The short answer
QT Funded is the choice for platform variety (cTrader/TradeLocker) and rapid 4-day payout cycles, whereas Dolvero is better suited for traders seeking a simpler structure with static drawdown and significantly cheaper 1-step evaluations.
Where they actually differ
- Platforms: Dolvero is restricted to MetaTrader 5. QT Funded offers MT5, cTrader, and TradeLocker.
- Payout Frequency (Payout): Dolvero pays every 14 days. QT Funded offers 4-day payout cycles on its ONE and INSTANT plans, making it much faster for consistent traders.
- Risk Rules: Dolvero enforces a hard 2% realized loss limit per trade idea on evaluation accounts. QT Funded uses floating loss limits (1% to 2%) and requires a Stop Loss within 60 seconds on its TWO and INSTANT funded accounts.
- News Trading (Styles): Dolvero prohibits opening/closing trades 30 minutes around high-impact news (unless you buy an add-on). QT Funded allows news trading on most plans (ONE, INSTANT, Power, 1-Step), restricting it only on the QT TWO plan.
- Price: While $100k 2-step prices are nearly identical ($549 vs $550), Dolvero is much cheaper for 1-step accounts ($689 for $100k) compared to QT Funded ($1,000 + a $500 activation fee for the same size).
- Profit Split: Dolvero offers 80% (up to 90%). QT Funded offers up to 100% on its INSTANT plan, though its standard plans start at 70-80%.
Where they are basically the same
- Risk: Both firms use a 10% or 8% maximum drawdown and 3-5% daily limits on their standard 2-step programs.
- Styles: Both require pre-approval for EAs and strictly prohibit HFT, tick scalping, and latency arbitrage.
- Payout Methods: Both support Crypto and Bank Wire transfers.
- Assets: Both provide access to Forex, Commodities, Indices, and Crypto.
