Visit our website and register for a trader account. You’ll provide basic information and agree to our terms of service to create your profile.

While you don’t need professional experience, a solid understanding of trading concepts, risk management, and our platform (MetaTrader 5) is highly recommended to successfully pass the evaluation.

All account types require a one-time evaluation fee. Refer to our account comparison page to see which option fits you best.

Once you choose your evaluation plan, you’ll receive login credentials for a demo or trial environment. Your goal is to meet specific profit targets and stay within daily and overall drawdown limits.

If you meet all requirements (profit targets, risk limits, etc.) within the evaluation period, you’ll receive a live, funded account. From there, you keep a portion of the profits you generate, typically 80%+.

Evaluation periods vary depending on your chosen plan. Some allow you to complete it in as little as a week if you hit the required targets, while others span up to a month or more.

Yes. You’re welcome to try again under our re-entry rules. Specific fees, timelines, or changes in profit targets may apply.

A prop firm (short for “proprietary trading firm”) provides traders with the firm’s capital to trade financial instruments. Instead of having clients, the firm makes profits by taking positions in the market using its own funds. Traders keep a percentage of the profits they generate, and the firm covers losses up to predefined limits.

No. The essence of a prop firm is that you use the firm’s capital instead of your own. You’ll be required to demonstrate trading consistency and discipline—usually through an evaluation period—before receiving live funded accounts.

Our firm offers a competitive profit split, typically allowing you to keep up to 100% of your profits. The firm takes the remaining share to cover expenses like technology, risk management, and operational overhead.

We provide access to a wide range of financial markets, including forex, equities, indices, and commodities. Specific instrument availability may vary depending on your account type and region.

Withdrawing profits is straightforward. Simply submit a withdrawal request through your dashboard, and we’ll process it via the payment method of your choice. Typical processing times range from one to three business days.

We require all new traders to pass a performance challenge to ensure they can trade responsibly within set risk parameters. Once you meet the profit target while respecting daily and overall drawdown limits, you advance to a live funded account.

We welcome traders from around the world, but there may be restrictions in certain jurisdictions due to regulatory requirements. Please check our terms or contact support for specific details about your region.

We offer ongoing technical and account support, as well as educational resources. Once you’re a funded trader, you’ll also have access to our analytics tools, performance dashboards, and live chat support.

You’ll have access to 1:100 leverage for Phase 1, Phase 2, and the Funded Account—offering a balance of flexibility and risk management.

Permitted Trading Styles and Strategies High-Frequency Trading (HFT) Bots (Challenge Phase Only) Allowed specifically during the HFT Evaluation Challenge. News Trading You’re free to open or close positions around major economic releases. Weekend Position Holding We permit carrying trades over weekends, subject to standard risk controls. Prohibited (or Toxic) Trading Styles and Strategies Grid Trading You may only add once to a losing position. Repeatedly layering multiple positions in a “grid” pattern is not allowed. Tick Scalping Strategies that rely on extremely short-term “tick-level” moves to exploit price feeds or platform latency are forbidden. Martingale Aggressively doubling down on losing trades is not permitted due to the excessive risk it introduces. Hedging Holding opposing positions on the same instrument to artificially manage margin or drawdown is disallowed. Spamming Rapidly opening and closing orders (or sending excessive trade requests) to abuse execution or server latency is strictly prohibited. Latency Arbitrage Exploiting delays between quote providers or using software to capitalize on discrepancies in data feeds is considered a toxic practice. Quote Manipulation Any attempt to manipulate bid/ask quotes or generate false market signals violates our fair-trading policy. Other Platform Exploits Any strategy that deliberately takes advantage of technical loopholes, glitches, or errors on the platform is likewise banned. If a funded trader is found using any prohibited or toxic strategy, Pro-Tix reserves the right to take immediate corrective action. This may include suspending the account, revoking access to the firm’s capital, withholding profits associated with the offending trades, and/or terminating the trader’s contract altogether. We enforce these measures to ensure a fair and secure trading environment for all participants.

We currently do not accept traders residing in the following jurisdictions: United States of America (USA) Cuba Iran North Korea Myanmar Russia (including the Crimea, Donetsk, or Luhansk regions of Ukraine) Somalia Syria If you live in any of these locations, you will be ineligible to open or maintain an account with Pro-Tix. These restrictions are in place to comply with various international regulations and sanctions.

By the time you’ve advanced to the final payout tier, you’ve proven your consistency and reliability as a top-performing trader. At this stage, we connect your account to live liquidity and/or replicate your trades in our own environments. Effectively, you keep every dollar of profit you generate on your funded account (100% profit split), while we still benefit by copying your successful strategies on our end. Until you reach that highest tier, your trading takes place on a simulated account—ensuring you have the freedom to hone your skills and achieve each payout milestone without risking real capital. Once you’ve demonstrated consistent profitability, transitioning to live liquidity/copy trading allows everyone to profit from your expertise. This model ensures a win-win: you receive 100% of your gains, and Pro-Tix benefits by mirroring the trades of our most successful traders.

Initially, our funded accounts operate in a simulated environment, allowing you to trade with “virtual” capital during the earlier payout stages. This approach ensures there’s no real money at risk while you prove your consistency and discipline. Once you’ve demonstrated profitable performance over time—particularly at the higher payout tiers—we connect your trades to live liquidity or copy them to our own real-capital accounts. This model helps manage risk effectively while still giving top traders an opportunity to earn substantial rewards.

Traders are strictly prohibited from copying or mirroring the trades of other traders. This applies both to internal copying within our platform and to any third-party copy-trading services. If we determine that an account is engaging in copy trading—whether as a copier or a signal provider—that account will be suspended. Each trader must execute their own unique strategies, and no trading signals or setups may be duplicated across multiple accounts.

Hedging across multiple accounts is strictly prohibited. This includes taking offsetting positions on the same instrument in separate accounts—whether with us or through external platforms—to artificially minimize risk or manipulate drawdown. If we detect such activity, the involved accounts will be suspended or terminated. All traders are expected to manage their positions responsibly under a single account to ensure a fair and transparent trading environment.

If you violate drawdown limits or other critical rules, you may need to re-enter the challenge.

Our primary supported platform is MetaTrader 5 (MT5), offering advanced charting tools, automated trading capabilities (EAs), and a user-friendly interface accessible on both desktop and mobile. Please check with our support team for any additional platform availability or special requirements.

You must be at least 18 years of age, or the applicable minimum legal age in your country, to purchase an assessment.

Yes. If you do not place a trade at least once every 30 days on your account, we will consider you inactive and your account will be breached.

No, you can hold your trades overnight but be aware of swap fees.

Our One Step Challenge is a streamlined evaluation process. Instead of multiple phases, you only need to meet one set of objectives—hit the profit target of 10% without breaching drawdown limits—to qualify for a funded account.

No. Unlike many two-phase challenges, the One Step Challenge has 0 minimum trading days, giving you the freedom to pass as quickly (or as slowly) as you choose—so long as you respect the risk parameters.

Daily Drawdown: 6% Maximum Drawdown: 12% These limits protect both you and the firm. If you exceed them, you’ll fail the challenge and may need to reapply.

Yes. We fully support automated strategies, so you can run EAs throughout the challenge as long as they comply with our risk guidelines.

Upon reaching the 10% profit target without violating drawdown rules, you’ll move directly to a Funded account. There’s no second phase to complete.

Minimum Trading Days: 5 Daily Drawdown: 6% Maximum Drawdown: 12% Profit Split: 60/40 (in your favor) Payout Frequency: Bi-weekly Leverage: 1:100 Maximum Allocation: Up to $1,000,000

No. Traders are free to approach the challenge as they see fit, provided they stay within the drawdown limits. However, once funded, a consistency rule is applied to encourage stable, responsible trading.

Yes, we charge an entry or evaluation fee to take the challenge. Check our pricing details for the exact cost and any potential refunds for successful completion.

Yes, High-Frequency Trading (HFT) is permitted for the One Step Challenge only. However, once you transition to a funded account, HFT and similar ultra-fast strategies are no longer allowed. Additionally, HFT is only authorized for a limited timeframe during the challenge, so make sure to check our specific guidelines for further details.

No, there is no time limit. You can complete the challenge entirely at your own pace, without worrying about any strict deadline. This flexibility allows you to focus on executing sound strategies rather than rushing to meet a target within a set timeframe.

Purpose: To ensure trades remain within a consistent range relative to your average position size. How It Works: Average Trade Size Calculated at the time of your payout review. Total lot volume over the review period is divided by the total number of closed orders. Example: If you traded 100 lots in total and closed 10 orders, your average trade size is 10 lots. Consistency Range Based on the average trade size, we calculate a permissible range for your lot sizes: Minimum: 50% below your average trade size Maximum: 50% above your average trade size Using the previous example (10 lots): Minimum = 10 × 0.50 = 5 lots Maximum = 10 × 1.50 = 15 lots Trade Grouping Rule Trades opened on the same symbol within a 30-second window are grouped as a single trade. For instance: A 2-lot XAUUSD trade at 10:52:30 AM Another 2-lot XAUUSD trade at 10:52:56 AM These combine into a single 4-lot trade for consistency calculations. Review & Enforcement Any trades exceeding the calculated consistency range may be reviewed and could result in adjustments or deductions from your profit split. Partial orders (e.g., closing half a position) are considered separate trades for the purposes of these calculations.

Purpose: To prevent excessively large trades or risky setups that could jeopardize the account in a single day. Rule Overview: 25% Profit Cap On any given day, the total profit from all trades—or your biggest single trade setup—must not exceed 25% of your overall payout potential. Responsible Risk Management This cap encourages you to maintain balanced trade sizes and avoid over-leveraging during volatile market conditions. Enforcement Breaching this limit may trigger additional scrutiny of your account or result in profit deductions, to uphold fair and stable risk practices.

Your share of the profits increases as you progress through each payout milestone, rewarding consistent performance and responsible risk management. Below is the breakdown of the splits at each stage: First Payout: 60% Trader / 40% Firm Second Payout: 65% Trader / 35% Firm Third Payout: 85% Trader / 20% Firm Fourth Payout: 90% Trader / 10% Firm Fifth Payout: 100% Trader / 0% Firm By meeting the required targets and adhering to all trading rules, you advance through the tiers—ultimately keeping 100% of your profits once you reach the final level.

Our consistency rules (including lot size range and daily trade limit) help maintain disciplined trading. If you violate these guidelines: Trades affected with be deducted from your profit share. Repeated violations can lead to account suspension Upholding consistent trading habits is crucial to protecting both your profits and the firm’s capital.

Yes. Holding positions through weekends or significant economic releases is allowed. However, be mindful of potential volatility and ensure you manage risk appropriately. If your strategy involves high-impact news trading, remember to stay within your drawdown limits.

Automated strategies, including EAs, are permitted for 1 Step Funded Accounts—unless they involve any prohibited tactics (e.g., latency arbitrage, spamming, or toxic HFT methods) Please check our Prohibited Strategies FAQ for a breakdown of all strategies not allowed. Always make sure your EA follows the same consistency and risk parameters as manual trades. IMPORTANT: If you are using a third party EA we urge you to tailor the settings as much as possible and not to use out of the box 'set files' as you'll likely share trading behavior with another trader.

Once you meet the 21-day requirement for your first payout, you can submit a withdrawal request through our trader dashboard. Processing Time: Typically 1–3 business days Withdrawal Methods: Bank transfer, cryptocurrency, or e-wallets (check current availability) Subsequent payouts occur bi-weekly, allowing you to schedule withdrawals at regular intervals.

It’s an evaluation process designed to assess your trading skills in two phases. You’ll need to achieve predefined profit targets without violating drawdown limits across both phases to qualify for a live funded account.

Phase 1: 8% Phase 2: 5% Meet these goals without exceeding risk parameters, and you’ll advance to (or complete) the next step.

Phase 1 & Phase 2: 0 minimum trading days. You can pass as quickly or slowly as you like. Funded Account: 5 minimum trading days are required for each payout cycle. There’s no official time limit for completing each phase; focus on disciplined and consistent trading.

Daily Drawdown: 5% Max Overall Drawdown: 10% If you exceed these thresholds in any phase, you’ll fail the challenge and may need to restart.

Yes. You can use EAs or automated strategies during both evaluation phases and once funded, provided they comply with our trading rules and do not exploit latency or similar prohibited tactics.

No. We do not impose a consistency rule for either phase or the funded account. You’re free to trade as aggressively or conservatively as you choose—just stay within the drawdown limits.

Upon passing Phase 2, you’ll receive a live, funded account with a 80/20 profit split in your favor. You can withdraw profits bi-weekly, with a 5-day minimum trading period per payout cycle.

We can fund accounts up to $1,000,000. As you demonstrate profitable and responsible trading, you may qualify for additional capital allocations.

No. High-Frequency Trading (HFT) is not permitted in the 2 Step Challenge. If you’re interested in using HFT strategies, consider joining our 1 Step Challenge, where it’s allowed under specific conditions.

Once you complete the Two-Step Evaluation, your profit share increases with each successive payout milestone, recognizing consistent performance over time. Below is the breakdown at each stage: First Payout: 80% Trader / 20% Firm Second Payout: 85% Trader / 15% Firm Third Payout: 90% Trader / 10% Firm Fourth Payout: 95% Trader / 5% Firm Fifth Payout: 100% Trader / 0% Firm By demonstrating steady profitability and adhering to our guidelines, you’ll gradually move toward earning 100% of your gains on future payouts. This model rewards disciplined traders while aligning our interests in your long-term success.

Payout Frequency for 2 Step Funded First Payout: On-Demand. Once you’re funded and start generating profits, you can request your first withdrawal at a time that suits you. Second & Ongoing Payouts: Bi-Weekly. After your first successful withdrawal, payouts shift to a bi-weekly schedule, ensuring a consistent routine for receiving your earnings.

First Payout: 21 Days. After you’re funded, you can request your initial withdrawal once you’ve reached 21 days of trading. Second & Ongoing Payouts: Bi-Weekly. Following your first successful withdrawal, payouts transition to a bi-weekly schedule, providing consistent opportunities to access your earnings.

Like our 1 Step program, the 2 Step Funded accounts initially operate in a simulated environment. While you’re still eligible for real profit payouts, the trades themselves don’t directly impact live capital until you’ve proven consistent profitability. Once you advance through the required milestones, your trades may be connected to live liquidity or copied to our real-capital accounts.

Step 1: You’ll need to hit an initial profit target (e.g., 8%) without exceeding daily or total drawdown limits. Step 2: After passing Step 1, you progress to a second evaluation phase with a slightly lower profit target (e.g., 5%) and the same or slightly modified risk rules. Successfully completing both steps qualifies you for a live funded account.

Our 2 Step Funded program rewards consistency. Here’s the usual tiered payout progression (adapt these figures to your policy): 1st Payout: 80% Trader / 20% Firm 2nd Payout: 85% Trader / 15% Firm 3rd Payout: 90% Trader / 10% Firm 4th Payout: 95% Trader / 5% Firm 5th Payout: 100% Trader / 0% Firm You continue at 100% if you maintain profitability and abide by all trading rules.

First Payout: On-Demand. After generating profits in your funded account, you may request an initial withdrawal. Second & Ongoing Payouts: Bi-Weekly. Once your first payout is processed, you’ll shift to a regular bi-weekly cycle for subsequent withdrawals.

Yes. EAs and other algorithmic trading tools are permitted as long as they don’t employ prohibited or “toxic” strategies (such as latency arbitrage, spamming, or tick scalping) Please check our Prohibited Strategies FAQ for a breakdown of all strategies not allowed. Always verify that your automated methods comply with firm guidelines. IMPORTANT: If you are using a third party EA we urge you to tailor the settings as much as possible and not to use out of the box 'set files' as you'll likely share trading behavior with another trader.

Yes, unless stated otherwise in your contract. Holding positions through weekends or major economic releases is permitted; however, be mindful of sudden market gaps and volatility. Always manage your risk responsibly to avoid breaches in daily or overall drawdown.
