Trading Plans

Compare each plan path, how it progresses, and the key funding and payout terms we have confirmed so far.

Single-stage evaluation path that leads to funded access after objectives are met.

Lark Funding is model-dependent. Traders either pass a 1-Step, 2-Step, or 3-Step evaluation and then complete KYC plus the trader agreement before receiving a funded Master Account, or they purchase an Instant model that skips the normal evaluation path and follows its own payout and drawdown rules.
Standard 1-Step, 2-Step, and 3-Step programs have first and subsequent payouts every 14 days. Instant accounts have first payout on demand and subsequent payouts every 30 days. Weekly payouts are available as an add-on. Minimum withdrawal is 100 USD, payouts use Riseworks, typical processing is under 6 hours but can take up to 3 business days, and a 40 USD processing fee applies.
Lark is strongly model-dependent on leverage. 1-Step materials show FX 30:1, Metals 20:1, Indices 10:1, Commodities 5:1, Crypto 2:1, and Stocks 5:1. 2-Step and 3-Step materials show FX 50:1, Metals 20:1, Indices 20:1, Commodities 5:1, Crypto 2:1, and Stocks 5:1. Instant Master materials show Forex 1:50, Indices 1:10, Crypto 1:2, Stocks 1:5, and reduced metal leverage.

Two-stage evaluation path that must be completed before funded access.

Lark Funding is model-dependent. Traders either pass a 1-Step, 2-Step, or 3-Step evaluation and then complete KYC plus the trader agreement before receiving a funded Master Account, or they purchase an Instant model that skips the normal evaluation path and follows its own payout and drawdown rules.

Immediate funded-access path that skips a traditional evaluation.

Lark Funding runs evaluation-style and instant-funded structures. Traders pass 1-Step, 2-Step, or 3-Step evaluations and then complete KYC and a trader agreement in the dashboard before receiving a funded Master Account. Instant products skip the standard evaluation path and use their own payout and drawdown logic.

Funded Account Structure

Lark Funding runs evaluation-style and instant-funded structures. Traders pass 1-Step, 2-Step, or 3-Step evaluations and then complete KYC and a trader agreement in the dashboard before receiving a funded Master Account. Instant products skip the standard evaluation path and use their own payout and drawdown logic.

Allowed Trading Instruments
Structured instrument coverage is still being normalized for this firm. For now, use the market badges and the plan and rules notes above as the best guide to what this firm supports.

Lark help content confirms KYC and trader-agreement completion before funded Master Account issuance, but a clean public restricted-country list did not surface in this pass.

For non-futures firms, this section summarizes challenge fees, commissions, spreads, swaps, activation costs, and other trader-facing cost notes when exact structured fee rows are not yet normalized.
A dedicated public commissions-and-fees article did not surface in this pass. Lark's published public materials are clearer on leverage, payout cadence, and weekend add-ons than on a full commission schedule.
General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
EAs, copy traders, scripts, and indicators are allowed, subject to Lark Funding's anti-abuse rules.
Lark Funding allows EAs, copy traders, scripts, and indicators, but prohibits toxic or rule-gaming behavior under its broader anti-abuse and challenge-integrity standards.
Copy Trading
Not allowed

Official rules explicitly allow EAs, copy traders, scripts, and indicators. Hedging is also marketed as unrestricted on the homepage, subject to the firm's general anti-abuse rules.

Microscalping Policy
A dedicated public microscalping rule did not surface beyond the firm's broader anti-abuse standards, so traders should not assume ultra-short-duration exploitative trading is acceptable.
Bots Policy

Automation tools are allowed, including EAs and scripts, as long as they stay within Lark Funding's published rules and anti-abuse standards.

DCA Policy

No explicit DCA or martingale policy surfaced in the current official materials reviewed for this firm.

Allowed Trading Hours
Lark Funding follows account-style restrictions rather than one universal trading session. Weekend holding is not allowed by default, and without the Hold Over the Weekend add-on trades must be closed by 3:45 PM EST Friday before the platform moves to close-only mode.
Move to Live Criteria

Lark Funding is model-dependent. Traders either pass a 1-Step, 2-Step, or 3-Step evaluation and then complete KYC plus the trader agreement before receiving a funded Master Account, or they purchase an Instant model that skips the normal evaluation path and follows its own payout and drawdown rules.

Rule Enforcement Notes

Lark Funding treats challenge completion, KYC, and trader-agreement acceptance as prerequisites for funded-account issuance, which implies enforcement through dashboard review and account-status gating rather than simple immediate credential release.

Refund Policy

Lark Funding states that challenge fees are refundable after traders reach their first reward or payout, rather than as an up-front unconditional cancellation right after trading has begun.

Activation Fee Policy

No separate funded-account activation fee surfaced in the reviewed official Lark Funding materials. The public pricing and refund language focus on challenge fees, instant-model pricing, and leverage add-ons instead.

VPN Policy
No dedicated VPN or VPS policy surfaced in the reviewed official Lark Funding materials.
Payout Methods

Standard 1-Step, 2-Step, and 3-Step programs have first and subsequent payouts every 14 days. Instant accounts have first payout on demand and subsequent payouts every 30 days. Weekly payouts are available as an add-on. Minimum withdrawal is 100 USD, payouts use Riseworks, typical processing is under 6 hours but can take up to 3 business days, and a 40 USD processing fee applies.
