Compare challenges from every firm by account size

Overview

Klein Funding sells trading evaluations that run on two platforms, Bybit and Cleo. Its website says all accounts are demo accounts in a simulated environment with virtual funds. The home page footer names KUENTECH LLC, with an address in Newark, Delaware, United States.

The home page shows One Step and Flex plans on Cleo, One Step and Two Step plans on Bybit, and an Instant Pro account that the plan selector says needs "No challenge", although an FAQ answer calls it a "single-phase" challenge and its rules require 3 trading days with at least 0.5% profit. Prices on the plan cards start at $35.63 for a $5,000 Flex account. The plan cards show a 70% profit split, while other parts of the site say up to 90% or up to 100%.

Much of the site was blocked to our browser, including the full FAQ, refund policy, terms and individual rule pages. This review is based mainly on the home page, with short extracts from the How It Works, Trading Platforms and Tick Scalping pages. Several figures on the site do not agree with each other; we point these out below.

Everything in this review comes from Klein Funding's own web pages, saved on 7–9 October 2026. Rules and prices change, so check the firm's site before you buy.

Key highlights

Pros

  • Low card prices, from $35.63 for a $5,000 Flex account.
  • Cleo plans show no minimum trading days and no stability rule.
  • Cleo's reward schedule is daily, and the home page promises rewards "daily in 12 hours".
  • The footer clearly discloses that all accounts are simulated demo accounts and that the company is not a licensed investment service provider.
  • Instant Pro needs no profit target and is eligible for scaling up to $2M.

Cons

  • Profit split figures conflict: 70% on the cards, 60–90% in the rules, and up to 100% elsewhere.
  • Bybit plans use a stability score (30% or 45%), and the rules section gives 3–4 minimum days on Bybit while the cards show 0.
  • Flex uses a 3% fixed trailing drawdown.
  • Cleo leverage is 1:5 on BTC and ETH and 1:2 on other assets.
  • Restricted-country statements conflict between pages.
  • The $5,000 Cleo card shows $66.00 next to $52.25, so card prices may be offer prices.

Programmes and prices

The home page lets you choose a platform and then a plan. For each account size it shows a card with the price, profit split, drawdown type, drawdown limits and profit target. The table below gives the settings on those cards.

All cards we saw showed a 70% profit split. The home page also says you can "Choose drawdowns from 6% to 10% and reward share up to 90%", so the cards appear to show one configuration. We did not see prices for other configurations.

$100,000$769.50$522.50$902.50$831.25–

A dash means the home page did not show that size for the plan. Next to the $5,000 Cleo card the page showed "$66.00" as well as "$52.25", so the card prices may be reduced offer prices rather than list prices. We could not see whether the fee is charged once or repeatedly.

The site gives different maximum account sizes. The home page says "Up to $300,000 in virtual funding". Another section says a funded account comes "with up to $200,000 in capital", and an FAQ answer lists sizes from $5,000 to $200,000. The plan cards we saw ran from $1,250 (Instant Pro) to $100,000.

An FAQ answer says payment is by "credit card gateways and cryptocurrency transactions".

Trading rules by platform

The home page has a trading rules section with a tab for each of Bybit, Cleo and Instant Pro. It gives ranges, because drawdown and split depend on the configuration you choose.

Bybit (One Step and Two Step)

  • Profit target: "One Step: 6-10% target. Two Step: 6-10% per phase." The Two Step cards show 6% for phase 1 and 3% for phase 2, so the cards and this text do not match for phase 2.
  • Maximum drawdown: 6–10%, "Static drawdown calculated from initial balance".
  • Daily drawdown: "always half of your selected maximum drawdown".
  • Minimum trading days: the rules section says 3–4 days "Due to Stability Rule", while the Bybit plan cards show 0.
  • Stability score: 30% for one phase and 45% for two phases. The page refers to its FAQ for an explanation, which we could not open.
  • Leverage: up to 1:100, which the page calls the maximum on all crypto assets.

Cleo (One Step and Flex)

  • Profit target: "One Step: 10-14% target.Flex: 9% target." The cards show 10% for One Step and 9% for Flex.
  • Maximum drawdown: 3–8%. The rules text calls it "Static drawdown calculated from initial balance", but the Flex cards give the drawdown type as "Fixed Trailing".
  • Daily drawdown: 3–4%, varying by plan and configuration.
  • No minimum trading days and no stability rule.
  • Leverage: 1:5 on BTC and ETH, 1:2 on all other assets.

Instant Pro

  • No profit target is required.
  • Maximum drawdown: 6–8%, described as "Smart or trailing. See FAQ for details." The cards show a 6% "Smart" drawdown. We could not see how the Smart drawdown is calculated.
  • Daily drawdown: half of the maximum drawdown.
  • Minimum trading days: 3 days, "With minimum 0.5% profit".
  • Leverage: 1:100. No stability rule.

Restrictions and prohibited strategies

The home page lists six "General Rules": Hedging Between Accounts, Tick Scalping, Spamming the Order Book, Group Trading, Bot Trading, and 50 Seconds Rule (Bybit Only). Most of these rule pages were blocked to our browser, so we cannot tell you what each rule says. That includes whether bots are allowed and what the 50-second rule requires on Bybit.

From the Tick Scalping page we could read two lines. It describes tick scalping as "Opening and closing positions within milliseconds to capture single tick movements", and it says "Normal scalping strategies with proper market analysis are permitted."

We could not check the firm's rules on news trading, holding trades over the weekend, copy trading or evaluation time limits from the pages we saved.

Payouts and scaling

Profit split

The site states the profit split in several ways. The plan cards show 70%. The trading rules section says 60–90% for Bybit and Cleo and 70–90% for Instant Pro, with "Higher splits available with higher plans." Another section says "Keep up to 90% of the profits you generate." The home page banner says "Up to 100% reward split", an FAQ answer says a trader can withdraw "up to 100% of the profits earned", and the How It Works page says "Earn up to 100% of your simulated profits." We could not see what conditions would give a split above 90%, so we treat 70% as the split shown on the cards and up to 90% as the configurable range.

Reward timing

  • Cleo: the reward schedule is daily ("Withdraw your profits every day.").
  • Bybit: the rules section gives a reward schedule of 3–4 days, "Due to Stability Rule", although the Bybit plan cards show rewards as "On Demand".
  • Instant Pro: "You can withdraw minimum 4% profit".

Under the heading "Daily rewards" the home page says "Get your rewards daily in 12 hours.", labelled "Promised". The How It Works page also shows the line "Wait 4–12 Hours"; we could not see its full context. After passing an evaluation, the site says you "advance to a Master account and start getting rewards for simulated trading."

Scaling

Only the Instant Pro cards list scaling: "Eligible for scaling plan. Grow your account balance up to $2M based on performance." The Cleo One Step, Flex and Bybit cards show "Scaling No". FAQ answers also mention scaling without naming a plan ("Traders who consistently perform well may also qualify for account scaling"). We could not see the scaling conditions.

Platforms and markets

Klein Funding offers two platforms. Its platform comparison on the home page sets them out as follows.

FeatureBybitCleo
Data feedBybitBinance
Crypto assets+750+550
LeverageUp to 1:100Up to 1:5
Profit target6%–10%9%–14%
Reward schedule3–4 days (stability rule)Daily

The Trading Platforms page mentions "access to 750+ crypto trading pairs including perpetual futures and spot markets", and the How It Works page says "With Bybit, you can trade 750+ crypto pairs." The home page says both platforms support mobile trading via a mobile app.

The plans and the platform comparison describe crypto assets. Other text on the home page says "Trade forex, crypto, and indices on leading platforms", and an FAQ answer mentions platforms "that support forex, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies". We did not see a list of non-crypto instruments.

Company and terms

  • Operator: the home page footer says "Trading platforms for simulated trading are provided by KUENTECH LLC", at 131 Continental Dr, Suite 305, Newark, DE 19713, United States. The same footer also says educational products and payment processing are provided by KUENTECH LLC "located at United Kingdom".
  • Simulated accounts: the footer says the firm "does not accept customer deposits" and that all trading accounts are demo accounts with virtual funds.
  • Regulation: the footer says "The Company is not a licensed investment service provider under MiFID II and does not operate as a securities broker-dealer." An FAQ answer says prop firms are "generally not subject to the same regulatory frameworks as traditional financial institutions".
  • Founding: the home page says "2024 established".
  • Eligibility: an FAQ answer says you must be at least 18 (or the age of majority in your country) and complete identity verification with a government-issued ID before receiving a funded account.
  • Restricted countries: the pages disagree. A home page FAQ answer says "certain countries and regions are restricted" and refers to the Terms of Use. The How It Works page says "We don't have any restricted countries, you can use Bybit with us even if your country is restricted by Bybit." We could not open the Terms of Use to see a list.
  • Refunds: one FAQ answer mentions "a refundable fee option upon successful completion". We could not open the refund policy to see the conditions.

Who it suits

Klein Funding may suit traders who want to trade crypto on a simulated account and are happy to choose between two set-ups. The Bybit plans offer up to 1:100 leverage and a 6% profit target on One Step, but use a stability score. The Cleo plans have lower leverage (1:5 on BTC and ETH, 1:2 on others) but no stability rule, no minimum trading days and a daily reward schedule. Flex has the lowest card prices, with a 3% fixed trailing drawdown.

Traders who want clear written rules before buying should note that the site's figures for profit split, maximum account size, Bybit minimum days and restricted countries conflict, and that we could not read the detailed rule pages.

MyPropGenius Rating

MyPropGenius Rating: 2.3/5 — its Transparency Index score of 46/100 ÷ 20, rounded down (provisional: scored from limited public information; not yet verified)

The rating measures how openly Klein Funding discloses its rules, pricing, payouts and ownership (our Transparency Index methodology). It does not measure how likely you are to pass or be paid.

Is Klein Funding legit?

The footer names KUENTECH LLC with a Delaware address and says all accounts are demo accounts with virtual funds and the firm is not a licensed investment service provider. A Refund Policy page is linked in the footer but refused access when we tried to read it on 7 and 10 Oct 2026. The homepage shows undated first-name payout amounts, 'rewards earned' testimonials and a '$3.2M+ Paid to traders' total. We date its history from 2024, the year 'established' on its homepage, which is later than the earliest Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) copy of the domain (21 Mar 2023): under 3 years.

Its Transparency Index score is 46/100 (Mixed); the score is provisional, based on limited public information. This review describes what the firm publishes; we do not verify payouts or test accounts.

Our verdict

Klein Funding sells simulated crypto evaluations on Bybit and Cleo, with low card prices and Cleo plans that have no minimum trading days or stability rule. Its website gives conflicting figures for profit split, maximum account size, Bybit minimum days and restricted countries, and we could not read its detailed rule pages. Read the full rules and terms on the firm's site before buying.
