You will be trading in simulated live market conditions. Slippage occurs when your order is not filled at the precise price you placed due to the absence of a matching order. As a result, your trade will be executed at the next available price which may or may not be advantageous to your position.

When you trade large lot sizes, the chance of slippage increases. Additionally, uncontrollable volatile market movements will also increase the chance of slippage.

Learn & Earn Accounts
You can use EAs as long as they do not breach our Restrictive Trading Practices.

Skill Evaluation Challenge Accounts & Funded Trader Accounts
EAs are allowed. You may use EAs that you have set up to suit your own strategy.

Hedging is allowed.
Martingale is allowed.
Stop Loss is not required.
Trade Copiers are allowed.
HFT EAs are not allowed.

Yes, you can trade overnight and hold trades over the weekend for all account types.

But we advise our traders to take precautions in doing so as there may be unexpected high-impact news overnight or over the weekend.

Yes you can use a trade copier to copy trades from your TradeWithCapital account to other accounts. However, you are not allowed to have identical trades as other TradeWithCapital traders. Traders with identical trades as each other will have their accounts closed immediately.

Learn & Earn Accounts and Funded Trader Accounts
You are not allowed to execute trades 2 minutes before and after release of a red folder event that is related to the pair you are trading. This includes the opening or closing of market orders and any take-profit or stop-loss orders. Any profits earned during this time will be subject to removal, without any account violation.

Skill Evaluation Challenge Accounts
Yes you can trade news.

At TradeWithCapital, we have strict guidelines in place to ensure fair and responsible
trading practices. Gambling through the challenge phase is strictly prohibited. We
define gambling as follows:

All-In Trades: Betting in a single direction without proper risk management, resulting
in a single trade that either passes or fails the challenge.

Note: A ‘trade’ refers to a position held by the trader on a specific pair. It may consist
of one or multiple entries with similar timings and lot sizes. However, trades with
vastly smaller lot sizes will not be considered as separate trades.

If a trader is found to be engaging in gambling practices, they will not be advanced
to the funded stage and will be offered the opportunity to retry the challenge.

In the event that a trader is found to be gambling on the funded stage, we remain
committed to fairness and understanding. While the profits accrued may be
deducted, the trader will be provided with another opportunity to succeed through a
retry of the challenge.

We understand that mistakes can happen, and our aim is to guide traders towards
success. However, repeated violations of this policy will result in the account being
considered breached, and further action may be taken in accordance with our terms
and conditions.

The following trading strategies will result in denial of payouts and closure of accounts.

Grid Trading:
Placing inverse buy and sell orders of the same instrument for the exact or similar risk can lead to market manipulation, over-leveraging, market instability, and potential risk-free profit.

Account Sharing or Account Sale:
Sharing or re-selling funded accounts.

Martingale Trading:
Increasing the investment size after each loss with the expectation that a winning trade will recoup all previous losses is considered gambling and extremely risky.

High-Frequency Trading (HFT):
Using advanced computer algorithms and high-speed telecommunications networks to execute large numbers of trades in fractions of a second can lead to market manipulation, unfair advantages, and market instability.

Trading in Sanctioned Countries:
Traders are restricted from logging in and raising orders in OFAC- sanctioned countries.

Collusion Between Users:
Trading in the same direction on the same asset across multiple accounts is considered market manipulation and strictly prohibited.

Hedging or Group Hedging Across Multiple Accounts:
Trading in opposite directions on the same asset across multiple accounts in an attempt to profit from the price movements of an asset without having to take on significant market risk.

Use of a Delayed Data Feed:
Using a data feed that has a delay or lags in the delivery of market data. This is considered unethical and not in compliance with real market trading.

Trading on Delayed Charts:
Using charts or other graphical representations of market data that have a delay or lag in their updates. This is considered unethical and goes against the real market trading.

Use of Guarantee of Compliance with Limit Orders:
Using a guarantee of compliance with limit orders, including take-profit and stop-loss, and manipulating the market.

Beginner Traders: Learn & Earn Accounts

Our Learn & Earn Account is an Instant Funding account built for Beginner Traders and traders who are not consistently profitable yet. We created this account type specifically for Beginner Traders to forward test their strategies with more leverage and more returns.

The recommended step for a trader who is learning how to trade is to deposit US$300 – US$500 into a personal account to forward test their trading strategies. Why not use the same amount of capital to invest in a Learn & Earn Account? Get paid while you learn how to trade, learn proper risk management, and get comfortable in a proprietary trading environment!

If you do not place a trade every 30 days your account will be considered inactive and we will close your account.

There is no Profit Target for our Learn & Earn Accounts. Once you make a purchase, you are immediately a Funded Trader.

Maximum Daily Drawdown: 5%

The Maximum Daily Drawdown is based on your Equity and you are not allowed to lose more than 5% in Equity between 00:00 to 23:50 (UTC+0) on any single day.

Example 1: You started trading on your $100,000 account at 00:00 (UTC+0) on day 1 and your Maximum Daily Drawdown is $5,000. If you took a trade and closed it with a loss of $2,000, you are only allowed to lose $3,000 more for the day. If you took another trade and incurred a drawdown of $3,000, you would have exceeded the Maximum Daily Drawdown of 5% and your account will be closed immediately due to this breach.

Example 2: You started trading on your $100,000 account at 00:00 (UTC+0) on day 1 and your Maximum Daily Drawdown is $5,000. If you entered a trade and closed it with a profit of $2,000, your Maximum Daily Drawdown becomes $7,000. If you then took another trade that incurred a floating loss of $7,500 but the trade eventually ended up positive, it would still count as a violation of the Maximum Daily Drawdown rule because, at one point during the trade, your Equity was down by $7,500. As a result, your account will be closed immediately due to this breach.

Example 3: You started trading on your $100,000 account at 00:00 (UTC+0) on day 1 and your Maximum Daily Drawdown is $5,000. If you took a trade and closed it with a profit of $2,000, your Maximum Daily Drawdown becomes $7,000. If you then took another trade and incurred a floating loss of $6,000, the Maximum Daily Drawdown becomes $1,000, which is still within the allowed limit. However, if you held this position with an open loss of $6,000 after 00:00 (UTC+0) on day 2, the Maximum Daily Drawdown will be breached. The profit from the previous day will not be carried forward to the new day after 00:00 (UTC+0), and the $6,000 loss in open positions exceeds the Maximum Daily Drawdown of $5,000 on day 2. As a result, your account will be closed immediately due to this breach.

Maximum Overall Drawdown: 8%  (Additional 2% Drawdown is available at checkout)

The Maximum Overall Drawdown is based on your Initial Balance and you are not allowed to lose more than 8% (or 10% if you purchased the additional drawdown) from your Initial Balance on any single day.

Example: You purchased a $100,000 account so your Maximum Overall Drawdown is $8,000. At any point in time, your Equity should not be below $92,000. Once that happens, your account will be closed immediately due to this breach.

A trading day is a day where an order is executed.

Traders are eligible for payouts every 14 days.

No trading day can account for 25% or more of the requested payout. Traders will
have to continue trading and making profits on other trading days.

Consistency Score = [1 – ((Most Profitable Trading Day / Requested Payout) * 100%)]

Your Consistency Score must be more than 75% for your payout to be approved. Your
Consistency Score resets after each payout.

Having a low Consistency Score will NOT result in the closure of the account.

Example:
You’re trading a $25,000 Learn & Earn account and here are your profits for the week:
  – Monday = +$500
  – Tuesday = $0
  – Wednesday = +$800
  – Thursday = +$200
  – Friday = -$600

Your net profit for the week = $500 + $800 + $200 – $600 = $900

Your Consistency Score = [1 – ($800 (Most Profitable Trading Day) / $900 (Requested
Payout)) * 100%] = 11.11%

You tried to request for a payout but the payout was denied. This is because the your
Consistency Score is less than 75% due to the profits made on Wednesday which
accounts for more than 25% of the requested payout.

You will need to continue trading and to make more profits on other days in order for
your Consistency Score to decrease.

Over the next week, you continue trading and here are your profits:
  – Monday = +$400
  – Tuesday = +$500
  – Wednesday = +$600
  – Thursday = +$450
  – Friday = +$550

Your net profit for the week = $400 + $500 + $600 + $450 + $550 = $2,500
Your requested payout = $900 + $2,500 = $3,400

Your New Consistency Score = [1 – ($800 (Most Profitable Trading Day) / $3,400(Requested Payout)) * 100%] = 76.5%

As your Consistency Score is more than 75%, your payout will be approved!

Experienced Traders: Skill Evaluation Accounts

If you are confident in your trading skills, this account type is built for you!

Once you pass the Skill Evaluation Challenge, you will be eligible for 100% profit splits as a Funded Trader.

If you do not place a trade every 30 days your account will be considered inactive and we will close your account.

Low Profit Target 2-Phase Skill Evaluation Challenge Account
Phase 1: 6%
Phase 2: 6%

Affordable 3-Phase Skill Evaluation Challenge Account
Phase 1: 8%
Phase 2: 4%
Phase 3: 4%

Maximum Daily Drawdown: 4%

The Maximum Daily Drawdown is based on your Equity and you are not allowed to
lose more than 4% in Equity between 00:00 to 23:59 (GMT+8) on any single day.

Example 1: You started trading on your $100,000 account at 00:00 (GMT+8) on day 1
and your Maximum Daily Drawdown is $4,000. If you took a trade and closed it with a
loss of $2,000, you are only allowed to lose $2,000 more for the day. If you took
another trade and incurred a drawdown of $2,000, you would have exceeded the
Maximum Daily Drawdown of 4% and your account will be closed immediately due
to this breach.

Example 2: You started trading on your $100,000 account at 00:00 (GMT+8) on day 1
and your Maximum Daily Drawdown is $4,000. If you entered a trade and closed it
with a profit of $2,000, your Maximum Daily Drawdown becomes $6,000. If you then
took another trade that incurred a floating loss of $6,500 but the trade eventually
ended up positive, it would still count as a violation of the Maximum Daily Drawdown
rule because, at one point during the trade, your Equity was down by $6,500. As a
result, your account will be closed immediately due to this breach.

Example 3: You started trading on your $100,000 account at 00:00 (GMT+8) on day 1
and your Maximum Daily Drawdown is $4,000. If you took a trade and closed it with a
profit of $2,000, your Maximum Daily Drawdown becomes $6,000. If you then took
another trade and incurred a floating loss of $5,000, the Maximum Daily Drawdown
becomes $1,000, which is still within the allowed limit. However, if you held this
position with an open loss of $5,000 after 00:00 (GMT+8) on day 2, the Maximum
Daily Drawdown will be breached. The profit from the previous day will not be carried
forward to the new day after 00:00 (GMT+8), and the $5,000 loss in open positions
exceeds the Maximum Daily Drawdown of $4,000 on day 2. As a result, your account
will be closed immediately due to this breach.

Maximum Overall Drawdown: 8% (Additional 2% Drawdown is available at checkout).

The Maximum Overall Drawdown is based on your Initial Balance and you are not
allowed to lose more than 8% from your Initial Balance on any single day.

Example: You purchased a $100,000 account so your Maximum Overall Drawdown is
$8,000. At any point in time, your Equity should not be below $92,000. Once that
happens, your account will be closed immediately due to this breach.

make a profit of at least 0.5% on 3 trading days.
