Frequently asked questions.

Core Funded is a prop trading firm. You trade with our synthetic capital ($5,000 - $500,000), we evaluate your performance and pay you real profits on success - without risking your own money.

No, the price you see is what you pay. No hidden fees or extra charges.

You receive 80% of profits by default. With an upgrade, you can increase to 95% profit share.

We trade exclusively on Match-Trader. We do not offer MT4, MT5, cTrader or Trade Locker.

You can trade Forex, Indices, Commodities and Cryptocurrencies. All major markets are available to you.

Request a payout in Match-Trader whenever you want. It is paid by bank transfer or crypto within 24 hours. If it takes longer, you keep 100% of the profit split.

Yes, fully allowed. You can hold trades overnight and through the weekend. Crypto trading is available 24/7.

Always allowed during the challenge. On the funded account, trades are blocked 5 minutes before and after high-impact news by default — add the News Trading upgrade at checkout to trade news without any restriction.

The main rules are: Maximum daily loss (3-5%), drawdown limits (5-8%), no prohibited trading practices (arbitrage, HFT, gambling), and account inactive max 30 days.

Not with Instant: your account is funded from day one. 1-Step has one phase with a 10% target, 2-Step has two phases with 10% and 5%.

No. None of our accounts has a time limit, in the evaluation or after it.

Your max loss is a fixed level set from your starting balance. On a $100K 2-Step account with 8%, that level is $92,000, no matter how much profit you make.

At payout, no single day may make up more than 15% (Instant) or 30% (1-Step and 2-Step) of your total profit. Each day counts with the highest net profit it reached.

Request a payout in Match-Trader whenever you want. The identity check and the trader agreement happen once, in your dashboard, on your first payout.

Prop trading, short for proprietary trading, means trading a firm's capital instead of your own. At Core Funded you pay a one-time fee, trade a simulated account of up to $500,000 under clear rules and keep up to 95% of the profit as a payout.

No. You never deposit money into the account, so a losing trade can't cost you more than the fee you paid. If you breach a loss limit, that account ends, and you can start again with a new one.

Instant funds you from day one, with loss limits of 3% a day and 5% in total. 1-Step has one 10% target, with 3% a day and 6% in total. 2-Step splits the target into 10% and 5% and gives you more room: 5% a day and 8% in total, or no daily limit and 12% in total with its FLEX variant. Every type comes in nine sizes; prices start at 45€.

Make 12% profit within a 3-month period and your funded account grows by 25% of its starting balance, for example from $100,000 to $125,000. Then the same rule applies again, up to $10,000,000 in total capital.

Funded accounts with a starting balance from $10,000 to $500,000.

Yes. The scaling plan goes up to $10,000,000 in total capital.

Every order adds a percentage of the amount to your cashback balance, from 1% as a Beginner up to 20% in the Inner Circle. You turn the balance into discount codes for future accounts.

Yes. Every tier keeps the perks of the tiers below it.

By invitation only. The Inner Circle isn't unlocked with XP.
