The short answer
Choose Ment Funding if you want to scale a single-step account up to $2,000,000 using cTrader. Pick QT Funded if you need MetaTrader 5, faster payout cycles (4–14 days), or immediate access to capital via Instant Funding.
Where they actually differ
- Payouts (Timing): QT Funded is significantly faster, offering 4-day or 14-day cycles depending on the plan. Ment Funding requires a 30-day wait between payouts after the first on-demand withdrawal.
- Platforms: QT Funded provides MetaTrader 5 and TradeLocker. Ment Funding has moved away from MetaTrader, offering cTrader, DXTrade, and MatchTrader.
- Risk (Leverage): QT Funded offers higher leverage for Forex (1:50) compared to Ment Funding’s conservative 1:20.
- Price and Models: Ment Funding only offers 1-step evaluations. QT Funded provides a wider range: Instant Funding (no evaluation), 1-step, and 2-step plans, with lower entry prices for small accounts.
- Risk (Drawdown): Ment Funding uses a static maximum drawdown (6%). QT Funded uses a mix of static and trailing drawdown depending on the chosen plan.
- Styles (EAs): Ment Funding allows EAs freely. QT Funded requires a pre-approval process before you can use any Expert Advisor.
- Scaling: Ment Funding is superior for high-capital traders, scaling up to $2,000,000. QT Funded caps total funded allocation at $300,000.
Where they are basically the same
- Assets: Both firms allow trading on Forex, Commodities, Indices, and Crypto.
- Trading Styles: Scalping and Hedging are permitted on both platforms.
- Fees: Both charge commissions per lot ($7 on Ment, $4 on QT), though QT offers a commission-free option.
- News Trading: Both restrict news trading around high-impact events, though the specific time windows and restricted events vary slightly.
Pick Ment Funding if:
- You want a large $2M allocation and a static drawdown.
- You prefer a simple 1-step evaluation process.
- You are comfortable with cTrader and a 30-day payout cycle.
Pick QT Funded if:
- You want to trade on MetaTrader 5.
