  • What are the rules for my Funded Account?

    The rules for the Funded Account are exactly the same as those for your Evaluation account. However, there is no account growth target with a Funded account.

  • Once I pass the Evaluation, will I receive a demo or Funded account?

    Once you pass the Evaluation, we will provide you with a Funded account backed by our capital. The capital in your Funded Account is notional and may not match the amount of capital on deposit with the Broker. A Funded Account is notionally funded when actual funds in the account (i.e., the equity in a Funded Account represented by the amount of capital) differs from the nominal account size (i.e., the size of the Funded Account that establishes the initial account value and level of trading).

  • How Long does it take to receive my Funded Account?

  • How do I withdraw the gains in my Funded Account?

    Traders can request a withdrawal of the gains in their Funded Account at any time in their trader dashboard, but no more frequently than twice per thirty (30) days. So, if you make gains in your Funded Account, you can request a withdrawal. When you are ready to withdraw the gains from your Funded Account, click the Withdrawals button in your trader dashboard and enter the amount to withdraw. Once your withdrawal request is approved, you can withdraw it via any available method. We currently offer crypto payouts and fiat payouts via Bank.

  • Do we manipulate the pricing or executions you receive in your Funded Account?

    No. We operate at an arm's length with the Broker. All market pricing and trade executions are provided by the Broker and are not changed or modified by us. Additionally, we do not mark up transaction costs established by the Broker through adjusting bid-offer spreads, markups/markdowns, commission charges, or swaps.

  • Am I subject to any position limits?

    We reserve the right to limit the number of open positions you may enter or maintain in the Funded Account at any time and to revise the drawdown levels at which trading in the Funded Account will be halted in response to market conditions. The Broker or we reserve the right to refuse to accept any order.

    Account inactivity is calculated as follows: - If your account remains inactive for 30 calendar days, it will be considered breached, applicable to both Evaluation and simulated Funded Accounts. - If you fail to log in to your account for 30 days, it will be automatically deleted on the Platform sides, resulting in a hard breach.

    You're permitted to trade during news events, but our system will cancel out any profits made within a 4-minute window (2 minutes before and 2 minutes after) of high-impact news events. You can keep your trades open during this time, but you won't be able to open or close new positions. Repeatedly violating this rule may result in account restrictions. Additionally, any trades placed or closed within the 4-minute window during evaluation phases will lead to account restrictions. High-impact news events are those listed in the red folder on ForexFactory.
