Methodology

How we are funded and who we are. FundedPilot is published by Bluewave Digital Education FZCO, the company that also operates Meridian Funded. Meridian therefore appears on this page as our own brand, and we say so on every page rather than presenting ourselves as unaffiliated. Every figure for every firm, Meridian included, is read from that firm's own published rules and can be checked against them. We publish no user reviews and our scores are not based on any.

What we score

Every score on this site is computed from eight criteria, each of which has to be published by the firm in its own rules, FAQ or checkout. If a firm does not publish a figure, it loses the points for that criterion rather than receiving an estimate.

1. Whether a consistency rule applies during the evaluation, and the threshold if one does.
2. Whether the maximum loss locks once you are profitable, or keeps following your equity.
3. The minimum trading days, counted per phase rather than per account.
4. The daily loss limit, its basis and whether the reset time is published.
5. The first date a payout may be requested, ahead of how fast it is processed.
6. The profit split that applies on the first payout, with nothing bought and no condition met.
7. Whether news trading, weekend holding and expert advisors are permitted.
8. Whether the scaling plan states a trigger, an increment and a ceiling.

What we do not do

We publish no user reviews and no star ratings derived from user reviews. Every star shown on this site is a rendering of the computed score above and nothing else. We do not accept payment for position, no firm can buy a place in the ranking, and no firm pays us for the outbound link next to its name.

Why Meridian is first, stated plainly

Meridian Funded is our own brand, operated by the same company that publishes this site. It is also the firm with the fewest published restrictions among those compared here: no consistency rule during the evaluation, three minimum trading days per phase, a 1-Step floor that locks at the starting balance, and a payout commitment with a stated penalty attached. Both things are true at once, and you should weigh the first when reading the second. The figures behind every other firm come from that firm's own published terms and you can check them line by line.

Every firm is linked to its own site

Each firm on this page links to its own website, including the ones we compete with. That is deliberate: a comparison you cannot verify is worth nothing, and the fastest way to check a figure we publish is to read it on the source. Outbound links to other firms carry no tracking parameters of ours and we receive nothing if you buy from them.

Dates and corrections

Figures were read on 3 September 2026 and each table carries that date. Rules move without notice. If a figure here does not match what you find on a firm's own page, write to [email protected] with the firm, the rule and the page, and it will be re-read and corrected with the date of the new reading.
