"Is This Firm For You?" (The Persona Match)
Stop the user from guessing. Tell them immediately if they fit.
Yes, join if:
You Value Transparency
FunderPro self-discloses a 7.35% pass rate — rare in this industry. Visible CEO, named owner, and registered entities are all on the website.
You Want Fee Recovery
Classic and One Phase entry fees are 100% refunded with your first funded payout. Effective long-term cost drops to zero.
You Want Platform Choice
Three options: TradeLocker (own platform), cTrader, and MT5. More flexibility than most firms in this price bracket.
No, avoid if:
You Rely on Weekend Holding
Weekend holding is not included in the base fee. It requires a purchasable add-on at checkout — a meaningful extra cost for swing traders.
You Need MT4
MT4 is not available on any account type. MT5, cTrader, and TradeLocker only. US clients also cannot access MT5.
You Are Sensitive to Upfront Cost
At $989 for a $100,000 Classic challenge. FunderPro is among the most expensive options at this account size — even accounting for the refund.

⚠️ The "Hidden Rule" Detector
The Weekend Holding Trap
The Rule
Weekend holding is not included in the standard challenge fee. It must be purchased as an add-on at checkout. The cost is separate from the base fee and is non-refundable.
The Reality
If you are a swing trader who holds positions over the weekend, the true cost of your challenge is higher than advertised. Many traders only discover this at the point of purchase — after they've already committed to the firm.
Propify Pro-Tip
Check the add-on pricing before you buy. Budget for it as part of your total challenge cost. The base fee refund applies only to the challenge fee — add-ons are not refunded regardless of outcome.

⚡ The News Trading Scenario
Scenario
It's NFP Friday. Can you trade?
On Evaluation
News trading is permitted.
On Funded Account
Same ±2 minute rule applies on funded accounts. This is stricter than most competitors there is no grace period for holding through the announcement. Note that this only applies too major news
Pro Tip
FunderPro's news window is tighter than the sector norm. If news trading is core to your strategy, you must adapt to this rule on both evaluation and funded accounts. Pre-news entries that close before the release are unaffected.
Editor's Verdict: The "No-Hype" Review
FunderPro (est. 2023) is a Malta and Saint Lucia-based prop firm operating under the Red Acre family office. Launched with three distinct challenge types to match different trader profiles, it has earned a reputation for unusual transparency, including the industry-rare disclosure of a 7.35% pass rate. Whether that number reads as confidence or caution depends on your perspective, but publishing it at all puts FunderPro well ahead of most competitors on honesty.
The challenge structure is the single most important thing to understand before you buy. One Phase is a single-step evaluation with a 10% profit target, tighter drawdown limits (3% daily / 6% max), and fee refunded on pass. Classic is two-step (Phase 2 target: 5%) with the same fee refund. Pro is also two-step (Phase 2 target: 8%), the entry fee is not refunded, but Pro unlocks on-demand daily or weekly pay-outs and an automatic 90% profit split. Instant funding for those that dont want to pass a challenge first is available. Each path has different rules, selecting the wrong one for your style is important. Read the specific conditions for your chosen type before checkout.
Pricing is the most confusing aspect of FunderPro. At $989 for a $100,000 Classic challenge, this is among the most expensive entries in the current market. The fee refund for passing the challenge is great for those that manage it. Classic and One Phase traders recover the full entry cost on first funded payout but the upfront outlay is real, and the Pro account fee of $1,319 is non-refundable under any circumstances. The add-on system adds a further wrinkle: weekend holding, which most competing firms include as standard, requires a separate purchase at checkout.
FunderPro runs on three platforms: its own TradeLocker (giving the firm direct control over the trading environment), cTrader, and MT5. MT4 is not available. US clients cannot access MT5, leaving TradeLocker and cTrader as the only options. Three platforms is above average for the sector. The firm’s ownership of TradeLocker technology is unique means fewer third-party dependencies and faster iteration on features.
One of FunderPro’s most trader-friendly features is rarely highlighted: the consistency rule applies only during the challenge, not on funded accounts. Many firms extend this restriction to payout requests, making every withdrawal a secondary hurdle. FunderPro’s funded accounts carry no consistency cap, once you are trading real simulated funds, the best-day limit disappears. Profit split is 80% standard, rising to 90% with the Pro weekly plan or a purchasable add-on. Scaling runs to a maximum of $5,000,000 one of the higher caps currently available.
The Propify Index scores FunderPro at 67/100, 3.5 Stars (“Good”). It scores well on transparency, no-time-limit flexibility, platform breadth, and scaling headroom. It loses points on upfront cost relative to peers, a below-average TrustPilot of 3.9 (although there is a review issue here being investigated so this may not be a true reflection), and the add-on model that charges separately for features other firms include as standard.

Rules Deconstructed
A detailed breakdown of the specific trading rules found in the database.
The "Hidden" Rules (Funded Accounts Only)
The challenge and funded account share most rules — but these conditions apply specifically once you are funded.
No Consistency Rule on Funded Account
The best-day cap (≤40% One Phase / ≤45% Pro) applies only during the challenge evaluation. Once funded, this restriction is lifted entirely. Payout requests are not subject to a consistency check.
Weekend Holding Add-On Required
Purchased at checkout, non-transferable between challenges. If you did not buy the add-on at challenge start, weekend holding is not available on that funded account.
30-Day Inactivity Rule
Funded accounts that are inactive for 30 consecutive calendar days may be terminated without prior notice. Maintain at least one trade per month to keep your funded status.
Drawdown & Loss Limits
FunderPro uses Static (Balance-Based) Drawdown — not trailing. The floor does not move as your account grows.
One Phase: Max Total Loss — 6%
Static — based on starting balance. Daily loss limit: 3%. Tighter than Classic and Pro, reflecting the single-step structure.
Classic & Pro: Max Total Loss — 10%
Static — based on starting balance. Daily loss limit: 5%. Standard for the two-step challenge types. The floor does not trail profits.
Prohibited Strategies
Arbitrage
Latency arbitrage and any form of price arbitrage between data feeds is prohibited across all account types and challenge phases.
High-Frequency Trading (HFT)
Automated high-frequency strategies are are permitted with limits. Manual trading and standard algorithmic strategies within the platform rules are acceptable. Anything that looks like latency arb or taking advantage of systems flaws is not.
Copy Trading / Group Trading
Co-ordinated trading across multiple accounts and third-party copy trading services are prohibited. Each account must be traded independently.
Payout Policy
Verified bi-weekly schedule (Classic/One Phase). On-demand daily or weekly for Pro accounts.
Payout Schedule & Speed
Instant, Classic & One Phase, Bi-Weekly
Withdrawal requests processed bi-weekly. Submit your request through the dashboard and funds are processed within the stated schedule. Minimum withdrawal: verify in dashboard.
Pro Account, On-Demand
Daily or weekly payout requests available. Processing typically within 24–48 hours depending on method. Among the most flexible payout structures currently available in the sector.
Processing Time
Crypto and card payouts typically fastest. Bank wire may take additional business days. No withdrawal fees charged by FunderPro — payment provider fees may apply.
Profit Split & Scaling
Starting Split
80% standard across all account types and challenge paths.
Scaling Potential

Refunds
Classic and One Phase evaluation fees are 100% refunded with your first successful funded payout. Pro account fees are non-refundable. Add-on fees are non-refundable on all account types.
Pros & Cons
The Good
Three Distinct Challenge Paths
One Phase, Classic, and Pro each have meaningfully different rules, fees, and payout structures — not just cosmetic variations. Choose the path that fits your trading style.
Consistency Rule on Challenge Only
The best-day cap applies during the challenge evaluation but is lifted entirely on funded accounts. Payout requests are not subject to a consistency check — a genuine advantage over many competitors.
Rare Transparency
7.35% pass rate self-disclosed. CEO, parent company (Red Acre), and registered entities all visible on the website. Uncommon for a firm founded in 2023.
The Bad
Expensive Upfront
At $989 for a $100k Classic challenge (refundable) and $1,319 for Pro (non-refundable), FunderPro sits among the highest entry costs in the sector at this account size.
Add-On Required for Basic Features
Weekend holding — standard at most competing firms — requires a separate purchase. The add-on makes the total cost less transparent and higher than the headline price suggests.
Below-Average TrustPilot
3.9*/5 is below the sector average for funded prop firms. Indicates a more mixed trader experience than top-tier competitors scoring 4.5 and above. (*Under Review)

The Math
FunderPro Cost: $9.89 per $1,000 of buying power (upfront). Fee is 100% refunded on first funded payout — effective long-term cost: $0. Industry Average: ~$5.00–$5.50 per $1,000. Verdict: Expensive upfront but fee recovery on pass makes this competitive for traders who expect to get funded. Pro account ($1,319, not refunded) calculates at $13.19/1k — the highest in the current comparison set.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between One Phase, Classic, and Pro challenges?
A: All three require a 10% profit target in Phase 1. One Phase is a single-step evaluation with a 10% profit target, tighter drawdown limits (3% daily / 6% max) and fee refunded on first funded payout. Classic is two-step (Phase 2 target: 5%) with the same fee refund. Pro is two-step (Phase 2 target: 8%), the entry fee is not refunded, but Pro unlocks on-demand daily or weekly payouts and an automatic 90% profit split. Daily and max drawdown on Classic and Pro are 5% and 10% respectively.
Q: Is the challenge fee refunded?
A: It depends on the account type. Classic and One Phase entry fees are 100% refunded with your first successful funded payout. The Pro account fee is not refunded under any circumstances. Add-on fees (such as weekend holding) are non-refundable on all account types.
Q: Does the consistency rule apply on funded accounts?
A: No — and this is one of FunderPro’s genuine advantages over many competitors. The consistency rule (best day ≤40% of total profit for One Phase; ≤45% for Pro) applies only during the challenge evaluation. Once funded, this restriction is lifted entirely and does not apply to payout requests.
Q: What is the news trading rule?
A: Trades must be opened and closed within a ±2 minute window around major news releases. Positions held through a news event may be flagged for review. This rule applies on both evaluation and funded accounts and is stricter than the window offered by most competing firms.
Q: Can I use Expert Advisors or automated strategies?
A: HFT, latency arbitrage, and copy trading are explicitly prohibited. FunderPro does not publish a blanket ban on all EAs, but automated strategies that constitute arbitrage or HFT are not permitted. If you use an automated system, verify current EA policy directly with FunderPro support before purchasing.
Q: What is the payout schedule?
A: Classic and One Phase accounts pay out bi-weekly. Pro account holders can request payouts on-demand — daily or weekly — which is among the most flexible payout structures currently available in the sector.
Q: How does the add-on system work?
A: Certain features — including weekend holding — must be purchased as separate add-ons at checkout. These are not included in the base challenge price and are non-refundable. If your strategy requires weekend holding, budget for the add-on as part of your total challenge cost before purchasing.
Q: What platforms are available?
A: FunderPro offers TradeLocker (the firm’s own proprietary platform, available on web, mobile, and desktop), cTrader, and MT5. MT4 is not available. US clients cannot use MT5 — TradeLocker and cTrader remain available.
Q: Is FunderPro a regulated firm?
A: FunderPro operates through two entities — FunderPro Ltd (registered in Malta, C 104558) and FunderPro Saint Lucia Ltd. The firm explicitly states that all accounts are simulated and do not involve real client funds. No financial regulatory licence is claimed or required for simulated prop trading operations.
Q: Is Instant Funding Available?
A: Yes this firm does allow instant access to a funded account.
