Overflow cap (Standard 1/2/3-Step, Buy Now Pay Later, Instant): at most $10,000 of profit generated in any rolling 30-day period can be withdrawn (before the split) - one combined limit per trader across those accounts, and profit above it is forfeited

Read the full ruleShow less

Copy trading is allowed only between your own accounts and only by hand: "Copy trading is allowed only when copying your own trades between your accounts. Using an EA for copy trading is prohibited. Trades must be copied manually."

Prediction Markets ban account mirroring outright, so not even your own trades may be copied there. Grid and gap trading are prohibited across all challenge and funded accounts.

Also classed as cheating: high-frequency trading, toxic order flow, long/short and reverse arbitrage, tick scalping, server-execution abuse, reverse/group hedging, exclusive hedging and "gamifying" the drawdown.

A flagged account is terminated, not offered a rerun of the challenge

News tradingStandard 1/2/3-Step: no trade execution on affected instruments from 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after a red-folder release - that covers opening and closing by hand, pending orders, stop-losses, take-profits and the automatic close at the profit target.
Read the full ruleShow less

In the challenge it is a rule violation; on the simulated funded account Maven's Terms make it grounds for termination (its FAQ still says only the profit made inside the window is excluded). Instant: no news restrictions. Prediction Markets: no news restriction.

OMO: fully permitted in both phases, funded caps news profit at 0.50% of balance per event. Buy Now Pay Later: fully permitted during evaluation and still allowed once funded

Costs, payouts & platforms

What the account costs to run and how the money actually comes out — fees, payout timing and limits, scaling, and which platforms you can trade on.

Costs, payouts and platforms at Maven
CommissionsCommission $2 per lot per side on standard instruments ($4 round turn) and $3 per side on precious metals and energy ($6 round turn). Zero swap fees on all accounts. Payouts via Rise carry a $20 withdrawal fee
Minimum payoutStandard 1/2/3-Step, OMO and Buy Now Pay Later: $20 of profit before the split; Instant and Mini: profit of at least 3% of the initial balance before the split
Scaling planAccounts scale to $1,000,000: profit 10% over 4 months (2.5% a month) AND take at least one payout per month, and the account is increased 25%. Repeatable up to the $1M ceiling

Strengths & watch-outs

What works in your favour, and the quirks, fees, hidden rules and operational catches we found in Maven’s rules and FAQ. Always verify with the firm before purchase.

Strengths

  • +Generous max-drawdown buffer
  • +Static (not trailing) drawdown — equity gains stay banked
  • +High payout split (80% (90% with add-on))

    Overflow withdrawal cap - the single biggest scaling brake, and it is Maven's own published rule: on Standard 1/2/3-Step, Buy Now Pay Later and Instant simulated funded accounts "a maximum of $10,000 in profit generated in any rolling 30-calendar-day period is eligible for withdrawal, before the reward split".
    Read moreShow less

    It is one combined limit per trader across all of those accounts, it counts by when the profit was made rather than when you withdraw, and profit above it is lost for good: it "is permanently ineligible for withdrawal and cannot be carried forward".

  • !
    Once your total profit passes $5,000 a second brake engages: your best trading day or any single trade may not exceed 50% of that funded payout cycle's profit, and anything above is contracted back to the 50% mark.
    Read moreShow less

    Past $5,000 in payouts you must also sit a risk interview with a Maven analyst - you may reschedule once, but skipping it means the payout is not processed.

Show 21 more watch-outsShow 16 more watch-outsShow less
  • !
    M2 Account Saver (every phase of OMO including the funded stage, and the funded stage only on Buy Now Pay Later): it watches your combined open-position loss (balance minus equity) and fires automatically at 2% of the current balance.
    Read moreShow less

    A first trigger closes every open trade, and on a funded account it also permanently cuts your profit split to 50% for the life of the account - even if you bought the 90% add-on, and a payout does not reset it; a second trigger closes the trades and permanently deactivates the account, with no recovery.

    On OMO the trigger count starts again at zero in each new phase.

  • !
    Buy Now, Pay Later flips its drawdown model the moment you pass: the roomy 10% Phase 1 limit is STATIC, but the funded 8% limit TRAILS your highest floating equity - until your first withdrawal.
    Read moreShow less

    After that first payout the floor is fixed at the initial account balance and replaces the trailing floor, so the only room left is the profit still in the account: a $10,000 account grown to $10,800 that withdraws $600 has just $200 of drawdown left.

    The 4% daily loss limit keeps applying.

  • !
    Buy Now, Pay Later is $5 up front for EVERY size, but that is a deposit, not the price: the balance is charged after you pass, "right before your funded stage is unlocked" - $40 ($2k) / $69 ($5k) / $117 ($10k) / $189 ($20k) / $359 ($50k) / $589 ($100k).
    Read moreShow less

    A passed $100k therefore costs $594 in total, roughly 55% MORE than the $380 Standard 1-Step, so it is the dearest route to a $100k account, not the cheapest.

    The genuinely good half of the deal is that failing Phase 1 cancels the balance entirely - "You won't be charged the remaining fee" - so the $5 is the true cost of an attempt that does not pass.

  • !
    Only two platforms are sold: MetaTrader 5 and Match Trader, on one shared price list. Maven's pricing page no longer offers cTrader at all (it used to be a separate, dearer price list).
    Read moreShow less

    OMO is sold on both, Buy Now Pay Later is MetaTrader 5 only, and Prediction Markets are Match Trader only.

  • !
    The published price on every card is the list price - Maven shows a second, starred figure that is the price with a coupon.
    Read moreShow less

    Since mid-October the site splits visitors at random between two codes (an A/B test): DIAMOND (5% off) by default and ROCKET (10% off) for the rest, on Standard, Instant, Mini and Predictions cards; OMO cards use OMO and Buy Now Pay Later has none.

    The $50k 2-Step is $220 list, $209 with DIAMOND and $198 with ROCKET. ETERNAL, the 10% code before that, is no longer shown anywhere on the site.

  • !
    Largest account you can BUY is $100k - there is no $200k or $500k tier despite what several aggregator listings show - but a funded account scales to $1,000,000 at +25% per step (10% profit over 4 months, 2.5% a month, with at least one payout a month).
  • !
    Buyback: lose a funded account and you can buy it straight back through a support ticket instead of re-running a challenge - $200 ($2k) / $400 ($5k) / $750 ($10k) / $1,400 ($20k) / $3,500 ($50k) / $6,000 ($100k).
  • !
    The Mini is a single-payout product on a 70% split (not 80%): the account lives only 24 hours from your first trade, and inside that window you must reach the 3% minimum profit, keep the consistency score at 15% or below (measured on your highest trade, tighter than Instant) and submit your one payout request - once the 24 hours have passed no withdrawal can be made.
    Read moreShow less

    You may hold only ONE trade at a time, and profit from any trade closed inside 150 seconds is removed (losses stand). A separate PROMOTIONAL Mini earned through Zealy pays only a 20% split with a 20% consistency score.

  • !
    OMO's own withdrawal ladder sits on top of everything else: your first payout is capped at 6% of the initial balance and your second at 8%, both before the split, uncapped after that.
    Read moreShow less

    OMO also runs on a 180-day clock across both phases combined, needs 4 profitable days in every phase including the funded stage, and on the funded account removes the profit from any trade closed inside 150 seconds.

  • !
    Instant's consistency is measured on your biggest winning DAY, not your biggest trade: (biggest winning day / total profit) x 100 must sit at or below 20% before you can withdraw.
  • !
    The OMO code beats its own headline on the two smallest tiers: it is a true 40% off from $10k up ($472 -> $284 on the $100k), but the $2k and $5k tiers come down $19 -> $9 and $32 -> $15, which is closer to 53% off.
  • !
    Prediction Markets are a separate product line (One-Step Essential and One-Step Elite, $5k-$100k, Match Trader only) on a 70% split with a 9% target, no daily drawdown limit, no minimum days, no consistency rule and no news restriction - but profit from any one question is capped at 3% of the starting balance and anything above it is removed.
    Read moreShow less

    The only published difference between the two tiers is the drawdown model: One-Step Essential uses a trailing drawdown, One-Step Elite a static one (5% max loss in Phase 1 and 8% funded on both), and Elite costs roughly 65% more for it.

  • !
    Challenge fees are "refundable on the third withdrawal" - the fee comes back, add-ons included, but only after you have been paid out three times.
    Read moreShow less

    On Buy Now Pay Later the refund covers everything you paid (the $5, the activation fee and any add-ons); the single-payout Instant Mini is excluded.

  • !
    Payout rails are country-dependent: Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana can be paid by direct bank transfer or in crypto (USDT-BSC or USDC-ERC20); every other country is paid in the same crypto or through Rise Pay.
  • !
    Instant and Instant Mini carry a 1% Max Risk rule on top of the drawdown limits: if your open (floating) loss - Balance minus Equity - goes past 1% of the current balance, the account is breached.
    Read moreShow less

    On a $10,000 account $100 of open loss is the limit and $101 is a breach. It is measured on the current balance, not trailed from your equity peak. Maven's Terms also let it impose a 1% risk rule on any account at its discretion.

  • !
    Excessive scalping is banned on every program: at least 50% of your trades must be held for 60 seconds or longer (exactly 60 seconds counts). OMO funded accounts and the Mini add their own 150-second rule on top.

How to play Maven

Model-specific observations about their rules and mechanics. Educational only — not trading or investment advice.

Cheapest 2-step pricing among major forex firms ($220 for $50k: $198 with ROCKET or $209 with DIAMOND, the two codes Maven is A/B-testing), on one price list for both platforms Maven sells (MT5 and Match Trader).

Read moreShow less

The firm-wide EA ban - confirmed again in Maven's own FAQ - makes this a non-starter for automated strategies, and copy trading is only allowed by hand between your own accounts.

Manual traders should match the program to their drawdown tolerance: 5% trailing on 1-step, 8% static on 2-step, 3% on 3-step and Instant.

Before scaling, price in the Overflow cap: at most $10,000 of profit (before the split) per rolling 30 days can be withdrawn, combined across all your Standard, Instant and Buy Now Pay Later accounts, and anything above it is forfeited.

Maven — frequently asked questions

Does Maven have a discount code?

Yes — use code ROCKET for 10% off Standard, Instant, Mini and Predictions challenges at checkout. You can also try DIAMOND. Firms rotate codes, so test it before paying; if it fails, check our codes page for the latest.

Is Maven legit and safe?

Trustpilot has suspended Maven's score for a breach of its guidelines and removed a number of fake reviews, so no star rating is shown at all; 5,220 reviews remain on file. PropFirmMatch scored it 4.2/5 across 791 reviews at our last snapshot. That is a reason to read the rules closely, not proof of fraud - we re-verified Maven's published rules and pricing on 2026-11-04. As with any prop firm, read the current rules and payout terms before buying, and start with a smaller account size.

Does Maven have a consistency rule?

Instant: 20% or below, calculated (biggest winning day / total profit) x 100, required to withdraw. Mini: 15% max based on your highest trade. Buy Now Pay Later funded: 20% before each withdrawal. Standard 1/2/3-step, OMO and Prediction Markets: no consistency rule.

What is Maven's profit split?

Maven's profit split is 80% (90% with add-on).

How fast does Maven pay out?

Standard 1/2/3-Step and OMO: first payout request 10 business days after your first funded trade, each later cycle starting with the first trade after the previous payout; Buy Now Pay Later and Instant: on demand once the conditions are met; Mini: one payout request only, inside the 24 hours that start with your first trade.
