What's FXIFY's Expected Value? A 1-Year Simulation of the 3 Two Phase Plans and One Phase Shows Classic and Pro Neck-and-Neck, Trailing Plans at Half [September 2026]
A 1-year Monte Carlo simulation of FXIFY's Two Phase (Classic / Standard / Pro) and One Phase, run under the official rules. Covers annual take-home at 0.5%/1%/1.5% risk per trade and 50-58% win rates, the fee refund, the trailing drawdown that locks at payout, and Pro's 10-day payout cycle.
Only Two Prop Firms Can Actually Run Grid/Trailing-Repeat EAs: "Not Banned" and "Usable" Are Different Things
If you want to run a grid or trailing-repeat ("trailing stop and repeat" / ใใฉใชใ) type EA on a prop account, checking only whether the ban list mentions it doesn't tell you anything. What actually kills the account is the "floating-loss cap" and whether drawdown is measured on equity or on balance. City Traders Imperium's 1-Step is the unique combination of balance-based DD, no daily DD, off-the-shelf EAs allowed, and grid explicitly permitted. Fintokei doesn't list grid among its 9 banned practices, but off-the-shelf EAs aren't allowed and a combined 3% cap across all open positions becomes the real limit on how many grid levels you can run. A comparison table across 10 firms, plus the formula for working backward from the floating-loss cap to figure out how many levels you can stack. Confirmed against each firm's official help center on September 16, 2026.
Hantec's 4 plans compared | Enhanced's max loss line rises to the starting balance once you withdraw. Which should you buy โ the 2-step or the 3-step Endurance?
A re-check of Hantec Trader's Express, Enhanced, EnhancedX, and Endurance against the official help center as of September 2026. On Enhanced and Express, the max loss line locks to the starting balance on your first payout; on EnhancedX and Endurance, it doesn't move even after a payout. Compared by price, an approximate pass rate, and how much cushion is left after a payout.

What's the Expected Value of Hola Prime? | A 1-Year Simulation of 1-Step Prime, 2-Step Prime, and 2-Step Pro Shows Monthly 95% Wins if You Have an Edge [September 2026]
A 1-year Monte Carlo simulation of Hola Prime's 1-Step Prime, 2-Step Prime, and 2-Step Pro ($100K), run strictly to the official rules. Covers annual take-home at 0.5%/1%/1.5% risk per trade and 50โ58% win rates, the full fee refund (25% per payout across the first 4 payouts), the static max loss, the trade-off of the monthly 95% split, the mandatory stop loss on funded accounts, and the 2%-per-trade-idea rule.
What's Lark Funding's Expected Value? A 1-Year Simulation of 1-Step, 3-Step, and Instant Puts 1-Step in First (September 2026)
A 1-year Monte Carlo simulation of Lark Funding's 1-Step, 3-Step, and Instant plans, run under the official rules. Covers annual take-home at 0.5%/1%/1.5% risk per trade and 50-58% win rates, the static 7% max loss, 3-Step's lack of a daily loss limit, Instant's trailing drawdown, and how the 'Lark Base' monthly reward is handled.

Is Moneta Funded's Instant account really worth it? Verifying the 88% split conditions, 5% trailing DD, and consistency rule against real checkout prices [September 2026]
A deep dive into Instant Funding at Moneta Funded, the prop firm founded by the Moneta Markets founder. $5K for $69 with an 88% split from day one is real, but the split is a 60/88 choice at checkout, the max drawdown became a 5% trailing rule in July 2026, there's a 15/20% consistency rule, news trading is banned, and the first payout takes 14 days โ the conditions add up. Covers the differences from Instant Pro and Phoenix, a comparison against the instant accounts at FundedNext, FundingPips and Lark, Trustpilot account-closure reports, notes for traders using it from Japan, and โ after applying the 50%-off `TOKONATSU50` code distributed by the Japan-based BD โ real sale prices to answer 'which one should I actually buy.'

We ran Moneta Funded's 2-Step (5%/10% and 4%/8%), 1-Step, Instant, and Instant Pro through a 1-year Monte Carlo simulation using the official rules. Covers annual take-home at 0.5%/1%/1.5% risk per trade and 50โ58% win rates, the refund of the fee on the 4th payout, Instant's 1% floating-loss rule, and how the max loss line locks to the initial balance once a payout is approved.
Prop Firms That Allow Averaging Down (Nanpin): What the Rules Actually Ban Isn't 'Buying the Dip' โ It's Increasing Lot Size
Averaging down (nanpin) and martingale are treated as completely different things under the rules. Funded7's Rule 4 explicitly bans 'increasing lot size from 1.0 โ 1.5 โ 2.0,' while explicitly allowing averaging down at the same or a reduced lot size. Fintokei lifted its martingale ban entirely in July 2025. Includes a quick-reference table of how 10 firms treat this, a formula for working backward from your floating-loss cap to the number of steps you can take, and why the room left right after the final step differs by 7.8x between averaging down and martingale even at the same 5 steps. Confirmed with each firm's official help center on September 16, 2026.
