The short answer
Ment Funding is a high-ticket firm designed for experienced traders seeking massive initial capital (up to $2,000,000) through a simple 1-step process. Wall Street Funded is a more versatile, budget-friendly option offering Instant Funding and MetaTrader 5, but imposes stricter execution rules like mandatory Stop Loss and minimum trade duration.
