RebelsFunding is a prop trading firm from Slovakia (Europe). They started in 2023. The company is run by Marek Soska, who has traded forex for over 15 years.
A prop firm gives you fake money to trade with. If you do well, they give you real money to trade. You keep a percentage of the profits you make.
Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Diamond
Starts at just $25
Fake money, real charts
Make profit without breaking the rules
Trade with their money
All profits you make are largely yours to keep
100–200% refund on your challenge fee
You risk nothing except the small fee. If you lose, you only lost $25–$890. If you win, you can manage up to $640,000.
Most firms say "pass in 30 days or you fail." RebelsFunding says "take as long as you want." You could take 6 months or even a year. They don't care.
If you pay $50 for a challenge, they give you back $100 when you pass. That's double your money before you even start trading for profit.
At $25, this is one of the cheapest prop firms anywhere. Even if you fail, you only lost $25.
RebelsFunding offers 5 different ways to get funded. Each one works for different types of traders.
This is the longest path but also the easiest. You pass 4 phases, then get funded.
How It Works: Phase 1: Make 5% profit → Phase 2: Make 5% profit → Phase 3: Make 5% profit → Phase 4: Make 5% profit → Get Funded: Start earning 80–90% of profits
Why Choose Copper: The 10% maximum loss is very forgiving. If you start with $10,000, you can lose up to $1,000 before you fail. That's a lot of room for mistakes. The 5% profit target is easy — making $500 on a $10,000 account takes most traders 1–4 weeks.
| Account Size | Fee | 200% Refund Amount |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | €26 (~$28) | €52 (~$56) |
| $10,000 | €40 (~$43) | €80 (~$86) |
| $20,000 | €70 (~$76) | €140 (~$152) |
| $40,000 | €123 (~$134) | €246 (~$268) |
| $80,000 | €236 (~$257) | €472 (~$514) |
| $160,000 | €455 (~$495) | €910 (~$990) |
| $320,000 | €855 (~$931) | €1,710 (~$1,862) |
Profit Split: Start at 80% → After first scale-up: 90%
Best For: Complete beginners, swing traders who hold positions for days, anyone who wants maximum safety.
Not For: Impatient traders (4 phases takes time), traders who want fast funding.
Skip one phase compared to Copper. You pass 3 phases, then get funded.
Why Choose Bronze: One less phase than Copper. Get funded faster. But you need to make 5 trades per phase instead of 4.
| Account Size | Fee | 150% Refund Amount |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | €38 (~$41) | €57 (~$62) |
| $10,000 | €58 (~$63) | €87 (~$95) |
| $20,000 | €95 (~$103) | €142.50 (~$155) |
| $40,000 | €163 (~$177) | €244.50 (~$266) |
| $80,000 | €311 (~$339) | €466.50 (~$508) |
| $160,000 | €609 (~$663) | €913.50 (~$995) |
Profit Split: Start at 80% → After first scale-up: 90%
Best For: Traders with some experience, those who want one less phase than Copper, budget-conscious traders (lower fees than Silver/Gold).
Not For: Absolute beginners (5 trades minimum is more than Copper).
This is the standard challenge. Two phases, then funded.
Why Choose Silver: This matches most prop firms. Two phases is industry standard. The 8% first target is higher than Copper/Bronze (5%), but you get funded faster.
| Account Size | Fee | 100% Refund Amount |
|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | €32 (~$35) | €32 (~$35) |
| $5,000 | €46 (~$50) | €46 (~$50) |
| $10,000 | €73 (~$79) | €73 (~$79) |
| $20,000 | €118 (~$128) | €118 (~$128) |
| $40,000 | €209 (~$228) | €209 (~$228) |
| $80,000 | €382 (~$416) | €382 (~$416) |
Profit Split: Start at 75% → After first scale-up: 90%
Best For: Intermediate traders, those who can hit 8% without too much risk, traders who want industry-standard 2-phase.
Not For: Beginners (8% is harder than 5%), conservative traders (lower starting profit split of 75%).
Fast track. One phase only, then funded.
Why Choose Gold: Skip straight to funding after one 10% profit. But the rules are stricter — 6% max loss vs 10% on others, 4% daily loss vs 5% on others.
| Account Size | Fee | 100% Refund Amount |
|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | €46 (~$50) | €46 (~$50) |
| $5,000 | €64 (~$70) | €64 (~$70) |
| $10,000 | €91 (~$99) | €91 (~$99) |
| $20,000 | €146 (~$159) | €146 (~$159) |
| $40,000 | €255 (~$278) | €255 (~$278) |
Profit Split: Start at 75% → After first scale-up: 90%
Best For: Experienced traders, confident traders who can hit 10% safely, those who want the fastest path to funding.
Not For: Beginners (10% target + strict rules = hard), traders who need room for mistakes (only 6% max loss).
Skip the challenge completely. Get funded immediately.
How It Works: Pay fee → Get funded account same day → No phases to pass → Start trading for profit immediately → Must make 10% profit for first payout → After first payout, only need 5% for next payouts.
Start with $20,000 account → Make 10% profit ($2,000) → Account scales to $32,000 → You keep the $2,000 profit → Now trade on $32,000 account. Every time you hit 10% profit, your account size increases automatically.

| $20,000 | €650 (~$708) | ✅ Yes (100%) |
Profit Split: Fixed 75% (does NOT increase to 90%)
Best For: Experienced traders who hate challenges, those who want immediate access, traders confident they can hit 10%.
Not For: Beginners (no practice phases, straight to real trading), budget traders (most expensive fees), those who want 90% profit split (Diamond stays at 75%).

Copper & Bronze: Refund comes with your first payout after getting funded.
Silver, Gold, Diamond: Refund comes with your first payout.
You pay €40 for Copper $10,000 → Pass all 4 phases → Get funded → Make $500 profit (your 80% = $400) → Request first payout → RebelsFunding sends you $400 + €80 refund (200%) → Total received: $400 + €80 = approximately $487
Trading Commissions: $2 per $100,000 traded (Forex, Commodities, Indices, Crypto). Example: If you trade 1 lot ($100,000) of EUR/USD, you pay $2 commission.
No Hidden Fees:
The only thing you pay is the one-time challenge fee and the small trading commission.
Every program has rules you must follow. Break a rule = fail the challenge. Here are all the rules explained in simple English.
You must make a certain percentage of profit to pass each phase.
5% target = must reach $10,500 | 8% target = must reach $10,800 | 10% target = must reach $11,000
Only closed trades count. If you have a trade open with $300 profit, that doesn't count until you close it.
This is the most important rule. Your account balance can never drop below a certain point.
Starting balance: $10,000 → Maximum loss (10%): $1,000 → Your balance can NEVER go below: $9,000
If your balance hits $8,999 even for one second, your account fails immediately. No warnings. No second chances.
This includes open trades (floating losses). If your equity drops below the threshold even temporarily due to an open trade, your account is closed instantly.
You can only lose a certain amount in one day.
When Does It Reset? Every day at 00:00 GMT (midnight in London time). The daily limit is based on your balance at midnight the previous day.
Start day at $10,000 (daily limit = $500) → Make $400 profit (balance now $10,400) → Then lose $600 → Did you break the daily limit? YES. Losing $600 breaks the rule even though your balance is still above $10,000.
You must trade a certain number of times before you can pass each phase.
What Counts as a Trade? You must open AND close a position. It doesn't matter if you profit or lose. Just opening and closing counts as 1 trade. Lot size doesn't matter — 0.01 lots still counts as a trade. Trades don't need to be profitable.
Trade 1: +$100 | Trade 2: −$50 | Trade 3: +$200 | Trade 4: +$300
Total profit: $550 (5.5% on $10K account) | Total trades: 4 | Result: You pass Phase 1 ✅
RebelsFunding does NOT allow trading bots or Expert Advisors (EAs). All trades must be placed manually by you. If they detect bot trading, your account gets terminated.
This rule applies to ALL programs — Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond without exception.
Can you trade during major news events?
RebelsFunding allows news trading. However, they warn about slippage (order fills at a worse price), widened spreads (costs more to enter), and fast price movements.
They recommend beginners avoid trading during: U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), Federal Reserve announcements (FOMC), and Inflation data (CPI). But it's NOT against the rules. You CAN trade news if you want.
Can you hold trades over the weekend?
If you're trading Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other crypto, you MUST close all positions before the weekend. If you don't, your account may be terminated. For forex, indices, and commodities, you can hold positions Friday night through Sunday night without problems.
Can you copy trades from other people?
You cannot copy trades from signal providers, friends, or anyone else. All trades must come from your own analysis.

How much money do you keep when you make profit? RebelsFunding gives you different percentages depending on your program and whether you've scaled.
| Program | Your Share | RebelsFunding's Share | After Scaling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper | 80% | 20% | 90% |
| Bronze | 80% | 20% | 90% |
| Silver | 75% | 25% | 90% |
| Gold | 75% | 25% | 90% |
| Diamond | 75% | 25% | 75% (never changes) |
Account: $10,000 | Profit: $1,000
Your share (80%): $800
RebelsFunding's share (20%): $200
Account: $10,000 | Profit: $1,000
Your share (90%): $900
RebelsFunding's share (10%): $100
Account: $10,000 | Your profit: $1,000 | Your share (75%): $750 | RebelsFunding's share (25%): $250. Diamond never increases to 90%.
RebelsFunding lets you grow your account over time. This is called "scaling."
Requirements: Be profitable for 2 out of last 3 months + Average 15% return over those 3 months.
Reward: Account size increases by 25% of initial size + Profit split increases to 90%.
Example: $100,000 account scales to $125,000. Next 3 months → $150,000 → $175,000 and so on.
Requirements: Be profitable for 2 out of last 3 months + EITHER average 15% return over 3 months OR make 5% each month for 3 months straight.
The "OR" option is easier — just make 5% every month for 3 months.
Requirements: Be profitable for 2 out of last 4 months (longer than Copper/Bronze) + Average 15% return over those 4 months.
Diamond is different. Every time you hit 10% profit, your account automatically scales.
Start: $20,000 → Make 10% ($2,000 profit) → Account scales to $32,000 → You keep the $2,000 → Make another 10% ($3,200 profit) → Account scales to $51,200 → You keep the $3,200. And so on up to $40,000 maximum.
| Program | Starting Max Account | Max After Scaling | Scaling Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper | $320,000 | $640,000 | +25% every 3 months |
| Bronze | $160,000 | $320,000 | +25% every 3 months |
| Silver | $80,000 | $160,000 | +25% every 4 months |
| Gold | $40,000 | $80,000 | +25% every 4 months |
| Diamond | $20,000 | $40,000 | Auto at each 10% profit |
RebelsFunding uses their own trading platform called RF-Trader. This is NOT MetaTrader 4 or 5.
RF-Trader is a custom platform built by RebelsFunding and FDCTech. It's based on TradingView charts.
Where You Can Use It:
The platform uses TradingView charting. If you've used TradingView before, you'll recognize the look immediately.
Before you open a trade, you can see how much money you'll risk, what lot size to use, where to put your stop loss, and how much profit you'll make at your target.
Your challenge progress shows right on the platform — current profit %, distance to max loss, daily loss remaining, trades made, and how much more profit you need.
Place trades with one click. No forms or confirmations. Real-time BID and ASK prices so you know exactly what you'll get.
| Feature | RF-Trader | MT4/MT5 |
|---|---|---|
| TradingView Charts | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (basic charts) |
| Built-In Risk Calculator | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Challenge Progress Dashboard | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| One-Click Trading | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Expert Advisors (Bots) | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Custom Indicators | ⚠️ Limited | ✅ Thousands |
| Mobile App | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Web Version | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
Main Difference: RF-Trader is designed specifically for prop trading challenges — it shows your progress and helps you manage risk. MT4/MT5 are general platforms used by millions with more features but no built-in challenge tracking.
| Feature | Supported? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MT4 | ❌ No | RebelsFunding uses only RF-Trader |
| MT5 | ❌ No | Not available |
| cTrader | ❌ No | Only RF-Trader supported |
| TradingView Integration | ✅ Yes | RF-Trader is BUILT on TradingView charts |
| Expert Advisors (EAs) | ❌ No | Manual trading only, no bots allowed |
MetaTrader recently banned many prop firms from using their platforms. RebelsFunding built RF-Trader to avoid this problem. Benefits: can't be banned by MetaQuotes, built specifically for prop trading, shows challenge progress in real-time, risk calculator built-in. Drawbacks: less familiar than MT4/MT5, no Expert Advisors, fewer custom indicators, smaller community support.
If you've never used RF-Trader, expect 1–3 days to get comfortable. The platform is simpler than MT4/MT5 in many ways. RebelsFunding provides: ✅ Video tutorials, ✅ Platform manual, ✅ Live support chat, ✅ 14-day free trial to practice.

Getting your money from RebelsFunding is simple. Here's exactly how it works.
Copper: 4 phases | Bronze: 3 phases | Silver: 2 phases | Gold: 1 phase | Diamond: No phases (instant funded)
Once you pass all phases, RebelsFunding creates your funded account. Takes 1–3 business days. You receive new login credentials, email confirmation, and trading instructions.
Trade on your funded account following the same risk rules: stay within max loss limit, daily loss limit (if applicable), and make minimum trades for payout eligibility.
First Payout (Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold): 14 calendar days from first trade on funded account + account must be in profit + no open positions + no pending orders.
First Payout (Diamond): Hit 10% profit target + minimum 5 trades + no open positions.
Subsequent Payouts (All): Every 14 calendar days.
Log into your RebelsFunding dashboard → Go to "Payouts" section → Click "Request Payout" → Confirm the amount → Submit request.
They verify: no rule violations, all trades were manual, no prohibited strategies.
Rise (1–2 days), Cryptocurrency (same day or next day), Bank Transfer (3–5 business days), PayPal (1–2 days), Wise (1–3 days).
Fastest: Cryptocurrency (12–24 hours) | Slowest: Bank transfer (3–5 days)
Day 1: Pass Phase 4 → Day 3: Funded account activated → Day 4: First trade made → Day 18: 14 days passed, eligible for first payout → Day 18: Request payout ($800 profit) → Day 20: RebelsFunding approves → Day 21: Payment sent via crypto → Day 22: Money in wallet. Total from passing to cash: ~19 days.
| Program | Refund % | Example (€40 fee) | When Paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper | 200% | €80 back | With first payout |
| Bronze | 150% | €60 back | With first payout |

Here are the 8 biggest reasons to choose RebelsFunding.
You can take weeks, months, or even years to pass challenges. Most prop firms give you 30, 60, or 90 days. RebelsFunding has ZERO time limits.
Why It Matters: No pressure to rush. Perfect for swing traders who hold positions for days. Wait for perfect setups instead of forcing trades. Can trade around your job/life schedule. If you have a losing month, just pause and restart when ready.
You start a Copper challenge in January. You trade carefully, only taking high-probability setups. By June (6 months later), you've completed all 4 phases. Most other firms would have expired your account after 60–90 days.
With Copper, you get back DOUBLE your fee. With Bronze, you get back 150%. No other major prop firm does this. Most refund 100% at best. Some don't refund at all.
You pay €100 for a Copper challenge. When you pass and get your first payout, RebelsFunding gives you back €200. That's €100 profit before you even count your trading profits.
At €26 (~$28), Copper is one of the cheapest prop firm challenges anywhere.
| Firm | Cost for $10K Account |
|---|---|
| FTMO | €155 (~$169) |
| FundedNext | $119 |
| FundingPips | $59 |
| RebelsFunding (Copper) | €40 (~$43) |
You try Copper $5K three times (€26 × 3 = €78). Pass on third attempt. Get back €52 refund (200% of €26). Net cost: ~$29 total. Most firms charge $169 for ONE attempt.
You're not forced into one challenge type. Pick what fits your style:
Once you scale your account, you keep 90% of all future profits. Many firms cap at 80% or 85%.
At 80%: You keep $8,000 | At 90%: You keep $9,000 | That's $1,000 more per month at 90% split — $12,000 more per year.
Copper can scale all the way to $640,000 in virtual capital. Few firms allow this much scaling. Most cap at $200K–$400K.
Month 3: $62,500 → Month 6: $75,000 → Month 9: $87,500 → Month 12: $100,000 → Eventually: $640,000. At $640,000 with 5% monthly profit ($32,000) at 90% split = $28,800/month = $346,000/year.
First payout after 14 days. Then every 14 days. Many firms make you wait 30 days minimum.
RebelsFunding (14 days): Day 1: Funded → Day 15: 1st payout → Day 29: 2nd → Day 43: 3rd → Day 57: 4th payout
Monthly payouts: Day 1: Funded → Day 30: 1st → Day 60: 2nd → Day 90: 3rd → Day 120: 4th payout. You get your 4th payout 63 days faster with RebelsFunding.
28 forex pairs and 4 metals have no overnight interest charges. Many firms charge $5–$20 per night for holding positions.
Hold EUR/USD for 5 nights. With swap charges: $7/night × 5 = $35 in fees. Swap-free: $0. Over a month of swing trading, this can save you $200–$500.
No firm is perfect. Here are the 4 main problems with RebelsFunding.
You MUST use RF-Trader. MetaTrader is not an option. If you've spent years learning MT4/MT5, you'll need to learn a completely new platform.
Why It's a Problem: Learning curve (1–3 days minimum), no Expert Advisors, smaller community (fewer YouTube tutorials), less custom indicators, muscle memory from MT4/MT5 doesn't transfer.
Who This Hurts: Traders who use MT4/MT5 exclusively, EA users, traders with custom indicators built for MT, traders who don't want to learn new software.
Workaround: Use TradingView or MT4/MT5 for ANALYSIS, then place trades manually on RF-Trader. But this adds extra steps.
All trading must be manual. No bots, no automated systems, no EAs. Even if RF-Trader supported EAs, RebelsFunding's rules prohibit them.
Why It's a Problem: Traders who rely on bots can't participate, removes automation, more time-intensive, can't run strategies 24/7.
Who This Hurts: EA traders, algorithmic traders, copy traders using automated systems, anyone who prefers passive trading.
No Workaround: If you want to use bots, you CANNOT use RebelsFunding. Firms that allow EAs: FTMO, FundedNext, The5%ers.
You must close all crypto positions before the weekend. If you don't, your account can be terminated. Crypto markets trade 24/7 — other firms allow weekend crypto trading. RebelsFunding does not.
Why It's a Problem: Crypto often moves most on weekends, limits crypto strategies, forces you to close positions you'd rather hold, big weekend moves = missed opportunities.
Partial Workaround: Trade forex or indices instead — weekend holding IS allowed on these. But if you specifically want to trade crypto, this restriction hurts.
You must make 4–8 trades (depending on program) before you can pass each phase or get payouts. This forces you to trade even when there are no good setups.
Why It's a Problem: Encourages overtrading, forces trades on bad setups, goes against "quality over quantity" principle, can cause unnecessary losses.
Who This Hurts: Selective traders who only take 1–2 trades per week, position traders, "sniper" traders who wait for perfect setups.
Example of the Problem: You're on Copper Phase 1. You've made 3 trades and hit the 5% profit target. But you need 4 trades minimum to pass. No good setups for a week — so you force a trade. It loses. Now you're at 4% profit. The minimum trade rule forced a bad trade.

RebelsFunding brings something very different to prop trading: unlimited time and the highest fee refunds in the industry. The right choice for patient, manual traders.
If you're new to prop trading: Start with the free trial. Test RF-Trader for 14 days. If you like it, buy the Copper €26 challenge. You risk almost nothing.
If you're experienced: Consider Gold (1 phase, fast funding) or Diamond (instant funding). The stricter rules won't bother you if you're skilled.
If you use bots: Skip RebelsFunding entirely. Go to FTMO, FundedNext, or FundingPips instead.
If you're patient and manual: RebelsFunding is one of the best options available. The no-deadline structure is worth the platform trade-off.
Industry estimates suggest 5–15% of traders pass on their first attempt. Most fail and lose their challenge fee. Only purchase if you can afford to lose the entire fee.
All RebelsFunding accounts — including funded accounts — use simulated/virtual funds. You are never trading real markets or holding real positions.
If your account is terminated for rule violations, there is no formal appeals process. No refund. Termination is permanent and immediate.
