Great customer service and nice Rules

Great customer service. I think their first priority is to see traders succeed. The email I received alongside my account details was so inspiring. I've tried many great firms but Lark Funding is on another level. I love the team. So sincere and transparent in all they do. The rules are so trader-friendly too

Signed contract and ready to go

If you're looking for a prop, this is it. The best condition for traders, and in my case, this is the best for those who trade stocks. If you can manage a prop firm account with discipline and pass it your a trader. If not, you will blow your account, whether it is a prop or your own money. After failing a few challenges finally I have discovered the strategy that is working best for me .I have passed one and looking forward to passing the few accounts I still have. If you have difficulty passing on other prop firm, try Lark Funding and you will be amaze.

A really good prop firm

I've been using Larkfunding for a few weeks, and this prop firm surprises me. I passed Topstep(and use it as my main prop firm right now for its transparency), TPT(bad experience), Elite trader(bucket shop, scam), MFF(not bad, but not as good as Topstep), Topone(good), but all these firms' thoughts seem the same. As we can see, most of the prop firms have plenty of rules (especially hidden ones) to prevent traders from making a payout. However, Larkfunding proposed a new perspective on prop firms, which is to help and grow with traders. Larkfunding deletes most requirements as long as you can prove you can have a stable system and make money as a trader, not a gambler. Larkfunding allows traders to hold positions overnight and over weekends, with no consistency rules, but they ask traders to put stop losses as a protection(this is a good habit for traders to cultivate). I can trade in my own way and hold my positions as a swing trader in Larkfunding. I just passed two $50,000 evaluation accounts, and two others are on the way for $100,000. I will continue to update my experience on Lark to help traders learn more about this young prop firm. My suggestions: more tradable symbols(equities), a path to live trading(real money) in the future, improve as Topstep, and I hope your Kickstarter becomes a top tier in prop firms and leads the way.

One of the few prop firms that provides top-tier support.

I've only been using this firm for about two months and have received just one payout so far, but the support is absolutely top-level.
The CEO is active on Discord and even helps resolve individual issues. Of course, email support is also available, and both the speed and quality are outstanding.

In my experience, about 70% of prop firms send template replies without carefully reading the inquiry.
However, that has never happened with Lark Funding — they genuinely consider what's best for the trader.

Although I’ve only been with them for a short time, I have high expectations.

They do not let you down!

Twice I have had an issue with my account, and twice the Lark team has been incredibly quick to respond and address my issue. Seriously, I was worried for what maybe was no reason since they did not hesitate to help me out. Thank you, thank you!

Shoutout Skiller for the understanding and prompt help!

My best experience in the prop industry so far :)

From the start I loved the prop firm for the variety of instruments available, the value and transparency on the processes. I recently had an issue when closing a trade and I received support in no time and a solid fix for the problem. They have a great discord community and a very friendly team that sort issues out immediately. My only desire would be to have MT5 because of personal preference, however they still do offer three platforms to choose from. Definitely my best experience within the prop firm industry. :)

Reply from Lark Funding

Ovidiu, I'm sorry to see you leave a negative review when we do everything in our power to provide our traders with a seamless experience.

However, regarding your case, you did exhibit a level of risk that our firm wasn't comfortable with. A 7% swing in 90 minutes is not the form of risk management we're looking for, and considering the position size, we deem it gambling.

We gave you the opportunity to retake the evaluation for free, and as a courtesy, we also offered a refund, which you agreed to.

We wish you the best of luck in your future trading endeavours.

Kind regards,
Matt, CEO

Not true to their word.

Please note that everything I’m about to say is supported by emails, which I still have as proof.

Back in 2023, I purchased a challenge with Lark Funding after exchanging emails with one of Matt’s employees (Matt being the owner of Lark Funding), named Connor. I specifically asked Connor about the holding period for trades — whether I would be forced to exit a trade after 30 days, for example. He replied, and I quote: "You are able to hold trades for as long as you like." That’s a very clear and explicit statement, right?

Well, in February 2024, Matt decided to switch brokers from Eightcap to DXTrade and forced all traders to close their trades. He didn’t seem to think there was any issue with this. Naturally, I emailed them about it.

I’m a trend follower. Any trader who uses a trend-following strategy will understand my position: in trending markets, you stay in a trade until the trend ends — that’s the basic principle. That's how trend followers make money. If I enter at 1.10 and the price moves to 1.12, that’s a 200-pip profit. At that point, I want to add to the position, not exit it prematurely.

Matt replied, and I quote:
"Unfortunately, however, we're not providing compensation. Transferring accounts to DXTrade requires a substantial cost and investment, which we're not transferring over to traders."

Sorry, but that’s not my problem. As a business owner, Matt made the decision to change brokers. Yet I’m the one suffering the consequences — despite being explicitly told I could hold trades for as long as I wanted. If a physical business would change location, would they transfer the fees to their customers? I hope not. That would be insanity.

I requested an account reset as fair compensation. Instead, they closed my positions (which were in profit) and transferred the balance to the new broker. That doesn't help me. Again, as a trend follower, exiting trades “just because” goes against the very core of the strategy. This kind of disruption can be the difference between a +5% return and a +20% return. This could have been the difference between passing the challenge vs failing it.

With all that being said, I would never go with an unstable business like that again. They guaranteed I could hold trades, then closed them due to a business decision. FTMO has proven to be true to their word, so that will be my next challenge.

REPLY TO MATT since I cant hit reply on his response:

"First, we did reach out and ask for more information so we could try to resolve this privately and respectfully. You declined to even provide your name, which makes it difficult for us to take meaningful action or verify any specifics."
MY REPLY: We did exchange via emails when that happened in 2023 and as I said, you asked for my account number in those emails so you had my full name. If you want to know who I am writing this review, I can send you an email on my private "official" email. Not going to disclose my name here.

"Second, the situation you’re referring to wasn’t a decision made unilaterally by Lark Funding. In early 2024, MetaTrader and Eightcap exited the prop firm space—an industry-wide disruption that impacted nearly every firm using their services. We were forced to migrate to DXTrade as a result. This wasn’t optional, and it certainly wasn’t something we took lightly"
MY REPLY: I know it wasnt a unilateral decision, never said it was. I said to take accountability for your words and your employee's words. You said I could hold my trade for as long as I wanted and it wasnt the case. Period.

"We offered refunds to anyone who requested one and honored all realized profits on open positions."
MY REPLY: NOT TRUE. As I said in my review and in the email, I ASKED for a refund, you never gave it to me. You said that you will transfert my open profits onto the next account I will get with DXtrade. Never had a refund. You closed my trade (in profits) and transferred the balance to the new account.

"It’s true that trend-following strategies can be impacted by events like this. But this was a platform-wide shutdown, not an arbitrary closure. And despite your claim that we “transferred costs” to you, we absorbed all migration costs ourselves. Traders weren’t charged a cent"
MY REPLY: You obviously didnt read what I wrote. I NEVER said in my review that you transferred the cost to us. Just re-read.

I will finish by saying this: I still have all the exchange we had via emails. Not sure what game we playing here, but if you want, I can write you an email linked to the previous exchanges we had. You never wanted to give me a refund, only transfert the profits and THAT lead to you not being true to your words. It is not MY fault that you had to switch brokers and I asked to be compensated fairly which I wasnt. Again, if you want to discuss this in private, we can.

I’m genuinely sorry to hear about your frustration—and while I respect your right to share your experience, I do want to set the record straight.

First, we did reach out and ask for more information so we could try to resolve this privately and respectfully. You declined to even provide your name, which makes it difficult for us to take meaningful action or verify any specifics.

Second, the situation you’re referring to wasn’t a decision made unilaterally by Lark Funding. In early 2024, MetaTrader and Eightcap exited the prop firm space—an industry-wide disruption that impacted nearly every firm using their services. We were forced to migrate to DXTrade as a result. This wasn’t optional, and it certainly wasn’t something we took lightly.

We offered refunds to anyone who requested one and honored all realized profits on open positions. What we didn’t do—and won’t do—is pay out hypothetical profits on trades that were never closed. That would open the door to all kinds of manipulation and wouldn’t be fair to our other traders.

It’s true that trend-following strategies can be impacted by events like this. But this was a platform-wide shutdown, not an arbitrary closure. And despite your claim that we “transferred costs” to you, we absorbed all migration costs ourselves. Traders weren’t charged a cent.

I’ll end with this: we’ve always acted in good faith and done our best to support traders through unexpected industry changes. We’re not perfect, but we are transparent—and we stand by our decisions.

Wishing you success in your trading journey.

Matt
CEO, Lark Funding
