Here is our full independent review of FunderPro Futures:
FunderPro Futures is operated by FunderPro Ltd (company number C 104558), registered in Malta and headquartered at Cali House, Level 3, San Gwann, SGN 9020, Malta. CEO Gary Mullen founded the firm in January 2023. FunderPro Futures is a futures-only evaluation platform focused on US futures contracts (primarily ES and MES), using a monthly subscription model rather than one-time challenge fees.
Critical trust notice: In January 2026, Trustpilot placed a consumer warning label on FunderPro’s profile after detecting two conflicting patterns simultaneously: a wave of 1-star reviews from unverifiable accounts, and a surge of unsolicited 5-star reviews exhibiting bot-like characteristics. The firm’s overall score sits at approximately 3.9/5 from 1,500+ reviews, with roughly 30% being 1-star. The 1-star count has climbed steadily since late 2025, with many reviews describing the same complaint: payout denied citing IP address overlap or lot-size inconsistency. BestProp strongly recommends independent research before purchasing any FunderPro Futures account.
FunderPro Futures charges a recurring monthly fee rather than a one-time challenge payment. Three account sizes are available, all with a free activation (no activation fee):
Monthly fees continue until the trader passes to funded status. Factor in that a multi-month evaluation path multiplies the total cost significantly.
Daily Pause (not a daily stop): When daily losses reach 2% of account size ($1,000 on $50K), all positions close automatically and trading is suspended until 16:05 CT the following trading day. This is a pause, not an account termination – the challenge continues the next day. This is meaningfully more forgiving than traditional daily drawdown rules that can end accounts permanently.
Maximum Drawdown (EOD trailing): The drawdown threshold trails based on end-of-day balance until it reaches the starting account balance. At that point it locks permanently at the starting balance. In practice: as long as you are net negative from start, the drawdown limit floats below you. Once you reach net profitability, the floor locks at the starting balance and your downside risk is capped to your original capital – you can never owe back more than what you started with.
Consistency Rule: Daily profit cannot exceed 40% of the total profit target during evaluation, or 50% during the funded phase. Excess daily profit is deferred to the following day’s target. This prevents one-day outliers from passing the challenge and encourages disciplined multi-day trading.
FunderPro Futures supports standard futures trading platforms (specific names not published on the main site – confirm with support before purchasing). Instruments: US futures contracts including ES (S&P 500 e-mini), MES (Micro ES), and other CME-listed products. Maximum allocation: $200,000 across funded accounts.
FunderPro Futures earns a 5.8 BestProp score. The Daily Pause mechanism (suspend for the day rather than terminate the account) and the EOD trailing drawdown that locks at starting balance are genuinely trader-friendly structural innovations. Unlimited resets and 5 simultaneous funded accounts add flexibility. The Malta registration is a solid EU jurisdiction.
The Trustpilot consumer warning label is a serious concern that BestProp cannot overlook. Combined with a 30% 1-star rate, a climbing negative review count, and recurring payout denial complaints, the independent trust signals are weak. The monthly subscription model means a slow evaluation multiplies cost significantly. The 10.14% pass rate is below-average. BestProp recommends approaching FunderPro Futures with caution and verifying current payout practices through third-party communities before purchasing.
Here is our full independent review of Audacity Capital:
Audacity Capital was founded in 2012, making it one of the longest-running prop trading firms in the world. UK-registered (Companies House 11652683) under CEO Karim Yousfi, the firm claims over $250 million paid out to traders and 500,000+ funded traders globally — numbers built over more than a decade of operation. The firm offers three programs: the 2-phase Ability Challenge, the 1-step Ability One, and the Funded Trader Program (FTP / Instant Funding).
The Ability Challenge is a two-phase evaluation. Phase 1 requires a 10% profit target with a 7.5% daily drawdown and 15% max drawdown — among the most generous drawdown limits in the industry. Phase 2 requires 5% with tighter 5%/10% limits. The Ability One is a single-phase evaluation with a 10% target, 3% daily, and 6% max drawdown. The FTP (Instant Funding) provides immediate funded access with up to 95% profit split and weekly payouts.
The Ability Challenge uses a trailing drawdown that resets daily when equity hits new highs. This mechanism confuses some traders — the daily limit recalculates at each new equity peak, meaning a trader can technically be in breach even while net-profitable over the full period. Review the drawdown rules carefully before trading.
News trading is allowed on the Ability Challenge without restrictions. The FTP requires a 30-minute waiting period after major economic events. EAs and copy trading are permitted. HFT, cross-account hedging, and martingale strategies are prohibited. Traders from the US, Syria, Iran, and North Korea cannot access the platform.
Ability Challenge payouts are made every 14 days via bank wire, Wise, PayPal, or crypto. The profit split starts at 50-75% on the Ability Challenge and scales to 95% over time. FTP accounts pay weekly at up to 95% immediately.
Trustpilot score is 3.4/5 from 1,067 reviews. While the majority of reviews are positive, approximately 125 are 1-star — prospective traders should review recent trader experiences before committing to the platform.
