For Traders vs FundingPips — the honest comparison
FundingPips (Dubai, 2022) sells the cheapest credible entry in the industry ($29) and a genuine path to a 100% profit split. The catches sit in the terms: the split depends on how often you want paying (weekly pays just 60%), funded accounts carry a striking system and news-window profit deductions, and there are no futures. For Traders (Dubai, 2023) prices its 2-step $100K within dollars of theirs — and differs exactly where the fine print bites.

Pick your scenario
“I want a 2-step $100K challenge”
Classic $100K — $434 · 8% → 5% · daily −4% / max −8% · no minimum trading days · funded forex leverage stays per plan
2 Step Pro $100K — $422 · 8% → 5% · daily −5% / max −10% · min 3 days per phase · funded FX leverage drops to 1:50 · weekly split 80% on Pro
On price this is essentially a tie — dollars apart with identical targets. The divergence starts after you pass: their funded accounts add the striking system, news deductions and a leverage drop; ours keep the rules you bought. Decide on the funded terms, not the sticker.
“I want the full split without waiting”
Split is flat per plan (80/90/100 by product) and never depends on how often you withdraw — plus the 48-hour processing guarantee
The advertised 100% split exists — on the monthly cycle only. Want weekly payouts? Your split drops to 60%. On-demand pays 90% but requires a 35% consistency score
FundingPips makes you choose between speed and split; For Traders doesn't link the two. If you withdraw often, their weekly 60% is the real number to compare against our flat 80%.
“I trade futures or crypto”
Exchange-listed futures on For Traders X + 70+ crypto coins 24/7 with leverage up to 1:20
No futures products; crypto available as CFDs
Futures rule FundingPips out entirely, and serious crypto traders get more instruments, more hours and more leverage here.
“I don't want an evaluation at all”
Instant Funding from $69 up to $100K — weekend holding allowed, no news-breach rule
Zero model $5K–200K at a 95% bi-weekly split — but with a 15% consistency score, no weekend holding, and a ±10-minute news window that breaches the account
Their Zero pays a higher split at bigger sizes; ours lets you actually hold through weekends and news without risking the account. Match the product to how you trade.

For Traders vs FundingPips — FAQ
On challenge price they're nearly tied ($434 vs $422 for a 2-step $100K with identical targets). The difference is the funded experience: FundingPips ties your split to payout cadence (weekly = 60%), runs a striking system and deducts news-window profits; For Traders keeps a flat split, a 48-hour processing guarantee, futures and 24/7 crypto. FundingPips wins on the $29 entry, the monthly 100% cycle and the $2M Prime ceiling.
Yes — but only on the monthly payout cycle. Choose weekly payouts and the split is 60%; bi-weekly pays 80%; on-demand pays 90% and requires a 35% consistency score. For Traders splits are flat per plan and independent of how often you withdraw.
At the entry level, FundingPips ($29) beats everyone. At $100K 2-step they're essentially tied: $422 at FundingPips vs $434 at For Traders, with the same 8% → 5% targets. Pay After Pass ($9) remains the cheapest way to start a $100K-class account anywhere.
On funded accounts above $25K, exceeding a 1.2% floating loss on a trade idea triggers escalating strikes: a warning, then a halved split, then a 20% split, then a breach. Combined with the ±5-minute news deductions, it's the fine print reviewers most often say caught them off guard. For Traders has no striking system — limits are the same drawdown numbers you saw before buying.
