Our verdict

The Trading Pit has no displayed TrustScore because Trustpilot has placed a fake-review warning on its brand-wide profile (1,084 reviews, mostly CFD), where praise for clear rules and quick payouts sits beside 1-star reports of payouts denied for account rolling or alleged strategy abuse.

Summary

The Trading Pit is a Liechtenstein-based evaluation firm with an office in Cyprus. Its Futures Prime challenge is a one-phase, one-time purchase in 50K, 100K and 150K sizes with a 30-day window. The drawdown trails the end-of-day balance until it reaches the starting balance. A daily pause closes positions without failing the account, and a 40% consistency rule raises the target rather than breaching you. Funded Prime accounts pay an 80% split after five $150 days, capped at 50% of profit per request. Futures Instant skips the evaluation and pays a 90% split. News trading is allowed, but positions close at 14:55 CT. is not restricted.
