The default for a reason — payouts running since 2015 and static drawdown. You pay for the track record with a 90% split, not the 95%+ newer firms dangle.
Highest split in the CFD majors at 95%, but 40% of any profit made in a news window is retained. Brilliant for swing traders, a trap for news traders.
The only firm here at a 100% split, and the only one with a 5-day minimum-trading-day rule. cTrader support makes it the pick for higher-frequency systems.
The futures veteran, funding traders since 2012. Trailing drawdown and a force-flat-at-session-close rule mean it's no home for anyone holding overnight.
A clean mid-tier CFD option — but MT5-only and an 80% split that trails the leaders. You're buying simple static-drawdown rules, not top economics.
The newer futures challenger and the rare futures firm that pays in crypto. Trailing drawdown applies, so size off the equity peak, not the balance.
A 90% split with on-demand payouts — but it restricts the US, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Confirm your residency before you pay for a challenge.
One of the few here pairing cTrader with MT5. A 2023 firm with an 80% split: competitive conditions, less track record than the names above it.
The lowest headline split on the board at 70% — but built around scaling and an operating history since 2018. A long-game account, not a quick flip.
Entry-tier: a $400K allocation ceiling and TradeLocker support, aimed at smaller accounts. Use the 10% code if you're testing a strategy at low stakes.
Broad platform coverage (MT4, MT5, cTrader) and a 90% split. Read the current rules page line by line before committing — this firm has rewritten them before.
An $800K-ceiling firm on MT5 and TradeLocker, launched 2023 with no published scaling plan. Fine for a first evaluation; light on a long-term path.
The highest ceiling on the list at $5M and a 90% split, with bi-weekly payouts. A 2022 firm sitting mid-table on overall conditions — verify the fee model.
Crypto-first, with weekly payouts that beat most rivals. A smaller $600K ceiling and an 80% split — the draw is the asset focus, not the economics.
