Orion Funded at Prop Firm Expo London 2026: What Traders Should Know

Most prop firms compete on rules and pricing alone. Orion Funded has built something less common in the space: a defined community. The firm is one of the most prominent Spanish-speaking prop firms across Spain and Latin America, and it backs that community focus with a physical trading floor in Dubai where it hosts in-person events for its traders. For a Spanish-speaking trader, or anyone who values a firm with a real-world presence rather than a purely online one, that positioning is genuinely distinctive.

Orion Funded will appear at Prop Firm Expo London 2026 on June 27 at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre as a Gold Sponsor. For traders who want to understand the firm's programs and how its community-driven model works in practice, the event is a useful setting to do that work in person.

For attendees, Gold-level access means a few different ways to engage with the firm, like a booth on the floor, a secondary stage session, and supporting content across Prop Firm Match and Prop Firm Expo channels. That gives a trader more than one setting in which to test what the team says, rather than relying on a single conversation.

Orion Funded is a UAE-based prop firm led by CEO David Viota. The firm was created in September 2023 and has been operating for two years. Since launch, it has grown to serve a large international base spanning well over a hundred countries, with particular strength across Spanish-speaking markets.

The trading environment is built around CFDs. Orion Funded uses OGM International LTD as its broker, with Match Trader and MT5 as the supported platforms. Asset coverage is broad: FX, metals, indices, energy, crypto, other commodities, and stocks. Commissions are $4 on FX, metals, energy, and other commodities, with no commission on indices, crypto, or stocks. Payouts are processed through Crypto and Riseworks, with account sizes available up to $200,000.

What separates Orion Funded from other CFD prop firms is not a single rule or price point. It is the combination of a defined community and a clean, well-structured program lineup that gives traders four distinct routes based on how they want to get funded.

Orion Zero is the instant-funding route. No evaluation is required and a trader starts immediately. The trade-offs are in the rules: news trading is allowed, but trades opened or closed within five minutes of a high-impact news event are subject to a 50% reward split instead of the standard 80%, and a Best Day Rule applies, under which no single trading day can account for more than 20% of the total requested profit. That is an unusual and fairly transparent way to handle the risks of an instant-funded account; rather than prohibiting news trading outright, the firm prices it, and the Best Day Rule keeps payouts tied to consistent performance rather than a single outsized session.

Orion Lite is the one-step evaluation. It runs a single 10% profit target and is positioned as the fastest route to a funded account. For traders who are confident in their edge and want to minimise the evaluation process, this is the route to ask about.

Orion Standard is the two-step evaluation and the firm's most popular program. It is also the route that offers both Standard and Swing account types, which means a trader who needs to hold positions over weekends or through news events without restriction can do so under the Swing variant. On Swing, news trading is fully allowed with no restrictions. This is a meaningful difference for traders whose strategies depend on it.

Orion Select is the three-step evaluation. It carries the lowest per-phase profit targets and the most affordable entry, which makes it the route for traders who prefer to clear smaller targets across more phases rather than larger targets across fewer.

Across all four programs, leverage varies by asset and structure, reaching up to 1:100 on FX for the Instant and 2-Step routes. The firm also runs a scaling plan for traders who want to grow their account size over time.

Orion Funded's rules are mostly standard for a serious CFD prop firm, but a few are worth understanding before evaluation.

News trading is handled differently across programs, as noted above: restricted around high-impact events on most funded accounts, priced into the reward split on Orion Zero, and fully open on the Swing variant of Orion Standard. Worth confirming which applies to the program you are considering.

Expert Advisors are allowed, provided they comply with the firm's trading rules and are not used for prohibited strategies, latency exploitation, or ultra-fast execution.

The Best Day Rule and risk management rules are worth understanding. The Best Day Rule applies specifically to the Orion Zero program: no single trading day can account for more than 20% of the total requested profit. In practice, that means a trader on Orion Zero needs to build profit across multiple days rather than clearing most of a payout in one day. Separately, the firm's general risk management rules expect trading to reflect how a reasonable person would manage risk on a real account, meaning position sizes, trade frequency, and risk per trade should stay broadly consistent. Strategies that build cumulative exposure in a single symbol through repeated risk increases fall outside what the firm considers standard. Worth asking the team to walk through what that looks like in practice if your style involves variable position sizing.

Copy trading is permitted only between accounts owned by the same trader within Orion Funded. External services and cross-trader replication are prohibited.

The starting question is which of the four routes matches how you want to get funded.

If you want to skip evaluation entirely, Orion Zero is the route, but ask the team to walk through how the news-window reward split works in practice, since it directly affects payouts on trades placed around high-impact events. If you want the fastest standard route to funded, Orion Lite and its single 10% target is the conversation. If you want the most established route or need swing-trading flexibility, Orion Standard (and its Swing variant) is worth discussing in detail. If you would rather clear smaller targets across more phases at a lower entry cost, Orion Select is the route.

Beyond program choice, the community angle is worth exploring at the booth. Orion Funded's Dubai trading floor and in-person events are unusual in a space that is almost entirely online, and if that kind of real-world presence and community matters to you, particularly as a Spanish-speaking trader, it is worth asking the team how that community works and what access traders get.

• Which of the four routes is best suited to my style: Orion Zero, Lite, Standard, or Select?
• On Orion Zero, how does the 50% reward split around news events work in practice, and how often does it affect active traders?
• For a swing trader, what does the Swing variant of Orion Standard offer that the standard version does not?
• The risk management rules expect consistent position sizing. What does the firm consider outside the norm in practice?
• How does the scaling plan work, and what does a realistic path to a larger account look like?
• What access do traders get to the Dubai trading floor and in-person community events?
• For a Spanish-speaking trader, what support and resources does the firm offer in Spanish?

Use the secondary stage session and supporting content to test how clearly Orion Funded explains its four routes and its community model. The useful signal is whether the team can speak to who each program is built for, and how the community side genuinely adds value rather than functioning as branding.

Use booth time to narrow the decision around your own trading. Bring your preferred asset class, your account-size range, and your trading style. If you already know whether you lean toward instant funding, a one-step, two-step, or three-step evaluation, this is where Orion Funded should be able to give you a more precise answer than a static listing can provide.

Orion Funded will appear at Prop Firm Expo London 2026 on June 27 at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre as a Gold Sponsor. For attendees comparing CFD prop firms, that is a useful opportunity to evaluate a firm with a genuinely distinctive community model and to test how its four-route program structure fits the way you actually trade.

If Orion Funded is already on your shortlist, use the expo to get precise. Focus on which route fits your trading, how the news and risk-management rules would apply to your strategy, and what the community side offers. That is a stronger way to use Gold-level access than relying on visibility alone.

To prepare before the event, you can review Orion Funded's full profile, including broker details, supported platforms, payout structures, and verified trader reviews, on the Orion Funded page on Prop Firm Match.
