Swiss Firmup

Swiss Firmup is a futures prop firm run by Arcadia Sàrl from Sion, Switzerland, out of the same building as a local trading school. You trade CME, CBOT, COMEX and NYMEX contracts on a dxFeed account, through TradingView, Deepchart, ATAS or Quantower. It suits intraday futures traders who want one-time pricing, no daily loss limit and a company they can look up in a commercial register.

How the evaluation works

There's one evaluation, sold two ways, in $50K, $100K, $200K and $300K sizes.

• Classic: from $49. Hit the target ($3,000 on the $50K, up to $9,000 on the $300K) without touching an end-of-day drawdown of $2,000 to $3,500. Then pay $99 to activate the funded account.

• Pack Pro: from $119, with the funded activation included, so you move straight across once you pass.

Neither has a daily loss limit. Restarts are a one-off discounted payment, not a subscription.

Rules worth knowing

• You have 30 calendar days to pass.

• A 50% consistency rule applies to the evaluation. A big day pushes your target up instead of failing you.

• Positions must be closed five minutes before the session ends. Nothing overnight.

• News trading is allowed without restriction.

• Hedging, on one account or across several, can get you closed.

• You can hold up to five funded accounts.

Getting paid

You keep 90% from the first payout. To qualify you need five profitable days in the cycle, each above a minimum ($150 on the $50K, up to $300 on the $300K), and the counter resets after each payout. You can withdraw up to 50% of profits per request, from $200 up to a cap of $2,000 to $3,500 depending on size. Payouts go through Rise within one to eight business days.
