Data notes. Forex Flex Challenge: $9 entry + one-time activation fee after passing (5K $56 ... 200K $1,200, from the site's pricing script); rendered rules table: 4% target (1% during Halloween), 5% daily, 6% trailing, no min/max days, EAs allowed, no stop-loss rule. The site's per-size product config also lists 4% daily / 4% trailing / 'up to 80%' for every size, which conflicts with the rendered table; we show the rendered table and flag it here. Instant Funding (forex) list prices 5K $109 ... 200K $2,220 (site applies a discount on screen); level target 10% to scale, 2% max floating loss (Account Protector), partial closes intraday only. Futures: Flex Futures (monthly, start price $59, activation $149-$399) and Instant Sim Funding (one-time $409-$979) on WealthCharts; Flex Futures list prices unclear ($99/$199/$299/$299 monthly vs $59 start) so not listed as a program. MT5 not available to US residents. Payouts above $500 via RiseWorks in USD, below $500 in USDT (TRC20) or USDC (ERC20). Homepage/about say '$12M+ total rewarded'; the Flex page says '$18M Total Payouts'. The site's '4.8/5 from 5K verified reviews' is not Trustpilot (Trustpilot: 3.8 from 791). FTUK acquired TradingFunds in H2 2026 (about page).
