San Gwann, Malta
Dubai, United Arab EmiratesWhich should you choose?
By trading style
| You are… | Pick | |
|---|---|---|
| Beginners | FunderPro | Classic has no consistency rule, static 10% drawdown and a refundable fee, but only 7.35% of buyers pass and funded rules tighten after the pass. |
| Experienced traders | Maven Trading | A cheap size ladder and three platform choices suit a seasoned trader testing a new firm with small size, but the 1% discretionary cap and the anti-review clause are dealbreakers for scaling up. |
| Swing traders | FunderPro | Unlimited time and a Swing add-on for weekends and news, though the add-on cuts FX leverage to 1:30 and the 20% margin cap still applies. |
| Scalpers | FunderPro | No minimum hold time and 1:100 FX leverage, but $5-7 per lot on funded accounts and arbitrage or execution-pattern reviews add risk. |
| EA & algo traders | FunderPro | EAs are allowed if you own the code; bought or shared bots, HFT and copy setups across people are banned. |
| News traders | FunderPro | News is free during challenges; funded accounts need the paid Swing add-on to trade inside the 2-minute window. |

The cheapest challenges we've reviewed, with a discretionary risk cap reviewers say voids funded accounts
