FundedVerse vs QT Funded at a glance

Updated on

The short answer

FundedVerse is the choice for high-capital traders seeking up to $2M in allocation and 3-step paths, while QT Funded is superior for platform flexibility (cTrader/TradeLocker) and ultra-fast 4-day payout cycles.

Where they actually differ

  • Platforms (Tech): QT Funded offers MetaTrader 5, cTrader, and TradeLocker. FundedVerse is restricted to MetaTrader 5 only.
  • Maximum Allocation (Risk): FundedVerse allows a massive $2,000,000 aggregate limit. QT Funded caps total funded allocation at $300,000 ($100,000 for Instant).
  • Payout Frequency (Payouts): QT Funded provides 4-day cycles on QT ONE and Instant plans. FundedVerse requires 21 days for the first withdrawal, followed by 10 to 14-day intervals.
  • Activation Fees (Price): QT Funded's "Power" and "1 Step" plans involve high activation fees (e.g., $500 for a 50K Power account). FundedVerse uses a more traditional upfront fee or a "Pay-Later" entry fee of $29.
  • Evaluation Structure (Risk): FundedVerse offers 1, 2, and 3-step evaluations. QT Funded only offers 1 and 2-step models.
  • Drawdown Logic (Risk): FundedVerse offers a "Static" 2-step model with a fixed floor. QT Funded's "Static" drawdown is standard on most plans, but its Instant model uses trailing drawdown that locks at the starting balance after a withdrawal.

Where they are basically the same

  • Assets: Both provide Forex, Commodities, Indices, and Crypto.
  • Trading Styles: Both allow EAs and News Trading with specific high-impact restrictions and consistency rules.
  • Instant Funding: Both firms offer immediate access to funded accounts without an evaluation phase.
  • Commissions: Both charge volume-based commissions (QT at $4/lot; FundedVerse fee details vary by provider).

Pick this one if

FundedVerse:

  • You want to manage up to $2,000,000.
  • You prefer a 3-step evaluation to lower the initial purchase cost.
  • You want to earn loyalty points (FV Points) to redeem for discounts.

QT Funded:

  • You refuse to trade on MetaTrader and need cTrader or TradeLocker.
  • You want to withdraw profits every 4 days.
  • You are looking for a 100% profit split (available on QT Instant).

Payout Frequency

The website and checkout add-ons state 21 days for the first withdrawal. The terms then specify 10 calendar days for 1-Step, 2-Step Trailing and 3-Step; 10 business days for Static; 14 calendar days for Ultra and Instant. The latter intervals run from the previous payment. All funded accounts require 15 completed trades per cycle.

  • QT TWO: 14-day cycle
  • QT INSTANT: 4-day cycle
  • QT Power: 14-day cycle for accounts purchased from August 11, 2026. Accounts purchased on or before August 10 receive the first payout on demand, then move to a 14-day cycle.

Minimum Withdrawal

The terms conflict: the table lists USD 200 for 1-Step, 2-Step Trailing and 3-Step; USD 100 for Static and Ultra; none for Instant. Clause 4.4 states USD 100 generally except Instant, while the FAQ states USD 200. Confirm the plan-specific amount in the dashboard.

Max Drawdown

Trailing against peak equity; under the terms, it stops rising when the floor reaches 96% of initial balance. Static keeps a fixed floor from activation. Free and prize accounts always use trailing, even when the base model is Static.

  • QT ONE: 6% static
  • QT TWO: 8% static
  • QT INSTANT: 6% trailing, locked at starting balance once a withdrawal is made
  • QT Power: 8% static
  • QT 1 Step (BNPL): 6% trailing
Daily Drawdown

Static takes the higher of balance and equity at 00:00 server time and fixes that reference for the day. Other models have a discrepancy: the FAQ uses that daily reference, but the terms describe trailing against peak equity. Instant has no daily limit. Losses include floating P&L, charges and swaps.

  • QT ONE: 3% trailing (fixed amount, threshold recalculated daily on the higher of previous close balance or equity)
  • QT TWO: 4% fixed (balance-based)
  • QT INSTANT: 3% fixed

Minimum Trading Days

Evaluation according to checkout: 1-Step, 2 days; Trailing, 2 and 3; Static, 4 and 4; 3-Step, 2 per phase; Ultra, no minimum configured. The terms still state 10 evaluation days for Ultra.

  • QT ONE: no minimum on the evaluation (can pass in a single day); 4 days when funded
  • QT TWO: 4 days per phase
  • QT INSTANT: 4 days when funded
  • QT Power: 4 days in each evaluation phase and 4 days per funded payout cycle

Points expire after 12 months and challenge vouchers after 90 days. Refunds reverse points and profile termination forfeits them; failing a challenge does not.

Expert Advisor (EA)
Limited

The terms permit automation on 1-Step, Trailing, Static and 3-Step, and only during Ultra evaluation; it is prohibited on Ultra funded and Instant. The FAQ requires an EA add-on absent from the reviewed catalogue. The Risk Desk may request files and logic within five business days.

Yes

A Stop Loss must be placed within 60 seconds of opening a trade. Applies to QT TWO and QT INSTANT (funded accounts). QT ONE has no stop loss rule.

Scalping
Limited

Terms: profits from trades held under 4 minutes are excluded, except on Static. Static has no evaluation minimum; funded profits from trades under 2 minutes are excluded if they exceed 30% of cycle profit. The FAQ states 180 seconds, or 30 with an add-on absent from the sale catalogue.

  • News source: Forex Factory.
  • The News Rule does NOT apply to QT ONE, QT INSTANT, QT Power or QT 1 Step (BNPL) accounts.
Inactivity Rule

  • QT TWO: no inactivity rule
  • QT INSTANT, QT Power, QT 1 Step (BNPL): 14 days
  • QT ONE: the comparison table states 7 days while the plan article states 14 days; confirm with support before relying on it.
    The period runs from the purchase date if no trade has been placed, or from the most recent closed trade.
Consistency Rule
Limited

Funded checkout: 40% on 1-Step, Trailing, Static and 3-Step; 25% on Ultra and Pay Later; 20% on Instant. It limits the best day contribution to total profit.
