Clickfunded review: the reward buffer and the split

Clickfunded suits forex traders who can clear a 6% target inside a 3% loss limit on TradeLocker and then leave much of each gain on the account. It is a poor fit for anyone who treats the advertised 100% reward split as a sum that can leave in one request. The October 2026 terms cap each request at 60% of eligible profit, up to a size-based reward cap. One clause sets a $180,000 instant account's minimum balance at $101,800 and another at $181,800, while the homepage sells different instant sizes.
