The Company provides Traders with access to virtual capital for the purposes of simulated trading. The maximum initial capital allocation available to any Trader prior to scaling is $450,000 in virtual funds. Subject to performance and compliance with all trading rules and program requirements, Traders may be eligible for account scaling.
Through the Company’s Account Scaling Plan, the virtual capital allocation may be increased incrementally based on profitability and consistency. The total capital allocation available to a Trader under the scaling plan may reach up to USD$2,500,000, and in certain cases, may exceed this amount through the use of approved add-ons.
Scaling decisions are made at the sole discretion of the Company and may take into account factors such as risk management, drawdown control, trading behavior, and adherence to all platform terms and conditions. The Trader acknowledges that all funds provided remain virtual and are intended solely for performance evaluation within a simulated environment.
4. Prohibited Trading Strategies
The following trading strategies will result in termination:
- Copy Trading: Allowed only from another PropFunders account, broker account, or prop firm account owned by the same individual. Copy trading from accounts not owned by the same individual is strictly prohibited.
- Account Management Services: Not allowed. Trading must be based solely on the Trader’s ability.
- Specific Trading Strategies: High Frequency Trading (HFT), arbitrage trading, exploiting errors or latency in the pricing and/or platform(s), one sided betting, ‘pass your challenge’ type services, using third party signals, group trading, tick trading/tick scalping, hedging on two different PropFunders accounts in attempt to ensure one is profitable and similar strategies used to game the system.
- EA Trading: Allowed under the following conditions:
- Does not copy trades of other person’s signals
- Does not perform tick scalping
- Does not engage in latency arbitrage trading
- Does not engage in reverse arbitrage trading
- Does not engage in hedge arbitrage trading
- Does not use emulators
In addition to the above, the use of Expert Advisors (EAs) is strictly prohibited in circumstances where the Trader does not have exclusive ownership of the EA’s source code or where the EA is commercially available to the public, including but not limited to those that can be purchased online or acquired through similar distribution channels. The Company prohibits the use of any EA that may result in identical or substantially similar trading patterns across multiple traders’ accounts, such as those arising from shared strategies or commonly available third-party EAs. This policy is intended to ensure that all trading activity remains individual and skill-based, and to prevent coordinated or replicated trading behavior that undermines the integrity of the simulated environment.
- IP Address Consistency: The region of IP address(es) used to log into the Master account must remain consistent. Proof such as an airline ticket, passport stamp, or live video of the location may be requested. Multiple accounts on a similar IP address are strictly prohibited to rule out group trading and ensure fairness.
- Soft Breach Policy: In addition to the circumstances outlined above, the Company reserves the right to terminate a Trader’s account upon the accumulation of three (3) or more soft breaches, even if each breach individually does not constitute grounds for immediate termination. A soft breach refers to a minor violation of trading rules that, while not immediately disqualifying, indicates a pattern of non-compliance. Examples of soft breaches may include, but are not limited to, failing to close trades prior to news events or weekend holding violations where prohibited. The classification of breaches and their severity shall be determined solely at the discretion of the Company.
- Account Security: It is prohibited to change the demo/simulated trading account password.
- Third-Party Trading: Trading on someone else’s behalf is not permitted.
- Age Requirement: All traders/customers must be at least 18 years old.
5. Compliance with Laws and AML Practices
The Company may restrict certain jurisdictions to comply with local laws and anti-money laundering (AML) practices. The Trader agrees to provide all necessary documentation to satisfy the Company’s KYC and AML requirements.
6. Limitation of Liability
- The Company shall not be liable for any losses incurred by the Trader. The Trader acknowledges that trading in financial markets involves significant risk and that they are responsible for any losses incurred while trading.
- At all times, the funds provided by the Company are virtual, except for trader payouts which are real. The Trader understands and agrees that any profits earned in the simulation accounts are virtual until actual payouts are made by the Company.
- The Trader acknowledges and agrees that all trading activities occur in a simulated environment subject to technical limitations. The Company shall not be held liable for any issues arising from platform performance, including but not limited to slippage, latency, execution delays, price discrepancies, system outages, internet disconnections, or any other technical malfunction or error. The Trader accepts that such issues may affect trading results and that the simulated environment may not perfectly replicate live market conditions. The Company disclaims all responsibility for losses, missed opportunities, or discrepancies resulting from such circumstances.
7. Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep all terms of this Agreement confidential and not to disclose any information regarding trading strategies, account details, or any other proprietary information to third parties without prior written consent.
8. Amendments
This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements, or understandings of any kind. Any amendments or modifications to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties.

The Company reserves the right to terminate the Trader’s account under the following circumstances:
- Failure to fulfill KYC requirements.
- Use of prohibited trading strategies, outlined in clause 4 (Prohibited Trading Strategies).
- If the Company detects that your trading constitutes Prohibited Trading, your participation in the program will be terminated and may include forfeiture of any fees paid to the Company. Additionally, and before any Trader shall receive a funded account, the trading activity of the Trader under these Terms and Conditions shall be reviewed by both the Company and the Broker to determine whether such trading activity constitutes Prohibited Trading. In the case of Prohibited Trading, the Trader shall not receive a funded account.
Additionally, the Company reserves the right to disallow or block any Trader from participating in the program for any reason, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.
12. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, which will otherwise remain in full force and effect.
13. Notices
Any notices or other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered personally or sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, or by email to the addresses specified by the parties.
14. Responsibility to Stay Updated

15. Payments and Fees
All payments are final and for virtual evaluation purposes only. In order for a Trader to receive any Virtual Performance Fee, sufficient profits must be generated within the simulated trading environment. Alternatively, the Company may, at its sole discretion, fund such Virtual Performance Fee from its own resources. For the avoidance of doubt, you will never be provided with access to the live market through your use of the Services.
You will have the opportunity to make withdrawals bi-weekly. Please submit a performance fee request via the dashboard platform.
To receive any Virtual Performance Fee under this clause, you must request payment within the dashboard of your PropFunders Account. An exchange rate fee, as set by the provider from time to time, applies when receiving Virtual Performance Fees in your domestic currencies.
Requests will be processed and paid within 3 business days.
All virtual trades must be closed within your PropFunders Account at the time of making a withdrawal request, virtual trading can resume once the withdrawal amount has been sent from our company.
