Common questions
A simulated trading experience lets traders test and showcase their skills in a risk-free environment. It’s designed to mirror real-market conditions without financial risk — giving you the chance to demonstrate performance and qualify for funding opportunities.
The Day Trader Challenge is a performance-based trading program that lets you test your skills in a fast, condensed format and earn an instant payout upon success.
Here’s how it works:
1. Customize Your Challenge
Select your stake ($5–$500), payout multiplier (up to 10×), and trading window (1–8 hours). Every challenge starts with a $10,000 simulated balance.
2. Trade in a Simulated Environment
Hit your profit target within your chosen time limit while staying inside drawdown and risk rules.
3. Earn Instant Payouts
Win your challenge, and your stake is multiplied! Withdraw your earnings instantly.
Important Notes:
The timer starts the moment you purchase, whether you’re logged in or not.
To maximize your time, download and log into MT4, MT5, TradingView or TradeLocker before buying.
One Phase & Two Phase
