UK-based proprietary trading firm Global Forex Funds (GFF) has announced the launch of its new Private Challenge, offering traders a simplified, trader-friendly one-phase evaluation model. With features like 15% max drawdown, 8% profit target, leverage up to 1:100, and a free retry, the firm is positioning itself as one of the most accessible and transparent prop options in the UK.
A Simpler Way to Get Funded
Unlike many one-step challenges that place strict constraints on traders, GFF’s Private Challenge takes a different approach:
- Max Drawdown: 15%
- Profit Target: 8%
- Minimum Trading Days: 1
- Leverage: Up to 1:100
- Free Retry included
- Bi-weekly withdrawals
- No weekend restrictions
- Capital up to $400,000
“Most one-step prop firm challenges are designed to be hard to pass,” said Sam, CEO at Global Forex Funds. “We took a different route. This is built to support disciplined traders, not trap them.”
Three Routes to Funding
GFF offers three ways for traders to access capital:
- Economy Challenge: Classic two-step evaluation
- Instant Funding: Skip the challenge and start with a funded account
- Private Challenge: A middle ground, balancing risk and accessibility
The Private Challenge stands out for combining high drawdown flexibility with a low target, creating a more achievable path to funding for consistent, rule-based traders.
Why It Matters for Prop Traders
GFF’s approach addresses a key criticism in the prop trading space: the lack of realism in many evaluation models. Their latest offering creates a fairer environment while maintaining accountability and performance-based progression. Key benefits include:
- Accessible conditions that favor real trading skills over rigid rules
- Fast-track funding with up to 90% profit split
- A modern tech stack, including access to Platform 5, a high-performance trading terminal
- Strong affiliate tools for partners, with long cookie windows and smart tracking
