Upon viewing the official Furex Capital website, you are unlikely to find much detail regarding the safety measures of the firm and its software.

While prop trading firms do not hold clients’ funds on their balance, data security and the issue of legitimate use of account fees are major concerns prop firms need to address.

Unfortunately, Furex Capital is not transparent regarding its security measures and leaves a lot to be desired in terms of informing prospective clients about the firm’s capacity in this regard. 

The available account sizes at Furex Capital are the following: $5,000, $8,000, $15,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, $200,000 and $400,000.

Each of these accounts can be part of a one-step or two-step evaluation program. As for the instant funding account, there are six different account sizes: $5,000, $8,000, $15,000, $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000.

The Furex Capital scaling plan allows traders to scale up their accounts up to $2 million, which is the maximum amount of funding a single user may unlock at the firm. 

It is also worth noting that a flat $10,000 is not offered, which can be a bit inconvenient for some traders who will otherwise have to choose between a $8,000 and a $15,000 account. 

While the official Furex Capital website does not list the individual instruments that are tradable at the firm, the FAQ page states that clients can trade currencies, crypto, commodities, indices and U.S. and European stocks, which is a relatively uncommon offering among prop trading firms, which gives Furex Capital a slight advantage in this regard.

As for the allowable leverage on forex trading, clients can use a default 1:50 leverage on currencies and commodities. 

Similarly to other prop trading firms on the market, Furex Capital also enforces certain rules traders need to follow, which differ based on which evaluation program a trader chooses.

For example, the profit target for the One-Phase evaluation is 8% during the challenge stage and 4% once funded. On the other hand, a Two-Phase evaluation has a 7% profit target of Phase 1, 4% on Phase 2 and 4% after getting funded. 

Daily and maximum loss limits also differ between accounts and range from 3 to 4 and 6 to 8 percent, respectively.

As for other miscellaneous rules imposed by the firm on its clients, they are the following:

• No time limits on trading
• Payouts distributed every 14 days 
• No consistency rules apply 
• Automated trading tools are prohibited
• Use of multiple IP addresses is prohibited

These general rules mean that Furex Capital is slightly stricter than competing firms when it comes to loss limits and use of automated trading systems. On the other hand, there are no time limits, which give traders some flexibility when it comes to their trading strategies. 

Below we can see a list of the account fees applicable to each account size of the One-Phase, Two-Phase and Instant Funding evaluation programs.

• $105 ($81 on sale) for the $8,000 account

• $1,192 ($917 on sale) for the $200,000 account
• $2,120 ($1,631 on sale) for the $400,000 account

• $471 ($362 on sale) for the $5,000 account
• $728 ($560 on sale) for the $8,000 account

Most prop trading firms offer either MT4, MT5, or both to their clients, as they are two of the most popular forex trading platforms on the market.

Unfortunately, Furex Capital does not offer either of them. Instead, the firm’s clients have access to Sirix, which is also a forex trading software that comes with technical indicators and customizable charting options.

It is also worth noting that Furex Capital also has an iOS and Android app, which includes all the necessary features for trading on the go.

Overall, the absence of MT4 and MT5 docks some points from Furex’s trading platform score, but the firm nonetheless delivers some value for money to its clients in terms of software. 

While most prop firms have a dynamic profit share that can be scaled up after successive payouts, Furex Capital offers a fixed profit split of 80%, without the opportunity to scale.

You can request a payout every 14 days, which is a standard timeframe across multiple prop trading firms on the market. There are no fees on withdrawals and you can choose between a wire transfer, crypto withdrawal, or a Visa/Mastercard to take out your funds. The firm showcases several successful withdrawal certificates as a testament to its profitable clients.

Some prop trading firms include free educational materials, such as webinars, blogs, guides, etc. to give beginner traders the opportunity to learn as they go. However, Furex Capital does not offer such a feature, as the firm does not have any educational content of its own, which can be a major downside for traders who are just starting out and want to know more about how prop trading works in practice, while trying their hand at it via a small funded account. 

For this reason, Furex Capital gets a 0/5 in the Education category. 

Existing and prospective clients of Furex Capital that would like to reach out to the firm can do so using the chat function, which is not a live chat, but a WhatsApp add-on, which may be inconvenient for some users. 

A dedicated support email and a hotspot also seem to be missing, which means that the firm does not score highly on customer support. A FAQ section is available on the official website to answer common client inquiries regarding the services and features of the firm.
