Overview

FundedCore sells three prop trading programmes, each for a one-time fee: a one-step challenge called PRO, a two-step challenge called PRO 2.0, and Instant Funding Lite, which skips the evaluation. Its pages advertise funded accounts up to $100K and a profit split of up to 90%.

The firm says its accounts are simulated: "FundedCore provides simulated trading evaluations and educational services" and "Funded accounts are notionally funded." Traders pick one of three platforms at checkout; the rulebook names Match-Trader and DXtrade.

This review is based on the firm's homepage, rulebook, terms, about, compare and contact pages. We could read these pages only through a text-extraction tool, so we saw selected passages rather than complete pages. Where the text we could read did not tie a figure to a programme, we give the figure without the programme or leave it out. Where a detail is missing below, it is because we could not see it.

Everything in this review comes from FundedCore's own web pages, saved on 10 October 2026. Rules and prices change, so check the firm's site before you buy.

Key Highlights

✅ Pros

  • One-time fees from $35, with no monthly fees or recurring costs.
  • No time limit on any evaluation.
  • Static maximum drawdown on PRO and PRO 2.0, set as a fixed percentage of the starting balance.
  • Weekend holding is allowed on all accounts, EAs are allowed with conditions, and copy trading between your own accounts is allowed.
  • A choice of three platforms at checkout, including Match-Trader and DXtrade, with the same conditions on each.

❌ Cons

  • The base profit split is 80%; on PRO and PRO 2.0, 90% needs a paid add-on.

  • No new positions within 3 minutes before or after a news event.
  • Instant Funding Lite has a trailing drawdown and a 25% consistency rule.

Programmes and Prices

All three programmes are paid for once. The rulebook says: "Every challenge is a single one-time payment. There are no monthly fees and no recurring costs." Prices are in US dollars.

The rulebook gives the price range: "from $35 for a $5,000 PRO 2.0 challenge up to $787.50 for a $100,000 PRO challenge." The homepage shows prices for account sizes up to $100K, each next to a higher crossed-out price, so current prices may be promotional.

Paid add-ons are offered on PRO and PRO 2.0. The homepage says "add-ons +15% each (PRO and PRO 2.0)". The rulebook names two of them: a 90% profit split add-on and a no-minimum-days add-on.

The terms say: "All evaluation fees are one-time and non-refundable unless otherwise required by applicable law." The firm also says charges appear on statements as Dashboardanalytix.com.

Trading Rules by Programme

The firm's pages set out these rules per programme:

RulePROPRO 2.0Instant Funding Lite
Profit target10%8% (Phase 1) / 5% (Phase 2)No evaluation
Maximum drawdown6% static8% static5% trailing, then locks
Minimum trading days44Not stated on the pages we saw (no evaluation)
Consistency ruleNot stated on the pages we sawNot stated on the pages we sawHighest single-day profit no more than 25% of total profit
Time limitUnlimitedUnlimitedNo evaluation

The homepage and rulebook show daily loss limits of 5% and 3%; the text we could read did not say which programme each applies to.

Daily loss and drawdown

The daily loss limit resets at 5:00 PM EST. The homepage says it resets "on the higher of prior-day closing balance or equity."

On PRO and PRO 2.0 the maximum drawdown is a fixed percentage of the starting balance and does not trail profits. On Instant Funding Lite the rulebook says: "Maximum drawdown: 5%, trailing until it reaches the starting balance, then it locks."

Trading days, time limits and inactivity

A day counts towards the minimum only if you "Open and close at least one trade in a day". Four such days are required on PRO and PRO 2.0 unless you buy the no-minimum-days add-on. There is no time limit: "Every FundedCore evaluation has an unlimited trading period." The rulebook also says: "If no trading activity occurs for 30 consecutive days, the account is breached."

Hard and soft breaches

A hard breach is a violation of the daily loss limit, the maximum drawdown or the inactivity rule; on the homepage, "the evaluation is failed." The terms say such violations "will result in evaluation failure or revocation of the funded account." On a soft breach, "the offending trades are closed, and you continue trading your evaluation or funded account."

Restrictions and Prohibited Strategies

  • News: "Opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a news event is prohibited." The rulebook adds that if price touches your stop loss or take profit during a news event, that also counts as an infraction.
  • EAs and bots: allowed "provided they use genuine market execution, do not exploit latency". The rulebook warns: "A prohibited automated strategy may result in account termination."
  • Copy trading: "Copy trading is allowed only between accounts owned by the same trader." Group trading, signal services and shared strategies are not allowed.
  • Weekend holding: "Holding positions over the weekend is allowed on all accounts."
  • Other prohibited practices: the rulebook lists exploiting pricing errors or latency, using non-public or insider information, front-running, arbitrage between FundedCore accounts or third parties, trading in restricted news windows, and "gambling behaviour such as maximum-leverage all-in positions." The homepage says such positions "taken to hit a target are forbidden, pass or fail."

Payouts and Scaling

Profit split

The rulebook says: "The base split is 80%, and the 90% split add-on can be purchased with PRO and PRO 2.0 challenges". The split is "applied at withdrawal", and the homepage says "The company share is withdrawn alongside yours."

Timing

Traders can "Request a withdrawal every 14 days from the trader dashboard", and the rulebook says "Processing takes 24–48 hours." The homepage gives first-payout conditions of "After 14 days funded" and "After 14 days + 3% buffer"; the text we could read did not say which programme each applies to.

The terms say FundedCore "may require you to complete identity verification (KYC) and anti-money-laundering (AML) checks" before processing payouts.

Payout record (the firm's claim)

The rulebook says: "More than forty payouts have been processed since launch and none has been denied." The firm's pages also state: "Past payouts are not a guarantee of future results."

Growing an account

The rulebook says: "Accounts can be combined or run consecutively, and there is no limit to growth by compounding." The same page sets a "Maximum $1M in active evaluations and $1M in active funded accounts."

Platforms and Markets

The homepage says: "Pick your platform at checkout. Conditions are identical across all three." The rulebook names two of them: "Match-Trader (web and mobile app) and DXtrade (web-based, no download)." The homepage also describes a platform offering "Desktop, web and mobile with advanced charting and depth of market." The text we could read did not give the third platform's name in the page's own wording.

The homepage lists forex, indices, metals, oil and crypto. The rulebook says: "Forex pairs, CFD indices, commodities, metals and cryptocurrencies, as listed on your trading platform."

MarketLeverage (rulebook)
Forex and metalsUp to 50:1
IndicesUp to 10:1
OilUp to 5:1
CryptocurrenciesUp to 2:1

The rulebook also says: "Instant Funding Lite accounts run at 1:50."

Company and Terms

The firm's pages state: "FundedCore provides simulated trading evaluations and educational services" and "Funded accounts are notionally funded." The terms add: "Nothing on this website constitutes investment advice, a solicitation to trade, or an offer of employment."

The about page says: "FundedCore is a London-based proprietary trading firm founded in 2025." The contact page lists a "Registered office" at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ. The pages we saw refer to the business as FundedCore and did not show a company name or number beyond that.

The terms say: "The complete rulebook is published on the Rulebook page and forms part of these terms."

On countries, the rulebook says: "All countries except those on OFAC sanction lists, subject to legal and compliance requirements." We did not see a statement about US residents.

Who It Suits

The rulebook says PRO 2.0 "has the lowest entry price and the lowest per-phase targets", with targets of 8% and 5% across two phases. PRO has one phase with a 10% target and a 6% static drawdown. Both have a 4-day minimum and no time limit.

Instant Funding Lite skips the evaluation, but has a 5% trailing drawdown and a 25% consistency rule.

Traders who trade around news releases should note the 3-minute window on each side of a news event. Traders who want 90% on PRO or PRO 2.0 need to buy the add-on.
