Finotive Funding Review 2026

Finotive Funding is a trading name of Finotive Funding Technologies Limited, company number 11088, registered in the Dubai International Financial Centre with its registered office at Innovation One Building, Level 2, DIFC, Dubai. The home page places the company inside the Finotive One group and states that it has paid traders since its inception in 2021. The Terms describe every account as a demo, simulated, notional and non-executable account, and a reward as a contractual payment calculated from simulated profits. Traders must be at least 18 years old. The Terms prevail over help-center articles and marketing pages, so this page follows the Terms, with figures from the official pages checked on 2026-09-30.

The Challenge family has a 1-Step and a 2-Step evaluation in seven sizes from $2,500 to $200,000. The 1-Step asks for a 10% profit target and 3 Minimum Profitable Days under a 7.5% maximum drawdown and a 4% daily limit. The 2-Step uses a 7.5% target in phase 1 and 5% in phase 2, 2 Minimum Profitable Days per phase, a 9% maximum drawdown and a 4.5% daily limit. Both run at 1:100 leverage with no consistency rule to pass. Instant Funding skips the evaluation: the account is funded without an evaluation once it is enabled after purchase and the required KYC, with no profit target, in six sizes from $2,500 to $100,000. Standard has a 7% maximum drawdown, a 3.5% daily limit, 1:33 leverage and a split from 75%. Lite is the lower-priced variant, with a 6% maximum drawdown, a 3% daily limit, 1:25 leverage and a split from 70%. The Pro family offers a 1-Step Pro and a 2-Step Pro in $50,000, $100,000 and $200,000, with the same targets as the Challenges, 8% and 10% maximum drawdowns, 4% and 5% daily limits and 1:50 leverage. A funded Pro account starts at an 80% split, moves to 100% after 30 funded days while Pro status is retained, and carries a salary entitlement of 1% of purchased capital per rolling 30 calendar days. A Minimum Profitable Day ends at least 0.5% of the initial balance above the previous trading day's close. After the target and those days, the trader requests progression in the Dashboard, and Finotive may review the account for compliance before granting funded status.

Drawdown is static on every account and measured from the initial balance, so it does not trail upward with profits. The daily limit is a percent of the previous trading day's closing balance, recalculated at 17:00 New York time; a trading day runs from 17:00:00 to 16:59:59 the following day. A Daily Drawdown or Maximum Drawdown breach closes the account at once. Floating Drawdown, the unrealised loss on open positions in one symbol, is measured against 2.0% of the initial balance in Challenge and Pro phases and on funded accounts, and 1.5% on Instant Funding. A notional volume cap sits next to leverage, from 5000% of the account on $2,500 ($125,000) to 1000% on $200,000 ($2,000,000). Other breaches are Strikes: on funded and Instant accounts each Strike cuts that cycle's Reward Payment to 10%, and five cumulative Strikes close the account permanently. Short trades are not banned, but a payout cycle is flagged when 40% or more of closed trades last 120 seconds or less. Instant Funding adds a high-frequency test (30% or more of closed trades under 60 seconds) and a check on a single trade supplying 60% or more of a cycle's positive profit. News trading is allowed with a genuine directional view; straddled or hedged exposure within 15 minutes of Red or Amber events is not. Expert Advisors and copiers are allowed when the trader developed, owns and controls them; copying third-party accounts or signal providers is outside the rules. On Instant Funding, non-crypto positions must be closed before the Friday 17:00 New York close unless the Weekend Holding Add-On is active. Accounts with no trade for 30 consecutive calendar days may be closed. Platforms are MT5 and Match-Trader, covering FX, indices, commodities and crypto.

Rewards are paid out of simulated profits. The first request is on demand once a Challenge-funded or Pro account is funded, or once an Instant Funding account has eligible profits. After the first approved Reward Payment the cooldown is 7 calendar days, or 14 on Instant Lite. Instant Standard needs 0 Minimum Profitable Days before a request and Instant Lite needs 5. Challenge-funded accounts start at an 80% split and can reach 95% through scaling; Pro-funded accounts reach 100% after 30 funded days. Instant Standard runs from 75% to 90% and Instant Lite from 70% to 85%. An Instant Funding request must be at least 1% of the initial balance, with no USD cap. A request needs eligible simulated profits, the cooldown, any Minimum Profitable Days, completed KYC and any Enhanced KYC, compliance checks, Finotive Pay eligibility and closed positions. Approved rewards go to the Finotive Pay balance or an approved payment method: bank transfer, crypto (USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, SOL and more), Revolut, PayPal or the Finotive Pay wallet. The payouts page says withdrawals from Finotive Pay are processed every Friday. Scaling runs on a rolling 90-day cycle with at least 50 trades; each successful cycle raises the balance by 30% (scaling is not automatic: it follows the Dashboard schedule and Finotive approval) (scaling is not automatic: it follows the Dashboard schedule and Finotive approval), up to USD 680,000 per scaled Challenge or Pro account and USD 340,000 per scaled Instant account. The 90-day target is 12% on 1-Step, 10% on 2-Step and 15% on Instant. From the 31st funded day Pro accounts keep weekly trade count and volume within +/-25% of earlier averages and make 5% profit in each rolling 90 days.

Every price is a one-time list price in USD, paid in full before access is granted. The 1-Step Challenge costs $35 at $2,500, $355 at $50,000 and $1,160 at $200,000; the 2-Step costs $25, $400 and $895. Instant Standard costs $105 at $2,500, $1,399 at $50,000 and $2,699 at $100,000, and Instant Lite $55, $699 and $1,199. 1-Step Pro costs $514 at $50,000, $914 at $100,000 and $1,799 at $200,000; 2-Step Pro costs $469, $744 and $1,484. Challenge and Pro fees are refunded automatically, to the original payment method, when the account is funded and in net profit on the 30th day after it. On Instant Funding, a cancellation request can be made within 14 calendar days if no trade has been placed and KYC is complete. Other items on the official pages: a forex commission of $5 per lot on Challenge and Instant and $4 on Pro, per the trading-symbols page (other asset classes are on other tabs), the Weekend Holding Add-On for Instant accounts, and the paid Account Refresh for funded Challenge accounts, with its fee shown in the Dashboard. Code PFKEY is listed at 50% off all accounts; confirm the final price at checkout. Every account price quoted on this page is a list price before any code.

Traders who want a funded account from day one can look at Instant Funding: Standard starts at $105 for $2,500 with a 75% starting split and no Minimum Profitable Days, and Lite starts at $55 with a 70% split and a 14-day cooldown. Traders who prefer an evaluation with a small entry fee can look at the Challenges: the 2-Step costs $25 and the 1-Step $35 at $2,500, with an automatic fee refund on day 30 of net profit. The 1-Step suits a single 10% target; the 2-Step uses a 7.5% target in phase 1 and 5% in phase 2 under a 9% maximum drawdown. Pro suits traders on $50,000 to $200,000 accounts who want the salary entitlement and the 100% split and keep a steady weekly trade count. The rule set suits MT5 and Match-Trader users who trade news or run EAs they wrote; third-party EAs and signal copying fall outside it.
