This guide is available in English. Programme rules and eligibility still apply.
Map evaluation, Instant and Pay After Pass routes, then separate shared rules from programme-specific limits.

A programme menu is a starting point, not a complete specification. A one-step product can change maximum-loss mechanics after passing, while an Instant account starts with simulated funded conditions immediately. The right comparison follows the full account lifecycle rather than selecting a name from the navigation.
The evaluation route contains 1-Step Standard, 1-Step Pro, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro, 3-Step. Those programmes have one, two or three evaluation phases. Instant starts at the simulated funded stage. Pay After Pass is a pay-later route with an evaluation before the remaining programme payment and simulated funded access.
All of these are simulated accounts. The headline size sets the basis for relevant targets and limits; it is not a spendable allocation paid to the trader. Rewards depend on eligible performance and the account conditions. Keeping that distinction clear makes the programme choice easier to compare with its fee and expected use.
For each product, write down the phase target, daily-loss percentage, maximum-loss percentage and static or trailing type. Then compare qualifying-day count and threshold. A lower target is only one trade-off; tighter loss room or different simulated funded conditions may matter more to the strategy you actually trade.
Holding time also varies: the flagship 2-Step Standard uses 3 minutes, while the Instant specification is separate. The flagship fee refund is attached to the 3rd successful reward. Other programme refund milestones are shown in the comparison. Do not promote one product's favourable number as if it described all seven.
This order can reveal a poor fit quickly. Ask whether the simulated funded maximum loss remains static or trails, whether daily loss changes, and what qualifies a day. An evaluation can look comfortable while the next stage is incompatible with the method's ordinary holding time or drawdown path.
Use the same historical or practice sample for both stages, including open equity, costs and timestamps. Mark the evidence type clearly. A backtest showing that a sample fits the rules is useful screening; it is not a verified pass rate, an actual simulated funded record or evidence of a completed reward.
Your final choice should fit in a short explanation naming the trade-off: a particular phase structure, loss floor, payment schedule and simulated funded routine. Save the exact order summary and rule version. If you cannot explain an important rule in your own words, resolve it before paying rather than relying on a comparison badge.
The programme comparison gives the side-by-side specification, while the rulebook explains shared mechanics. Use both with the Terms. A seven-programme menu offers different structures, but it does not remove the need for your own evidence, fee budget or operating plan before the first order.
MultiFunded-specific details were checked against the programme configuration and rulebook on 23 October 2026. Read the conditions attached to your own account before trading; educational examples do not predict results.
Yes. No best-day or best-trade consistency cap applies at any current evaluation or simulated funded stage. Other programme conditions remain.
No. Percentages and static or trailing mechanics vary. Compare the evaluation and simulated funded stages separately.
It starts at the simulated funded stage and has its own loss, holding-time, qualifying-day and fee conditions. Compare the full specification rather than removing a target from another product.
Compare the complete conditions before paying for a simulated account.
