Our take
Ranked by highest profit split, then fewest days to first payout, then A–Z — only current products that allow news trading, not affiliate status. See the news-trading filter.
Tradeify and Lucid Trading lead at 90%. Tradeify's Lightning Funded publishes 0 days to first payout; LucidFlex publishes 5 days. Maven is third at 80% / on-demand (0 days) via Buy Now, Pay Later. Instant, Mini, BNPL and Prediction Markets allow news; Standard 1/2/3 keep a 2-minute Red Folder window — funded profit in that window is removed without ending the account (challenge still ends it). OMO funded news profit is capped at 0.50% of balance (Maven Terms Version 2026.3, 5 November 2026). Prediction Markets no longer wait 10 business days.
My Funded Futures Builder is next at 80% / 2 days. E8's 80% / 3 days is Signature Forex itself (news allowed); on 9 November 2026 its product page was still titled E8 Signature Forex, while the 8 November 2026 help article files it under Legacy products with Available Markets: Futures only. City Traders Imperium's 80% + 5 days is cross-product: 1-Step and 2-Step are 80% / 7 days; Instant Funding is 50% / 5 days and Direct Funding is 70% / 5 days — no single CTI product has both. FXIFY ranks on Two Phase Pro at 80% / 10 days. Crypto Fund Trader ranks tenth at 80% on Evaluation and Accelerated; Instant is 50%. None of those three publish a first-payout day. Break is not sold to new buyers as of 6 November 2026. BrightFunded and FTMO do not qualify.
Methodology
A firm qualifies when its profile allows news trading, or a challenge captured within 30 days explicitly allows it.
