Blueberry Funded — strengths & weaknesses
Pros
- Backed by Blueberry Markets, an ASIC-regulated Australian broker with ~8 years of brokerage operation — real infrastructure behind the accounts
- Four platforms — MT4, MT5, TradeLocker and DXtrade — a wider choice than most rivals
- Raw spreads from ~0.1 pips with a flat forex/gold commission and zero commission on indices, commodities and crypto
- Broad evaluation menu: 1-Step, 2-Step, Rapid, Synthetic and instant funding, from a low entry price
- 80% split scaling to 90%, bi-weekly payouts with no withdrawal fees
- No time limit on most challenge tracks; news trading, EAs and weekend holding permitted with restrictions
Cons
- The funded entity is registered offshore in St. Vincent and the Grenadines — the ASIC regulation covers the affiliated broker, not the prop product
- Polarised Trustpilot sentiment and a volatile published score, with recurring funded-account breach complaints at payout time
- Young firm (2024) — the long-term payout track record is still forming
- Excludes several regions, including US, Australian, Russian and UAE residents
FTMO — strengths & weaknesses
Pros
- Ten-year payout record, now backed by ownership of the OANDA brokerage group
- On-demand payouts averaging ~8 hours to process, with the challenge fee refunded at first payout
- New 1-Step Challenge pays 90% from the first payout; 2-step rules unchanged and time-unlimited
- Stable, transparent rules that are never applied retroactively — plus the excellent MetriX dashboard
Cons
- Pricing above newer discount-driven rivals
- Standard funded accounts restrict news trading (2-minute window) and weekend holding — you must pick Swing to avoid both
- No futures product, no TradingView or DXtrade; crypto is a handful of CFDs
