OTHER
Keep in mind the Daily Drawdown rule is Relative and not Static like most. Withdrawing funds also decreases your margin. For example. If you have a $100k account and you make 10% you can’t withdraw it all or you will be disqualified. If you withdraw $5k, you now only have $5K of drawdown left. Or essentially you just cut your account size in half, after just withdrawing half your profits. We find this EXTREMELY negative compared to other firms.

REFUNDS & BONUSSES
The 100% refund only gets paid out once the trade makes 10% on account.
PROFIT SHARE
80% of your simulated profit made during the FT+ Trader phase can be withdrawn by you upon request , this is automatically calculated when you make a payout request. When you are an FT+ Trader and you make 20% simulated profit on your simulated-live account, you can request to be upgraded to a 90/10 simulated profit split. You can then request to move to 100/0 once you reach 30% of simulated profit!
SCALING
Essentially you can scale with every 10% account increase, but with the relative drawdown rule this becomes tricky. By withdrawing you eat into your allowed drawdown. Read more here: https://www.fundedtradingplus.com/the-premium-trader-program/
MERGING
Only untraded accounts can be merged

Summary & Rating
THE UPSIDE
The main upside to this firm is the high Trust Ranking. The firm is also suited for swing trading and you can get weekly payouts.
THE DOWNSIDE
There are plenty of downsides to this firm. The challenges fees are high and the requirements are hard, making the Challenge Value Rating very low. The relative drawdown rule is a pain and makes it much harder to pass a challenge and keep a funded account. Withdrawing funds will be treated like a loss as this decreases your drawdown value.
IN SUMMARY
It is hard to get around the relative drawdown rule with this firm. The only thing that saves it from a Tier 5 ranking is its Trust Rating. But I can’t go any higher and have to rate this firm as Tier 4
