Maven
Saint Luciamaventrading.com
Maven is a CFD prop trading firm based in Saint Lucia, established in November 2022, offering 1-Step, 2-Step, 3-Step, Instant, Instant Mini, Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL), and OMO programs through Match-Trader and MetaTrader 5. Account sizes range from $2,000 to $200,000 across Forex, metals, indices, energy, cryptocurrencies, and other commodities. The firm's standard 1-Step, 2-Step, 3-Step, and OMO programs carry an 80% profit split (up to 90% with an add-on) and pay out every 10 business days; Instant Standard also runs at 80% on-demand once payout requirements are met, while Instant Mini starts at 70% (up to 90% with add-on) with a one-time payout submitted within 24 hours of the trading period ending. The 1-Step BNPL program offers an unusually low flat $5 entry fee across account sizes from $2,000 to $100,000. Maven also offers a Buyback feature, an M2 Account Saver, and a scaling plan that can increase account capital by 25% after meeting performance requirements, with a stated maximum of $1 million. Forex leverage is a consistent 1:75 across all program types, while crypto leverage is capped at 1:2; metals leverage is notably higher on the 2-Step program (1:100) than on Instant, 1-Step, or 3-Step (1:20). The firm applies a $10,000 maximum withdrawal per 30-day cycle across all accounts owned by a trader, prohibits Expert Advisors across all platforms, and restricts news trading around high-impact events on most programs (though Instant Mini, Instant Funding, and 1-Step BNPL are exempt from that restriction). The supplied firm data does not provide sufficient information to independently establish Maven's regulatory authorization or licensing status, so it should not be presented as a regulated broker or financial institution unless separately verified.

Trust & Safety
Maven is a CFD prop trading firm based in Saint Lucia, established in November 2022, operating through a liquidity-provider broker relationship on Match-Trader and MetaTrader 5. The firm provides detailed information on its program rules, payout conditions, leverage, commissions, trading restrictions, and account-specific requirements, giving traders considerable visibility into the operational conditions of its different programs. Its documentation clearly distinguishes between programs, with different payout schedules, consistency requirements, minimum trading days, news rules, and risk controls, though this also makes the overall offering more complex to evaluate. Maven states that traders who demonstrate consistent performance on a funded demo account may undergo an internal review and potentially receive an invitation to transition to a real live account.
