Equity Edge

Equity Edge is a CFD prop firm that sells three challenge tiers, Legacy, Swift and Flagship, each as a 1-step and a 2-step evaluation, plus an Instant account that skips the challenge. Account sizes run from $2,500 to $300,000: $200,000 is limited to Flagship challenges and Instant accounts, and $300,000 to Instant accounts. Traders use MT5 or Match-Trader for forex, metals, energies, indices and crypto. Equity Edge advertises an 80% profit split rising to 90% through its scaling plan, and is run by Equity Edge Ltd, registered in Saint Lucia.

No Equity Edge challenge has a time limit. The 1-step evaluations use a trailing drawdown: Legacy and Flagship set a 10% profit target with a 4% daily and 6% trailing maximum loss, and Swift sets 8% with 3% and 5%. The 2-step challenges use a static maximum loss: Legacy asks for 10% then 5% within 5% daily and 10% overall, Swift 8% then 5% within 4% and 8%, and Flagship 8% then 5% within 4% and 10%. Minimum trading days are 2 per phase, or 3 on the 2-Step Flagship. The Instant account has a 3% daily limit, a 5% trailing maximum loss and a 15% consistency score. Rules to watch: no opening or closing trades 2 minutes either side of high-impact news on Legacy and Swift, 5 minutes on funded Flagship accounts and 8 minutes on Instant accounts, with no news restriction in Flagship evaluations, and bans on EAs, hedging, martingale and copy trading beyond two challenge accounts.

Equity Edge payouts can be requested every 14 calendar days from the first funded trade, with a $125 minimum, and the firm says they are processed within 48 hours by bank wire or crypto. Instant accounts pay a 90% profit split; challenge accounts reach 90% with on-demand payouts at VIP level after sixteen payouts. Commission is $3 per round lot on 1-step and 2-step accounts and $6 on Instant accounts, with indices commission-free. All sales are final with no refunds, and challenge prices are not published on the pages read.
