The split
In both firms, you start your journey with a standard 80% of the generated profits. However, the path to increasing that share differs:
- FunderPro: You can secure a 90/10 split from the start on Classic and One-Phase accounts by purchasing an add-on.
- Wall Street Funded: The split starts at 80% but can scale up to 95% through their scaling plan, which requires achieving 15% profit within 3 months and making 3 withdrawals.
How often you can withdraw
Wall Street Funded offers a higher frequency of withdrawals after the initial waiting period, whereas FunderPro maintains a stable bi-weekly cycle.
- FunderPro: Standard payouts are every 14 days. You can reduce the first payout wait to 7 days on Classic and One-Phase accounts via an add-on.
- Wall Street Funded:
- Two-Step and Instant: First payout after 15 days, then every 5 days.
- One-Step: First payout after 30 days, then every 10 days.
Minimums and methods
Both firms use modern digital payment rails, but their minimum requirements for large transfers differ.
- FunderPro: A flat minimum of $100 for all reward requests. They use Rise and Crypto for payouts.
- Wall Street Funded: The minimum depends on the method. Crypto requires $100, while transfers via Rise require a minimum of $500.
What delays a payout
The risk of losing your progress or having a withdrawal delayed is tied to consistency and specific execution rules.
- Consistency Rules: FunderPro applies a consistency rule (max daily profit of 40-45% of the total) only on One-Phase and Pro challenges. Wall Street Funded applies a stricter 15% or 30% consistency rule on their Instant accounts.
- Execution Restrictions: Wall Street Funded requires a mandatory Stop Loss within 2 minutes of opening any trade; failing to do so is a breach. They also prohibit news trading (4-minute window) and trades shorter than 60 seconds.
- Risk Limits: FunderPro uses fixed drawdown for challenges and trailing for Instant. Wall Street Funded also uses static drawdown for evaluations and trailing for Instant, but adds a rule where you cannot risk more than 50% of your daily drawdown on a single trade idea.
What it takes to get there
Before reaching the first dollar of profit, you must navigate the evaluation costs and platform options.
- Investment: For a $100,000 account, FunderPro’s Classic (2-step) costs $539, while Wall Street Funded’s Ultra (2-step) is slightly cheaper at $509. Both offer refunds (FunderPro with the first payout, Wall Street Funded with the second).
- Platforms: FunderPro provides MetaTrader 5, TradeLocker, and cTrader. Wall Street Funded offers a wider variety: cTrader, MetaTrader 5, MatchTrader, and DXTrade.
- Trading Styles: FunderPro is more permissive, allowing EAs (if owned), news trading (on challenges), and holding over the weekend (with an add-on). Wall Street Funded allows EAs and weekend holding by default but is much stricter regarding news and scalping (minimum 60-second hold).
Which pays out more comfortably
Wall Street Funded is the choice for the disciplined trader who wants to touch their money as often as possible (every 5 days) and doesn't mind the mandatory use of Stop Loss and news restrictions.
FunderPro offers a more comfortable path for the swing trader or the automated trader who needs flexibility. Not having to worry about a 60-second rule or a mandatory stop loss reduces the friction of daily operations, even if it means waiting 14 days between withdrawals.
