Hola Prime review
Hola Prime is a prop firm whose website is owned by Hola Prime Limited in Hong Kong, with offices in Hong Kong and Dubai, and it runs separate forex and futures programs. Its forex and CFD accounts trade on MetaTrader 5 and cTrader, with Match Trader and TradeLocker offered to clients in the United States and the United Kingdom. There are four forex models. The 1 Step Prime asks for a 10% target with a 3% daily loss limit and a 6% maximum loss. The 2 Step Prime and 2 Step Pro both use targets of 8% and 5% with a 5% daily limit and a 10% maximum loss, tightened to 4% and 8% on the $200,000 size. Prime accounts use 1:50 forex leverage and allow news trading and weekend holding, while Pro accounts offer 1:100 but restrict both at the funded stage. The Direct Account skips the evaluation, with a 3% daily limit, a 7% trailing drawdown and a 20% consistency rule. Challenge sizes run from $2,000 to $200,000, and list prices on the default fortnightly payout option range from $9 for a $2,000 2 Step Prime to $1,199 for a $200,000 2 Step Pro. Traders choose a payout cycle at purchase: fortnightly at 80%, monthly at 95% or on demand at 80%. There is no time limit, and a stop loss is mandatory on funded accounts.
Suits
Disciplined forex traders who use a stop loss on every trade and want fast payouts with a choice of fortnightly, monthly or on demand cycles.
Less suited to
Avoid Hola Prime if you trade without stop losses, risk more than 2% on a single idea, or rely on an expert advisor outside MT5.
Pros
- Approved payouts are processed within an hour, with a $50 minimum by bank wire or crypto.
- Prime accounts allow news trading and weekend holding on both the challenge and funded stages.
- Traders can choose a monthly payout cycle with a 95% profit split.
- The maximum loss on the challenges is a fixed floor set from the starting balance.
- Four platforms are supported, and clients in the United States are accepted on Match Trader and TradeLocker.
Cons
- Funded accounts require a stop loss on every trade and cap the risk per trade idea at 2% of the starting balance.
- Every payout carries a 2.5% processing fee, with a minimum of $25 on bank wire and Rise.
- The payout cycle is fixed at purchase and cannot be changed later.
- Expert advisors are allowed only on MT5 and only with a paid add on.
- The 2 Step Pro restricts news trading and weekend holding once the account is funded.
Verdict
Hola Prime's main strengths are payout speed and choice. Approved payouts are processed within an hour after a review of up to 24 business hours, the minimum withdrawal is $50 by bank wire or crypto, and traders can pick a fortnightly, monthly or on demand cycle at purchase, paying more for the 95% monthly split. The Prime challenges are the more flexible choice, since news trading and weekend holding are allowed on both the challenge and funded stages, and the maximum loss is a fixed floor below the starting balance. The 2 Step Pro offers double the forex leverage but restricts news trading and weekend holding once funded. Several rules deserve attention before buying. Funded accounts require a stop loss on every trade and cap the risk on any single trade idea at 2% of the starting balance, and a breach ends the account. The payout cycle cannot be changed after purchase, a 2.5% processing fee applies to every payout, and expert advisors are only permitted on MT5 with a paid add on. Hola Prime also discloses a 35% pass rate for customers who traded an evaluation between November 2024 and May 2025, which gives a useful sense of how demanding the challenges are. Trustpilot shows a rating of 4.5 from more than 3,800 reviews. The firm suits disciplined swing and news traders who use stop losses as standard and value fast, predictable payouts over the loosest possible rules.

Questions about Hola Prime
Is Hola Prime legit?
The Hola Prime website belongs to Hola Prime Limited in Hong Kong, which has a subsidiary in Cyprus and offices in Hong Kong and Dubai. A group company in Mauritius holds a Financial Services Commission licence for its MT5 services. Trustpilot shows a rating of 4.5 from more than 3,800 reviews, and the firm publishes a payout transparency report on its website.
How much does a Hola Prime challenge cost?
On the default fortnightly payout option, a $10,000 account costs $69 on the 2 Step Prime, $89 on the 1 Step Prime and $109 on the 2 Step Pro. A $100,000 account costs $569, $579 and $681 respectively. Choosing the monthly 95% or on demand payout option raises the price, and the Direct Account costs $1,049 at $100,000.
What is the difference between Hola Prime Pro and Prime?
The two step versions of both use targets of 8% and 5%. Prime accounts use 1:50 forex leverage and allow news trading and weekend holding at every stage. The 2 Step Pro offers 1:100 forex leverage and needs two trading days per phase instead of three, but once funded it bans trading high impact news and holding positions over the weekend.
How fast does Hola Prime pay out?
Each payout request goes through a compliance review that can take up to 24 business hours, and it is then processed within one hour. Payouts run on business days only. The minimum is $50 by bank wire or crypto and $500 through Rise, and a 2.5% processing fee applies. A KYC interview is required before the first payout.
Does Hola Prime allow news trading?
News trading is allowed without restriction on the 1 Step Prime and 2 Step Prime challenges and their funded accounts. On funded 2 Step Pro and Direct accounts, traders cannot open or close positions on affected instruments from five minutes before to five minutes after a high impact release, and stop loss or take profit fills inside that window also count.
Does Hola Prime have a scaling plan?
Yes. After at least four months of trading, an account with 10% net profit, at least two profitable months, two payouts and a positive balance can grow by 25% of its starting size. Later scalings add 40% and then 50% of the initial balance each time, up to a ceiling of $4 million.
