There are no DNA Funded reviews on the Forex Peace Army (FPA), which is a serious downside. The firm has 2-3 reviews on Trustpilot, and all of them are negative, which is a major red flag. However, 2-3 reviews are not enough to evaluate the firm’s reliability or quality of services. When it comes to experience, the firm was launched in 2024, which makes it very young and inexperienced in the prop trading industry. The firm is backed by DNA Markets, which is a regulated Forex and CFDs broker. All funded accounts are simulated or demo accounts and traders are not allowed to access live markets, a minor drawback. 

The firm gets a 1.5 score in this section.

DNA Funded funded programs are diverse and include 1-step, 2-step, and Rapid challenges. The Rapid challenge is a 1-step challenge that gives traders 10 days to hit a 5% profit target. Traders should be careful with this challenge as they are not allowed to lose more than 4% each trading day and the maximum drawdown is 5%. The list of DNA Funded funding options includes 5k, 10k, 25k, 50k, 100k, and 200k for 1-step and 2-step and from 10k to 100k for the Rapid challenges. The 1-step and 2-step DNA Funded challenges are definitely more attractive for traders as they offer 5k accounts which are attractive for beginners and the biggest account 200k is also more attractive for experienced traders. 

DNA Funded scaling plan is available and allows traders to increase their maximum funding amount and get up to 90% profit split, which is very flexible.

Overall, the firm gets a 3 score in this section.

• Forex - 1 Phase and Rapid 1:30, 2 Phase is 1:50.
• Commodities, Indices, Stocks - All Challenges 1:10
• Cryptocurrency - All Challenges 1:2

As a result, the firm gets a 4 score in this section.

Weekend holding and overnight trading are allowed. Copy trading is not permitted and traders can not use EAs as TradeLocker does not support automated trading.

The firm gets a 0.8 score in this section. 

The pricing is very competitive from DNA Funded. The 1-step DNA Funded challenge starts at 59 dollars for the 5k USD challenge. The 2-step DNA Funded evaluation starts from 49 dollars for the 5k USD challenge, and the Rapid DNA Funded account starts at 99 dollars for the smallest 10k USD evaluation. Withdrawals incur no commissions. The one downside of the firm is it does not offer spreads of 0 pips, which makes it difficult to deploy scalping strategies for the Rapid challenge. 

DNA Funded free trial is not offered and the DNA Funded free repeat is not available either. 

Overall, the firm gets a 3 score in this section. 

The firm allows access to TradeLocker which is a dedicated prop trading platform. MT4 and MT5 are not available which is a serious downside as TradeLocker does not allow custom indicators and Expert Advisors (EAs). Mobile trading is available via the mobile TradeLocker app which can be downloaded from the website.

The firm gets a 2.1 score in this section.

DNA Funded profit split is 80% for all funded accounts which is a decent amount. However, traders can get 90% payouts using the scaling plan, which is super attractive. Withdrawals are slightly slow and take up to 72 hours, but are commission-free.

Overall, the firm gets a 3 score in this section.

Educational resources are important for beginners. Unfortunately, the firm does not provide any kind of educational assistance like webinars, trading courses, or video guides, which is a huge downside. There is no trading blog available either to provide market insights and trading tips. DNA Funded also falls short when it comes to trading tools. 

The firm gets a 0 score in this section.

The support from DNA Funded is provided using live chat and email options. The live chat has a built-in AI assistant which is useful to see quick FAQ answers. The only language available is the English language. There is no phone support offered which is a big red flag. 

As a result, the firm gets only a 2.4 score in this section.
