Optional add-ons for the two-step challenge
Optional add-ons, selected when you buy your challenge. Here is exactly what each one does.
Profit Share — increase your profit share to 90%+
By default, funded traders keep a 75% share of the profit. This add-on increases your profit share on funded accounts to 90%, so you keep more of what you earn. It is selected at the point of sale when you purchase your challenge.
Hold Over Weekend — keep positions open over the weekend+
By default, all positions must be flat (closed) before the weekend. This add-on disables the ‘Flat for Weekend’ requirement, so you can keep positions open over the weekend. Please note that only crypto instruments can be traded over the weekend.
Remove Lock on Payout — withdraw without locking your Maximum Drawdown+
Your first withdrawal can be requested at any time, and thereafter every 30 days. Normally, when a withdrawal is approved, your Maximum Drawdown locks in at your starting balance and does not reset. Example: you grow an account from $100,000 to $120,000 and withdraw $16,000 — you receive $12,000, we retain our $4,000 share, the balance goes to $104,000, and your Maximum Drawdown locks at $100,000, leaving only $4,000 of room before a breach. A full withdrawal of the gains would lock the Maximum Drawdown at the starting balance and forfeit the funded account. This add-on removes that lock, so you can withdraw — even in full — without putting your funded account at risk.
Payout Protector — get paid on your gains even if you breach+
Payout Protector lets you still receive a payout on any gains in your account even if you breach the account, provided all other withdrawal conditions are met and the account is not otherwise in violation of the Terms and Conditions. Example: on a $100,000 funded account with $8,000 in gains at the time of the breach — without Payout Protector the account is closed and the $8,000 is forfeited; with Payout Protector the account is still closed due to the breach, but you still receive your share of the $8,000 gain.
A premium funding environment built around clarity.
TradeForFund is positioned as a professional capital access brand for traders who value transparent rules, premium presentation, and a clean path from evaluation to funded account access.
Frequently asked questions
Key program, rule, funded account, and platform questions based on the current WL1 FAQ set.
Can I use an Automated Strategy?+
Subject to the policy on Prohibited Trading, you can trade using an automated strategy.
How are taxes handled?+
When trading a Funded Account for the firm, you are treated as an independent contractor. As a result, you are responsible for any and all taxes on your gains.
How will I see the charge on my Statement?+
Charges come across in the name of dashboardanalytix.com.
What is the minimum age I must be to be part of the program?+
You must be at least 18 years of age, or the applicable minimum legal age in your country, to purchase an assessment.
Can I trade during News Events?+
Opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a News Event is prohibited. Traders identified as having opened a position during a News Event may have that position closed, the associated P&L removed, leverage reduced, or the account breached altogether.
Do I have to use one of your accounts for the Assessment or can I use my own?+
You must use an account provided by the company because the risk management software is synced with those accounts to analyze performance and rule violations in real time.
Do your accounts charge commissions?+
Assessment and Funded accounts receive the same pricing and commissions as charged by the Liquidity Provider to other self-funded retail trading accounts.
How are affiliates credited?+
Affiliates are credited for referrals when a user creates an account using a link or discount code provided by the Affiliate.
What are the trading hours?+
Trading hours are generally set by the Liquidity Provider, unless set by the rules. You can view product trading hours directly on the supported platform.
What Countries are accepted?+
Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, traders from all countries excluding OFAC listed countries can take part in the program unless otherwise limited at the company’s discretion.
What is the leverage?+
1 Step plans offer up to 20:1 leverage on Forex and Metals, up to 10:1 on Indices, up to 5:1 on Oil and up to 2:1 on Cryptocurrencies. 2 Step plans can increase max leverage for Forex and Metals to 30:1.
How many Assessments and/or Funded accounts may I have active at one time?+
A maximum of $1 million in active evaluation plans per person is permitted and a maximum of $1 million in active funded plans per person is permitted, subject to plan-size and step-framework limits.
What is the policy on Prohibited Trading Activity?+
Prohibited Trading includes latency abuse, insider information, front-running, broker relationship jeopardy, regulatory abuse, challenge-passing strategies sold by third parties, strategy switching between evaluation and funded phases, arbitrage, trading around news events, and gambling-style risk taking.
What Platform can I trade on?+
The technology is currently integrated with DXtrade, MatchTrader, cTrader and GooeyPro platforms via GooeyTrader.
What products can I trade?+
You can trade any products streamed by the Liquidity Provider into the available platforms, including FX pairs and CFD Indices, Commodities, Metals, and Cryptocurrencies.
Where do I track the progress of my account?+
Upon purchasing an Assessment, you receive access to a trader dashboard where you can monitor your Assessment and Funded Accounts in near real time.
How do you calculate the Daily Loss Limit?+
The Daily Loss Limit is the maximum amount an account may lose in a single trading day. It resets at 5:00 PM EST and is calculated using the greater of the prior day’s end-of-day balance or end-of-day equity.
How do you calculate the Max Drawdown (STATIC)?+
Maximum drawdown is the maximum your account can draw down before hard breach. It is set at a defined percentage of your starting balance and does not trail.
How do you calculate the Max Drawdown (TRAILING)?+
The Maximum Trailing Drawdown initially trails using closed balance, not equity, until a predefined return is achieved. After that, it locks in at the starting balance.
Is there a breach for inactivity?+
Yes. If you do not have any trading activity for 30 consecutive days, the account is considered inactive and breached.
What is 1 lot equal to on the Trading Platform?+
Forex: 1 lot = $100k notional. Index: 1 lot = 1 contract, with exceptions such as SPX500 = 10 contracts and JPN225 = 500 contracts. Crypto: 1 lot = 1 coin. Silver: 1 lot = 5000 ounces. Gold: 1 lot = 100 ounces. Oil: 1 lot = 100 barrels.
What is the difference between a Hard Breach and Soft Breach rule?+
A soft breach closes violating trades but lets you continue trading. A hard breach means you violated the Daily Loss Limit, Max Drawdown, or Inactivity rule and you fail the Assessment or lose the Funded Account.
Can I hold positions over the weekend?+
All trades must be closed by 3:45 PM EST on Friday unless a Weekend Hold add-on has been purchased. Only crypto instruments are available for weekend trading.
Is Copy Trading allowed?+
Group trading, signal services, passing services, or any method that bypasses individual strategy are not allowed. Copy trading is only permitted if the trader owns all accounts involved.
What are the rules for the Funded Account?+
The rules for the Funded Account are exactly the same as the Assessment account, except that there is no profit target.
If I have a hard breach in my Funded Account and there are gains in the account, do I forfeit those gains?+
Yes. Any accumulated gains are forfeited unless you purchased the Payout Protector add-on.
What is Payout Protector?+
Payout Protector is an optional add-on that enables you to still receive a payout on gains in your account despite breaching it, provided all other payout conditions are met.
How does Payout Protector work?+
If you breach a funded account with gains, the account is still closed, but with Payout Protector you receive your portion of those gains instead of forfeiting them. Example: on a $100,000 funded account with $8,000 in gains at the moment of the breach — without Payout Protector the account is closed and the $8,000 is forfeited; with Payout Protector the account is still closed due to the breach, but you still receive your portion of the $8,000 gain.
Does Payout Protector prevent my account from breaching?+
No. It does not prevent or alter breach rules. It only protects gains from being forfeited if a breach occurs.
Is Payout Protector required?+
No. It is entirely optional and must be selected at the time of purchase.
Am I subject to any position limits?+
The maximum position you may open is generally determined by available margin. The company may increase margin requirements, limit order size, or limit open positions at any time.
Do we manipulate the pricing or executions you receive in your Funded Account?+
No. The company does not control pricing from the liquidity provider(s) or trade executions.
How do I withdraw the gains in my Funded Account?+
You can request a withdrawal at any time in the trader dashboard, but no more frequently than once every 30 days.
How long does it take to receive my Funded Account?+
After passing, completing KYC, the Trader Agreement, and supporting documentation, funded accounts are typically created and issued within 24–48 business hours.
Once I pass the Assessment am I provided with a demo or live account?+
Once you pass the Assessment, you are provided with a funded account backed by company capital. The capital is notional and may not match the amount on deposit with the liquidity provider.
When can I withdraw the gains in my Funded Account and how does that affect my Maximum Trailing Drawdown?+
Your first withdrawal can be requested at any time, then every 30 days. Once a withdrawal is approved, the maximum trailing drawdown locks in at your starting balance and does not reset.
Who is the counterparty to my trades?+
For risk management purposes, the company may offset or negate market risk and act as direct counterparty to certain trades executed at prices provided by arm’s length third parties.
