Pros & Cons

Funding Pips

βœ… Pros
β€’ Splits up to 95% depending on your consistency, which beats a flat-rate model for anyone who trades well
β€’ Weekend holds, news trading β€” both allowed, no asterisks
β€’ Widely considered one of the easier on-ramps into prop trading for newer evaluators
β€’ Fees sit below FTMO and FundedNext without giving up much
❌ Cons
β€’ Launched in 2022, so there isn't a decade of payout history backing this one up yet
β€’ Community sentiment online is mixed β€” worth a current Trustpilot check before you commit a bigger account
β€’ MT4 isn't supported here either

Funded Trading Plus

βœ… Pros
β€’ Genuine 100% profit split at the top tier β€” the only major forex firm actually offering a zero-take rate
β€’ $19.5M+ in verified trader payouts since 2021, with a real multi-year track record
β€’ 4.4 to 4.7 star Trustpilot rating from over 2,600 reviews
β€’ No time limits on any evaluation, and news trading, hedging, and EAs all permitted without restriction
β€’ Five supported platforms, more than almost any competitor in this batch
❌ Cons
β€’ Reaching the 100% split tier realistically takes 10-15 months of consistent withdrawals for a typical trader
β€’ Some traders report that large single withdrawals can affect how the split-tier calculation reads, though documentation on this interaction isn't fully detailed
β€’ EA use is restricted to cTrader only on some account types
β€’ Forex commission of roughly $7/lot is a real cost most competitors don't charge separately
