Lark Funding: the prop firm we recommend
Lark Funding is the prop firm we recommend, and the one where we trade our own accounts. Its published rules are simple: a clear target, a drawdown floor that doesn’t move on its evaluations (the Instant account uses a trailing drawdown), and no consistency or minimum-day rules to trip over.
Affiliate link: we trade our own accounts at Lark and earn a commission if you buy through it.
What Lark says about its rules
- No consistency rules and no minimum trading days.
- No news restrictions.
- Static drawdowns on its evaluations: the drawdown level stays where it starts, so it doesn’t move with your balance.
- Bi-weekly payouts once you’re funded.
- Customer support 24/7, in 20 languages.
- Simulated (demo) accounts on crypto, stocks, commodities, forex and indices.
