SwissFirmup Review 2026

SwissFirmup (the site also uses the name Firmup) sells evaluations for futures trading. Its rules page describes Firmup as "an evaluation program specialized in futures trading". The homepage describes the firm as a "Swiss futures prop firm built for serious US traders". Accounts come in four sizes: $50,000, $100,000, $200,000 and $300,000.

There are two ways to buy. Classic is the evaluation on its own; you then pay a $99 one-time fee to activate the funded account. Pack Pro bundles the evaluation and the funded activation into one payment. The evaluation lasts up to 30 days, uses an end-of-day drawdown, has no daily loss limit and applies a 50% consistency rule.

The firm says its programmes are based exclusively on simulated accounts and that no trade is executed on a real market. Its pages name Arcadia Sàrl in Sion, Switzerland, as the operator. Our copies of the firm's pages are short excerpts, and we could not capture several of its pages (including the challenge, algo account, about and legal-notice pages), so this review is shorter than usual.

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

SwissFirmup offers four account sizes: $50,000, $100,000, $200,000 and $300,000. It sells them in two forms.

• Classic — the homepage calls it "the evaluation" and says it has "The lowest cost of entry". You pay the evaluation fee and, once you pass, a $99 one-time fee to activate the funded account.
• Pack Pro — the homepage calls it "all inclusive": "the evaluation and the funded activation are bundled together". The FAQ says the bundle is designed for traders with some experience.

The rules page lists evaluation fees of $49, $99, $151 and $201, and a one-time activation fee of $99 in each of its four columns. Our copy of that page does not show which account size each fee belongs to, so we do not pair them with sizes. The FAQ says fees depend on the account size, starting at $49. On Classic, the $49 entry fee is only the first payment: the $99 activation is due once you pass, before the funded account opens.

The homepage also shows four further prices, each with a lower Restart price: $119 (Restart $89), $159 (Restart $119), $199 (Restart $149) and $249 (Restart $199). It also mentions "Preferential pricing on the bundle". Our copy does not make clear which programme or account size each of these prices belongs to, so we have not assigned them.

The homepage says payment is one-time only, and the FAQ says "No recurring subscription is charged!" No deposit is required. If you fail, the FAQ says you can retake the evaluation or buy a discounted Restart at any time, and that resets are manual, via a one-time payment.

The general terms say payment is due at the time of purchase, by credit card, electronic payment or other means the firm offers. They also say extra fees may apply for restarting an evaluation, moving to a live account and account-merge requests, and that these fees are shown on the website or the dashboard at the time of subscription.

The same core rules appear on the homepage, rules page and FAQ. The firm's figures are:

• Profit targets: $3,000, $5,000, $7,000 and $9,000.
• End-of-day drawdown: $2,000, $2,500, $3,000 and $3,500. The rules page shows two end-of-day drawdown rows with the same figures.
• Daily loss limit: none.
• Max Mini size (rules page): 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Our copy of the rules page shows these rows in four columns without size labels, and the firm's wording in our copy does not tie each figure to an account size, so we list the figures without pairing them with the four account sizes.

Time limit

The evaluation must be passed within 30 days. The FAQ specifies "a maximum of 30 calendar days". The rules page says the evaluation requires meeting the targets, the end-of-day drawdown and the consistency rule.

Drawdown

There is no daily loss limit. The homepage says the drawdown is recalculated at the close on your realised profits and stays fixed for the whole next session. The FAQ says the end-of-day drawdown trails your performance until it reaches your account ceiling. If your balance reaches or falls below the drawdown level, the FAQ says the account is liquidated. The rules page says the drawdown must be respected at all times.

Consistency

The consistency rule is 50% and applies to evaluation accounts only. The two pages describe its basis differently: the rules page sets it at 50% of the initial target, while the FAQ says your best profit day cannot represent more than 50% of your total profit at validation. The FAQ's example gives "profit target $3,000, allowed consistency $1,500 maximum in a single day".

Positions and contracts

The rules page says overnight positions are not allowed. The FAQ says that on intraday accounts all positions must be closed no later than 5 minutes before the end of the session.

• News trading: allowed. The homepage says "Yes, without restriction" to trading economic releases. The FAQ adds a warning that these periods can bring significant volatility and increased risk.
• Hedging: the FAQ says hedging, meaning holding opposite positions at the same time on one or several accounts, is prohibited.
• Overnight holding: the rules page says overnight positions are not allowed, as above.
• EAs and bots: the homepage says "Firmup is exploring an account dedicated to EAs, bots and automated strategies." We could not capture the firm's algo account page. The general terms also contain the words "the use of circumvention techniques, robots, scripts or automated tools"; our copy shows only this excerpt, not the full clause, so check the terms before using any automated tool.
• Number of accounts: the rules page allows unlimited simultaneous evaluations and a maximum of 5 simultaneous Firmup accounts. The homepage says you can trade up to 5 funded accounts.

On a funded account, profits are split 90/10, with 90% going to the trader from the first payout. We saw no higher split.

• Eligibility: the first payout comes after 5 distinct profitable days during the payout cycle. The FAQ says the counter resets to zero after each approved payout and must be reached again.
• Frequency: withdrawals can be requested every business day.
• Minimum and maximum: the minimum withdrawal is $200. The rules page shows a maximum withdrawal of 50%, up to $2,000. It also lists "Min. profit $150"; our copy does not show what this figure applies to.
• Method and timing: payouts are paid via RISE within 1 to 8 business days. One FAQ answer says payouts are made in USD through RISE.

The FAQ describes the 50% cap in two ways. One answer says each request can be up to 50% of the account balance; another says you can request a withdrawal corresponding to 50% of your available profits. We have reported the cap as "50%" and give both wordings here.

The rules page also says a trader may request the closure of their funded account at any time.

Markets

SwissFirmup is futures only; the homepage says "No CFDs". The listed exchanges are CME, COMEX, NYMEX and CBOT. The Level 2 page names contracts including S&P 500 (ES), Nasdaq 100 (NQ), Russell 2000 (RTY), Dow Jones (YM), US 10Y T-Note (ZN), US 30Y T-Bond (ZB), Gold (GC), Silver (SI), Copper (HG), WTI Crude Oil (CL), Brent Crude Oil (BZ) and Natural Gas (NG).

Platforms

The platform page says Firmup works with every dxFeed platform. The pages name ATAS, Volfix, Quantower and Deepchart. The homepage says a free TradingView connection is included with your account, so you can trade from your Firmup dashboard. The FAQ says TradingView, Volumetrica and Deepchart are free, directly from your dashboard. The platform page says a DeepCharts Prop Firm account, powered by Volumetrica Trading, is included, with access through the Firmup Web Terminal.

ATAS is free for 31 days with your first account; the platform page says you must create your ATAS account through the firm's official partner link to get this offer. The rules page says commissions depend on the broker and the platform used.

Market data

Level 1 (best bid/ask) is included on every account. Level 2 market depth is an option with monthly fees per data feed; the Non-Pro all-exchanges feed is listed at $36.15 a month. Fees are billed by calendar month, and a subscription ends on the last day of the current month whatever day it started. To activate Level 2, the page says to contact the firm by email or check your dashboard.

• Operator: the footer names "Arcadia Sàrl · Av. des Mayennets 5, 1950 Sion (VS), Suisse · UID CHE-433.761.958". The FAQ says Arcadia Sàrl is registered in the Swiss commercial register. The general terms name Arcadia Sàrl as operator of swissfirmup.com.
• Simulated accounts: the firm says its programmes are based exclusively on simulated accounts designed to evaluate trading skills, and that no trade is executed on a real market and no real capital is at risk. The general terms say passing an evaluation in no way guarantees the opening of a live account.
• Status: the general terms say "Swiss Firmup is not a financial services provider within the meaning of the applicable legislation." They also say it executes no orders and holds no trading funds.
• Refunds: the general terms say all payments are firm, final and non-refundable, with no right of withdrawal or cancellation after access is activated.
• Eligibility: you must be at least 18. A KYC check is carried out. The terms say access may be limited or prohibited for residents of certain countries; we did not see a published list of countries.
• Language: the pages say legal documents are available in French, which is the binding version.

SwissFirmup suits futures day traders who want an end-of-day drawdown with no daily loss limit, one-time fees and a 90% split from the first payout. It is less suited to traders who hold positions overnight (the rules page says overnight positions are not allowed), who need more than 30 days to pass, or who rely on hedging. Traders who use full market depth should allow for the monthly Level 2 data fee, and Classic buyers should budget for the $99 activation fee.
