- Instruments
- Crypto, Indices, Metals, Energies
Crypto pairs (e.g. BTCUSD) plus price trackers on the Nasdaq 100 (XYZ100), S&P 500, gold, silver, copper, WTI, Brent and natural gas; these are priced via Hyperliquid and confer no ownership of the underlying. Trading fee per order 0.04% (crypto) or 0.02% (non-crypto, since 29 Oct 2026); swap 0.033% per day. Maximum position size per instrument on the symbols page.
breakoutprop.com - Identity check (KYC)
- after passing the evaluation
No KYC to buy or trade the evaluation. Mandatory after passing, before the “funded” account is activated and payouts are possible. Via SumSub: ID, selfie and proof of residence; without VPN. Breakout recommends submitting KYC at registration, because a rejection only refunds the evaluations active at that time.
breakoutprop.com - Paying for the challenge
- Card, Crypto
Credit and debit card in USD plus selected cryptocurrencies via a payment processor; an existing payout balance can be applied. One help article also names PayPal, the Program Rules and the payment-options article do not. Via the Kraken interface its payment methods apply.
breakoutprop.com - Payout methods
- Crypto
USDC on the Ethereum network (ERC-20) to the trader's own wallet only, paid by Payward Oceanic Ltd.
breakoutprop.com - Refunds
- Evaluation fees are non-refundable; the site's disclosures phrase it as non-refundable once trading begins. Exception: if KYC is rejected, all evaluations active at that time are refunded, completed ones are not; portions paid from the payout balance go back to that balance. No reset after a breach, only a new purchase.breakoutprop.com

Red Flags & Green Flags
Red Flag or Green Flag? Every call follows fixed criteria and shows its source. What our sources cannot answer stays "Unclear". Flags are never added up – there is no score.
- Unclear
Is the firm on a regulator's warning list?
A documented check against the warning lists is not on record for this firm yet.
- Unclear
Was there a documented payout stop, sales stop or closure (24 months)?
No such event is documented in our sources. That is not proof there was none.
- Unclear
Do rule changes apply to new purchases only?
No dated rule change with a cut-off is recorded for this firm yet.
- Green Flag
Rules fully visible without logging in.
Target, daily loss and max loss of every programme on sale are on the firm's public pages.
breakoutprop.com - Unclear
Does the firm name its operating company with seat and registration number?
We did not find a registration number for the operating company on the pages fetched.
- Green Flag
Discloses whether accounts are simulated or live.
Per Breakout, the evaluation and the “funded” account run on simulated capital; fees only reduce the demo balance. Per the Funded Trader Agreement, Payward Oceanic may record trade ideas as internal book entries (B-Book) or route them to the market for its own account (A-Book); the trader holds no positions and cannot see which method is used.
intercom.help - Green Flag
Country exclusions and KYC timing are visible before buying.
Country list public (25 countries excluded). KYC: No KYC to buy or trade the evaluation. Mandatory after passing, before the “funded” account is activated and payouts are possible. Via SumSub: ID, selfie and proof of residence; without VPN. Breakout recommends submitting KYC at registration, because a rejection only refunds the evaluations active at that time.

- Green Flag
Refund terms are public.
Evaluation fees are non-refundable; the site's disclosures phrase it as non-refundable once trading begins. Exception: if KYC is rejected, all evaluations active at that time are refunded, completed ones are not; portions paid from the payout balance go back to that balance. No reset after a breach, only a new purchase.
breakoutprop.com - Unclear
Do the terms carry a date or version?
We do not record the date or version of the terms as a field yet.
The criteria
The criteria come from our transparency check. A Red Flag needs a documented fact – a missing item is never a Red Flag.
Red Flag
- Named on an official regulator warning list (exact name match). A listing is not proof of wrongdoing.
- Documented payout stop, sales stop or closure (firm or group company) in the last 24 months.
- Documented retroactive rule change for accounts already bought, in the last 24 months.
- Rules not fully visible without logging in or buying.
- No operating company with name and seat named in the terms.
Green Flag
- Rules fully visible without logging in.
- Operating company published with name, seat and registration number.
- Terms carry a date or version.
- Rule changes apply to new purchases only, with a cut-off date; no documented retroactive change in 24 months.
- Country exclusions and KYC timing are visible before buying.
- Payouts possible in other ways than crypto.
- Discloses whether accounts are simulated or live.
- Refund terms are public.
We show the firm's age as a fact, not as a flag.

Data gaps
We looked for these and did not find them on the firm's pages, or could not fetch them automatically. So they show as "–", never as 0.
Neither the Program Rules, the agreements nor the help centre address EAs, bots or API trading. Third-party or off-the-shelf strategies marketed to pass are prohibited.

No scaling plan stated; the cap is USD 200,000 across all “funded” accounts.

Breakout offers no reset; after a breach a new purchase is needed. So no reset fee recorded.

Spark (USD 50,000, target USD 3,000, trailing loss USD 1,500, no daily limit, fee USD 139) is sold out per its product page ("Spark is closed for now") and therefore not recorded as an on-sale programme.

Annex B of the Evaluation Agreement describes a separate product "Kraken Consumer Prop" via the Kraken app only (sizes USD 1,000 to 10,000, own fees, market orders only, no hedging). Whether and where it is currently sold could not be confirmed on breakoutprop.com; not recorded as a programme. Per Annex B, Kraken Pro Prop uses the same programmes and fees as above.

The former 2-Step evaluation (4% daily limit, 6% static max loss) is no longer sold per the help centre; existing accounts continue under the rules in force at purchase. Breakout states neither the former prices nor the date sales ended, so it is not recorded as a discontinued programme.
