¿Puedes explicar el modelo de desafío utilizado por SFX Funded?

SFX Funded runs five distinct routes to a funded account, plus a deferred-payment variant. The rules differ materially between them — most importantly the drawdown model — so choose on the rulebook, not the price.

Rapid 1-Step

• Profit target: 3% (Phase 1 only)
• Daily loss: 3%, measured from the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 UTC
• Max loss: 4% trailing — always 4% below your highest recorded account value
• Minimum trading days: none in evaluation; 10 per payout once funded
• Time limit: none
• Stability Index cap: ≤15%; first payout available from 3 trading days; account review up to 48 business hours after passing
• Indicative pricing: $7.5k = $48, $15k = $60, $30k = $114, $60k = $174, $120k = $294

1-Step Pro

• Profit target: 9%
• Daily loss: none during the evaluation phase
• Max loss: 6% trailing
• Max floating loss: −1% of balance. First breach cuts your split by 40%; second breach closes the account permanently
• Minimum trading days: 4 qualifying days (non-consecutive)
• Funded payouts: after 7 trading days, no calendar-day wait; Stability Index ≤20%

Ascend 2-Step

• Phase 1: 8% target · Phase 2: 5% target
• Daily loss: 4%, calculated at 21:00 UTC off the higher of balance or equity
• Max loss: 8% static, measured from the initial account size — the only major SFX model that is not trailing
• Minimum trading days: 5 per phase · Time limit: none
• Funded: first payout after 5 trading days; Stability Index ≤25% (the most forgiving consistency gate at the firm)
• Indicative pricing: $7.5k = $79, $15k = $99, $30k = $189, $60k = $289, $120k = $489

Ignite 2-Step

• A second two-phase, no-time-limit evaluation route referenced throughout SFX's payout, Stability Index (≤20%) and 20% challenge profit-share documentation. At the time of writing SFX's public help centre no longer carries a standalone Ignite rules article, so confirm the live parameters in the dashboard before purchasing.

Instant Funding

• No evaluation, no profit target — funded from day one
• Daily loss: 3%, reset at 00:00 UTC · Max loss: 6% trailing
• Max floating loss: 2% (tightened to 1% on $300k and $400k accounts) — breaching it closes the account
• Minimum trading days: 10 per payout cycle
• Indicative pricing: $5k = $109, $10k = $149, $20k = $275, $40k = $413, $80k = $689, $150k = $949, $200k = $1,230, $250k = $1,520

Pass First, Pay Later (1-Step)

• $7 up front. The activation fee is only charged after you pass: $10k = $109, $25k = $229, $50k = $349, $100k = $579
• Evaluation: 3% target, 7% trailing max drawdown, no minimum trading days
• Funded: 3% daily, 6% trailing max, 2% max loss per trade, 5 trading days per payout
• First payout gate: KYC approved + 21 calendar days since first trade + 5 trading days + 2% minimum profit + Stability Index ≤20%
• Split starts at 80% and scales to 100%

Pricing note: SFX runs frequent discount campaigns and promo tiers (for example $5k Instant for $9, $80k Instant for $88), so the figures above are indicative of the standard grid rather than a locked price list. Confirm at checkout.

Trustpilot rating status

At the time of writing, Trustpilot has removed SFX Funded's star rating and placed a public warning on the profile after detecting fake reviews. The 145 individual reviews remain readable, but there is no aggregate score — so we publish a rating of 0 here rather than a number we cannot verify. We apply the same treatment to every firm whose rating is currently suppressed, and it is a statement about the missing score, not a scored judgement of the firm. Read the underlying reviews yourself before committing capital.

Who SFX Funded suits

Good fit: disciplined manual traders who spread profit across many sessions, want cheap entry and very fast payout cycles, and are chasing the path to a 100% split. The Ascend 2-Step in particular is the one program here with a static drawdown and the most forgiving consistency gate.

Poor fit: EA-driven traders (no third-party bots, source code must be handed over), copy traders, hedgers, news scalpers, and anyone who makes their target in one or two big sessions — the Stability Index and the trailing drawdown are specifically designed to fail that profile.
