Our verdict

Lark Funding suits a trader who values simple rules, since the 1-Step asks for a single 10% target with a 5% daily loss and 7% static maximum loss, no minimum trading days, no consistency rule and no news restrictions. The 3-Step route is cheaper at $200 for $10,000 and $370 for $100,000, but it caps total risk at only 5% and pays 80% against 90% on instant accounts. Instant funding is expensive at $4,500 for $100,000, and every withdrawal carries a $40 flat processing fee with a $100 minimum. The Lark Base monthly reward, from $50 at $10,000 to $1,000 at $200,000, is a real plus for traders who can stay inside a 3.5% drawdown and log 3 profitable days each month.

FAQ

What does a Lark Funding challenge cost?The 1-Step costs $200 for $10,000, $300 for $25,000, $500 for $50,000, $800 for $100,000 and $1,500 for $200,000 as a one-time fee. The 3-Step costs $200 for $10,000 and $15,000 and $370 for $100,000, and instant funding costs $4,500 for $100,000.

What are the 1-Step and 3-Step rules?The 1-Step asks for 10% once, with a 5% daily loss and 7% static maximum loss. The 3-Step asks for 5%, then 4%, then 3%, with a 5% static maximum loss and no published daily loss limit. Neither route has minimum trading days or a time limit.

How does instant funding work?Instant accounts skip evaluation entirely, pay a 90% split and allow on demand first payouts, then payouts every 30 days. The 8% maximum loss trails at first and becomes static at the starting balance after the first withdrawal or once 8% in gains is reached, and withdrawing all profit breaches the account.

Can I trade around news events?Yes. The firm states no news restrictions, so traders may hold through economic releases and earnings events.

Can I hold positions over the weekend?No. Weekend holding is not allowed.

Are expert advisors and copy trading allowed?Yes, expert advisors are allowed.

When do payouts happen, and what do they cost?Evaluation routes pay every 14 days, weekly with an add-on, and the first payout follows a 14-day cycle. The minimum payout is $100 and a $40 flat processing fee applies to withdrawals, which run through Riseworks.

What is the Lark Base monthly reward?Eligible traders earn a fixed monthly Lark Base reward by keeping overall drawdown better than 3.5% and recording at least 3 profitable days of 0.5% or more in each 30-day period. Rewards run from $50 at $10,000 to $1,000 at $200,000 before the $40 processing fee, and missing a month breaks the streak.
