About FORFX 

FORFX, is known as a well-known prop trading firm (prop-firm) that allows you to trade and utilize the firm's capital after a funded challenge. The idea is that you show your trading skills according to trading criteria and receive funds for your capital, given you pass a challenge phase for funding. Once you are successfully funded, you will receive a percentage of the profits based on the outcome of your trading. FORFX has multiple account types with different fees, profit targets, account sizes, etc. FORFX allows trading on popular trading platforms such as MT4 and MT5. And allows trading on a wide range of instruments generally like, forex, metals, stocks, crypto, etc.
 

FORFX Evaluation Models & Challenges Explained

Before you are able to receive funding, FORFX will require you to pass one or more challenge phases. A challenge phase is meant to assess risk management and consistency of trading. Below is a high-level overview of what you should think about:
 

Challenge Example

You will search for each model:

• Which target profit, drawdown rules and trading conditions you were required to meet firmly in the challenge phase.
• The requested account size and the challenge fee for that account size.
• The allowed strategies in the challenges phase.
• What are the firm's profit split and payout frequency after completing of challenge phases.

Our Verdict on FORFX Challenge Accounts

We consider the challenge accounts at FORFX to be solid - there are several options which are nice. You can select the one that works for you. The profit split prices are competitive (up to ~90%) which is good. On the flip side, there are strict rules (daily losses and overall max losses) and you should check how the news or weekend trades are treated. Also, in some cases, it appears that withdrawals are via crypto only which some people may not like. If you are disciplined with risk and adhere to the rules, FORFX can be a good prop firm
 

FORFX Rules to Know

With FORFX funded accounts, there will be things you need to follow - rules around how you trade, how many days you need to be trading, what you cannot do. Make sure you understand these before trading.
 

Trading Consistency Rules

Once you are funded, FORFX needs you to trade consistently. Not just one big win and being inactive for two months. You need to continue to stick to the firm's risk rules and trading standards.
 

Inactivity Rule

Having a funded account and then not trading for a period of time, you might get your funded account suspended or closed. Check the minimum activity requirement each firm requires.
 

FORFX Platform Access & Trading Conditions

Let’s have a look at how you will get access to the platform and what the trading conditions are for 2025 at FORFX.
When you register and pass the challenge, you will be given access to the trading platform. FORFX supports popular platforms such as MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5).

Our Conclusion on FORFX Platform Access

The access is a good offering - MT4 and MT5 are widely embraced and respected. Generally, competitive conditions for a prop firm. However, you will want to verify your specific challenge plan directly or with references as far as what instruments you can trade, what fees apply, and if there are any hidden, lesser known rules for your specific challenge plan.

What Trading Instruments Can You Trade on FORFX?

While trading with FORFX, traders are generally allowed to trade a broad range of instruments. Here are the offers:

• Forex (major, minor currency pairs)
• Metals (gold, silver, etc)
• Indices
• Stocks (in some account types)
• Commodities

Our Verdict on Trading Instruments offered by FORFX

FORFX carries a decent range of instruments, which is a good point - you won’t just be a forex trader - you can trade other assets as well. If you are planning on trading metals or crypto or stocks, this is nice to have. Just review the rules for each instrument to ensure you have a solid understanding of what is allowed.
 

Payout Process and Reward System from FORFX

The payout process and reward system work similar to this with FORFX. Once you pass your challenge, and are funded (or you meet the requirements for payouts on a funded account), FORFX will pay you your share of the profits under the profit-split system you agreed to.
 

Details: 

• Profit Split: Depending on your challenge type - you may receive up to ~90% of the profits.
• Payout Schedule: Once you are funded - you can request payouts during the agreed upon time frame (10 days, 14 days, 30 days depending on your challenge) for profits.
• Refund Fee: Some plans offer a refund of 125% of your challenge fee, on passing, depending on the plan.
• Payment Method: In many circumstances you will receive your payout by way of cryptocurrency. Options for traditional bank/paypal methods may not exist. 

FORFX Payout Eligibility

You should meet certain minimum criteria - that is, you should have produced a profit following all the same rules, maintained the minimum number of trading days, not exceeded max drawdown and so on. Then only you request payout. FORFX has stated reviews for passing may take up to certain hours for the challenge stage. 
 

FORFX Payout Conditions By Account Type

Different account types have their own different conditions (profit target, drawdown, minimum days) which then flows to payout eligibility. For instance Flash and Legend and Black payout time-frames are different. 
 

How Fast are FORFX Payouts Processed?

Usually about 10 to 30 days after you request payout depending on the account type. Some users have reported faster payouts with crypto-currencies. Always check for your plan which day applies.
 

Platform supported for Payment & Payout At FORFX

Currently, crypto seems to be the common payout method, while traditional banking may not always be supported. It’s advisable to check to see what’s available in your region as well as in your own bank account or payment method.
 

FORFX Scaling Plan

A scaling plan is when you are permitted to increase the account size or increase your capital after proving your consistent results. With FORFX, although there are larger account options (Black account from $100K to $400K) the specifics of an explicit "scaling" plan may not be as well defined as you would see with some larger companies. If your goal is to transition over time to very large capital, check with FORFX to see how scaling works or what would occur if you move up from one challenge to another. 
 

How to Pass FORFX: Pro Tips from Real Traders

Here are practical tips to improve your odds of passing a FORFX challenge:

• Understand and strictly follow the drawdown rules and the daily loss limits.
• Use a trading strategy you have tested and believe in already - do not experiment during the challenge.
• Risk management: small position size, stop losses, do not do large risky trades just to hit the objective.
• Confirm if there are rules for significant news events: for some challenges, trading could be restricted near major news events.
• Check minimum trading days: it is important that you have traded the required number of days for your plan.
• Record your trades and maintain discipline: you must be consistent rather than one big win.
  Review the payouts and how quickly they are processed - find a plan that fits your need for speed.
• Confirm that your payment option works for you, (crypto vs bank) prior to starting the challenge.

FORFX Prop Firm User Feedback and Trust Factors

Feedback from users highlights various pros and cons for FORFX. Pros include good support, fast payouts (in some instances), and flexible formats for challenges. For instance, I saw a post from someone saying: "First payout on demand took less than 30 mins." 
 

Concerns include account closures, unclear rule interpretations, and high commissions. 
 

In regard to The Trust Factor rating component: Trust Trigger suggests an excellent rating for FORFX (as 

high as 4.5/5 in some ratings) based solely on the domain's longevity, user ratings and traffic. That said, just because the ratings are good does not mean you should just jump in!
 

What We’re Noticed Across the FORFX Community

• What we are taking notice of from traders within the community has been generally positive, especially the various options they have on challenges and the profit split rate.
• Some traders had comments in concern to their experience within the platform, mostly regarding unclear rules or challenges in withdrawal.
• Several users did recommend to start small and use only profits when choosing to scale.

Should You Trust FORFX?

Yes and no. We feel you can treat FORFX as a serious option, but the example mentioned above stands - nothing is guaranteed for easy profit. Based on the community feedback - the firm appears legit, and with a fair number of good reviews - but there are always risks involved (like any prop firm). You should be sure you understand all the terms and check if you are eligible from your country - and the price you pay can be taken in profit or loss.
 

Final Verdict

Yes. If you are a disciplined trader, FORFX is worth considering in 2025. Know what you are doing, and pick the challenge type that fits you. The variety of options, decent profit splits, and good platform support are strong positives.
