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 OneUp Trader:
OneUp Trader is one of the longest-standing futures prop firms in the industry, founded in 2016 and based in Delaware, USA. Rather than a traditional phased evaluation, OneUp uses a monthly subscription model — pay a flat monthly fee for an evaluation account and keep trading until you hit the profit target. There are no Phase 2 requirements.
OneUp uses a trailing max drawdown that locks in at your initial account balance. As your equity rises the drawdown level trails upward, but once it reaches your original starting balance it stops — meaning your maximum total loss from day one is capped at the drawdown amount. There is no daily loss limit, giving traders full flexibility on individual trading days.
Funded traders receive 100% of profits on the first $10,000 earned, then 90% on all profits thereafter. This makes OneUp unusually attractive in the early funded stage. Up to three funded accounts can be held simultaneously (one account for the Express plan).
News trading is prohibited during the funded phase with a 1-minute blackout window around major economic releases. High-frequency trading and latency arbitrage are banned — all positions must be held for at least 10 seconds. A consistency rule applies: the combined net profit of your three next-best trading days must equal at least 80% of your single best day, preventing performance from being dominated by one outlier session. Expert Advisors are permitted for individual accounts; copy trading across accounts is not.
OneUp supports 20+ platforms including NinjaTrader (provided free), Sierra Chart, MultiCharts, TradeStation, and Tradovate. Traders can access 40+ CME futures products including ES, NQ, YM, CL, GC, 6E, and a range of agricultural and currency contracts. Exchange data fees are waived — a meaningful cost saving compared to most futures brokers.
Payouts are processed weekly via bank wire, Bitcoin, USDT, or ETH. Crypto payouts carry a 5% processor fee. A 7-day free trial is available, allowing traders to test the platform before committing to a subscription.
