Every trader is required to pass our two-phase evaluation. In order to get started, select your desired account size and sign up for the challenge here. After completing the challenge successfully you will be provided a fully funded account.

Find a table showing the payouts for each respective sign up amount below:

The maximum daily loss on the account consisting of the account’s current result of opened positions and the result of positions closed on the given day must not at any time in the course of one working day exceed 6% of the initial balance of the account.

For the max total draw down, the equity of the account must not fall below 88% of the initial account balance both for open and closed positions, including commissions and swaps.

For both the Standard Challenge and One Step Challenge, the maximum daily loss is 6% of the accounts initial starting balance. All trading days reset at midnight at GMT +2 (5PM EST). The maximum total loss is 12% of the accounts starting balance. See the table below for the specific maximum drawdown parameters.

The actual trading strategy you use during the demo evaluation is completely up to you. Of course, any “trading styles” that are deemed as cheating are not allowed, this includes any style of demo account trading that would not result in profits in the real market, or would not be possible in real market trading conditions, for example, hedging trades between accounts, or an unrealistic execution price in the demo environment due to a news event causing volatility in the market. For more information on strategies that may be deemed unrealistic in the demo environment, please see the “Other rules to keep in mind” FAQ.

The leverage on all funded accounts is the following:

Forex 1:100

Gold and Commodities 1:40
Indices 1:20
Crypto 1:2

The maximum account size is $400,000 USD per account. With a total maximum account size of $600,000 USD per Trader. Traders may request to combine multiple accounts after the accounts have passed phase II before placing their first trade. 

Reach out to our support for help with merging accounts.

We allow our traders to use the MT4 (MetaTrader 4) platform. We are planning to add cTrader and MT5 (MetaTrader 5) functionality in the near future.

We currently offer all of our accounts through Nash Markets and Purple Trading Seychelles.

Password changes on evaluation accounts:

Any accounts that change their master or investor passwords at any time during the challenge automatically forfeit the challenge and are not eligible to continue trading. This is because in order to review your account, we need to have access to it, so if it is found that your password has been changed, there is not way for us to know if you have failed or not or if your strategies are legitimate. This means not connecting your account to services such as myfxbook, since they require users to change their investor password.

All accounts associated with our challenges must be traded on by only the trader who owns the account and must not be altered once a phase is passed.

Once you pass Phase 1 or Phase 2, please do not alter the account in any way, and make sure to close all positions. Altering an account after it has passed a phase will result in the account being invalid and therefore cause the trader to have to redo the that phase.

All accounts are demo accounts, it is against our rules to take advantage of this:

Even when a client becomes a Funded Trader, they will be provided a demo account with virtual funds equal. This account is connected to our Master account that places trades in the live market, according to the trades of our Funded Traders using a copy trading software. This is where the real cash flow is generated. Funded Traders are entitled to 80% of the profits made in this account. This is a common practice in this industry and allows the administration of funded accounts as well as risk management to be much simpler.

For this reason, it is against our rules to take advantage of strategies that generate risk-free, consistent profits only on demo accounts. Our Funded Traders are expected to be trading on their accounts as if they are live accounts, and any use of a strategy that takes advantage of demo accounts will result in closure of a Funded Trader’s account, whether in the evaluation phase or while funded.

Some example of these strategies include:

1. Use of the guarantee of compliance with limit orders (including Takeprofit and Stoploss)

2. Use of platform or data freezing due to a Demo Server error

3. Use of a delayed data feed

4. Trading on delayed charts

5. Trading at a time of significant macroeconomic reports, and being filled at an unrealistic price due to the volatility of the event

These are the most common strategies that people use to take advantage of demo accounts, but it is possible that there are more out there. If any account is seen to be using unfair strategies or an unrealistic trading style, they will not be eligible to be funded.

Trading Responsibly on Funded Accounts

If you fail the funded account in the first day that you acquire it, you will no longer be eligible for funding with our firm. This behavior is deemed as reckless and unprofessional and we no longer wish to work with individuals who trade this way.

No. We are a trading evaluation company.

To set up MT4, just go to the following page to download the client terminal from your respective broker:

Nash Markets: MT4 Download

Purple Trading Seychelles: MT4 Download

Once you have downloaded the client terminal, just log in on the terminal using the account login details that we provide to you, and you should be good to go!

If a trader ends Phase 1 in profit without violating the max daily loss or total loss while satisfying the minimum required days they will be eligible for a retry. If a trader ends Phase 2 in profit without violating the max daily loss or total loss while satisfying the minimum required days they will be eligible for a retry but has to start back on Phase 1. Traders are not eligible for retries under any other circumstances.

In order to maintain trade diversity and mitigate our risk we are prohibiting the use of EAs.

Indicators are not EAs, unlimited of them may be used for manual trading. No EA or script may follow multiple Indicators (one is perfectly allowed). Traders may request an exception of the indicator script rule by emailing [email protected] but it is under The Funded Trader’s sole discretion if an exception is granted. Violation of this rule will result in failure of the challenge and closure of all accounts.

The trader may have multiple challenge accounts but they are not allowed to use a Trade Copier within accounts. All trades must be your own. Violation of this rule will result in failure of the challenge and closure of all accounts.

We allow trading of the instruments available on your trading platform. This typically includes forex, commodities, indices, and crypto.

Traders with accounts eligible for payouts should submit an invoice by going to My Account > Withdrawal Request to submit an invoice for a payout. The traders account will then be reviewed and your payout will be processed. We offer the following payout methods: BTC and Wise (bank transfer). All traders are responsible for transaction fees associated with their payout.

A trader is eligible for a payout upon successfully completing the One Step Challenge, or for Standard Challenge Funded Accounts, one month from their initial trading day on the funded account and then again becomes eligible one month after every withdrawal. For example, a trader starts on the 5th, then is eligible for withdrawal then next 5th. If they receive their withdrawal on the 12th, they will be eligible to submit another withdrawal request the next 12th. All of the trader’s positions must be flat (no open trades and no open orders) to receive a payout.

A trader must be verified by submitting a government issued ID (drivers license/ passport), proof of address dated within the last 60 days, and submitting a signed Funded Trader Agreement before being eligible for any payouts.  Go to My Account > Withdrawal Request.

The scaling plan allows traders to grow their account size based on consistent performance, allowing them to increase their potential payouts over time.

Trader’s accounts are reviewed every 3 months, if a trader has been profitable for at least 2 out of the last 3 months, with an average return of 6% over the 3 month period, or a 2% return monthly for 3 months they become eligible for an account size increase equal to 25% of their original account balance. You must make two withdrawals during this 3 month period. The Funded Trader allows these 25% account increases to take your account balance all the way up to $1.5M USD. You will also be eligible for 90% payouts once you qualify for the scaling plan. 

During all phases of our programs there are no lot size limits. We do not add any extra limits on top of what the broker allows.

THIS ONLY APPLIES TO FULLY FUNDED ACCOUNTS AND NOT THE CHALLENGE.  For indices please use a max 0.50 per positions, as we need this for copying purposes. You can enter as many positions as leverage allows using 0.50 so there is NO LIMIT. We need the positions to be broken down into smaller entries in order to copy over to live server more efficiently. If you do not follow this rule you will be warned about it one time then it will be escalated. 

Traders can open a demo account for any of our programs and see the current spreads for all the trading instruments. We do not charge a markup on broker commissions. They are currently $5 round turn for both brokers
