Trader Reviews

Only verified funded traders can leave reviews. No spam, no bias.

FTMO is simply the most professional prop firm I've used. The analytics tools, the trading journal, the dashboard are all genuinely useful rather than just decoration. Passed the challenge and verification first time, funded for eleven months now, and every payout has cleared within 24 hours of requesting. The fee gets refunded with your first payout which is a nice touch. Standard for a reason.

Been with The5ers for about eight months now and honestly they've been solid throughout. Started on the High Stakes programme, passed first time, and the account has been scaling up nicely. Payouts have always come through on time, usually within a day or two of requesting. The bi-weekly cycle suits me fine. Support is responsive too, nothing like the horror stories you hear about other firms.

Weekly payouts changed how I think about prop trading income. Instead of waiting two weeks to access profits I made on Monday I'm getting paid every week. The 90% split is competitive and the news trading being allowed made this an easy choice over FTMO for my style. Five months funded, every payment on time.

The Guardian Protector feature is genuinely brilliant. It auto closes my positions if I get close to the daily limit which has saved me from breaching the rules twice already. I know some traders think it limits them but for someone who sometimes lets losses run it's exactly the guardrail I needed. Two payouts both processed within 24 hours as promised.

E8 has been my main firm for over a year. US based which matters to me and the on demand payouts are genuinely on demand, not just marketing. Requested a withdrawal on a Tuesday afternoon and it was in my account by Thursday morning. The 8% drawdown is tighter than some competitors but it keeps you disciplined. Would recommend to any serious trader.

The path to 100% split is real and achievable. Hit the 20% total profit milestone after six months and the split bumped up automatically. No drama, no application, just happened as described. The 2-Step Classic with static drawdown is also genuinely more forgiving for swing traders, the floor doesn't move which removes a lot of stress.

Maven is genuinely the best option for traders on a tighter budget. Started with a small account to test them out, passed without any issues, and the payout every ten days is fine for my needs. The spreads are wider than FTMO but at this price point it's expected. Just make sure you're not running EAs, they take that rule seriously.

The combination of no daily loss limit and news trading being allowed is genuinely rare. Most firms make you choose one or the other. I trade around economic releases and the daily loss limit at other firms has caused me problems before, so finding a firm that removes both restrictions was a big deal. Two payouts processed quickly, good experience.

Zero commission trading is the feature that sold me and it lives up to the promise. For the volume I trade the cost difference is material. Fixed 90% split with no scaling plan needed is also refreshing compared to firms where you have to hit milestones just to get a decent percentage. On demand payouts work as described.

One of the oldest firms in the space and it shows in the way they operate. Rules are consistent, the team actually knows what they're talking about, and the CTI Academy content is legitimately useful. The monthly payout cycle is the main trade-off but if you're planning this as a long term income source rather than a quick withdrawal it suits the model.
