Questions, answered

Everything traders ask before they buy, answered plainly. The full measurement of every rule is on the rules page.

Getting started

FundedTick is a prop trading firm. You prove your skill on an evaluation account under published rules; pass, and you trade a funded account and keep 80% of the profit, paid bi-weekly.

No. You pay a one-time evaluation fee, and that is the only money you ever put in. You never deposit trading capital, and the fee comes back in full with your first payout.

Pick a challenge type and an account size, hit the profit target while staying inside the drawdown limits, and the engine confirms your pass the moment it happens. The funded account provisions itself; there is no review queue.

Two. 1-Step: one stage, a 10% target, straight to funded. 2-Step: a 5% target then a 10% target, with more drawdown room. Both have no time limit.

$1,000, $2,000, $3,000, $5,000 and $10,000, on both challenge types. Evaluations start at $9.

You register once, as yourself. From there you may run several accounts at the same time, on either challenge type, as long as their combined starting size stays within $15,000.

No. An account stays on the broker it was bought on, so try the broker and its trading conditions on a demo account before you purchase.

There is no experience requirement. The rules reward discipline more than anything else, so read the rules page before you buy.

MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, with a supported broker. You trade forex currency pairs, indices, gold and metals, and crypto, plus anything else the broker has enabled.

The rules

No. Take the time your strategy needs. The only clock is inactivity: an account with no trade for 30 days closes.

Daily drawdown resets from your balance once a day, at the countdown timer shown in your trader panel, and total drawdown is one fixed floor from your starting balance. Nothing trails, and nothing tightens after you start.

Both are allowed, on every plan. Weekend days do not count toward the minimum trading days, and the spread widening and slippage around major releases are yours to manage; a floor crossed on a news tick is still crossed.

Gap trading, arbitrage between markets or brokers, double-sided bracket orders, high-frequency bursts, martingale and grid systems, coordinated or group trading, and copying another trader’s account. The list is closed: if a practice is not on it, it is not prohibited.

No. The rules are fixed the moment your account provisions and stay the same for its whole life. What the plan says is what the engine enforces.

Yes, 3. Hit the target on day one and your pass confirms the moment your third trading day is on record.

You may copy your own personal account into your FundedTick account. Hedging between accounts is not allowed, and every trade must stay open at least 30 seconds.

The account stops the moment a limit is crossed. You keep your trading profile and full history so you can see exactly what went wrong, and you can start a new evaluation at the normal fee. There is no other penalty.

Getting paid

80% of the profit on your funded account, paid bi-weekly. The split is written on the plan, not “up to”.

One: on the funded $10K account only, no single day may account for more than 40% of your profit. It is published here and on the rules page, not discovered at withdrawal. There is no first-payout cap and no profit buffer.

Your entire evaluation fee is returned with your first payout. Pass, get paid once, and the evaluation cost you nothing.

Yes. Refer a new trader and you earn 5% of their first purchase, credited to your referral balance; later purchases earn nothing. You can withdraw from that balance from $5.

Trust

Yes. Evaluation and funded accounts are simulated accounts on live market data. FundedTick is not a broker and holds no client deposits. Payouts are real money, calculated from your performance under the published rules.
