Here is our full independent review of FunderPro:
FunderPro was founded in May 2023 by CEO Gary Mullen and is registered in Malta.

Trustpilot score stands at 4.0/5 from 754 reviews. All accounts operate on TradeLocker or cTrader with access to 158 instruments across Forex, Indices, Crypto, Stocks, Metals, and Energies.
All FunderPro drawdown limits are static and balance-based — calculated at 5:00 p.m. EST (start of each trading day). There is no trailing drawdown on any program. Payouts are processed within one working day of approval, available daily, weekly, or bi-weekly.
A single-phase evaluation with a 14% profit target — among the higher single-phase targets in the industry. Daily loss limit: 4%. Max overall drawdown: 7% static. Leverage up to 1:50. News trading is not permitted on this track. 80% profit split on funded accounts. Fees: $5K/$79, $10K/$139, $25K/$249, $50K/$349, $100K/$549, $150K/$819, $200K/$1,099.

A skip-evaluation funded path starting from $79 for accounts up to $100,000. Full terms are available on the FunderPro website. Verify current pricing and rules before purchase as this is a separate product with distinct parameters.
Platforms: TradeLocker, cTrader. Instruments: 158 assets including major, minor, and exotic Forex pairs, global indices, cryptocurrencies, equities, metals, and energy products. One of the widest instrument selections among Malta-registered prop firms.
FunderPro earns a 7.2 BestProp score. Founded in 2023, the firm has paid out $21M+ and holds a 4.0/5 Trustpilot from 754 reviews — a reasonable track record for a two-year-old operation. Three distinct programs (One Phase, Regular 2-Phase, Swing) cover different trading styles. The 158-instrument count is genuinely broad, and the daily/weekly/bi-weekly payout flexibility adds convenience. EAs are permitted and same-day payout processing is fast by industry standards.
Key watch points: news trading is prohibited on Classic and One Phase — only the Swing program permits it. The One Phase 14% target with a 7% max drawdown is a tight risk-reward ratio for evaluation. Payout methods are limited to Riseworks and USDC crypto, which may not suit all traders. Verify whether ongoing post-activation fees apply to your chosen program. Overall a solid mid-tier option, particularly for EA traders and swing traders on the Swing program.
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.
