Cheapest challenge I could buy for a capital that big, by far. Got a payout in less than a month. The rules are easy to understand and easy to follow.

4.8/5
Marco D.
Passed the two-step in nine days. Requested a payout that evening and it hit my account before I went to bed.
Veronica Ö.
Dashboard is clean and easy to understand. Support is great - quick answers. My first payment arrived as promised.
Daniel R.
Took me two attempts to pass, but the trailing drawdown is fair and support actually replies. No games.
Adeel A.
The first trading firm that actually gave me a payout. Support staff is friendly and helpful. Genuine.
Sofia P.
The 99% split is real. I've withdrawn twice now, both times in under an hour. Still can't quite believe it.
Eric C.
Objectives are clear and the trading conditions are advantageous. If you follow the rules, everything runs smoothly.
James O.
Funded to $100k, scaled to $200k after my third payout. The scaling plan just works the way they describe it.
Mehmet Y.
No time limit on Classic meant I could trade at my own pace and pass without forcing a single trade.
Liam W.
Switched after another firm sat on my payout for weeks. Here the first one was instant. I'm not going back.
Priya N.
The challenge was tougher than I expected — but that's the point. Once funded it's been completely smooth.
Lukas B.
The crypto challenge on Bybit is a game changer for me. Same clear rules, on the venue I actually trade.
Carlos M.
First firm that paid me exactly what they promised. Keep up to 99% - and they genuinely mean it.
Anna K.
Support answered me at 2am the night before my payout. That kind of service is rare in this space.
