    Pros & Considerations

    Strengths

    • Competitive profit splits up to 92.75% — among the highest in the industry
    • Fast payouts, often within 24 hours or minutes, with $56M+ total payouts processed since June 2022
    • No time limits on challenges, reducing pressure compared to deadline-based firms
    • Multiple challenge options: 1-Step, 2-Step, and 3-Step evaluations with sizes from $5K to $300K
    • Diverse tradable instruments: 175+ across forex, indices, commodities, energies, and crypto including weekend trading
    • Excellent customer support — consistently highest-rated aspect in reviews
    • Large active community: Discord 125K+ members, 154K X/Twitter followers, 59K Instagram
    • Structured scaling plan to $1M with 25% balance increases and no stricter rules at higher levels

    Considerations

    • Abrupt shutdown of prop trading operations in February 2026, leaving traders scrambling for refunds
    • Frequent rule changes including controversial consistency rule reversed within two weeks after backlash
    • Conservative leverage capped at 1:30 forex (lower than competitors at 1:50)
    • Multiple rebrandings (MyFundedFX → SeacrestFunded → Seacrest Markets) caused confusion and US client restriction
    • Platform instability and forced migrations from MT4/MT5 to DXTrade and MatchTrader
    • Limited payment/withdrawal methods — primarily crypto (USDT TRC20) or Riseworks only
    • Trustpilot rating suspended for fake reviews and guideline breach
    • Unregulated as a prop firm — only the brokerage held a South Africa license
