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 Forexive:
Forexive Ltd (Company No. 15746920) was founded on 30 September 2024 and is registered in the United Kingdom, led by CEO Hooman Abbasi. The firm operates from Czech Republic and is active in 180+ countries with a team of 100+. Forexive offers two evaluation tracks (1-Step and 2-Step) with a top split reaching 95% and a maximum initial account of $250,000, scaling to $2,000,000. All accounts run on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. Instruments are currently limited to Forex only.
As a September 2024 launch, Forexive has a very limited public operating history. TheTrustedProp’s verification score of 60/100 (Average) reflects this early-stage status. The firm offers swap-free accounts, copy trading, and EA support as standard, with a commission of $3 per round lot.
1-Step Challenge ($65-$1,099 for $5K-$200K): Single phase, 10% profit target. Daily loss: 3% (equity-based static). Max drawdown: 6% (equity-based static). Leverage: 1:50 standard, 1:30 swing. Minimum 3 profitable trading days. Profit split: 80-95%. Unlimited time. No consistency rule published. Best for traders who prefer a single-phase evaluation with moderate drawdown parameters.
2-Step Challenge ($49-$999 for $5K-$200K): Phase 1: 10% target. Phase 2: 5% target. Daily loss: 5% (equity-based static). Max drawdown: 12% (equity-based static — one of the widest buffers in the 2-Step category). Leverage: 1:100 standard, 1:30 swing. Minimum 3 profitable trading days. Profit split: 80-95%. Unlimited time. The 12% max drawdown gives traders significant room to manage normal drawdown cycles across both evaluation phases.
Platforms: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5. Instruments: Forex only. Spreads from 0.0 pips. Match Trader and cTrader are listed as coming soon — the platform roadmap suggests expansion is planned but not yet available. Leverage up to 1:100 (2-Step) and 1:50 (1-Step).
Forexive earns a 6.0 BestProp score. The 2-Step 12% maximum drawdown is genuinely competitive — matching FundsCap’s industry-leading buffer at comparable fees. The 95% maximum profit split is among the highest published by any prop firm. EAs, copy trading, and swap-free accounts are all standard. Multiple crypto and bank payout methods add withdrawal flexibility.
The primary concerns: Forexive launched in September 2024 and has less than a year of operation at publication. TheTrustedProp’s 60/100 verification score is average and reflects the limited track record. Instruments are restricted to Forex only — no metals, indices, or crypto — which eliminates the firm for multi-asset traders. The $3/lot commission adds ongoing cost for active traders. Platforms beyond MT4/MT5 are still listed as coming soon. The customer rating of 4.1/5 is modest compared to established competitors. The combination of very young age, Forex-only instruments, and average trust score makes Forexive a monitored watch rather than a confident first-choice recommendation at this stage.
