Strix Options Funding Express Review (2026): 8% Target, Prices & Payouts

What is Strix Options Funding Express?

It is Strix Options Funding's lower-target, lower-price evaluation: the same one-time fee model and funded stage as the Strix Plan, with an 8% target against a 4% drawdown that trails in real time.

What are the Strix Options Funding Express rules?

Hit the 8% target without touching the 4% trailing drawdown, whose floor follows your equity peak in real time, intraday. There is no consistency rule, no daily loss limit, no minimum days and no deadline. Express is buy-only: single-leg calls and puts; opening any short leg needs Strix Pro. Expiring options are closed for you at 3:55 PM ET (4:10 PM for SPY, QQQ, IWM and DIA).

Options only, on 180 approved tickers (SPY, QQQ, SPX, SPXW, IWM, NVDA, TSLA and more); no stock trading in the evaluation or funded. Overnight and weekend holds and CPI, FOMC and earnings trading are allowed. There is no API or automation: every order is placed by hand on RixTrade, a web platform that also runs in a mobile browser. Up to 10 evaluation or funded accounts at once.

How much does Strix Options Funding Express cost?

$119 for the 10K, $179 for the 25K, $229 for the 50K and $339 for the 100K, paid once. Our code FE takes 55% off: $53.55, $80.55, $103.05 and $152.55.

How do Strix Options Funding Express payouts work?

Funded, each payout needs 8 qualifying winning days in the cycle (not in a row): $100 on the 10K or 25K, $150 on the 50K, $200 on the 100K. Then take up to 50% of profit, from $250, $500, $1,000 or $2,000, capped for payouts 1 to 4 (the 100K at $2,000, $3,000, $4,000 and $10,000), at 80/20.

Payouts go by ACH or wire from Mercury (international wire outside the US) after an ID and selfie check before the first one; approved payouts typically clear within a few business days. From the second payout, your balance at request time must sit at least $1 above the balance at your last request.

What happens after you pass Strix Options Funding Express?

The funded drawdown keeps trailing in real time until the floor reaches your starting balance, then locks there. There is no consistency rule once funded, and a breached funded account is closed for good.

Live is at Strix's discretion: you cannot apply. A Live Program Notice gives you 30 days to answer. Accepting closes every evaluation and funded account and cancels pending payout requests unpaid; declining closes your accounts and pays pending requests capped at $3,000 in total. The one live account, with real capital at Interactive Brokers, is 50% of your largest funded plan ($12,500, $25,000 or $50,000; 10K accounts are not eligible), defined-risk positions only, with a daily loss limit until the floor locks, 80/20, a $100 minimum and no cap.

How does Strix Options Funding Express compare to Options Funding Express 100K?

Options Funding Express 100K scores 4.3/10 against Strix Express 100K's 5.4. Both are buy-only with an intraday drawdown, but Options Funding asks a 10% target and bills $155.60 a month with that firm's code until you pass; Strix Express is $152.55 once with code FE.

Every Strix plan is compared side by side on the Strix Options Funding page, and any two firms on the comparison hub.

Is Strix Options Funding Express worth it?

The 100K rates 5.4/10 (Fair). It suits options traders who buy calls and puts and want the lowest price and an 8% target. The intraday trailing drawdown, the activation fee, 8 winning days per payout and the 80/20 split are the trade-offs.

Scores follow the Enigma Rating method: value, risk cushion, payout reach and pass ease.
