Savius verdict: pros, cons and who it suits

Our take in one line: Savius offers a static drawdown (on some plans) and no activation fee; the catch is an intraday trailing drawdown (on some plans).

Pros

Static drawdown (on some plans): the loss floor never moves up
No activation fee after you pass
No news-trading window in evaluation or funded accounts

Cons

Intraday trailing drawdown (on some plans): the floor follows unrealised peaks
Hard daily loss limit: one bad day fails the account
20–30% consistency rule in the evaluation (raises the target if one day is too big)
20–30% consistency rule on funded payouts
Funded account is limited to 3 payouts
Data fee of $90 per month
Funded account fee of $90 per month

Best for

News traders

Avoid if

You sometimes have one big red day
You make most of your profit on one or two big days
You hold positions overnight

Every point is worked out from one rule field in our data (see the rules below); empty fields are left out, not guessed. Where a plan differs, the point says “on some plans”. Check “What we could not fully verify” further down before you buy. Not financial advice.

Regulation: No financial-regulator licence found. Evaluation fees are not covered by investor compensation. Funded accounts start simulated per the firm’s terms; only some traders move to a live account.

Minimum cost if you pass first time · One Step Evaluation · One Step 50K Fixed EOD

What you pay up to your first payout when you pass on the first try with no resets. Monthly fees are counted for the number of months you choose.

Evaluation fee · one-time, list price: $79
Activation fee · none: $0
Data feed × 2 mo · $90/mo: $180
Minimum total: $259

Optional Level 2 data: $20/mo.

If you pass on the first try: $259

Each extra try counted as a reset at $69.

Most traders need more than one try. Firm-reported figures: The Funded Trader said 5–10% of its challenges are passed (Finance Magnates), and FPFX Tech data showed that about 7% of traders reached a payout (Finance Magnates, September 2024). At a 10% pass rate you need 10 tries per pass on average (1 ÷ 10%). These are not figures for Savius.

Payout buffer: Instant Funded Evolution: minimum payout $250, first payout needs the profit target

Numbers worked out from the rules (One Step 50K Fixed EOD)

Evaluation price per $1,000 of account size: $1.6
Total profit target : max drawdown: 3.8 : 1
Rule strictness (estimate): Very strict — total target 3.8× the drawdown, 30% evaluation consistency rule, 30-day time limit, 10 minimum trading days

Rules that decide pass or fail

The rules that end most Savius evaluations and funded accounts. Main program unless noted.

Max drawdown: Trailing intraday
Drawdown lock: Unverified — Instant Funded Evolution: intraday trailing max drawdown on peak equity (incl. unrealised) in the first cycle; from the second cycle the floor is static at the cycle starting balance + $1 (FAQ also repeats the intraday trailing wording for later cycles). One Step Trailing EOD follows the highest EOD balance; Fixed EOD has a static floor.
Daily loss limit: Hard: breaching it fails the account; measured from start-of-day balance; resets 16:15 US Central (25K: $400 · 50K: $800 · 100K: $1,300 · 150K: $2,000 · 300K: $4,000) — Instant Funded Evolution: Daily Max DD is a hard breach measured from the daily starting balance (25K $400, 50K $800, 100K $1,300, 150K $2,000, 300K $4,000), resets 16:15 CT. Not stated for the One Step Evaluation.
Consistency (evaluation): 20% / 30% (varies by plan) — best day measured as a share of total profit; going over it raises the profit target
News trading: Evaluation: no restriction · Funded: no restriction — Trading during news is allowed; Savius is not responsible for poor fills during high-impact releases.
Minimum trade duration: Unverified
Min. trading days: 10
Time limit: No time limit / 30 days
Commissions: Unverified

Rules after you pass

What changes on the funded account: payouts, caps and scaling.

Funded account: Simulated first; some traders move to a live account (per the firm’s terms)
Funded drawdown: No separate funded rule on file
Consistency (payouts): 20% / 30% (varies by plan) — best day measured as a share of total profit; going over it raises the profit target
Starting contracts: 50K: 2 · 100K: 3
Scaling plan: Fixed max contracts by size. Instant Funded Evolution (minis/micros): 25K 3/30, 50K 4/40, 100K 8/80, 150K 12/120, 300K 24/240. One Step Timed Evaluation: 50K 5/50, 100K 10/100; funded Prequalification 2/20 (50K), 3/30 (100K); Permanent funded 3/30 (50K), 4/40 (100K). Limits are cumulative minis + micros (1 mini = 10 micros).
First payout: Unverified — Instant Funded Evolution: profit target reached, 10 trading days and 20% consistency, then request (min $250). One Step: +5% prequalification target, 10 trading days, 30% consistency, payouts on the Permanent Funded Account only.
Profit split: Instant Funded Evolution: 90% of the requested payout while on the sim-funded account (2% withdrawal fee deducted), 80/20 on the Live account. One Step Evaluation: 80% -> 85% -> 90% at 1x/2x/3x the funded profit target (cumulative gross profit)
Payout frequency: On request, no monthly limit on requests; standard processing 72 hours (weekends/holidays excluded) via RISE (KYC mandatory). Minimum $250 per request, per-request maximum by size ($1,000-$4,000 Instant; $1,500/$2,000 One Step on 50K/100K). One Step: one request at a time, payouts only on the Permanent Funded Account
Payout cap: first payout 25K: $1,000 · 50K: $1,500 · 100K: $2,000 · 150K: $2,500 · 300K: $4,000 — Instant Funded Evolution: payout $250 to maximum per cycle (25K $1,000, 50K $1,500, 100K $2,000, 150K $2,500, 300K $4,000), max 3 consecutive payouts per account before Live eligibility; 2% fee deducted from payouts. One Step: up to $1,500 (50K) / $2,000 (100K) per request, $4,500 / $6,000 total across the funded phase.
Max payouts: 3 per account
Payout buffer: Instant Funded Evolution: minimum payout $250, first payout needs the profit target (e.g. $1,250 on 25K), 10 trading days and 20% consistency; the difference between the maximum and requested payout can be retained as a buffer that is added to Live capital. One Step: +5% profit at EOD close, 10 trading days and 30% consistency to prequalify (buffer lost on funded breach); Live buffer carry-over capped at $10,000 in aggregate.
Move to live: After 3 consecutive payouts (Instant) or at the third checkpoint (One Step) the trader may be moved to a Live account at Savius' discretion after a review/call; base live funding $2,000-$4,000 by size plus retained payout buffer; one Live account per trader, other accounts are disabled.
Funded monthly fee: $90/month

What you may trade and how

Weekend holding: Not allowed
Overnight holding: Not allowed — No overnight or weekend positions. Open positions must be closed manually before 15:55 US Central; open positions at that time are automatically liquidated and the challenge is closed. Pending limit/stop orders left open no longer cause a rule violation (since 7 Oct 2025) but a fill that causes a drawdown breach still fails the account. Trading resumes 17:00 US Central.
Automation / EAs: Restricted — Prohibited: automatic third-party trading systems/bots and order management systems other than those provided by the supported platforms. Trade copying between your own challenges (up to 3) is allowed, Volumetrica web copier recommended.
Accounts you may hold: Unverified — Instant Funded Evolution: max 3 per user. One Step: up to 20 active Timed Evaluations at once (extras wait as pending, expire after 90 days); up to 5 active funded accounts in total across One Step and Instant Funded Evolution, at most 3 of them Instant Funded.

Company & access

Markets: futures
Headquarters: Unverified — Terms name Savius Software Consulting FZCO (Dubai Silicon Oasis, UAE) and Savius Trading Firm SL (San Miguel de Abona, Tenerife, Spain). Homepage says 'one of the world's oldest prop firm founded in 2013' (not independently checked). HQ country is not stated, so hqCountry is null.
Founded: 2013
Data provider: dxFeed via Volumetrica (CME, NYMEX, COMEX, CBOT)

What we could not fully verify (12)

One Step prices are 'Launch' prices (limited launch pricing). Original prices $109/$119/$159/$179 are higher. The One Step page says the launch price applies 'with coupon at checkout' without naming a code; the homepage shows it as a plain price. Stored prices are the launch prices.
One Step Fixed EOD drawdown figures conflict: the pricing cards say '$800 Fixed Drawdown' (50K) and '$1,600 EOD Fixed Drawdown' (100K) but with static floors of $48,400 and $97,600 (i.e. $1,600 and $2,400 below the start). The FAQ calls $800/$1,600 'Available Daily Margin' that resets at EOD close. maxDrawdownUsd stores 800/1,600 (Fixed) and 1,500/2,500 (Trailing); no daily loss limit is stated separately for One Step, so dailyLossLimitUsd is null.
Drawdown type mapping: Instant Funded Evolution max drawdown is intraday trailing on peak equity incl. unrealised P&L (FAQ), but the FAQ also says it is no longer trailing from the second cycle (static floor = cycle starting balance + $1). Firm-level type uses the first-cycle trailing_intraday. One Step: Trailing EOD -> eod; Fixed EOD stored as static (static floor measured at EOD); whole funded phase uses the EOD Fixed model per FAQ.
Time limit conflict: homepage says 'No time limits' (Instant Funded Evolution), while the One Step Evaluation has a 30-calendar-day Timed Evaluation. timeLimitDays is therefore per tier (0 for Instant, 30 for One Step) and null at firm level.
Instant Funded Evolution profitTargetUsd stores the 'Target Payout' (profit needed before the first payout), not an evaluation target; there is no evaluation on that product.
Daily loss limit exists on Instant Funded Evolution (hard breach on daily starting balance, resets 16:15 US Central) but is not stated for the One Step Evaluation, so hasDailyLossLimit is null at firm level.
Activation fee: explicitly $0 only for the One Step Evaluation. Not stated for Instant Funded Evolution (no evaluation step). activationFeeAmount left null.
Platforms: homepage logos list dxFeed, ATAS, Quantower, Volumetrica, DeepChart; FAQ states licences for DeepChart and DeepDom (Volumetrica), ATAS and Quantower. The One Step platform section gives no details.
Commissions / symbol list: the 'Size and Commissions' table (savius.com/table-commissions/) showed no symbols or commission figures when read, so commission fields are null.
Profit split text differs by page: the Instant FAQ says 90% in the demo phase and 80% on Live; the Live-account FAQ says 'Bi-weekly payouts on a 80/20 split'; the One Step page says 90% after 3 checkpoints incl. Live.
Live-transition criteria are discretionary ('no single threshold'); Live capital terms are negotiated case by case.
Terms contain no revision date (page metadata 2026-07-28 only) and name no country list of restricted jurisdictions, only sanctions lists (OFAC).

Savius consistency rule

Evaluation: 20% / 30% (varies by plan) — best day measured as a share of total profit; going over it raises the profit target. Funded payouts: 20% / 30% (varies by plan) — best day measured as a share of total profit; going over it raises the profit target. Details: Instant Funded Evolution: 20% (best trading day <= 20% of profit, required on every payout cycle; if broken the new target = best day / 0.20 added to the starting balance). One Step Evaluation: 30% (best day <= 30% of total profit), stays active for payout approval until Live. Account Live: no consistency rule.
