SFX Funded Review: Rules, Profit Split & Payouts
SFX Funded is a forex prop firm whose most distinctive account is the 1-Step Pro challenge, which has no daily drawdown in the evaluation or once funded. Alongside it the firm sells the Rapid 1-step challenge with a 3% profit target, a 2-step challenge (named Ascend in its help centre) and Instant funding with no evaluation, in account sizes from $5,000 to $400,000. The profit split is 85% as standard, rising to 100% as an account scales. SFX Funded says it has operated since 2023 and reports more than $3.5M in rewards paid, with trading on Match-Trader and Platform 5.
The SFX Funded rules change with the program. Rapid needs 3% with a 3% daily loss limit, a 4% trailing drawdown and no minimum trading days. 1-Step Pro needs 9% within a 6% trailing drawdown and at least 4 trading days. The 2-step asks for 8% then 5%, with a 4% daily limit, an 8% static drawdown and 5 trading days per phase. Instant accounts carry a 3% daily and 6% trailing drawdown. No program has a time limit, and positions can be held overnight and over the weekend. News trading is allowed in the challenge phases, but funded accounts may not trade from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after red-folder news. Hedging, copy trading, martingale, grid and third-party EAs are prohibited, while trade managers and self-developed EAs are allowed. Funded accounts also face a consistency rule, the SFX Stability Index, which caps the biggest winning day at 15% to 25% of total profit. Open losses are capped too: on 1-Step Pro a floating loss of 1% brings a warning and a 40% split, and a second breach closes the account, while on Instant a 2% floating loss (1% on $300,000 and $400,000 accounts) closes it.
Rewards are requested on demand once eligible, after 10 trading days per payout on Instant, 7 on 1-Step Pro and 5 on the 2-step, though the terms say all payouts are at the company's full discretion. The help centre says payout requests are processed within 48 business hours, by bank transfer or USDT on TRC20. Funded capital is capped at $500,000 per trader, and the scaling plan adds 25% of the starting balance after a qualifying 3-month review, up to $3,200,000. The evaluation fee is refunded with the fifth profit split payment. Residents of Syria, North Korea, Cuba, Iran and Myanmar cannot join.

Is SFX Funded legit?
Prop Firm Pal has not verified SFX Funded, so this is not an endorsement: it is what the record shows. Its own pages name the operating company as SFX International - FZCO, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (IFZA Business Park, Dubai Silicon Oasis). It was founded in 2023. Its website has been active in Prop Firm Pal's monthly traffic record since November 2025, and traffic over the last three months is declining. It claims $3.5M+ paid to traders; that is its own figure, and we have not seen its payout records. Its payout policy is published, and summarised on the Payouts tab.

How SFX Funded compares in size
Measured on estimated monthly website visits for September 2026, SFX Funded ranks 113 of the 463 prop firms Prop Firm Pal tracks — larger than 76% of them, at roughly 62.21K visits a month.
The ranking covers every firm measured between July 2026 and September 2026, each on its own latest reading in that window. Firms last measured before July 2026 are left out rather than shown with a stale figure, so the total moves month to month.
Size is not quality. A large firm is one that markets successfully, and several of the most visited firms in this ranking have the strictest rules; some of the smallest pay out reliably to everyone who asks. What the ranking is useful for is scale — whether you are looking at an established operation or something very new.
