Verdicts

FTMO verdict

Still the benchmark for getting paid, but read the risk clauses before you size up

Best for: Disciplined day and swing traders who risk about 1% per trade idea and value an 11-year payout record over the cheapest fee.

Avoid if: You pass challenges with oversized positions, run copy or group setups across accounts, or need rules that cannot be tightened after you pass.

Hola Prime verdict

Cheap and fast with standout support, but the 2% trade-idea rule is the account-killer to watch

Best for: Disciplined CFD swing traders who want cheap, fast evaluations, unrestricted news/weekend trading on the Prime plans, and are careful to keep risk under 2% per trade idea.

Avoid if: You rely on EAs outside a paid MT5 add-on, trade from a shared or recycled-IP VPS, or need a multi-year payout track record before committing real evaluation money.
