Cheap reset made recovery easy

The 80% profit split is the main reason I stay. Charts load fast, the data feed matches what I see elsewhere, and nothing lags. I like that the scaling plan is written down plainly instead of hidden in fine print.

Clean evaluation experience

Slippage happened in both directions, which tells me the fills are genuine. Funded trader status here comes with solid tools and a clean dashboard. My profits showed up less than 8h after I asked, which I'd call excellent.

Middle of the road funded program

The funded account feels about as good as I expected, no more, no less. It's a fair deal for beginners, less so for anyone scaling up. The withdrawal rules are written clearly enough, but the exceptions are buried deep in the FAQ.
