Head to head · 33 criteria compared Across pricing, rules and payout terms, Funded Trading Plus takes the lead (7 against 6). Top One Futures remains the cheaper way in, so the choice is not automatic.
A London firm founded in late 2021 and bought by Instant Funding in May 2026, Funded Trading Plus pays every 7 days on its 1-Step Express and Instant programs, with the split rising from 80 to 100% and scaling up to $5 million. The catch: intraday trailing drawdown on both, and a Trustpilot score the platform has pulled.
Criteria won: 7 / 33

Choose Funded Trading Plus if… Choose Top One Futures if… Funded Trading Plus has been running since 2021, 4 years longer than Top One Futures. Our trust pillar scores them 74/100 and 71/100, which weighs age, corporate transparency and public payout evidence. In an industry with no financial regulator overseeing these evaluations, longevity and a verifiable payout history are the closest thing to a guarantee.
Top One Futures opens at $39 against $89 for Funded Trading Plus, a substantial gap on the smallest account. At the reference size of 100 K the comparison is $549 for Funded Trading Plus against $39 for Top One Futures. The headline fee is rarely the real cost, though: what matters is the price of a reset after a failed attempt, whether the fee comes back on the first payout, and whether an activation fee appears when you move to a funded account. Compare those three lines in the table above before deciding on price alone.
Funded Trading Plus applies a trailing intraday drawdown capped at 6 %, with a 4 % daily limit. Top One Futures applies a trailing (end of day) drawdown. This is the single most consequential difference between the two. A static drawdown is measured once, from the starting balance, and never moves; a trailing drawdown follows your equity upward, so a winning streak raises the floor you can no longer fall below. Intraday trailing is stricter still, because it tracks unrealised peaks reached inside the session — profit you never actually banked can permanently raise your loss threshold.
Funded Trading Plus keeps 100 % of profits, then pays Every 7 days on 1-Step Express and Instant; every 10 days on 2-Step Classic. Top One Futures keeps 90 % of profits, then pays Daily on Elite Daily, in 5-day cycles on the other programmes. Payout frequency deserves as much attention as the split itself: a slightly lower share paid every two weeks compounds faster than a headline percentage locked behind a monthly cycle and a long first-withdrawal delay.
Funded Trading Plus is the only one of the two to offer mt5, ctrader, dxtrade, match-trader. Top One Futures covers tradingview, tradovate, ninjatrader, which its rival does not. Platform choice is not cosmetic: order execution, available order types and the reliability of your automation all depend on it, and switching mid-evaluation is rarely possible.
