Overview
If you’ve been comparing prop firms, Hola Prime has probably come up. It has been running since 2022 out of Unknown. The route to funding is a 2-Step evaluation, and you can scale to $200000 in funded capital. Here’s what we found testing it ourselves.
Getting funded runs through a 2-Step evaluation, with drawdown tracked on a Static basis — worth understanding before you start, since it decides how much room you really have on a bad day. You’ll be trading on MT5, keeping up to 80% of what you make. The firm advertises Standard cycle payouts. The tabs above break each of these down — rules, platforms, and payout experience — with the fine print that actually matters.
✅ What We Like
- Aggressively priced at the budget end of the forex category
- Shows up frequently in comparison-site discount roundups, which suggests active, ongoing promotional support
❌ What Could Be Better
- MT5 only — the most limited platform support of any forex firm on this list
- No news trading, no weekend holding — among the stricter rule sets in the category
- An 80% profit split ceiling, lower than most competitors
- Limited independent payout verification compared to the top-tier names
Score Breakdown
Evaluation Rules
The drawdown here is static — your loss limit is fixed from the starting balance and never moves up as you profit. If you start a $100K account with a 10% max drawdown, the floor stays at $90K no matter how high your equity climbs. This is the most forgiving model for traders who bank profits early, because winning never shrinks your room for error.

Trading Platforms
MT4's successor — faster backtesting, more timeframes, depth-of-market, and native support for more asset classes. Most newer firms have standardised on it.
Payouts
Payout reliability matters more than any headline number — a generous split means nothing if withdrawals stall. Hola Prime was processing withdrawals in Standard cycle when we last verified this review. If you've withdrawn from this firm recently and your experience differs, use the report link at the bottom of this review.
Our Honest Verdict
Price and promotional visibility are the whole game here, not rules flexibility or a long track record — the single-platform limit and the no-news, no-weekend restrictions put this behind FTMO or FundedNext on flexibility alone. Fine for testing the mechanics of prop trading cheaply, less convincing as a long-term primary firm given how thin the trust documentation still is.
