For years, proprietary firms like Fidelcrest have held a place in the market, offering capital to talented traders. However, the industry is constantly changing, and trust, operational stability, and trader conditions are now more critical than ever.
While Fidelcrest’s mission was to help build “steady, sustainable profits” [User Provided Review], market reality demonstrated its fragility. Verso Prop Firm is built on a foundation of solidity, transparency, and programs designed to maximize the earning potential of our traders, addressing the shortcomings and instability seen in the competition.
Below is a detailed analysis that shows why Verso Prop Firm is the smartest decision for accessing funded accounts.
Who Are Fidelcrest?
Funding Models: Speed, Flexibility, and Unique Options
Fidelcrest structured its offerings into two main program families (Micro Trader and Pro Trader), each requiring a two-phase evaluation [User Provided Review]. While this is a standard, it limited options for the trader who already had a proven track record.
Verso Prop Firm revolutionizes access to capital by offering THREE definitive paths:
- Two-Phase Challenge: The traditional route to demonstrate consistency and risk management.
- One-Phase Challenge: A simplified evaluation process, significantly reducing the time to get funded.
- Instant Funding: Immediate access to a simulated trading account with virtual capital, without needing to pass evaluation phases. An unparalleled option for professionals looking to start trading immediately within a predefined risk framework.
The Irrefutable Verso Advantage:
Our Instant Funding and the One-Phase Challenge prove that we value your time and skill. We provide a speed to funding that the rigid two-phase structures of Fidelcrest simply could not match.
Maximum Profitability: Profit Splits Exceed 90%
The percentage of profits the trader retains is what truly defines the value of a prop firm.
- Fidelcrest: Offered a profit split ranging from 80% to a maximum of 90% (in their more aggressive programs) [User Provided Review].
- Verso Prop Firm: Our commitment to profitability is absolute. Our initial split starts at 80% and grows quickly:
| Profit Split at Verso Prop Firm | Requirement and Potential |
| 80% | Initial split. |
| 90% | Available upon consistent advancement, proven by being profitable for 3 consecutive months with 2 successful withdrawals. |
| 95% | The industry maximum. Available when selecting our enhanced profit split option from the start. |
The Irrefutable Verso Advantage:
By offering the possibility of retaining up to 95% of profits with our Premium option, we surpass Fidelcrest’s maximum and ensure that the largest portion of the generated profit stays in your pocket.
Trust and Incentive: Fee Refund Based on Your Success
The risk of paying for a failed evaluation is a legitimate concern.
- Fidelcrest: Fee refund was a possibility if the trader’s strategy was deemed “ineligible” by their Risk Desk [User Provided Review]. This was an ambiguous criterion dependent on an internal review.
- Verso Prop Firm: We eliminate the ambiguity. Our policy is a direct incentive for your success:
Your Challenge (evaluation) fee is fully refunded to the trader upon their first successful profit withdrawal request from the funded account.
The Irrefutable Verso Advantage:
If you pass the Challenge and make a profit, the evaluation is free for you. It’s a transparent and clear promise, tied to your performance, not the discretion of a risk committee.
Clear Rules and Professional Risk Management
The solidity of a prop firm is measured by the clarity of its rules and its commitment to long-term risk management.
News Trading
Fidelcrest was known for allowing news trading and overnight holding [User Provided Review]. At Verso, we offer flexibility with caution:
- Permitted in Challenges: You can trade news during our evaluation phases (unless otherwise specified).
- Regulated in Instant Funding: In the higher-capital, immediate-access accounts (Instant Funding), opening or closing trades 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after high-impact news is prohibited. This distinction is a smart risk management measure designed to protect the simulated capital.
Fostering Consistency (Inconsistency Score)
While most firms only measure profit and loss, Verso Prop Firm goes a step further by monitoring trading stability. We implement a Maximum Inconsistency Score. Although exceeding this limit may temporarily suspend withdrawals, this rule is designed to guide the trader towards stable and predictable performance, protecting them from extreme variations.
Transparency and Security
In the face of operational interruptions and the closure of competitors in the past, Verso Prop Firm operates with complete transparency, stating that all activities are executed in a simulated environment with virtual capital. This honesty is crucial for a business based on trust.
- Accessible Minimum Accounts: We offer funded (virtual) accounts starting at 5k capital, a lower entry point than the $15,000 minimum Fidelcrest handled, making it easier for traders at all stages to start.
- Integrity Enforced: We have a strict policy against the use of VPNs to hide location and copied trading between different client accounts. Our focus is on promoting individual skill and trader integrity.
Conclusion: Choose the Firm of the Future
The old prop firm structure has become obsolete. Modern traders demand more flexibility, higher profit splits, and a stable operational base.
