Here is our full independent review of Lux Trading Firm:
Lux Trading Firm was founded in 2020 and is operated by Lux Trading Firm Ltd (UK company #13160991, 128 City Road, London EC1V 2NX) and Lux Trading Firm ME L.L.C-FZ (UAE, #2311235.01, Dubai). CEO Oliver Olejár has built one of the most structurally distinct prop firms operating today – the only major prop firm to hold a Financial Times Award for Best A-book Prop Firm and one of the few that routes funded trades directly to the live market via FX Edge institutional liquidity. Trustpilot: 4.1/5 from 626+ reviews across five years of operation.
Most prop firms operate purely simulated accounts where the firm has no real market exposure. Lux Trading Firm’s funded accounts execute directly to the market via FX Edge, a real institutional liquidity provider. Trades are A-book routed – the firm has no conflict of interest in your success or failure, as it hedges all positions in the live market. This is the same model used by institutional prime brokers and is verified by an audited $1,000,000 track record. The Financial Times recognised this model with its Best A-book Prop Firm award – an external validation rarely achieved in this industry.
Practical consequence: a mandatory stop-loss rule on every trade. Because Lux carries real market risk on funded positions, it requires traders to protect every position with a stop-loss placed before entry. This is not a bureaucratic rule – it is a genuine risk management requirement that mirrors professional trading desk standards.
Three programs are available. All fees are in GBP.
1-Step Evaluation (£199-£999): A single evaluation phase with a profit target that varies by account size. The evaluation fee is 100% refunded after passing. Funded accounts scale up to $10,000,000 as the trader hits 10% profit targets at each funded level. No minimum or maximum trading day requirements.
INSTA Funding (£299-£699): Instant access without an evaluation phase. 12% profit target yields a one-time payout (80% of target profits). INSTA accounts do not scale and do not have copy trading access between accounts.
Prediction Markets (£85-£350): A specialist track for traders operating in prediction and event-based markets. Account sizes from £10,000 to £50,000. A 7-day free trial is available before purchasing.
Lux uses a single static maximum drawdown of 6% of the starting balance. There is no daily drawdown limit. This is one of the most trader-friendly drawdown structures in the industry – a bad session, a string of losses, or intraday volatility does not trigger an account breach unless the cumulative loss from the starting balance exceeds 6%. The drawdown never trails upward as the account grows, which means a funded $100,000 account maintains a $6,000 buffer regardless of how far it scales.
Evaluation-track funded accounts scale automatically after each 10% profit target is hit. The progression runs from the initial funded account to a maximum of $10,000,000 – the highest documented scaling ceiling of any standard prop firm program. Traders who reach elite status also access a salary program covering a stable monthly income. TPA (Traders’ Protection Authority) membership provides an additional dispute resolution layer.
Platforms: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, TradingView, MatchTrader (TraderEvolution). Instruments: Forex, Indices, Commodities, Cryptocurrencies, Stocks.
Lux Trading Firm earns a 7.8 BestProp score. Five years of operation, A-book live market execution, Financial Times award recognition, an audited track record, $10M scaling ceiling, no daily drawdown limit, and a dedicated risk manager from funded stage represent a genuinely institutional-grade prop firm offering. The 626+ Trustpilot reviews over five years reflect a firm that has delivered consistently at scale.
Traders should weigh three material constraints before purchasing. First, the mandatory stop-loss rule and 5% single-trade profit cap require disciplined trade management and will not suit every style – in particular, traders who run positions without stops or who rely on occasional large asymmetric wins. Second, the 80% profit split is below the 85-90% now standard at many newer competitors, and fees are in GBP (exchange rate exposure for non-GBP traders). Third, fully automated EAs are prohibited. For traders who accept these requirements, Lux offers one of the most credibly structured prop programs available – particularly for those who value genuine market execution over simulated environments.
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.
