Hola Prime Futures
Hong Kongholaprime.com/futures
Hola Prime Futures is the futures division of Hong Kong-based Hola Prime, which added futures (alongside its existing forex business) around mid-2025 and markets itself around a '10-point payout system' that targets one-hour withdrawal processing. The firm offers two routes into a single simulated 'Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account': a 1-Step Prime Challenge evaluation with a 6% profit target and unlimited trading days, and a Direct (Instant) Account that skips the evaluation entirely for a higher one-time fee. Both paths use an end-of-day trailing drawdown of 4% on $25K/$50K accounts and 3% on $100K/$150K accounts, which locks at the starting balance once that trailing threshold is first reached; the Direct Account additionally carries a 2.5% daily loss limit treated as a soft breach that pauses trading for the day rather than failing the account. A consistency rule applies throughout the trader's lifecycle: 40% during the 1-Step Prime Challenge, 35% on the resulting Sim. Funded Account, and 20% on the Direct Account. Both programs pay a 90% profit split with a weekly payout cycle, requiring at least 5 non-consecutive profitable trading days (each above a minimum-dollar threshold set by account size) before a payout can be requested, and payout amounts are capped on a schedule that rises with each successive payout rather than left uncapped. Advertised as $0 activation fee with a full challenge-fee refund spread across a trader's first four payouts after passing. Hola Prime Futures supports four trading platforms - NinjaTrader, Tradovate, WealthCharts, and DX Futures - each publishing its own per-instrument, per-side commission schedule rather than a single flat rate. Automated trading, bots, and EAs are prohibited on every account, a stop-loss is mandatory on every trade, and a maximum risk-per-trade-idea rule (2% on Tradovate/NinjaTrader/WealthCharts, 1% on DX Futures) aggregates split or re-entered positions within a 10-minute window into a single 'trade idea.' Overnight and weekend holding are not permitted on either program, while news trading is allowed without restriction. Hola Prime operates through several legal entities depending on the service used (Hong Kong parent, a Cyprus subsidiary, a Mauritius FSC-licensed entity for its MT5 offering, and a U.S.-based partner for DXtrade/Match-Trader), and, like other futures-prop firms, the futures Sim. Funded Account itself is a simulated product rather than a regulated brokerage relationship.

Trading Rules
- Two funding paths into one simulated tier: a 1-Step Prime Challenge evaluation and a Direct (Instant) Account, both leading to a Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account
- No minimum trading days on either path; trading period is unlimited
- A stop-loss is mandatory on every trade, placed within 3 minutes of opening a position or prior to closing it, whichever occurs earlier
- Maximum risk per trade idea: 2% of initial balance on Tradovate, NinjaTrader, and WealthCharts; 1% of initial balance on DX Futures
- Splitting one idea into multiple overlapping positions, or re-entering the same asset in the same direction within 10 minutes of closing, is treated as a single trade idea for risk-limit purposes; exceeding the limit results in account termination
- Automated trading systems, bots, EAs, and AI-driven execution are prohibited on all accounts; all trades must be manually placed
- Copy-trading is permitted only between a trader's own linked accounts (challenge-to-challenge or sim funded-to-sim funded); the lead account must carry the lowest maximum position size among linked accounts; copying between accounts owned by different individuals is prohibited
- Inactivity: at least one completed round-trip trade required every 7 consecutive calendar days
- Maximum position size applies by account size (from 1 mini/10 micros on $25K up to 10 minis/100 micros on $150K, depending on program)
- Traders may not place trades within 2% of the CME price limit for a given contract; doing so results in account closure
- Maximum capital allocation: 5 accounts or $500,000 per program, whichever threshold is reached first; combined Forex and Futures allocation across a trader is capped at $800,000
- Overnight and weekend holding are not allowed on either program
- Website and MT5 services are operated under Hola Prime Limited, Hong Kong, with a Cyprus subsidiary (registration HE 454359) and a Mauritius entity regulated by the Financial Services Commission as an Investment Dealer (license GB24203729); DXtrade and Match-Trader services are provided via Gooey Trade / GT Tech LLC, Boca Raton, Florida, USA
Restricted strategies
Copy-trading tools are explicitly allowed only across a trader's own linked accounts, with the lead account required to hold the lowest maximum position size among them; third-party copiers are permitted but any disputes must be resolved directly with the provider, and copying between accounts owned by different individuals is not permitted.
News trading
- 1-Step Prime Challenge and Direct AccountAllowed
News trading is allowed without restriction on both programs. Hola Prime does not impose a no-trade window around high-impact releases, though it notes that trading through news carries added slippage and gap risk.

Trust & Safety
Hola Prime publishes detailed documentation for its futures offering, including profit targets, drawdown mechanics, contract limits, consistency rules, payout caps and thresholds, commission tables per platform, and prohibited-strategy lists. The firm draws attention to its payout speed and transparency claims, publishes its per-instrument commission schedules rather than presenting the simulated accounts as cost-free, and holds ISO 9001, ISO 22301, and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications alongside a Mauritius FSC license used for its MT5 services.

Hola Prime's futures Challenge and Sim. Funded/Direct products are simulated evaluation and simulated funded accounts intended for educational and skill-assessment purposes; the firm states it does not act as a broker and does not accept deposits. Its Mauritius FSC license applies to MT5 brokerage services rather than to the futures Sim. Funded product itself.
Traders should pay close attention to the Direct Account's added 2.5% daily soft-breach loss limit, the tiered consistency requirements across stages, the maximum risk-per-trade-idea rule and its 10-minute re-entry aggregation, the rising payout-cap schedule, the 2.5% payout processing fee, and the fact that the firm operates through several different legal entities depending on the platform or service used, before choosing an account.
Trading carries risk. Evaluation programs like this one involve simulated accounts and non-refundable fees; review the firm’s current terms directly before purchasing. This page is informational and not financial advice.
