Scored by Ayub Rana against our published methodology.
Hola Prime, launched in 2024, sells 1-step, 2-step, and instant (Direct) accounts from $2K to $300K, with 2-Step Prime challenges priced from $39 (5K) to $939 (200K). Its headline feature is payout speed: withdrawals are processed within one hour via RiseWorks, crypto, or bank transfer, and the profit split depends on the chosen payout cycle - 65% weekly, 80% bi-weekly, or 95% monthly. Prime challenge accounts use static drawdowns, allow news trading and EAs, and require 3 minimum trading days per phase, while Direct instant accounts use trailing drawdowns with a 20% consistency rule.

Pros & Cons
Hola Prime pros & cons
The strengths and trade-offs our editors weigh when scoring this firm.
What traders like
- Publishes an instrument-level leverage and commission table, including 3 USD per lot per side on forex and gold, 1.5 USD on other commodities and zero commission on indices and cryptos, so the running cost of a strategy is knowable before purchase.
- No time limit on any evaluation: the forex trading rules page states "No Time Limit" and the futures 1-Step tables state unlimited max trading days for both the challenge phase and the funded account.
- The payout cycle is a purchase-time choice rather than a fixed policy, from on-demand at 80% up to monthly at 95%, and the firm publishes a 12 min 34 sec average processing time on its payout transparency report.
- Sells both CFD and CME futures products, with the futures fee stated as one-time with no monthly subscription and no activation fee, which is unusual on the futures side of the sector.
- Names its executives publicly, including MD and CEO Somesh Kapuria, and publishes a challenge pass rate of 35% for the period 10 November 2024 to 29 May 2025.
What to watch
- The contracting entity named in the terms, Hola Prime Limited of Hong Kong, publishes no company registration number; the numbered entities disclosed are a Mauritius trading arm (220248, FSC licence GB24203729) and a Cyprus subsidiary (HE 454359).
- Rules diverge sharply by product: news trading and weekend holding are unrestricted on Prime accounts but blocked on 2-Step Pro funded accounts, on Direct accounts and on all futures accounts, where weekend holding is a hard breach.
- High-frequency trading, tick scalping, group hedging and copying from external accounts are all prohibited, and Expert Advisors are barred outright on Direct model accounts.
- The headline 95% split is paid for at checkout: the monthly 95% option is priced about 20% above the bi-weekly 80% option on the same account size.
- Combined forex and futures allocation is capped at $800K, well below the $4 million ceiling advertised on the scaling page, which is only reachable through multi-year scaling.
- No flat minimum payout is published on the forex side, while the futures side sets minimums that rise from $250 on a $25K account to $1,500 on a $150K account.

- §Instant funding, no evaluation. Daily loss cap of 2.5% is a soft breach. Weekly 90% payout cycle with a 20% consistency rule.

Rules
Hola Prime rules, explained
The rules that actually get traders breached: what they are and how this firm sets them.
| Rule | Hola Prime | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Drawdown type | Hybrid | Trailing drawdown follows your equity peak and is the #1 cause of surprise breaches; static drawdown is fixed from starting balance and far more forgiving. |
| Consistency rule | 40% cap per day | Caps how much of your total profit can come from a single day. A strict cap can delay or void payouts for traders with a few big wins. |
| News trading | Allowed | Some firms void trades placed around high-impact news releases, which is critical if you trade NFP, CPI, or rate decisions. |
| Expert advisors (EAs) | Allowed | Determines whether automated strategies and copiers are permitted, and whether an EA can get your account flagged. |
| Minimum trading days | 3 days | The floor on how fast you can pass a phase, which matters if you trade infrequently or want to pass quickly. |
| Challenge time limit | No time limit | A deadline forces you to trade whether or not your setup appears. Firms with no time limit let you sit out bad conditions. |
| Weekend / overnight holding | Allowed | Swing traders need positions to survive the Friday close. Where holding is barred, open trades are closed for you and gaps cannot be traded. |
| Copy trading | Allowed | Decides whether you can mirror one strategy across several accounts. Most firms that allow it restrict it to accounts you own yourself. |
| High-frequency trading | Not allowed | Firms police latency arbitrage and tick scalping hard, and an HFT breach is one of the most common reasons a passed account is voided. |
