Company Information
Sure Leverage Funding (SLF) is a proprietary trading firm founded in November 2023 and based in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. The company, operated under SureLeverage / ASAP Solutions FZ-LLC, offers a wide range of funding programs (challenges) with no time limit, featuring profit splits of up to 100%. It describes itself as a “forward-thinking” firm committed to empowering traders through flexible funding programs and accessible capital. SLF does not apply fixed monthly fees; traders only pay the evaluation price (challenge fee) for each program and trading commissions (see below).
Plans and Programs
SLF offers various types of challenge accounts and instant funding, each with particular features. The main programs are described below, with their targets, drawdowns, prices, and notable conditions:
One Phase (1-Step Challenge)
Single-phase challenge account. Profit target 8%, maximum drawdown 8% (trailing), and daily drawdown 4%. No time limit. Standard profit split 80% in favor of the trader. Instant withdrawal is allowed after meeting requirements, with a guaranteed 24-hour process. There is a free reset: if the trader manages to pass to the funded account and loses the account within 10 days, they can request another evaluation at no additional cost. Below is a summary of pricing and parameters (prices in USD):
| Account Size | Target (%) | Max Drawdown (%) | Daily Drawdown (%) | Price (USD) |

Two Phase (2-Step Challenge)
Account with two mandatory phases. Phase 1: target 10%; Phase 2: target 5%. Maximum drawdown 10% (not replenishable after being hit) and daily drawdown 5%. No time limit in each phase. Profit split 80% for the trader. It also allows instant withdrawals after meeting requirements, with a 24-hour payment guarantee. There is no free reset in this plan. Parameters and prices:

EA Challenge
Designed for traders who use Expert Advisors in the evaluation phase. Single target 6%, maximum drawdown 8% (trailing), and daily drawdown 4%. EAs are only allowed in the challenge phase; upon passing to the funded account, EAs are prohibited. Profit split starts at 50% and increases to 80% from the sixth withdrawal. The first payout can be requested 4 weeks after purchasing the account, then every 2 weeks. It does not allow instant withdrawals (according to the rules page). The floating loss rule (effective June 15, 2025) penalizes a 1% drop from the initial balance. Parameters and prices:
| Account Size | Target (%) | Max Drawdown (%) | Daily Drawdown (%) | Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | 6 | 8 | 4 | 85 |
| $10,000 | 6 | 8 | 4 | 185 |
| $25,000 | 6 | 8 | 4 | 369 |
| $50,000 | 6 | 8 | 4 | 515 |
| $100,000 | 6 | 8 | 4 | 759 |
| $200,000 | 6 | 8 | 4 | 1359 |
Buy Now, Pay Later
Unique promotion: activate any account size by paying only $10 upfront, and the rest is paid only after passing the challenge. You trade with real conditions in a structure similar to the “Instant Funding Pro”: daily drawdown 4% and maximum drawdown 8% in the challenge, with a 6% target. After passing, the funded account follows the Instant Funding Pro rules: maximum drawdown 6% (trailing), daily 3%, with a 20% consistency rule. The profit split in the funded phase is 80%. Payouts are bi-weekly, with no instant withdrawals. If any rule is breached (e.g., stop-loss, lots, etc.), it is deducted from profits; after 20 infractions, the challenge is closed. Penalties for floating loss breach are halving on the first strike, closure on the second. Key points:
- Promotional pricing: In addition to the initial $10 payment, the rest of the original fee (according to the table below) is charged only once the challenge is passed. If you fail, the initial payment is lost.
- No free reset. Losing the account means losing the initial payment.
| Account Size | Target (%) | Max Drawdown (%) | Daily Drawdown (%) | Full Price (USD) | Initial Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | 6 | 8 | 4 | 69 | 10 |
| $10,000 | 6 | 8 | 4 | 149 | 10 |
| $25,000 | 6 | 8 | 4 | 275 | 10 |
| $50,000 | 6 | 8 | 4 | 425 | 10 |
| $100,000 | 6 | 8 | 4 | 785 | 10 |
| $200,000 | 6 | 8 | 4 | 1585 | 10 |
Instant Funding
Program without an evaluation phase. You buy the account and trade immediately. There is no profit target (it’s about withdrawing profits directly). Parameters: 8% static maximum drawdown (fixed, does not increase with profits) and 4% daily drawdown. There is a profit cap per withdrawal cycle of 5% of the initial balance (allowing withdrawals of up to 5% each period). The profit split is scaling: it starts at 50% on the first withdrawal and increases to 80% from the sixth withdrawal. Regular payouts are processed every 14 days (although instant withdrawals may be enabled during special promotions). 24-hour processing is guaranteed (if there is a delay, SLF applies an extra +10% profit).
| Account Size | Max Drawdown (%) | Daily Drawdown (%) | Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | 8 | 4 | 99 |
| $10,000 | 8 | 4 | 189 |
| $25,000 | 8 | 4 | 449 |
| $50,000 | 8 | 4 | 789 |
| $100,000 | 8 | 4 | 1419 |
| $200,000 | 8 | 4 | 1919 |
Instant Funding Pro
Advanced version of instant funding. Also without evaluation, you buy the account at the start. Parameters: 7% maximum drawdown (trailing), 3% daily drawdown, with a 20% consistency rule. The profit cap per cycle remains 5% of the initial balance. The split is fixed at 80% from the first withdrawal. Payouts are bi-weekly; there are no instant withdrawals in this plan. There is an additional rule (effective June 2025): if equity drops more than 1% below the initial balance at any time, penalties apply (first time reduces split by half, second time closes the account). There are no free resets in this program.
| Account Size | Max Drawdown (%) | Daily Drawdown (%) | Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | 7 | 3 | 110 |
| $10,000 | 7 | 3 | 159 |
| $25,000 | 7 | 3 | 319 |
| $50,000 | 7 | 3 | 489 |
| $100,000 | 7 | 3 | 828 |
| $200,000 | 7 | 3 | 1283 |
Free Challenge ($1–$5 Challenge)
Special promotion. It consists of a 2-phase challenge similar to the Two Phase above, with $5,000 accounts. Targets 10%/5%, 8% maximum drawdown (static), and 5% daily. Upon passing, the trader receives a $5,000 funded account with a fixed 50% profit split (instead of the normal 80%). Only a small activation fee ($1–$5) is charged. There is no free reset, no EAs, and no copy trading. Instant withdrawals are allowed with a 24h guarantee. This modality is useful for practicing under SLF’s real rules for a very low cost.
General Trading Rules
SLF applies similar clear rules across all programs, with variations depending on the plan:
-
Mandatory stop-loss: on funded accounts, a stop-loss must be activated within 5 minutes of each trade. It is not mandatory in evaluation (but recommended). False stop-losses (an SL that, if triggered, would exceed drawdown limits) are not allowed.
-
News trading: allowed in all phases.
-
Expert Advisors (EAs): Prohibited on most accounts. The only exception is the evaluation phase of the EA Challenge, where they are allowed. Once funded, EAs are not permitted.
-
Copy trading: only copying your own trades to your funded account is allowed; copying identical trades from other traders on the same timeframe is not permitted. In the EA Challenge, copy trading is completely prohibited.
-
Multiple openings (Trade Ideas): opening multiple positions of the same pair and direction in a short period is considered a single “Trade Idea” for purposes of size and profit consistency.
-
Tick scalping: avoid very short-duration trades. Generally, each trade must be held for at least 1–2 minutes in the market. SLF prohibits high-frequency or latency arbitrage strategies in the funded phase.
-
Profit consistency rules: effective June 2025: no single day can contribute more than 25% of the total accumulated profits (equivalent to 20% in Instant Funding Pro and Buy Now Pay Later). Additionally, upon withdrawal, lot size consistency is checked: no lot can be more than +100% or less than -75% of the historical average.
-
Drawdowns: each plan has its maximum drawdown (daily and total), as specified above. In summary, the daily drawdown is recalculated daily (using the higher value of balance or equity) subtracting the current daily percentage. Exceeding it closes the account.
-
Floating losses: in some plans (EA Challenge, Instant Pro, Buy Now Pay Later) a “floating loss” rule applies: if equity drops 1% below the initial balance, it is considered an infraction (first time reduces the split by half, second time closes the account).
-
Resets: only the One Phase (1 Step) Challenge offers a free reset: if the funded status is reached and the account is lost within 10 days, the trader can try again at no cost. Other plans do not include free resets.
-
Violations: any serious rule breach (e.g., SL manipulation, lot/profit inconsistency) can lead to account closure. Repeated violation of partial rules leads to profit deductions; after complete deduction, the payout is denied, and a split penalty is applied (first denial, split halved; second, closure).
Deposits and Withdrawals
SLF does not act as an external broker; it uses the Rise (riseworks.io) platform for cryptocurrency withdrawals (USDT TRC20). After each payout, the account is reset to the initial balance.
-
Deposits: cards (Visa/Mastercard), bank transfers (including SEPA and local), cryptocurrencies, and alternative methods like Rise Pay are accepted. There are no monthly platform fees, only the trading commission.
-
Withdrawals: processed via Rise (in USDT-TRC20) with a 24-hour guarantee. If the amount is less than $100 (usual minimum), SLF reserves the right to deduct transaction fees. 24h settlement is guaranteed or compensated with +10% on the profit.
Tradable Instruments
The platform supports various instruments on MetaTrader 5 (main platform) or SLF’s own MatchTrader/TradeLocker. Available assets include Forex (currency pairs), stock indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Stocks are not mentioned, so they are presumably not enabled.
Restricted Countries
Only traders over 18 years old can participate. SLF does not accept clients from: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Russia, Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Somalia, or Syria. It also excludes individuals on sanctions lists, with financial criminal records or sanctions for fraud, or those who have been expelled for violating contracts.
Trader Support
SLF offers 24/7 support. The support team can be contacted via live chat on the website, email (support@sureleverage.com), or through Discord, according to official sources. Users comment that support is fast and always available (global channels, including Spanish and English). Additionally, they have a help center with comprehensive FAQs and a Discord channel.
Technical Aspects
-
Trading platforms: SLF uses MetaTrader 5 and its own MatchTrader platform (based on TradeLocker). This implies execution via dedicated servers and a bridge to the real market.
-
Leverage: maximum 1:50 on most accounts, except in the evaluation phase of the EA Challenge, where it goes up to 1:100. Upon passing to the normal funded phase, it is reduced to 1:50.
-
Commissions: SLF operates with raw spreads and a fixed commission of $5 per lot (100,000 units) on each transaction. There are no other recurring charges.
-
Spreads and slippage: not detailed on their website. Users report “tight” but variable spreads depending on the market. It is recommended to review conditions before trading.
-
Maximum capital per trader: $400,000 in total (combining all active accounts). There is no account scaling plan; the trader must open a new account for more capital.
