Rebels Funding — strengths & weaknesses
Pros
- No time limits on any program — up to 999 days per phase, no deadline pressure
- Generous fee-refund model — up to 200% on Copper and 150% on Bronze on the first payout
- Profit splits scaling up to ~90% on the funded stage
- Flexible tiered lineup from 4-phase Copper to instant Diamond, entries from ~$28
- News trading and overnight/weekend holding allowed
- Solid Trustpilot sentiment (4.4) with fast payouts on a 14-day cycle
Cons
- Proprietary RF-Trader platform only — no MT4, MT5 or cTrader
- No automated trading (EAs/bots), and sub-30-second trades, hedging and arbitrage are banned
- Young firm (2023) — limited long-term track record
- The instant Diamond tier carries the lowest profit split (~75%)
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
