Fund Your Edge review: homepage tile versus the payout check
Fund Your Edge suits a futures trader who can pass a one-step simulated evaluation, accept an end-of-day max-loss lock at the starting balance plus $100, and keep a 90% split. Prime suits a trader who will hold the largest day to 40% of cycle profit before a withdrawal. Clear suits a trader who can bank five qualifying green days under a cap that stays flat. The homepage tile “No Consistency Rule” misstates those funded checks, and the about page’s payout claim has no audit beside it.
