The facts
Only recently relaunched to US clients (March 2026) — US availability and terms are still bedding in.
A ~3.5% withdrawal fee and an MT5-centric platform limit choice and nibble at net payouts.
A proprietary trading firm evaluation is a paid product, not employment or guaranteed income — most participants do not pass. Neither firm here is a regulated broker; accounts are simulated and fees are at risk. Figures change often, so confirm the current terms on each firm's official site before deciding.
