Simulated account with profit shareSIM

"Funded" means here what the firm itself states below.

Account type

Simulated account

Per the footer and the help centre all accounts are demo accounts with virtual money; Master accounts are explicitly not live accounts but run in a simulation with quotes from liquidity providers. For Traders reserves the right to use selected traders' strategies and data for trades with its own accounts in real markets. Payouts (performance rewards) are discretionary per the footer and terms, not guaranteed, and require For Traders to accept and license your trading data. One help article on the Instant account misleadingly speaks of a "live trading environment".

Default 8%; the configurator offers 10% for a surcharge. In the Master account the Drawdown Protection also applies: if the floating loss of your open positions reaches −2% of the starting balance, the first time all open trades are closed and your profit split is cut to 50%; the second time all trades are closed and the account is terminated.

Trading days per payout

3 days

Day with at least 0.5% profit on the starting balance (USD 500 on USD 100,000); days need not be consecutive.

The profitable days apply again before every payout: per the help article on profitable days (forex and crypto) the requirements apply in each challenge phase and "between payouts on funded accounts"; the article on the withdrawal system requires all conditions again for every further payout ("e.g., profitable days").

help.fortraders.com
Profit split

80 %

The programme article says "80% fixed"; the plan data additionally offer 70% (discount) and 90% (surcharge) in the configurator in all sizes. 50% after the Drawdown Protection triggers once.

help.fortraders.com
First payout

14 days

After passing: KYC via Veriff, manual review (business days, up to 48 hours, possibly a verification call), then contract (up to 24 hours) and Master account. First payout at the earliest 14 calendar days after receiving the Master account, with at least 3 profitable days and USD 100 profit.

help.fortraders.com
Payout rhythm

every 14 days

Every 14 calendar days: the countdown starts when the Master account is issued or activated (regardless of the first trade) and restarts after every approved payout. 48-hour guarantee: if the payout does not reach your wallet within 48 hours of the request (business days only), you get a 100% split for that payout. It requires approval by the risk team and compliance with all rules; the guarantee does not apply if a verification call or clarification is needed.

help.fortraders.com
Minimum payout

USD 100

help.fortraders.com
Cap per payout

At most USD 15,000 per payout cycle or request. Per the terms also at most USD 30,000 per "trade idea", and total allocation across all Master and Instant accounts is capped at USD 300,000.

help.fortraders.com
Payout fees

Payouts go to your For Traders wallet first (review by the risk team up to 48 hours, possibly with a verification call). From the wallet from USD 100: USD 100–399 by crypto transfer, fee USD 25; from USD 400 via Rise (bank transfer, crypto, local methods), fee USD 50. Wallet funds can also be used to buy new challenges.

help.fortraders.com
Fee refund

with a later payout

Bonus equal to the challenge fee, added automatically to the fourth payout in the Master account. Not for Instant and Pay After Pass accounts; the article does not distinguish by market.

help.fortraders.com
Scaling

No per-account scaling plan published. The Loyalty Club lists for each rank (Starter 1,000 XP, Rising Star 2,000, Pro 10,000, VIP 50,000, Legend 100,000) a "Scaling Increment" of 0%, 0%, 2%, 5% and 10%, plus cashback 1–3%, profit share +1% to +10%, drawdown +1% to +2% and profit target −1% to −2% (from Pro), without explaining what the values apply to. The home page mentions up to USD 300,000 allocation for Gold Tier traders in the "Premium Program" and an initial maximum of USD 100,000; the terms and the help centre give USD 300,000 as the cap for everyone.

fortraders.com
Inactivity

Inactive after 30 days without meaningful trading activity, in the challenge and the Master account. Counted from the moment a position is closed; minimal trades only to reset the timer (e.g. 0.01 lots) do not count as meaningful activity. An inactive account is terminated.

help.fortraders.com

Trading rules

News trading

restricted

Challenge: news trading without restriction. Master account: you may hold positions through news, but may not open new trades from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after a high-impact release (e.g. rate decision, FOMC minutes, CPI, NFP). Profits from trades opened inside this 10-minute window do not count (no violation); trades opened at least 5 minutes before do count.

help.fortraders.com
Holding overnight

allowed

help.fortraders.com
Holding over the weekend

allowed

help.fortraders.com
EAs / bots

restricted

Expert Advisors only as decision support (alerts, position sizing, partial closes under your supervision); EAs or bots that open, manage or close trades on their own are prohibited, as are emulators. Every trade must be held for at least 5 seconds. The FAQ says broadly "EAs are allowed".

help.fortraders.com
Copy trading

restricted

Only copying from your For Traders account to your own external accounts is allowed. Copying from external accounts into a For Traders account is prohibited, as is trading by or for third parties (terms 11.2). The FAQ, in contrast, allows copying between your own For Traders accounts "within the stated limits".

help.fortraders.com
Hedging

restricted

Opposite positions in the same instrument across several For Traders accounts are prohibited. The terms (11.1) also prohibit simultaneous opposite positions used to manipulate demo trading, e.g. a full-margin position in both directions.

help.fortraders.com
Leverage

Forex 1:125 · Indices 1:20 · Commodities 1:40 · Crypto 1:2

Challenge values. Master account per the rules page, the markets page and the current leverage article: forex 1:30, indices 1:10, commodities 1:10; forex 1:40 applied, per a separate article, to accounts bought before 8 Jun 2026. The plan data of the rules page still hold 1:40 or 1:125 for some Master accounts, and the FAQ says "Up to 1:100 on forex". Selected crypto pairs trade at 1:2 on forex accounts.

Paid challenge on a simulated account · the fee is usually lost when a rule is broken · firms are generally not supervised · CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage.
