WSFunded (also written as WS Funded or Wall Street Funded) is a CFD prop trading firm based in the United Arab Emirates, launched in December 2023. It sells simulated forex and CFD accounts through instant, one-step and two-step programs on MetaTrader 5, cTrader and Match-Trader. Entry prices are low, with the two-step model the cheapest way in, but mandatory stop losses, a per-idea risk cap and consistency limits make the rulebook stricter than the headline terms suggest.
Programs and what each one asks of you
WSFunded runs several model families. The firm’s rules group them as 2-Step (Classic and Ultra), 1-Step (Rapid, Power and Prime) and Instant (Standard and Pro). They are sold as PRIME Challenge, POWER INSTANT, INSTANT Standard, 2 STEP and 1 STEP. PRIME and POWER INSTANT are sold under the Instant step type, even though the rules describe Prime and Power as one-phase programs. The terms below follow the sales labels.
2 STEP
- Profit target: 8% in Phase 1, 5% in Phase 2
- Daily loss: 5%; maximum loss: 8%, static
- Minimum trading days: 4
- Profit split: 80%; payout cycle: 30 days for the first payout, then every 10 days
- Account sizes: $3K to $100K
A static maximum loss is fixed relative to the starting balance and does not rise with profit: on a $100K account, the 8% limit keeps the floor at $92,000 however high the balance climbs. This is the most forgiving drawdown structure WSFunded offers, and the trade-off is a two-phase evaluation with the slowest first payout.
1 STEP
- Profit target: 10% in Phase 1, 5% in Phase 2
- Daily loss: 5%; maximum loss: 10%, static
- No minimum trading days
- Profit split: 80%; payout frequency: instant
- Account sizes: $3K to $100K
Several terms are unclear or conflict and are worth confirming on the checkout page before buying. The 1 STEP shows two profit targets (10% and 5%) although it is sold as a one-step program. The 1 STEP and Prime give their payout frequency only as “instant”, with no cycle. The withdrawal minimum on 1-Step and 2-Step accounts is given as “$100 / 1% of the initial balance” without saying which applies. Prime has a static maximum loss, yet the after-withdrawal drawdown rule groups it with the trailing-drawdown accounts.
PRIME Challenge
- Profit target: 5%
- Daily loss: 1%; maximum loss: 3%, static
- No minimum trading days
- Profit split: 90/10; payout frequency: instant
- Account sizes: $50K and $100K; MetaTrader 5 only
Prime’s limits are very tight. A 1% daily loss and a 3% overall limit let a $100K Prime account lose $1,000 in a day and $3,000 in total. Prime also falls under the 1%-of-initial-balance risk cap per trading idea (explained below), so one losing idea at full permitted risk would consume the entire daily allowance.
POWER INSTANT and INSTANT Standard
| Term | POWER INSTANT | INSTANT Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Profit target | None | None |
| Daily loss | 3% | 3% |
| Maximum loss | 5%, dynamic | 6%, dynamic |
| Minimum days | 4 | 4 |
| Profit split | 80% | 80% |
| Payout cycle | 15 days first, then 10 | 15 days first, then 10 |
| Account sizes | $3K to $100K | $3K to $50K |
Instant accounts skip the evaluation, so you pay more for the same nominal size. Their dynamic (trailing) maximum loss moves the breach line up as the account makes new highs, so early gains do not become extra room the way they do on a static account. The Power program runs only on MT5.
Costs
List prices, each discounted 50% under the code WSFNEW:
- 2 STEP and 1 STEP: $33 at $2.5K, rising to $579 (2 STEP) and $559 (1 STEP) at $100K
- PRIME Challenge: $75 at $50K and $110 at $100K
- POWER INSTANT: $60 at $2.5K up to $562 at $100K
- INSTANT Standard: $105 at $2.5K up to $1,869 at $50K
Instant pricing climbs much faster than evaluation pricing. A $50K INSTANT Standard account costs $1,869 against $369 for a $50K 2 STEP, and buys a trailing drawdown with a 6% overall limit rather than a static 8%. All fees are one-time.
Traders can run several evaluations at once. Funded accounts can be combined up to a maximum of $400,000.
Consistency rules
WSFunded caps how much of your total profit can come from your single best day:
- 15% best day: POWER INSTANT, INSTANT Pro, CLASSIC and ULTRA
- 30% best day: INSTANT Standard and RAPID
As a hypothetical example, take an account with $2,000 in total profit. Under the 15% rule, no single day may contribute more than $300. If your best day made $600, you would need total profit of at least $4,000 before requesting a payout ($600 ÷ 0.15). Under the 30% rule, the same $600 day would need $2,000 in total profit. One strong session can therefore delay a payout by weeks on a 15% account, even if the account is well above its target.
Trading rules
Minimum days
Most programs require four days. Depending on the program, these are either four trading days or four profitable days of at least 0.5% each. On some models, the funded stage asks for three profitable days of at least 0.5%. Prime and the 1 STEP have no minimum. There is no time limit to complete an evaluation.
Stop loss within two minutes
Every trade must have a stop loss attached within two minutes of opening. In an evaluation, missing it earns a warning. On a funded account, the first violation cancels the payout and the account.
Risk per trading idea
- On most accounts, you may not risk more than 50% of the daily drawdown on one trading idea.
- On Prime, Power, Instant Standard and Instant Pro accounts, the cap is 1% of the initial balance per idea.
A trading idea is one or more trades on the same instrument, in the same direction, based on the same analysis. Positions opened on the same asset in the same direction within 30 minutes of each other can be grouped as one idea. Risk is measured from the stop loss, using the highest risk the stop defines. As with the stop loss rule, a breach is a warning in evaluation and ends the payout and account on the first funded violation.
In dollars, for two account types:
- 2 STEP $100K: 5% daily loss = $5,000, so the maximum risk per idea is $2,500.
- POWER INSTANT $25K: 1% of $25,000 = $250 per idea.
Lot size limits
The firm publishes maximum position sizes by account size:
| Account | Forex | Commodities/Metals | Indices |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5K | 3 lots | 0.5 lots | 5 lots |
| $10K | 6 lots | 1 lot | 10 lots |
| $25K | 10 lots | 1.8 lots | 20 lots |
| $50K | 20 lots | 4 lots | 40 lots |
| $100K | 35 lots | 7 lots | 70 lots |
Exceeding them can lead to reduced leverage, daily trade limits, lot caps, tighter daily loss limits, the 1% risk rule being applied, or permanent exclusion.
News trading
News trading is allowed during evaluation. On funded accounts, you cannot open or close trades on affected instruments from four minutes before to four minutes after a red-folder (high-impact) event. Profit made inside the window may be removed, and in rare cases the account may be reset. Any trade held through high-impact news must already carry a predefined stop loss and take profit.
EAs, copy trading and VPNs
- Expert Advisors, cBots and indicators are allowed if the strategy itself is permitted. They are not allowed on Instant Standard or Instant Pro.
- Manual copy trading is allowed only between your own accounts when both are in evaluation and neither is a $100K account. Copying between funded accounts, from challenge to funded, into $100K accounts, through external copy tools or between different clients is not allowed.
- VPN and VPS use is allowed but discouraged because it can interfere with internal tracking. It is prohibited during KYC/AML verification. Completing KYC on a VPN or VPS can mean the account is not funded or is deactivated.
Weekend holding and prohibited strategies
You can hold and open positions over the weekend. Banned strategies include HFT, trades under 60 seconds, grid, arbitrage, hedging (including group hedging across accounts), latency and reverse trading, tick scalping, trade stacking, churning, hyperactivity, gambling-style behavior and overleveraging. The 60-second minimum rules out most scalping systems. WSFunded reserves the right to close an account immediately if it detects a prohibited strategy.
Leverage
WSFunded publishes leverage by program type:
| Asset | Instant | 1-Step | 2-Step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forex | 1:50 | 1:100 | 1:100 |
| Metals | 1:10 | 1:10 | 1:10 |
| Indices | 1:10 | 1:20 | 1:20 |
| Energy | 1:10 | 1:10 | 1:10 |
| Crypto | 1:1 | 1:2 | 1:2 |
| Other commodities | 1:10 | 1:10 | 1:10 |
| Stocks | 1:10 | 1:10 | 1:10 |
Stocks are available only on MT5 and Match-Trader. Crypto at 1:1 or 1:2 makes it a margin-heavy market here, so crypto-focused traders may find better terms among crypto prop firms.
Payouts and withdrawals
Splits and schedules
Each program’s payout cycle is given above. The standard split is 80% (90/10 on Prime), and an add-on raises it to 90% on some models, including the 2-Step Classic and Ultra. The firm reports processing payouts Monday to Friday between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. CET.
Minimums and methods
- Instant (Standard and Pro): no fixed minimum. The amount you can withdraw depends on your best day and the consistency percentage.
- 1-Step (Rapid and Power) and 2-Step (Classic and Ultra): the minimum is $100 / 1% of the initial balance.
Payout methods are card (Visa/Mastercard), cryptocurrency and bank transfer. Under the firm’s rules, payments under $500 go out in crypto (USDT, USDC, ETH or BTC), and payments over $500 go through Rise, or crypto where Rise does not operate.
WSFunded does not publish a total paid to traders.
Drawdown after a withdrawal
On Instant (Standard and Pro) and 1-Step (Prime and Power) accounts, the breach line stays where it was after a withdrawal: it neither trails down nor locks. Your balance falls but the line does not, so your remaining drawdown shrinks by the amount you take out.
As a hypothetical example, suppose an account’s balance is $10,800 and its trailing breach line sits at $10,200, leaving $600 of room. Withdrawing $400 leaves a $10,400 balance against the same $10,200 line, so only $200 of room remains. A losing trade, or even the commission on a new position, that pushes equity below the line triggers an immediate breach. Leave a buffer when sizing withdrawals on these accounts.
Scaling
To qualify for scaling, you need a 15% return over three months with at least three withdrawals. Each milestone adds 25% of the initial balance, the split can rise to 95%, and the ceiling is $2,000,000.
Restricted countries
WSFunded does not accept traders from Cuba, Sudan, Somalia, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, North Korea, Libya, Pakistan or Vietnam. Residents of Spain and Andorra are excluded from the Power program only, and using a VPN or proxy to get around this can lead to cancellation without a refund and a permanent ban.
Strengths and trade-offs
WSFunded’s strengths are low entry costs on the 2 STEP and 1 STEP from $2.5K accounts, static drawdown on the evaluation models, news trading and weekend holding, three platforms and a scaling path to $2,000,000. The trade-offs are a rulebook in which one missed stop loss or oversized idea ends a funded account, 15% consistency on several programs, and instant accounts that pair high fees with trailing drawdowns that tighten after withdrawals.
How we checked WSFunded
We visited wsfunded.com on 13 November 2026, connecting from Tallinn, Estonia. The home page sent us to its English version, titled “Wall Street Funded | Best Prop Firm”. We scrolled to the footer and read it. After that we opened the legal notice, the terms and conditions, the FAQ and the futures simulation page. Last, we clicked “Claim offer” and landed on the checkout at purchase.wsfunded.com, where we clicked through the $5,000, $10,000, $25,000 and $50,000 sizes to see the plan details.
Prices are public. Each size in the home page tables carries two figures, a list price and a lower one. The 2 STEP Classic runs from $33 at $2,5k to $579 at $100k, while a $50k Instant Standard account lists at $1869. The checkout page showed ten prices, and we saw them without registering, though we went no further than viewing. The FAQ caps combined funded accounts at $400,000. Four platforms are named on the site: MT5, cTrader, Match-Trader and MT4.
The company details need a closer look. In the footer, WSF Technology FZCO in Dubai Silicon Oasis says it operates “under License No. 47001”. The same footer describes WSFmarkets Ltd as incorporated in Saint Lucia with registration number 2025-00117. Yet the legal notice gives that company’s number as 2025-001173. One extra digit. We cannot say which version is right. The footer also states that the firm is not a broker and that all accounts are simulated. None of these numbers is a licence we can look up in a register we have access to, so we ran no register check.
On Trustpilot, WSFunded scored 4.3/5 from 5,083 reviews when we read the profile on 13 November 2026, with 78% five-star and 11% one-star ratings. The earliest Wayback Machine capture of the domain is from 2023-12-21. We could not verify how payouts work in practice, how strictly the rules are enforced, or whether either Saint Lucia number is on file anywhere.
Who it may suit
The 2 STEP fits traders who always use stops, keep risk per trade modest and want cheap, static-drawdown evaluations. Prime fits very disciplined traders who want a large balance for a small fee and can live within a 1% daily loss. Scalpers, grid and hedging strategies, and anyone who sets stops manually after entry are a poor match for the rulebook. Traders set on skipping evaluation can compare the instant terms with other instant funding prop firms.
