Here is our full independent review of Funded Elite:
Funded Elite was founded in 2023 and is operated from Latina, Italy, by co-CEOs Christian Habibi and Artur Seriihovych Deshko. The firm holds a 4.7/5 Trustpilot score from 280+ reviews – one of the stronger independent ratings for a firm its age. Six program types are offered, including the industry-unusual Flash Activation model where traders pay just $5 to start and only cover the remaining challenge fee upon passing. Maximum funded allocation reaches $300,000.
Note: Funded Elite and FuturesElite share co-CEO Christian Habibi and the same Latina, Italy base of operations. They are sibling firms under the same leadership.
Flash Activation ($5 upfront for all sizes $7K-$300K): The most accessible entry point in the prop firm space. Pay $5 to begin the evaluation. The remaining challenge fee is only charged upon successfully passing – if you fail, you lose only $5. This eliminates the primary financial risk of evaluation failure for traders who want to test the rules before committing.
2-Step Challenge ($41-$6,263 for $7K-$300K): Phase 1 profit target: 6-12% (varies by account size). Phase 2: 5%. Daily drawdown: 5%. Max drawdown: 5-10% static. Minimum 3 trading days per phase. No time limit. Profit split: 60-95%.
1-Step Challenge ($52-$6,928 for $7K-$300K): Single phase, 8-12% profit target. Daily drawdown: 3%. Max drawdown: 5-10% static. Minimum 3 trading days. Profit split: 60-95%.
Lite 2-Step ($13-$4,135 for $5K-$300K): Lower-cost variant of the 2-Step. Phase 1: 6-12%, Phase 2: 5%. Daily drawdown: 4%. Max drawdown: 6-10% static. Minimum 3 trading days. Profit split: 60-95%. Entry from $13 makes this one of the most affordable 2-step paths available.
Lite 1-Step ($18-$5,121 for $5K-$100K): Budget single-phase option with 3-day minimum. Daily drawdown: 4%. Max drawdown: 6-10% static. Profit split: 60-95%.
Instant Funding ($159-$2,787 for $7K-$100K): No profit target required. Daily drawdown: 3%. Max drawdown: 6% trailing equity. Profit split: 70-95%. Note: trailing equity drawdown on Instant accounts means the max loss threshold rises with the high watermark – tighter than static drawdown accounts.
Platforms: MetaTrader 5, TradeLocker, Edge by Axe, cTrader. Four platforms is above average. Instruments: 174 assets covering Forex pairs, Indices, Metals, Energy, and US Stocks.
Funded Elite earns a 7.3 BestProp score. The Flash Activation model ($5 upfront) is a genuine industry innovation that removes the biggest barrier to evaluation entry – the fear of paying $40-$200 and failing. Four trading platforms, 4.7/5 Trustpilot from 280+ reviews, and six program types give traders meaningful choices. The Lite track makes prop trading accessible from $13.
Key watch-outs: the per-lot commission ($3-7/lot) adds real ongoing cost beyond the challenge fee, EA restrictions limit automated strategies to analysis roles, and the initial payout processing of 3-21 days is slower than industry average. The 60% minimum profit split on some programs is well below the 80-90% standard – check which split applies to your specific program and account size before purchasing. The sibling relationship with FuturesElite means the leadership team runs two firms simultaneously.
Here is our full independent review of SuperFunded:
SuperFunded was founded in 2023 and is operated from Australia by CEO Ryu Takahashi. The firm partners with Eightcap, a regulated Australian broker, providing the brokerage infrastructure behind funded accounts. Two evaluation tracks are available – a 1-Step Turbo and a 2-Step Classic – across account sizes from $3,000 to $200,000, with maximum combined allocation of $600,000 across three simultaneous accounts (up to $1.5M via scaling per TPO data). No MetaTrader is supported; trading runs exclusively on modern platforms.
1-Step Turbo: A single evaluation phase with a 10% profit target. Max drawdown: 6% trailing (the drawdown threshold rises with the account equity high watermark). Daily drawdown: 4-5%. No minimum trading days. No time limit. Fees: $89 ($10K), $299 ($50K), $499 ($100K). Challenge fees refunded on first payout.
2-Step Classic ($33-$999 for $3K-$200K): Phase 1: 10% profit target. Phase 2: 5%. Max drawdown: 10% static (fixed from starting balance, never trails). Daily drawdown: 5%. Minimum 4 trading days per phase. No time limit. Profit split up to 90%. Challenge fees refunded on first payout.
The drawdown structure distinction is meaningful: the Turbo’s 6% trailing drawdown tightens as profits accumulate, while the Classic’s 10% static drawdown remains fixed regardless of how much the account grows. Consistent traders who grow the account quickly may find the Classic easier to hold despite its longer evaluation path.
TradeLocker, DXTrade, cTrader, Match-Trader. Four modern platforms, none of which are MetaTrader. Traders who require MT4/MT5 cannot use SuperFunded.
SuperFunded earns a 6.5 BestProp score. The Eightcap partnership with ASIC regulation gives the firm a credible brokerage foundation. Four modern platforms, news and weekend trading permitted, no minimum trading days on Turbo, and fee refund on first payout are genuine positives. The 2-Step Classic’s static 10% drawdown is generous by industry standards.
The main concerns: the Trustpilot review count is small (30+ reviews at 4.2-4.4/5) meaning the independent sample size is limited, the founding timeline has been reported inconsistently across sources (2023 vs 2024), no MetaTrader support rules out a significant portion of traders, and the maximum combined allocation of $600K is lower than many competitors. The 1-Step Turbo’s trailing drawdown is also more punishing than it first appears once a trader starts building equity. Start with the 2-Step Classic at a lower account size to verify the payout process.
