There are no Orion reviews on the Forex Peace Army (FPA), which is a serious downside. When it comes to Trustpilot, the firm has around 150 reviews, most of which are super positive about the firm’s services and its reliability. The firm was launched in 2024, which makes it relatively young and inexperienced in the prop trading industry. When it comes to trading services, the firm is backed by a regulated broker, ZenFinex. However, this broker has negative reviews on the FPA. All funded accounts are simulated or demo accounts, which is also a minor downside of this firm.

The firm gets a 1.5 score in this section.

Orion funded programs are diverse and include 1-step, 2-step, and instant funded accounts. The funded options list is the same for 1-step and 2-step challenges and the instant account offers different options. The list of 1-step and 2-step Orion funding options includes 10k, 25k, 50k, 100k, and 200k USD amounts. The instant funded account offers 2.5k, 5k, 10k, 20k, 40k, and 80k USD. The instant account allows for immediate access to the funded account without the evaluation phase and it is natural for this type of account to have smaller funded amounts. 

The 2-step and 1-step Orion challenges both require traders to hit profit targets and maintain strong risk control.

Orion scaling plan is available and allows traders to get up to 2 million dollars in virtual funding. Traders can get a maximum of 400k USD by purchasing several challenges as well.

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

Orion prop trading assets allowed include FX pairs, commodities (energies, metals), indices, and a handful of crypto pairs. The firm is very strict with leverage and only allows up to 1:20, which is a downside. The lack of stocks, futures, and other asset classes is a minor drawback for the firm.

The firm gets a 3 score in this section as a result.
