Pros & Cons

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

DNA Funded

βœ… Pros
β€’ Over 800 tradeable instruments. That's among the widest access on this entire list
β€’ Backed by DNA Markets, a regulated broker β€” a stronger trust signal than several unregulated names here
β€’ Spreads advertised from 0.0 pips, genuinely competitive if cost matters to you
β€’ Gets you in starting at $49
❌ Cons
β€’ Launched in 2024 β€” the shortest track record on this list by a wide margin, so payout consistency over time is simply unproven
β€’ There isn't much independent long-run review coverage yet, compared to firms that have been around since 2015 or 2016
β€’ Only two platforms supported, versus FTMO's three
