Take Funded is a proprietary trading evaluation firm. We give traders access to simulated accounts and measure their performance against a defined set of rules. Traders who meet the objectives receive a funded account and earn a share of the simulated profits they generate.
No. Every account is simulated at every stage, including funded accounts. You are not trading real capital and you never own the "funds" displayed on your account. Payouts are a reward for performance, not a withdrawal of your own money.
Only the evaluation fee. You cannot lose more than what you paid, and you are never liable for losses made on a simulated account.
No. There is no employment relationship between you and Take Funded at any stage.
Yes. We offer a free 14-day demo account on Match-Trader so you can test the platform and the conditions. The demo does not progress through phases and does not lead to a payout.
No more than 2% of your account balance on any one open position.
Risk is measured as the distance between your entry price and your stop-loss, multiplied by your volume.
On a $100,000 account, 2% is $2,000. If your stop-loss is 100 pips away on EURUSD, one standard lot puts $1,000 at risk — that is 1%. Two lots would be $2,000, which is exactly at the limit.
No more than 3% across all open positions at once.
Three positions at 1% each is fine. A fourth position, however small, takes you over the limit.
Per trader, across every account you hold. If you have four accounts, the 2% and 3% limits apply to the combined risk on all of them, not to each account separately.
Yes. Every position must have a stop-loss attached within 3 minutes of opening it. A position held longer than that without a stop-loss is a rule violation on its own.
A maximum of 5 at any one time, regardless of how small the risk on them is.
The first time, the trade is voided — removed from your results, and your profit is recalculated without it. Your account continues.
A repeat violation closes the account.
Yes. A trade opened less than 60 seconds after the previous one is voided. The same applies to a trade closed less than 60 seconds after it was opened.
This is our high-frequency trading rule. It is not aimed at fast decisions — it is aimed at strategies that place dozens of trades a minute.
No. Opening and closing positions is prohibited from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after a high-impact news release affecting the instrument you are trading.
Medium and low-impact events are not restricted.
On evaluation accounts: yes.
On funded accounts: no. All positions are closed automatically before the market closes on Friday. Plan
your trades accordingly — a position closed at Friday's close may be subject to slippage.
No. Holding opposite positions on the same instrument is prohibited, whether on one account or across several of your accounts.
Hedging across accounts is treated as a serious violation and results in the closure of all accounts you hold.
Yes. Copying the same trade in the same direction across your own accounts is allowed. Bear in mind that risk is then counted in aggregate across those accounts, so the 3% total limit applies to the combined exposure.
Yes, provided you supply the source code of the advisor as proof of ownership. Advisors used without our approval are not permitted.
We may cancel trades executed on erroneous quotes or feed spikes. If a platform or broker fault costs you the account, we correct the balance back to its state at the moment the position was opened and give you a free restart of your challenge.
14 days after your first trade on the funded account — not from the day the account was created. If you don't trade, the countdown doesn't start.
After that, payouts are available every 14 days.
Yes. The weekly payout add-on reduces the interval to 7 days, for +10% of the account price.
There is a cap on every payout, and it applies to the amount you receive, after the profit split:

In money, on each account size:

Nothing is lost. Profit above the cap stays on your account and you can withdraw it in your next payout cycle, subject to the same limit.
The cap controls how fast profit leaves the account, not how much you are entitled to
80/20 in your favour by default.
You can upgrade to 90/10 for +10% of the account price. You can also earn the upgrade: consistent traders are reviewed for a higher split.
Between 48 and 96 hours. You'll see the status of your request in your dashboard at every stage, and a rejection always comes with a reason
By crypto or through Rise.
We don't charge a withdrawal fee. The payment provider's own fee is deducted from the amount, and it varies by method.
Yes. The fee you paid for the challenge is refunded with your third payout.
Two possible reasons:
Verification. If your KYC is incomplete or the name on your payment method doesn't match your identity documents, the payout is frozen until it is resolved. Your profit is not voided. If it stays unresolved for 90 days, the account is closed without payout.
Investigation. If we're reviewing a suspected rule breach, the payout may be held for up to 30 days. You will be notified in writing.
