Here is our full independent review of iFunds:
iFunds is operated by iFunds Ltd (Saint Lucia, Registration No. 2024-00154) and Synerjic Ltd (Cyprus, Registration No. 474148), led by CEO Layth Sanjaq. The firm offers a purely instant-funded model — there is no evaluation phase. Traders receive capital immediately and configure their own risk parameters at purchase. iFunds holds a 4.7/5 Trustpilot rating with 93% five-star reviews. Maximum account size is $500,000. Payouts are processed within 24 hours, with a 10% bonus (up to $1,000) if the 24-hour window is missed.
The defining feature of iFunds is its customizable risk-reward model: traders select their maximum drawdown threshold at account purchase (between 6% and 10% of initial balance). A lower chosen drawdown ceiling yields a higher profit split; a higher drawdown tolerance yields a lower split. This places risk management directly in the trader’s hands from day one.
No evaluation. No profit target to begin trading. Traders select a max drawdown level — the lower the max DD they accept, the higher their profit share. The exact split-to-DD mapping is:
There is no daily loss limit on any iFunds account — only the chosen maximum drawdown applies. This gives traders full intraday flexibility; only the total equity drop from the starting balance is monitored.
Note: fees represent a meaningful percentage of account size on smaller accounts ($250 for $2,500 = 10%). This is consistent with instant-funded models where no evaluation filters risk, and reflects the immediacy of funded access. Fees are described as a participation fee — refund terms are governed by iFunds’ separate Refund Policy.
Platforms: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5. Instruments: Stocks, currencies, metals, energies, cryptocurrencies. Leverage: up to 1:100 (dynamic, based on risk level). All instruments accessible on both platforms with the same account.
iFunds earns a 6.5 BestProp score. The customizable risk-reward model is genuinely innovative — letting traders choose their own drawdown tolerance and receive a commensurate profit share puts risk management in the right hands. 4.7/5 Trustpilot with 93% five-star reviews is excellent for a 2024-registered firm. No daily loss limit provides real intraday freedom. EAs, news trading, trade copiers, and multi-IP are all permitted with minimal restrictions. On-demand payouts with a 24-hour guarantee and bonus incentive are strong operational commitments.
The main caution is the fee-to-account-size ratio on small accounts: $250 for a $2,500 funded account is a 10% upfront cost, and the base profit split at the highest drawdown tolerance is only 50%. Traders who want immediate funding of small accounts should run the numbers carefully — at 50% split and $250 fee, the break-even is $500 in gross profit (1 * fee * 2), meaning the account must gain 20% before the trader recups the fee net of split. iFunds works best for confident, disciplined traders who can accept tight drawdown limits in exchange for a higher profit share, or those with access to automated strategies that benefit from no daily DD restriction. The 2024 registration means the track record, while so far positive, is less than two years old.
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.
