How do I start a challenge?
Pick a plan on the
pricing section, create an account in the
trader portal, fill in your details at checkout and pay the one-time fee. Your MetaTrader 5
credentials are generated automatically and appear in your dashboard and inbox.
How fast do I get my MT5 account?
Usually within a minute. Provisioning is fully automated, and no human on our side
needs to click anything. If anything delays it, your dashboard shows the live status and the
credentials follow by email.
Is there a free trial?
No. Challenges start at $299 for a $25,000 account, and the fee is a one-time
payment refunded in full with your first payout. Coupon codes are accepted at checkout.
Are these live trading accounts?
No. All accounts are demo accounts with virtual funds running in a simulated
environment on real MetaTrader 5 servers. You never trade real money; you earn performance-based
rewards for meeting the objectives.
Can I use my own MT5 app?
Yes. The credentials work in MetaTrader 5 on desktop, mobile and in the web
terminal. Log in with the server, login and password from your dashboard.
How is the daily loss limit calculated?
Against your equity at the start of the trading day (server time), including
floating P&L. Example on a $100,000 account with a 5% limit: if the day starts at $102,000,
your equity floor for that day is $96,900. Crossing it fails the account automatically.
Static vs trailing drawdown — what's the difference?
Static drawdown is a fixed floor below the starting balance, e.g. $90,000 on a
$100,000 account with a 10% limit, forever. Trailing drawdown instead follows your equity
high-water mark, so the floor climbs as you profit. Every plan we sell uses static drawdown
(10% on 2-Step, 8% on Instant Funding); we do not use trailing drawdown at all.
What happens when I break a rule?
The risk engine fails the account, open positions are closed and the exact breach
reason (which rule, at what equity) is recorded in your dashboard. There are no partial
penalties and no discretionary reviews — the same code applies to everyone.
Is news trading allowed? Weekend holding? EAs?
Yes to all three. There are no news blackouts, no weekend-flat requirement and no
strategy bans. The only rules are the published loss limits, profit targets and minimum trading
days.
Can someone else trade my account?
Yes, with our approval. Account management is allowed once we have approved the
arrangement in writing, before any trading on your behalf starts. Write to
support@protradersfunding.com from your registered address and name
who will be trading. The account stays yours and so does responsibility for the rules: a limit
breached by your manager is still a breach of your account, and rewards are paid only to you
after KYC. Handing over credentials
without an approved arrangement is prohibited and can
trigger an account review. Full wording in Section 7 of the
Terms.
What counts as a trading day?
Any calendar day (server time) on which you executed at least one trade. Minimum
trading days per phase are listed on each plan card, typically 3–4.
Is there a time limit on the evaluation?
No. Take as long as you need. The account stays active as long as you respect
the loss limits.
How do payouts work?
Payouts are on demand: on a funded account, request a payout from your
dashboard whenever you have profit — there is no payout calendar and no minimum wait
between requests. After a one-time KYC verification each request is reviewed by our team
and paid out. Your share is 90% on evaluation plans and 70% on Instant Funding.
How fast are payouts?
Every payout request is reviewed within 24 hours of submission — your
dashboard shows the exact "decision by" time next to each pending request. Once approved,
the money goes out by your chosen method (bank transfer, Wise or USDT) and you receive a
verifiable payout certificate.
When do I get my challenge fee back?
The full fee is added to your first payout from the funded account.
How does the scaling plan work?
Each time a funded account grows by +15%, you choose from your dashboard: take
the profit as a payout, or move up to the next account size in our pricing. If you move up,
the profit pays for the upgrade and we set up a fresh account at the bigger size, funded from
day one. There is no application process and you can repeat it all the way to $2,000,000.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. Every passed evaluation and funded account gets a certificate with a unique
ID that anyone can check on the
verification page.
