Neura Funding at a glance
Neura Funding, also known as Neura Funded, was a prop firm operated by SEMIZU L.L.C-FZ, a company registered in the United Arab Emirates with its headquarters in Dubai (Meydan Grandstand, Nad Al Sheba). It offered two paths on MetaTrader 5: a One Step Challenge and an Instant Funding formula, with accounts from $10,000 to $1,000,000 and a profit split advertised up to 90/10.
The key fact to know upfront: the firm has been acquired by Foxx Funded and account migration is complete. One Step Challenges now appear as "Sold Out" on the official website, which now redirects to Foxx Funded's CRM. This article reviews the original conditions and what actually remains for a trader in 2026.
Neura Funding has been acquired by Foxx Funded
The announcement is published on the firm's website. Neura Funded was officially acquired by Foxx Funded and account migration is complete. In practice, existing clients keep their Neura credentials to log into Foxx Funded's CRM, their MT5 accounts remain unchanged provided they select the Foxx Limited server, and Neura accounts appear automatically in the Foxx dashboard attached to the same email address. No password reset is required.
This outcome was visible in public data: site traffic dropped from an estimated 43,000 visits in April 2026 to about 442 in October 2026, a fall of nearly 97% over three months. A collapse of that magnitude is the pattern that most often precedes a shutdown or absorption, though it is not proof on its own.
A second signal that should not be overlooked: the FAQ and contact pages of the site return a 404 error. The website now works as a redirect showcase to Foxx Funded, not as an active commercial platform.
The One Step Challenge conditions
The One Step Challenge required a 7% profit target, with a maximum daily loss of 4% and a maximum overall loss of 8%. Leverage was 1:100 on MetaTrader 5, the profit split was advertised up to 90/10 and the payout cycle was weekly. The entry level was listed at 109 euros, for account sizes ranging from $10,000 to $1,000,000, with scaling announced up to 5 million dollars.
On paper, these rules sit in the favourable band of the market: a 7% target and an 8% max loss are more lenient than the 10% / 10% standard of the leaders. The Instant Funding formula targeted traders who did not want to go through an evaluation. Its parameters (target, drawdown, profit split) were never published, which made a serious comparison of the two paths impossible.
A strict rulebook, with grey areas
The firm's terms and conditions kept a fairly tight grip on account usage. A refund was only possible within seven days of purchase and only if the account had remained completely unused: no trades, no copy trading, no connected robot. There was no free retry: a failed challenge had to be purchased again, with a discount unlocked from the fourth payout.
On the activity side, at least one trade per week was required from the first trade onwards, on pain of contract termination. Identity verification (ID document and proof of residence less than three months old) was mandatory before any withdrawal.
The prohibited behaviours targeted the effect rather than the instrument: holding the majority of your trades for less than one minute, using martingale-style sizing, engaging in hedging arbitrage, using emulators, copying trades from other traders or signal providers, or passing a challenge on a single large trade, treated as gambling. Trading the news during "restricted periods" was also among the grounds for payout denial or delay, without those periods ever being published.
These grey areas are the main criticism of the rulebook: the drawdown calculation method (static, trailing or end-of-day) was never specified, nor were the restricted news periods, and the Instant Funding parameters remained unknown.
The 4% / 8% drawdown in practice
A 4% daily drawdown means a single session cannot cost more than 4% of starting capital: once the limit is hit, the day is over, and the account can be closed according to the contract terms. The 8% maximum drawdown is the account's absolute limit, accumulated over the entire challenge.
This 4%/8% pairing leaves more room than the industry average, but it demands disciplined position sizing. With a 4% daily limit, a 0.5% to 1% risk per position lets you absorb several losing trades in a row without nearing the floor. On a 7% target, the classic mistake is oversizing to go fast: that is precisely the scenario that blows up an account within two sessions. And the rule against passing the challenge on one single large position rules out the all-or-nothing strategy, even if it would have been a winner.
Platforms, fees and payments
Neura Funding only offered a single platform: MetaTrader 5. A restricted but coherent choice, since MT5 remains the retail trading benchmark, with Expert Advisors, backtesting and a massive community. Traders used to cTrader, TradeLocker or futures platforms therefore had to adapt.
On pricing, the entry level was listed at 109 euros, on the high side of the average for simple challenges, and the plan selector grid did not clearly indicate which account size each price bought. Commissions, spreads and reset fees were not publicly documented after the migration.
Payouts were advertised on a 7-day weekly cycle, with same-day payment once the minimum trading days were met and the account was in profit. No verified payout statement is published by the firm, and the acquisition moved the withdrawal question over to Foxx Funded.
Reputation: a Trustpilot rating of 1.5/5
The Trustpilot page of neura-funding.com shows 1.5/5 across about fifty reviews. That is a very low level, reflecting marked user dissatisfaction, and one of the most negative signals on this record alongside the account migration.
Add to this the absence of regulation: SEMIZU L.L.C-FZ is not a regulated financial institution, neither in France, nor in Europe, nor in the Emirates. It is a simulated trading service, with no deposit protection from a regulator. This framework is the norm in the prop firm industry, but it means you should never put money you might need into these accounts.
Is Neura Funding still worth considering?
For a new subscription, no: the challenges are no longer sold and the firm has been absorbed by Foxx Funded. If you are looking for a comparable offer in 2026, the question therefore moves to Foxx Funded, keeping in mind that the buyer also inherits the brand's history.
For an existing client, the essentials are to check in the Foxx CRM that your Neura accounts appear under the same email address, to log into MT5 with the Foxx Limited server, and to get the withdrawal conditions applicable to your original contract confirmed in writing. Keep your statements: after an acquisition, they are the only documents that count in a dispute.

Verdict
Neura Funding had attractive rules on paper: 7% target, 8% maximum drawdown, split up to 90/10 and weekly payouts. But the acquisition by Foxx Funded, the closure of the challenges, official pages returning 404, an opaque rulebook on the sensitive points and a Trustpilot rating of 1.5/5 mean this prop firm has to be treated as a closed case. For a funded trader in 2026, the record to check is Foxx Funded's.
