Breakout calls itself a crypto-native prop trading platform. Its rules page describes an evaluation stage and a trading stage, and the firm offers a 1-step or a 2-step evaluation. The rules page says all trading account balances consist entirely of simulated capital.
Its evaluation agreement names the operator as Breakout Trading Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company doing business as "Breakout". A page on the firm's site says "Breakout has been acquired by Kraken" and describes Breakout as "backed by Kraken".
The firm's pages do not all agree on prices, the number of crypto assets, the trading platform, the daily loss limit on 1-step accounts or the swap fee. We point out each conflict below. We could not open the firm's pricing, symbols, FAQ or help-centre pages, so some details are missing from this review.
Everything in this review comes from Breakout Prop's own web pages, saved on 7–9 October 2026. Rules and prices change, so check the firm's site before you buy.
| Highest profit split | Up to 90% 1 Firm's wording: “Trade your live account and keep up to 90% of the gains.” |
|---|---|
| Account types | 1-Step evaluation, 2-Step evaluation 1 |
| Markets | Crypto 1 |
| Platforms | DXtrade, Breakout Terminal 12 |
| Allowed / offered on at least one account type |
Rules can differ between account types — check the linked page for the account you want. |
The rules page lists four evaluations: 1-Step (Classic), 1-Step (Pro), 1-Step (Turbo) and 2-Step. If you buy a 2-Step evaluation, you receive a new demo account for the second step. The Kraken page says traders can "get funded with up to $200,000 to trade crypto".
The evaluation fee is a one-time cost, according to the How it works and Kraken pages. The agreement says the firm charges the fees listed on its website at the time.
The home page lists evaluation fees of $55, $110, $275, $495 and $800. The How it works page shows five tables with two fees in each, from $50 to $999. They only partly match the home page: $110, $275 and $495 appear on both, but the home page shows $55 and $800 where the How it works page shows $60/$50 and $999/$749. Our copy of that page does not label the account size or the programme for each column, so we show the figures in the order the page lists them. Each table has one Step 2 goal.
| How it works page | Evaluation fee | Step 1 goal | Step 2 goal | Max. drawdown |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Table 1 | $60 / $50 | $500 / $250 | $500 | $300 / $400 |
| Table 2 | $110 / $100 | $1,000 / $500 | $1,000 | $600 / $800 |
| Table 3 | $275 / $250 | $2,500 / $1,250 | $2,500 | $1,500 / $2,000 |
| Table 4 | $495 / $450 | $5,000 / $2,500 | $5,000 | $3,000 / $4,000 |
| Table 5 | $999 / $749 | $10,000 / $5,000 | $10,000 | $6,000 / $8,000 |
The rules page sets these equity limits for each evaluation:
| Programme | Max. daily loss | Max. drawdown | Drawdown type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-Step Classic | 4% | 6% | Static (from starting balance) |
| 1-Step Pro | 3% | 5% | Static (from starting balance) |
| 1-Step Turbo | 3% | 3% | Static (from starting balance) |
| 2-Step | 5% | 8% | Trailing |
The daily loss limit is a percentage of the balance at 00:30 UTC, recalculated every day; the rules page says it is not a static dollar amount. On the 1-Step Classic, the rules page says the maximum drawdown is 6% below the starting balance and does not move up or down. On the 2-Step, the drawdown limit does not trail down from trading losses and will not trail past the starting balance. The evaluation agreement also describes a drawdown measured "from the Highest Demo Account Balance"; our copy does not show which programme this applies to.
The pages disagree on the daily loss limit. The How it works and Kraken pages show a maximum daily loss of "3% 5%", and the evaluation agreement gives 4% for 1-Step and 5% for 2-Step. We used the rules page because it gives a figure for each 1-step type.
The rules page says that if the account is breached, all positions are closed automatically and the account is permanently disabled. It also refers to equity, including open positions, reaching or exceeding the maximum daily loss limit. The How it works page says that if you breach the drawdown rules, the account is closed and you would need to start a new test.
The rules page says there are no minimum or maximum time limits for any evaluation, and you can pass as soon as you meet the goal. The Kraken page says the 1-Step evaluation has no minimum trading days. After you pass, the account upgrades automatically to a funded account. The funded account has no profit target and follows the same drawdown rules as the evaluation.
Leverage is 5x on BTC and ETH and 2x on all other instruments; it is applied automatically and cannot be changed. You can hold only one Breakout Evaluation at a time. You must be 18 or older to use the firm's services.
These points come from the rules page and apply to all evaluations unless stated.
The rules page also lists these practices, most of which the evaluation agreement also restricts: using any third-party or off-the-shelf strategy, or one marketed to pass evaluations; exploiting errors or latency in pricing or platforms; front-running trades placed elsewhere; strategies that are difficult to replicate in the live market; using one strategy to pass and a different one in the simulated account; trading more than one evaluation at the same time; and account sharing of any kind.
The default payout split is 80/20 in the trader's favour. A 90/10 split is available as an add-on, but only when you buy the account; it cannot be added later. The How it works page says you keep 80% of profits by default, with an option to upgrade to 90% when choosing your test. The firm says there is no profit cap.
One copy of the home page says traders keep "up to 95% of the gains"; another copy says "up to 90%". We used the 80% and 90% figures from the rules page, which sets out the add-on.
You cannot receive payouts during the evaluation. Once funded and in profit, you can request payouts on demand, 24/7, in USDC through the Breakout Dashboard, and as many as you like every day of the week. The firm says withdrawals are usually processed within 24 hours.
The Kraken page mentions scaling "with more trading capital". We did not find the terms of a scaling plan on the pages we saved.
Refunds: the rules page says there are no refunds except for one evaluation if KYC is rejected; that full refund applies to one evaluation only. The Kraken page says evaluation fees are non-refundable for each attempt once trading begins, regardless of outcome.
The rules page gives a trading fee of 0.035% per side and a swap fee of 0.05% per open position per day. The evaluation agreement also gives a 0.035% trading fee, but a daily swap fee of 0.09% per open swap position. We cannot tell from the pages which swap figure is current.
Trading hours are 24/7 for all instruments.
The pages name different platforms. The home page says trades are executed through the Breakout Terminal, a custom-built web and mobile app, and mentions advanced order types, one-click trading and built-in risk management. The rules page says "Trading is available via DXtrade." The evaluation agreement refers to simulated trading tools in the Evaluation Dashboard, and the How it works page says Breakout offers a similar interface and liquidity to Kraken Pro.
The pages also differ on the number of markets: the home page says 100+ crypto assets, the How it works and Kraken pages say 58+ crypto pairs, and another copy of the home page says 70+ crypto assets. The rules page says the firm sources liquidity from third-party brokers. The agreement says the maximum open position size for each asset is shown in the Evaluation Dashboard.
The evaluation agreement names the operator as Breakout Trading Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. It says the company is not registered with nor regulated by the Securities & Exchange Commission. The Kraken page says Breakout has been acquired by Kraken. The Kraken page also names Payward Oceanic Ltd. ("POL"); our copy does not show in what role.
The rules page says all trading account balances are simulated capital and that evaluation trading takes place in a live environment with simulated capital. The agreement says the capital in the demo account has no economic value. The rules page also says the firm does not hold or trade user funds. Marketing pages use other wording, such as "your live account" on the home page and an account "funded by Breakout" on the How it works page.
The firm does not offer its services to traders from or in a list of jurisdictions that begins with Afghanistan, Belarus, Burma (Myanmar), Central African Republic, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Ethiopia, and also excludes the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. Our copies show only the start of the list, so check the full list on the rules page.
Breakout may suit traders who want to trade crypto, with no time limit on the evaluation, and who want to hold positions through news and weekends. Payouts are in USDC, so a crypto wallet is needed. It suits traders less well if they want to run several evaluations at once or take partial profits on a position, since neither is allowed.
MyPropGenius Rating:
The rating measures how openly Breakout Prop discloses its rules, pricing, payouts and ownership (our Transparency Index methodology). It does not measure how likely you are to pass or be paid.
The Evaluation Agreement names the entity and jurisdiction (a Delaware LLC) and says it is not registered with or regulated by the SEC, and the Program Rules say all account balances are simulated. Its Program Rules say there are no refunds except one evaluation on KYC rejection, while its Kraken page says fees are non-refundable 'once trading begins'. The homepage promises 'radical transparency' with data on payouts, but we found no payout records, dates, certificates or totals on the pages we read; its site showed a security-check page instead of content when we checked on 10 Oct 2026.
Its Transparency Index score is 54/100 (Mixed); the score is provisional, based on limited public information. We do not verify payouts or test accounts; this is what the firm’s own pages show.
Check the current rules and prices on the firm's own website before you buy.
We have no commercial relationship with Breakout Prop. Links to its website are not affiliate links.
Breakout sells 1-step and 2-step crypto evaluations with no time limits, and its rules allow news trading and weekend holding. The default split is 80%, with 90% as an add-on at purchase, and funded traders can request USDC payouts on demand. Because its pages disagree on several figures, check the current rules page and checkout before paying.
