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
Topstep — strengths & weaknesses
Pros
- Longest track record in futures funding (2012), FIA member, published pass-rate and payout statistics
- Genuine live progression backed by an FCM — not sim-only payouts
- TopstepX discipline tools (personal loss limits, trade limits) and next-business-day payout processing
- $49/month entry with a reset credit included in each renewal
Cons
- 2026 changes cut the deal: flat 90/10 split, lower per-payout caps, and reserve-locked live accounts
- Combine Maximum Loss Limit trails intraday on open equity — unrealized wicks can breach you
- Monthly subscription costs stack during long evaluations
- Trustpilot fell to 3.4 amid the payout-policy backlash
