Funding Traders vs Lux Trading Firm

Rules placed next to each other, with the calculation basis written out — because two firms quoting the same percentage can be measuring completely different things.

What differs most.

One uses a Trailing, intraday maximum loss, the other Static floor.
Lux Trading Firm requires a stop loss on every trade; Funding Traders does not.

Account closed
Trading day over, account survives
Room to lose on day one
Profit still needed to pass phase one

Drawn to scale from each plan's own published numbers, on the plan compared in the table below. Day one is the only day on which every daily-loss basis agrees, which is what makes the two bars honestly comparable at all. On day one the account closes first at Lux Trading Firm — its floor sits $4,000 above the floor at Funding Traders. Funding Traders uses a trailing maximum-loss floor: the bar shows where it sits on day one, and it rises with your peak without ever coming back down. We could not confirm a daily loss limit for the Lux Trading Firm plan from the firm's own pages, so that mark is absent. That is not a claim the rule does not exist.

Only the first recorded plan of each firm is shown here. Full plan detail, sources and everything we could not verify are on each firm's page. Every dated record here was last re-checked against the firm's own pages on 7 September 2026.

Not yet verified is not No. Where a cell reads "Not yet verified", we could not confirm the rule from the firm's own terms or help centre. It is not a claim that the rule does not exist.
