FAQ / RULES

You can have unlimited funded accounts. The FundedRacer model is unlimited — we'll keep funding you with the best strategy, so we'll make sure you get enough chances.

We do not impose any limits on instruments on positions taken on your trades; you can trade all the instruments we send and even find some in the MT5 list (Forex, Indices, Metals, Commodities).

EAs and Indicators are allowed. They are allowed in the challenge stages and in the funded account.

You can also use third-party trading tools as well as well as an EA — all you have to do is to verify the EA before using it on your real account.

Using any of the following strategies will result in account termination:

• High-Frequency Trading (Sexually or Latency)
• Reverse Arbitrage trading
• Latency Arbitrage Trading
• Tick Scalping
• Curve-fitting Strategies
• Copying Trades from other traders

If the use of any of these strategies is found in your account, it will be considered a violation of this rules, and FundedRacer will terminate your trading without any warning.

Copy trading from your account in other accounts, and a simple trade from someone else will be considered a violation of the rules.

Yes, hedging is allowed.

However, hedging using multiple accounts is not allowed as it does not reflect a proper trading strategy. No inter-account hedging — you are not allowed to place hedged entries between them.

In the challenge stages, traders are free to trade without using stop-loss orders if they choose; there is no restriction on their use.

However, at the funded stages, it's mandatory to place a stop-loss order for all trades. This requirement aims to manage risk and protect the capital generated throughout the trading journey. If a running entry is missed before closing, it may be deemed fail to set a Stop Loss (SL) within the initial 15 second window. The funded account will be disabled and removed from the challenge.

There are no lot size restrictions on 0.01 of lot. You are free to trade using whatever lot size you prefer.

You can have an overall maximum loss limit of 10% of your initial account balance. This means your account balance or equity should always be over 90% of the initial balance to avoid rule violations.

For example, for a $100k account, your maximum loss limit is $10k. As long as your balance/equity (whichever is lower) is over $90k, you will not violate the overall drawdown.

We recommend not to. If you are trading from a different location or using a VPS, you need to show proof to our customer support.

In the challenge stage, you are free to trade during news or holding news trading time for higher slippage and volatility.

However, in the funded stage, trading near a news holding time is not allowed. All high-impact news trading is strictly prohibited. Funded traders must close all trades at least 5 minutes before news is released. Traders can only open new trades 5 minutes after the news is released. These rules apply to funded accounts. Check our calendar for all scheduled high-impact news events.

Not all news are not allowed:

KYC (Know Your Customer) is the necessary process of identifying and verifying that clients identity when opening an account and periodically over time. In order to receive your fully funded account, it is mandatory to complete the KYC process.

The Consistency Rule requires traders to maintain a consistently evolving pattern of trading throughout the funded trading period.

Note: This rule only applies to funded plans once a trader has been approved and is actively trading.

The Single Trade Loss rule limits only your individual trade to a maximum loss of 2% of your current day's balance. This percentage rule will help promote disciplined trading.

If a trade violates this rule, individual trades need to remain plans, so make sure to check your plans directly for each trade as this rule is enforced.

Before your first payout, our risk team will verify:

• Completed KYC verification
• Minimum 10 trading days on funded account
• No rule violations during the trading period
• Valid payment method on file
• Profit target met and maintained for 24 hours

Trading commissions are charged per lot traded and are reflected in your account balance. Commission rates vary by instrument — Forex pairs typically see $3–$7 per lot round-trip. Commissions count toward your overall drawdown calculation.

You will receive institutional spread pricing from ECN/STP execution. Our accounts offer raw spreads from 0.0 pips on major pairs, with instant market execution. Slippage may occur during high-impact news events.

Payouts are processed within 1–3 business days after a payout request is approved. Crypto withdrawals are typically faster (same day). Bank wire transfers may take 3–5 business days depending on your bank.

Yes! Our Affiliate Program pays up to 20% commission per referral. Standard affiliates earn 15% per subscription. Top affiliates (20+ referrals) are upgraded to 20%. Visit our Affiliate Page to get started.

You can request a payout after completing a minimum of 10 trading days on your funded account. The payout date cycles on the 15th of each month. You must meet all trading rules and have a valid profit to withdraw.

FundedRacer runs periodic promotions including discount codes, bonus challenge credits, and referral bonuses. These are announced via our newsletter and social channels. Bonus funds are non-withdrawable but profits generated from them are eligible for payouts.

For challenge accounts, weekend holding is allowed — you are not required to close positions before the weekend. For funded accounts, it is strongly recommended to close high-risk positions before Friday's market close to avoid gap risk over the weekend.

After signing up and purchasing a challenge, you'll receive login credentials for the FundedRacer dashboard. From there you can monitor live P&L, track drawdown, view trading statistics, request payouts, and access your referral link.

Once you pass all challenge stages, our team will review your performance and set up your funded account within 24–48 hours. You'll receive an email with your MT5 credentials and your live account balance ready to trade.
