Are funded accounts live?

At our firm, the initial phase of trading is conducted in a simulated (SIM) environment, despite this, payouts are processed as they would be in a live account. This approach is strategically adopted for two primary reasons:

1. Risk Management: Many traders, especially new ones, are prone to rapidly depleting a funded account. By starting in a SIM environment, we mitigate the financial risk both to our company and to you as our valued customer.

2. Evaluation of Consistency: During the SIM phase, we closely monitor trading performance. Upon observing consistent trading success, we transition to replicating these trades in a proprietary (prop) trading account through an API. This phase serves as an intermediate step, ensuring that the transition to live trading is based on proven and sustainable trading strategies.

Upon demonstrating long-term consistency in the prop account, traders are then transitioned into a live prop account. This progression underscores our commitment to prudent risk management while fostering a growth-oriented environment for our traders.

So, there are no other requirements (credit checks / background checks etc..) to get funded except passing the test?

Correct. No credit checks, background checks or asset requirements, etc...to get an Evaluation Account or a Funded Account. Once it is time to move into a Live Funded Prop account there will be standard paperwork and background check procedures at that point, that same type of paperwork to open a usual broker account directly. 

Billing and Account Information

1. We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or unauthorized distributors.
2. You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made at our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
3. For account payouts, you agree to be paid out via bank transfer or cryptocurrency. We reserve the right to refuse payments via other payment methods in which the Company does not support. We hold a minimum payout value of 100 USD. For any off schedule payouts, on any date otherwise stated when signing the trader agreement, we will also send via bank transfer or cryptocurrency. We may send cryptocurrency payouts via USDT, Ethereum or Bitcoin, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Client and Company.
4. If an account has hit Maximum Drawdown, Daily Drawdown, Profit Target, Inactivity Threshold or violated any other rules.

Account Management, Trading Behaviour and Responsible Trading

It is imperative that you diligently ensure adherence to all guidelines and rules. Presently, our system does not automatically detect violations. Your account will only undergo a review for any potential infractions upon your request for a payout, approval of your challenge pass, or if you solicit a manual examination by our team. We strongly encourage you to maintain a proactive stance in monitoring compliance to avoid any inadvertent breaches.

It is your responsibility to be sure you are not violating any rules.

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sale of our products or Services, including termination of active accounts, to any person who misuses our systems.

1. You can not use Challenge Passing services. This is a serious breach and we do take precautions to detect this, if you are executing trades on our Challenge accounts, Conventional or Instant Funding model the same time, direction and/or instruments as other traders, if you are trading from an IP not where your billing address is located and or other methods we may detect. Please note strategies where you open trades for less than 6 seconds, also known as tick scalping, are strictly prohibited.

Trader understands Company is seeking "to fund and payout" traders who follow a consistent trading plan in size, stops, and targets. This means not trading max or larger than usual contracts on one trade, seeking “lucky windfalls” while trading small the rest of the time, or flipping contracts just to show a "trading day", not constantly changing sizes, not dollar cost averaging when market is going against them, not doing high-frequency trading, and being consistent in the trading plan, including your entries, stops, and take profits. Trader funding is designed to be a long-term relationship of consistency and steady growth for both parties. Company is seeking to fund traders, not gamblers

Traders that go all in looking for windfall trades or to rack up funds quickly and have a history of constantly blowing Company accounts and funds may be restricted in the future of having more accounts or limited to a number of accounts until steady consistency is shown. Traders going for constant windfalls and "blowing" accounts as opposed to following disciplined and steady trading systems do not create a "relationship of consistency and steady growth for both parties" as stated above.

Company only seeks traders that are using an actual consistent trading system or strategy. Not a "withdrawal strategy", windfall strategy, group strategy or any other strategy that attempts to put Company funds at risk outside of a consistent day to day proven strategy. Having large trading day / days, then only "flipping" contracts in an attempt to meet the minimum required days to request a withdrawal is prohibited and will result in a denial of payout request until consistency is shown. Company is seeking consistent, day to day trading systems, not erratic trading, jumping from system to system, or working the system to reach a payout request date and just flipping contracts or placing a trade " just to show a trade day".

Going for a big windfalls, lucky trades, straddles, strangles, risking entire account, flipping contracts, blowing through multiple account in short time seeking big lucky windfall, using a withdrawal strategy, or racking up number of days by flipping, or any other trading that does not specifically meet the guidelines above regarding a consistent trading plan are in direct violation of the terms and are disqualified trades / trading days which may be removed from your Balance.

Trader may never be long in one account and short in another account at the same time. This applies to your own personal accounts or in conjunction with other traders. Any group or partner schemes will result in complete closure and forfeiture of both parties accounts and banning from the Company website, tools and programs.

Trader agrees to follow the Company Code of Conduct as outlined and to treat all staff, contractors, other traders, and third parties with respect and professionalism. As well as to maintain and conduct themselves and the Company in a professional and positive manner at all times including groups, Social media, Trade Rooms and any other environment. If Trader cancels accidentally or intentionally, Trader understands there is no way to reactivate the account for any reason and will have to start a new evaluation account.

IFT is a Proprietary Trading firm for traders. Gambling is hard to define when trading due to the variety of strategies out there. However, as a proprietary trading firm, our responsibility is capital/risk management. It is our responsibility to protect the firm’s capital and help traders who have passed the challenges and/or traded our Instant Funding accounts correctly. We do not allow gambling or similar high-risk trading behavior.  

If IFT suspects a trader is attempting to use our accounts for gambling purposes, we may be forced to take action to protect the firm, such as reducing the leverage, reducing the profit splits, or terminating the trader’s account(s). These actions will only be taken after careful consideration by our risk management team and if the trader’s behavior falls within certain prohibited categories, such as, but not limited to, the below examples: Large quantities of accounts simultaneously. Traders are welcome to take challenges and instant accounts at the same time. Traders are not limited by this. However, if a trader is purchasing many challenges for example, and rolling into the next challenge again and again. Taking large positions, and sacrificing a large number of accounts in a short period of time is not allowed. 

This is different from taking challenges and passing/failing. This example is based on gambling mentality within the account and going through many accounts in a short time period.  

All-In trading. Opening multiple large positions in a row, known as “stacking”, can be considered a risky strategy. Layering positions into one instrument increasing the risk with each position added is not allowed due to the high-risk nature of this trading style. Overusing leverage in trading is similar to gambling and can result in a rapid loss in an account’s balance/equity. 

This approach goes against our risk management protocols and poses a threat to the integrity of our trading system. Such strategies are unsustainable in the long term and typically result in losses. They involve taking identical levels of risk on opposing sides of a trade using different accounts, which is not acceptable behavior on our platform. 

Opening single positions with large lots in an attempt to ‘Jump’ through the Profit Target, or ‘Recover’ an account in drawdown is also not allowed. We must be strict when it comes to our anti-gambling policy, because of this, from time to time, we may ask traders to retake a challenge without the gambling style.

The challenge is you must make 10% profits without violating any of the below rules and then you will either move to the next step or move up to a funded account depending what challenge you signed up for.

Funded accounts the profit target is 10% to qualify for payout

With the funded account, up to 90% of the profit is yours. 80% without upgrade.

 THE 9 RULES:

1. There is a max drawdown from your beginning balance. So your equity balance cannot go below the limit specified for your account at any time. 

•  2 Step Accounts: 10%
• 1 Step Accounts: 6%
• Instant Accounts: 6%
  
  Why This Rule Is Important:
  
  The 10% maximum drawdown rule from your beginning balance is a critical measure to limit potential losses and encourage prudent risk management. This rule ensures traders maintain a disciplined approach to trading, safeguarding both the trader's and the firm's capital from significant downturns.

1. There is a daily drawdown limit. Starting each trading day, your equity balance cannot drop more than the limit specified for your account.  

•  2 Step Accounts: 5%
• 1 Step Accounts: 5%
• Instant Accounts: 3%

Why This Rule Is Important:

The daily drawdown limit is crucial for managing risk and preserving capital by preventing excessive losses within a single trading day. This rule fosters a disciplined trading approach, encouraging traders to prioritize consistent performance and risk mitigation over high-risk, aggressive strategies.

1. The profit target of your challenge and funded account are 10% profit.
   
   Why This Rule Is Important:
   Setting a profit target of 10% for both the challenge and funded accounts is important as it establishes a clear and achievable goal, encouraging traders to focus on sustainable and consistent trading strategies. This target also helps in maintaining a balance between aggressive trading for high returns and the prudent risk management necessary to protect the capital.
   

2. When you receive the fully funded account, you can request your first withdraw after 20 trading days. After that you can request payments every week.
   
   Why This Rule Is Important:
   The rule allowing withdrawals of profits from the fully funded account after 20 trading days is important as it encourages a focus on longer-term, stable trading strategies, rather than short-term, high-risk moves. This period also provides sufficient time for assessing a trader's consistency and risk management skills, ensuring profitability is sustainable and not the result of mere speculative trades.
   

3. If you have more than one account, you cannot trade separate accounts in opposite positions 
   
   Why This Rule Is Important:

   The rule against holding opposite positions in multiple accounts is crucial for maintaining the integrity of trading strategies and preventing the manipulation of drawdown limits. This ensures that each account reflects genuine market strategies and risk management decisions, rather than artificial methods to hedge or offset risks across different accounts. (This is blatantly cheating and you are just sacrificing one account for the other. You would never trade like this with your own money) 

4. Traders are limited to a maximum of 50 trades per trading day.
   
   Why This Rule Is Important:
   

   This rule is in place to ensure effective risk management, maintain trading discipline, and safeguard the overall stability of the firm. We want quality trades, not taking hundreds of trades a day to hopefully be profitable.

5. 30% Consistency rule. Any days profits cannot be more than 30% of your total profits.
   
   Why This Rule Is Important:
   

   This is in place to discourage that type of erratic, windfall, high risk, all in style trading and encourage long term consistency. If the profit balance is more than 30% from a single trading day, no big deal, very simple, just continue trading consistently with your day to day trading plan until that % is no longer the case and request on the next available payout date. Trader funding is designed to be a long-term relationship of consistency and steady growth for both parties. Company is seeking to fund traders, not gamblers.
