Real Talk

Drawdown Reality

4% EOD drawdown on Standard is the most generous in the industry ($4K on $100K vs $3K-$3.5K everywhere else). Advanced has 3.5% but withdrawals don't reduce it (unique advantage).

Consistency Reality

Advanced has NO consistency on funded - rare and valuable. Standard/Zero have 40%. Advanced costs more but the freedom is worth it.

Payout Reality

Standard starts at 70% split - worst starting split in industry. Takes 5 payouts (~10 weeks) to reach 90%. Advanced starts at 90% but costs double and has 8% profit target. Zero has tight payout caps ($1.5K-$2.5K).

Copy Trading Reality

Allowed for single user across own accounts. Automated group copying and reverse trading prohibited. Micro-scalping banned (under 2 min or 10 ticks). HFT banned (100+ trades/day).

The Verdict

Best drawdown room (4% Standard). Advanced plan's no-DLL + no-consistency + withdrawals-don't-reduce-drawdown is genuinely the best funded experience available. But: Standard's 70% starting split is awful, news restricted on Standard/Zero, and automation prohibited.

Best For

Advanced plan for traders who want the cleanest funded experience (no DLL, no consistency, drawdown doesn't shrink after payouts). Standard for those wanting maximum drawdown room cheaply.

Watch Out

Standard 70% starting split (worst in industry). Micro-scalping ban (2 min / 10 ticks). HFT ban (100+ trades/day). News restricted on Standard/Zero (2 min buffer). Automation prohibited. Standard/Zero: withdrawals reduce max loss limit.
