For Traders Instant (Forex)

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".

3 %

from the higher of balance and equity at day start

Reset: 00:00 CE(S)T

a breach ends the account

The limit is a fixed percentage of the starting balance. At 00:00 CE(S)T the system takes the higher of balance and equity and subtracts this amount; the result is the floor for the day. Open and closed positions count; the breach occurs as soon as equity falls below it. The terms (1.1.9) instead describe a midnight reset based on the balance with server time GMT+3 (summer) / GMT+2 (winter); the help centre gives the server time as UTC+2 / UTC+1.

5 % · trailing (closed balance)

The floor follows the highest closed balance in real time.

Stops: The floor sits the percentage below the highest balance ever recorded and never rises above the starting balance. With the first payout request it is fixed at the starting balance (For Traders' example: starting balance USD 10,000, balance USD 11,000, payout USD 950 → floor USD 10,000, only USD 50 of room left).

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.

≤ 15 % · best day ÷ total profit

payout waits until met

Your best day must stay below 15% of total accumulated profit; if it reaches or exceeds 15%, you keep trading until the share falls below it. For Traders' formula: best day ÷ 0.15 = required total profit. Example: best day USD 500 → at least USD 3,333.33 total profit without earning more than USD 500 on any day; if you make USD 600 in a day, the required total rises to USD 4,000. Only then is a payout possible. For Traders' reasoning: the rule is meant to ensure consistent performance ("to maintain consistent performance").

7 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").

70 %, up to 90 %

1st payout 70%, 2nd 75%, 3rd 80%, 4th 85%, from the 5th 90%. 50% after the Drawdown Protection triggers once.

14 days

No challenge step: you trade the Master account from purchase. KYC and contract before the first payout; for Instant accounts the 48-hour guarantee only starts when the contract is signed. First payout at the earliest 14 calendar days after activation, with 7 profitable days, the consistency rule met and profit above the buffer of 3% of the starting balance (6K USD 180, 15K USD 450, 25K USD 750, 50K USD 1,500, 100K USD 3,000; only profit above it can be withdrawn).

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.

USD 100

Minimum withdrawable profit per the rules page; the 3% buffer must also remain.

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.

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.

no refund

The fee bonus with the fourth payout explicitly does not apply to Instant and Pay After Pass accounts.

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.

Inactive after 7 consecutive days without meaningful trading activity. 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.

restricted

You may hold positions through news but may not open new trades from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after a high-impact release; profits from trades opened in that window do not count.

allowed

allowed

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".

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".

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.
