Rebels Funding

Rebels Funding launched from Bratislava, Slovakia in May 2023, founded by forex trader Marek Soska and operated by RIFM s.r.o. Its hook is a tiered evaluation ladder — Copper (4-phase), Bronze (3-phase), Silver (2-phase), Gold (1-phase) and Diamond (instant) — that lets you trade harder or easier challenges depending on how much you want to pay and how fast you want funding. Everything runs on RF-Trader, an in-house platform built on TradingView charts, so there is no MT4, MT5 or cTrader here.

The rulebook leans trader-friendly on the mechanics that matter most: there are no time limits on any program (up to 999 days per phase), news trading and overnight/weekend holding are allowed, and the fee-refund model is unusually generous — the cheaper Copper and Bronze tiers advertise refunds of up to 200% and 150% of your entry fee on your first payout. Profit splits scale with the tier, topping out around 90%, and payouts run on a 14-day cycle with community reviewers reporting fast processing. Trustpilot sentiment is solid at 4.4 across roughly 2,600 reviews, and the firm reports 30,000+ traders and $3M+ paid.

The trade-offs are worth weighing. This is a young firm on a proprietary platform, so there is no MT4/MT5 muscle memory to fall back on and no long-term track record yet. Automated trading (EAs/bots), sub-30-second trades, hedging and arbitrage are all prohibited, and the higher-tier Diamond program actually pays the lowest split (around 75%). For patient, manual, discretionary traders who like the no-deadline structure and the refund upside on the entry tiers, Rebels Funding is a reasonable pick — just go in knowing it is platform-locked and still building its history.

Rebels Funding runs a five-tier ladder, all on a 5% daily / 10% maximum drawdown basis unless noted:

Copper (4-phase): 5% target per phase, 200% fee refund, split up to 90%. Bronze (3-phase): 5% target per phase, 150% fee refund, split up to 90%. Silver (2-phase): 8% then 5% targets, 100% fee refund, split up to 90%. Gold (1-phase): 10% target, 4% daily / 6% max drawdown, 100% fee refund. Diamond (instant): 10% target per level, no daily drawdown, 5–6% max drawdown, ~75% split.

No time limits anywhere. Manual trading only — EAs/bots, trades under 30 seconds, hedging and arbitrage are prohibited; news trading and weekend holding are allowed. Leverage runs up to 1:200 on forex majors, 1:100 on metals and indices.

Profit splits scale with the tier, up to roughly 90% on the evaluation tiers (Diamond instant pays around 75%). The first payout is requestable 14 days after your first funded trade, then on a bi-weekly cycle; community reviewers report fast processing (often within a day or two). On the entry tiers, part of your challenge fee is refunded with the first payout — up to 200% on Copper and 150% on Bronze. Payouts go out via crypto (USDT/BTC), bank transfer and e-wallets (Wise/Rise).

Accounts scale by roughly 25% per successful advancement, with capital reported to reach up to $640,000 after scaling from a maximum starting allocation of $320,000. The Diamond program advances through levels, requiring 10% profit for each level-up.
