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 most forgiving futures Test: no daily loss limit and a payout you can request on day one. The catch is an 80% starting split (90% only on PRO+) and a fixed-dollar trailing drawdown — verify current pricing on the live site.
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.
