Zurich or Frankfurt?
Both are instant funding at the same sizes and the same 70% reward share. They differ on exactly two rules, and you should pick on those two alone.
| Zurich | Frankfurt | |
|---|---|---|
| Consistency rule | None | 30% |
| News trading | Not allowed | Allowed, 20% of profit counted |
| Max payout | 10% of size | 10% of size |
| $10,000 account | $199 | $159 |
Take Zurich if your edge is size-of-win. No consistency rule means a single large winning day cannot disqualify a payout, which is the most common denial mechanism in this industry. You give up news trading for it.
Take if you trade the news and your results are naturally even. It is cheaper, and 20% of news profit counts.
How the winning-day rule works
Zurich pays out after 7 winning days. A winning day is a trading day that closes at least 0.25% of account capital in profit. They do not need to be consecutive, and a day below the threshold does not count against you.
Two things to know before buying
No news trading. Zurich positions may not be opened or closed around high-impact releases. If news is part of your strategy, Frankfurt is the desk for you.
No fee refunds. Instant funding fees are not refunded on any payout. You are paying for same-day access with no evaluation, and that fee is final.
You trade a simulated environment and earn real-money rewards calculated from those results, paid under our payout policy. See the risk disclosure.
