A London (Quant Tekel) forex firm running several product families in parallel — QT PRIME (static 10% max, no mandatory consistency), QT POWER (8% static, EOD daily, 35% consistency) and QT INSTANT (6% trailing). The biggest trap is the plan-name ambiguity itself (the same 'PRIME' label has carried different numbers across vintages), plus a 75%-of-daily-drawdown-on-one-trade ban and a broad 'toxic trading' discretion clause.
Flexible product range with static drawdowns on PRIME and weekend holding allowed — but multi-vintage plan naming, a broad 'toxic trading' discretion clause and mixed community sentiment hold it back.
Pros
QT PRIME uses a static 10% max drawdown with no mandatory consistency rule on the standard path
Weekend and overnight holding allowed; swap-free option available
MT5 included; cTrader and TradeLocker as add-ons; multi-asset CFDs
Scaling path to a 90–100% split with on-demand payouts (consistency-gated)
Watch out
Plan naming spans several vintages — the same 'PRIME' label has carried different drawdown/target numbers
Using more than 75% of your daily drawdown on a single trade is a prohibited 'all-or-nothing' violation
A subjective 'toxic trading' / Risk-Department clause can void accounts; not available to US traders
Best for: Traders who want static-drawdown evaluations (PRIME) with weekend holding — and who verify the exact spec on the product card they buy and size below the 75%-daily-DD rule.
Bottom line: Workable specs but read the exact product card before buying; the discretion clause and plan-name drift are the main risks.

Payouts
14-day cycle (POWER on-demand); min $110; first payouts ~5% capped
QT PRIME: 10% static, based on the initial balance (does not trail). QT POWER: 8% static/balance-based. QT INSTANT: 6% trailing from the highest recorded balance or floating equity. The newer entry 'QT 2 Step' product uses a 6% max — which is why some sources mistakenly report PRIME as 6%.
Gotcha: The same 'PRIME' name has shipped with different numbers across vintages — confirm the max-DD on the exact product card you buy.
QT PRIME: 4%, fixed from the starting balance. QT POWER: 4%, calculated on an end-of-day basis. QT INSTANT: 3%, static from the initial balance. The reset is around 22:00 UTC (21:00 during DST).
Gotcha: POWER's daily limit is EOD-based, not intraday-balance — different math from PRIME's static-from-start daily.
QT POWER: 35% consistency score = (best day profit ÷ total profit) × 100 must stay ≤ 35%. QT INSTANT: 25% score plus a 5% minimum profit to request a payout. QT PRIME: no mandatory consistency on the standard path, but ~35% consistency becomes required to unlock on-demand payouts / the enhanced (up to 100%) split. It gates the payout rather than voiding the account.
Gotcha: The headline 100% / on-demand perks on PRIME are locked behind hitting 35% consistency plus a minimum profit.
You cannot open, close or modify trades within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact ('red folder') Forex Factory event. Limit orders placed more than 5 minutes before the event with predefined SL & TP may remain, and positions opened earlier may be held through the event. (A Nov 2025 simplification grandfathers existing funded accounts onto the old rules.)
Gotcha: You can't even close or modify inside the ±5-minute window, so a manual exit there isn't possible.
Holding over the weekend and overnight is allowed across QT PRIME, POWER and INSTANT; a swap-free option is available. (One report suggests opening crypto positions over the weekend may be restricted — unverified.)
EAs are allowed with pre-approval (submitted to passes@qtfunded.com, with visible SL/TP); the live checkout lists EA usage as an add-on. Copy trading and account-management services are prohibited — all trades must be conducted by the account holder. HFT, tick scalping and latency/arbitrage are prohibited.
Gotcha: Using an EA requires pre-approval — running one without clearing it first risks a breach.
Prohibited: arbitrage, latency trading, HFT (incl. tick scalping), reverse/group hedging (coordinated across accounts), order-book spamming, one-sided betting, front-running price feeds, and 'all-or-nothing' trading — which explicitly includes using more than 75% of your daily drawdown limit on a single trade, trading without a stop-loss, or trading major news unprotected. A broad 'toxic trading' clause lets the Risk Department void accounts at discretion.
Gotcha: Committing more than 75% of your daily drawdown to one trade is a violation even if you don't breach — and the 'toxic' catch-all is subjective.
QT PRIME and POWER: 4 minimum trading days per phase (and on funded). QT INSTANT: 5. A funded payout reportedly also needs at least 2 profitable days of ≥0.5% each.
80% standard split, scalable to 90% (POWER / add-on / scaling), with a 100% advertised on the on-demand path when 35% consistency and ≥3% profit are met. Payouts are bi-weekly (every 14 days) by default for PRIME/INSTANT and on-demand for POWER. Minimum withdrawal $110 (and ≥1% profit or $100, whichever is greater); the first one or two payouts are reportedly capped at ~5% of balance or $5,000. KYC is required; the firm is not available to US traders and discloses no regulator.
Gotcha: Early payouts are capped around 5%, so you can't withdraw a big first win in one go.
