Breakout

8.1/ 10

A crypto-native sim funder (USDT-margined perps) with no minimum days, no time limit and no consistency rule — pass in a single trade if you want. The catches are the equity-based drawdown that breaches the instant it's touched (open positions included), permanent breaches with no free retries, and a strict same-household/IP/device ban. Payouts are daily, on-demand, in USDC.

The FundedWiki verdict

8.1/10

The cleanest rule set in crypto prop — no min days, no consistency, daily on-demand USDC payouts — but the equity drawdown breaches on any touch and a breach is permanent.

Pros

  • No minimum trading days, no time limit, no consistency rule
  • Daily on-demand payouts in USDC, $50 minimum, first payout 1 day after funding
  • News trading allowed; 24/7 crypto with weekend/overnight holding
  • Bots/algos allowed (unsupported); hedging within a single account is on by default

Watch out

  • Drawdown is equity-based and breaches the instant it's touched — open floating loss included
  • A breach is permanent: no resets or discounted retries (Breach Insurance is a paid add-on)
  • Same-household / same-IP / same-device trading is prohibited; strategy-switching is bannable

Best for: Crypto traders who want maximum rule freedom and fast USDC payouts — and who manage floating risk tightly because a single touch of the line ends the account.

Bottom line: Excellent freedom and payout mechanics for crypto; just respect the instant-breach drawdown and the household/IP rules, and consider Breach Insurance.

The rules, one by one

DrawdownConditionalVoids accountHidden ruleVerified

Maximum drawdown (static on 1-step, trailing on 2-step)

1-Step accounts use a STATIC floor set at purchase that never moves (Classic 6%, Pro 5%, Turbo 3%). The 2-Step uses an 8% TRAILING drawdown tied to the high-water-mark — it trails up with new equity highs, never past the starting balance, and never trails down on losses. It is equity-based: if equity (including floating P&L) touches the line at any point for any duration, the account is permanently breached.

Gotcha: A momentary floating-loss spike that touches the line kills the account even if price snaps back — and the breach is permanent.

DrawdownConditionalVoids accountVerified

Daily loss limit

3% on 1-Step, 4% on 2-Step, recalculated each day from the balance at the 00:30 UTC reset. Daily loss and max drawdown are enforced simultaneously — hitting either is a breach.

Gotcha: Notional swap fees (0.033%/day per position, deducted at 00:25 UTC) and commissions hit the demo balance and can push you toward the line.

ConsistencyAllowedSoft / informationalVerified

Consistency rule

No consistency rule, no profit cap, no risk-per-trade rule and no anti-gambling rule on the evaluation. (Some reviews report a discretionary payout review, but no formal % is published.)

News tradingAllowedSoft / informationalVerified

News trading

Trading during all news events is allowed, subject to data/pricing liquidity from third-party providers. As a 24/7 crypto firm there's no traditional news-calendar blackout.

Weekend holdingAllowedSoft / informationalVerified

Weekend & overnight holding

Crypto trades 24/7, so weekend and overnight holding are allowed. A 0.033% daily swap fee per open position is deducted from the demo balance at 00:25 UTC.

EAs & algosConditionalVoids accountVerified

Bots & copy trading

Bots/algos/EAs are allowed but completely unsupported, and there is no public trading API (execution is via the browser-based Breakout Terminal). Copy trading is prohibited — both copying between users' accounts and copying third-party signals/ideas.

Gotcha: No API and a browser-only terminal make true automation impractical even though bots are 'allowed'.

Prohibited strategiesForbiddenVoids accountHidden ruleVerified

Latency exploit, strategy switching, account sharing

Prohibited: exploiting pricing/latency errors, insider info, front-running, demo arbitrage (vs another account), strategy switching (one approach in eval, another when funded), copy trading, account sharing — including same household / device / IP — and cross-account hedging. Hedging within a single account is permitted (Hedge Mode on by default).

Gotcha: Same-household / same-IP / same-device trading is banned — risky for couples, roommates or anyone on a shared network — and changing your style from eval to funded is treated as a violation.

Min trading daysAllowedSoft / informationalVerified

Minimum trading days

None. No minimum trading days and no time limit on any phase — you can pass in a single trade on a single day.

PayoutsConditionalPayout deniedHidden ruleVerified

Payouts & split

80% default split, upgradable to 90% as a paid add-on. First payout is eligible 1 day after the funded account is issued, then on-demand every day; all positions must be closed to request. $50 minimum, paid in USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), processed within 24–48 hours. KYC is required before accessing the funded account (not to start the eval). A breached account can only withdraw earned profit if Breach Insurance was purchased (within 7 days of breaching).

Gotcha: Without the paid Breach Insurance add-on, a breach forfeits even already-earned trading profit that hasn't been approved for payout.
