EVALUATION
No, the standard evaluation does not allow the use of any high frequency or arbitrage strategies. Using such systems to bypass the standard evaluation rules will result in the violation of your challenge.
Differentiating the challenge models allows us to better understand our traders strategy and to better monitor our future market exposure. This ultimately helps CAPITAL FOR TRADERS Funded risk modeling and enables more efficient risk management as an institution, so we can provide more stability and long term benefits to our traders.
Yes, If you violate any rules, your account will be suspended. But you will receive the opportunity to continue with the program at a discounted price.
This re-enrollment cost is also known as a “restart” fee, as it will restart your business cycle. This option is applicable for Royal CFT, Standard CFT and Rapid CFT challenges. The reset fee is 90% of the original price for Royal CFT and Standard CFTt and 85% of the original price for Rapid CFT.

The original price of the account is $399.99 at Stantard CFT If you breach your account during your Phase 1, or Phase 2 trading cycle you will not be eligible to trade on the account. But in CAPITAL FOR TRADERS, traders can restart their trading journey by paying $…. as a restart fee in this situation, and in the case of a Rapid CFT challenge a 100k evaluation model original account price is $…… in case of not being Eligible as a funded trader can request a reset worth $…….

Yes, our program allows you to carry out operations during the weekend and at night throughout your evaluation and trader funded process.
This can be assessed on a case-by-case basis. If you account has been suspended, you will receive a member discount for future Evaluations.
If you breach the consistency rules, you will not lose your Funded Account – we would only remove the specific trades from the profit/restart the account.
Yes, all types of EAs are allowed in CAPITAL FOR TRADERS during the evaluation stage, but once you have your account funded you will not be able to use it, if you use it you would be violating the rules and you will lose the account funding.
Make sure you use your own EAs instead of copying others’ trades.
Yes, hedging is allowed, however, using multiple accounts to hedge entries between them will be considered as a violation of rules. This includes hedging between clients.
Hedging your own account to protect a position for example, is completely allowed. Hedging two different accounts/individuals, taking opposite positions in each to bypass the rules, is not allowed.
Yes, we work with consistency-based rules. These rules ensure that we are working with legitimate traders who apply a consistent risk management and strategy to their accounts. As an institution, we must apply this rule to filter the most consistent traders and avoid people who are purely gambling.
Yes, each trader is responsible for his/her own account credentials – sharing the details with third parties is outside of out control and is not permitted. Sharing your funded account credentials may lead to having the account suspended.
In the funded account, you need to have 10 trading days (first withdrawal) or 7 trading days (subsequent withdrawals). Requesting a payout without meeting this means it will be declined and you will be able to request it again in a few days time.
HFT bots do not work nor are allowed in the funded stage.
You will not lose your account. Our risk team will only remove the profits from the amount being withdrawn and if these are greater than your PnL, your account will be reset to its original balance to give you a second chance.
Yes, only between your personal accounts. We use cutting edge technology for risk management and if you have a large proportion of trades deemed as copy, this is an infringement of our rules.
Our consistency rule only applies at the funding stage and is evaluated at withdrawal. Traders must participate in a minimum of 10 trading days in order to request withdrawal.
At the time you request a withdrawal, we will review your trading history and adjust your balance for any trades that fall outside your trading range.
To determine your trading range, you must first calculate your average trade size.
Divide the total volume of lots you have traded by the number of trades executed to find your average lot size.
Example
100 total lots operated
50 total operations executed
100 lots divided by 50 trades = Average lot size of 2
Now to determine your average lot size range see the following Average lot size x 0.25 = Bottom of your range
Average lot size x 2.00 = Top of your range
In our previous example 2 x 0.25 = 0.5 lots
2 x 2.0 = 4 lots
So your trades should be between 0.5 and 4 lots. Any trade that is outside the range will be eliminated at the time of withdrawal and also 1 trade cannot be more than 35% of the total profits, this is to prevent traders from going “all out” ahead of news or gambling, rather than applying sound risk management.
Note trades are added when placed within a 1 minute window on a position to achieve consistency in both profits and volume.
Third party account management is not allowed – each trade must trade his/her own accounts.
Duplicated IPs?
Duplicated IPs between different users in the funded account is a breach of our rules.
Change of IPs?
You do not need to notify us about IP changes. We understand you may use mobile, VPS and travel from time to time. Having different IPs is not an issue.
