BreakOut at a glance
A two-step prop firm reviewed by the Tradelytic team and rated by funded traders.
BreakOut is a prop trading firm offering two-step evaluations across account sizes from $5,000 to $100,000, with a profit split of up to 80%. It targets traders at the earlier stages of their funded trading journey.
However, the firm presents several limitations relative to stronger competitors: an 80% profit split ceiling below the 90% offered by leading firms, the lowest maximum account size in our review set, a monthly payout cycle, a 30-day time limit, a tighter 8% drawdown limit, and no free retry option. The sections below break down where BreakOut BreakOut performs and where it falls short.

Fees & platforms
What it costs to trade, and what you'll trade on.
BreakOut charges a one-time challenge fee with no monthly subscription. Account sizes range from $5,000 to $100,000, with the entry-level fee among the most accessible in the market. However, the $100,000 maximum is the lowest ceiling in our review set, limiting earning potential for growing traders. The two-step evaluation includes a Challenge and Verification phase, with an 8% maximum drawdown – tighter than the 10% standard at most leading firms, leaving less room for fluctuation. The fee is non-refundable with no free retry option, meaning each failed attempt requires a new full payment.
Trading rules
The core rules govern maximum daily loss and maximum overall drawdown, both measured against the starting account balance. A 30-day time limit is imposed on the evaluation, which distinguishes BreakOut unfavourably from leading competitors that impose no deadline. Traders must reach the required profit target within the 30-day window to progress, adding time pressure that demands more active and consistent trading than a no-limit evaluation environment. The combination of a tighter drawdown limit and an evaluation deadline creates a more constrained trading environment than the majority of competing firms currently offer.
Payouts
Funded traders receive payouts on a monthly cycle, with the profit split reaching up to 80%. The monthly payout schedule is the least frequent among firms in our current review set and compares significantly less favourably against firms offering bi-weekly or on-demand payout access. The 80% profit split ceiling also falls short of the 90% available from the strongest competitors. Always confirm the current fee schedule, challenge targets, drawdown rules, and profit-split terms directly with BreakOut before purchasing a challenge, as conditions may be updated over time.
