Lark Funding: Canada-Based CFD Prop Firm Since 2022
Lark Funding is a CFD prop trading firm based in Canada, established in June 2022. The firm offers one of the largest maximum account sizes in the prop sector, reaching up to $1,000,000 on eligible programs. Lark provides Instant Funding, 1-Stage (1-step), and 3-Stage (3-step) evaluation programs, making it suitable for both traders who want a quick path to funding and those who prefer a structured multi-phase evaluation.
The 3-Stage Evaluation covers account sizes from $10,000 to $200,000. Pricing: 200K at $712.50 (standard $750), 100K at $351.50 (standard $370), 50K at $266 (standard $280), 25K at $166.25 (standard $175), 10K at $99.75 (standard $105).

Lark supports three platforms ā cTrader, DXTrade, and Match Trader ā alongside MT4 and MT5. The tradable universe is broad: FX (40+ pairs), Metals, Indices, Crypto (100+ derivatives), Stocks (major US, Australian, LSE, and XETRA), and Other Commodities. Leverage varies by program and instrument: FX reaches 1:50 on Instant and 3-Step, 1:30 on 1-Step; Metals go up to 1:50 on Instant and 1:20 on evaluations; Crypto is capped at 1:2; Stocks at 1:5. Weekend holding and overnight positions are permitted.
Profit splits are: Instant 90% default; 1-Step and 3-Step 80% default. Minimum payout is $100. Timing: Instant funding pays on demand for the first payout, then every 30 days; 1-Step and 3-Step pay bi-weekly. Payouts are processed via Riseworks. Payments are accepted via Credit/Debit Card and Crypto only. Traders must execute at least one trade every 30 days to avoid account deactivation.
Lark Funding appeals to traders who want large account sizes (up to $1,000,000), a multi-platform environment including DXTrade, and access to over 100 crypto derivatives. A daily gain limit of $10,000 applies: gains exceeding this threshold reset Phase 1 progress during the challenge, or exclude the excess from payout during the funded stage. Copy trading is permitted between Lark funded accounts or from a Lark funded account to one evaluation account; copying between multiple evaluation accounts is prohibited. All-or-nothing trading is explicitly prohibited.
