Our Verdict
With LMI, traders receive more than an evaluation account. They get a clear, one-stage path to a Funded Session, professional VolFix order-flow and volume-analysis tools, flexible account options, transparent risk rules, and a competitive payout structure that lets traders keep 100% of their first $30,000 in cumulative payouts and 90% thereafter.
The Good
- • 100% profit share on first $30,000 in withdrawals (90% thereafter)
- • Simple 1-step Qualifying Session with only 2 minimum trading days
- • Choice between Standard (with activation fee) and No Activation Fee subscriptions
- • Professional VolFix order-flow and volume-analysis tools
- • No lifetime limit on number of payouts
- • Twice-weekly payout processing (Monday and Thursday)
- • Established brand founded in 2018 with transparent conditions
The Bad
- • Futures only (no Forex, Stocks, or CFD trading)
- • Intraday Daily Pause rule closes positions if breached
- • Trailing drawdown trails highest end-of-day balance until initial nominal balance
- • Consistency rule (51-52% max best day) applies to profit targets

Best payout split for futures
Keeping 100% of the first $30,000 in withdrawals is unmatched in the futures prop firm space. Support is also very responsive.
