The algos they ban are welcome here.

Everywhere else, automation gets you flagged. Here your algo runs at full speed from Stage 1 to our capital, and you can still trade by hand when you want to.

Pass two stages. Then trade our capital.

  1. Stage 1 of 2

    Evaluation

    Simulated. Hit the profit target inside the loss limits, over at least 3 trading days.

  2. Stage 2 of 2

    Verification

    Pass again over at least 10 new trading days, so we know it wasn’t luck. Still simulated.

  3. Funded

    Trade our capital

    Real orders on the exchange. You keep 80% of the profits.

Questions

Is it real money?

Yes, once your algo passes both stages. The stages themselves are simulated. After that it trades our own capital on the real exchange, and you keep 80% of the profits.

Are bots and HFT really allowed?

Yes. That’s the point. Your algo runs automated at every stage, inside the exchange’s data centre, at the lowest latency of any funded-trader program. Manipulative trading like spoofing isn’t allowed, and we watch every order.

Do I need my own servers?

No. Your algo runs on our machines, right next to the exchange. That’s what the monthly fee pays for.

Can I trade by hand?

Yes. Orders you place by hand go through our hardware at the exchange too, which may make them slightly faster, but they still cross the network from your computer to our servers first.
