Name: 1-Step Funding Challenge
Brand: Traders4Traders

Question 1

What is Traders4Traders?

Accepted Answer

Traders4Traders is a prop trading firm that provides traders with an opportunity to trade on simulated accounts and earn real profits. We identify skilled traders through our Funding Trials and then provide them with funded accounts to trade with our capital. Traders keep up to 95% of profits generated.

Question 2

How does the Funding Trial work?

Accepted Answer

Declare your Max Loss Limit (1%–7.5%), pay a one-time registration fee, and trade the locked plan for a 30-day window. Hit your target with a valid sample and prove your edge to the desk — then you receive a funded account.

Question 3

What is the One-Number System?

Accepted Answer

You declare ONE number — your Max Loss Limit (MLL), from 1% to 7.5%. Everything else derives from it: your daily loss limit is 33% of your MLL, your profit target is 2× your MLL, and your best day cap is 40% of your target. Your plan is locked at declaration and is the rulebook you trade against.

Question 4

Is Traders4Traders regulated?

Accepted Answer

Traders4Traders operates as a proprietary trading firm providing simulated challenge programs. We are not a broker and do not offer financial advice. Trading involves risk and past performance does not guarantee future results.

Question 5

Who can join?

Accepted Answer

Traders from all over the world are welcome. There are no nationality, location, or background restrictions. As long as you are of legal age in your jurisdiction, you can apply.

Question 6

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Simply create a free account on our platform, choose your account size, declare your plan, pay the one-time fee, and start trading immediately. Visit our Challenges page to see available options.

Question 7

Is there a time limit on the Funding Trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a fixed 30-day window. At day 30 there is a checkpoint: if you are at or above 50% of your target with no breaches or plan deviations, you get an extra 15 days (45 total). Below that, you are ruled out and can start again.

Question 8

What are the drawdown limits?

Accepted Answer

Engine hard caps: 2.5% maximum daily loss (17:00 NY equity check), 7.5% maximum overall drawdown (trailing floor), and 2.5% maximum open risk.Your declared rules are tighter: your MLL (1%–7.5%) sets your daily loss at 33% of MLL. The plan you signed is the plan you trade — deviation is a hard breach.

Question 9

What is the minimum number of trades?

Accepted Answer

You need a statistical sample of approximately 25–30 trades to pass. A fast target hit is NOT rewarded — we measure consistency and adherence to your declared plan, not a lucky streak.

Question 10

What happens if I deviate from my declared plan?

Accepted Answer

Your plan is locked at declaration — hash-stored and unchangeable. More trades than your declared pace, bigger stops, or higher risk per trade than declared is a hard breach, on top of the engine hard caps. You broke your own plan.

Question 11

Can I trade news events?

Accepted Answer

Yes. News trading is fully permitted. We believe in giving traders complete market access without artificial restrictions.

Question 12

Can I use Expert Advisors (EAs) or algorithms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Automated trading strategies, Expert Advisors, copy trading, and manual approaches are all allowed. There are no restrictions on your trading methodology.

Question 13

Can I hold positions overnight or over the weekend?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can hold positions overnight and over the weekend. There are no restrictions on holding periods.

Question 14

What happens if I violate a rule?

Accepted Answer

If you breach the engine hard caps (daily loss, max drawdown, no stop-loss) or deviate from your declared plan, the Funding Trial is terminated. You can purchase a new trial at any time and start again.

Question 15

What happens after I pass the Funding Trial?

Accepted Answer

Once you pass, you'll receive a funded account — set up with the exact same rules and limits you declared. Your Max Loss Limit, daily loss, profit target, risk per trade, and risk/reward ratio carry over to the funded account unchanged. You trade with the firm's capital and keep up to 95% of all profits you generate. There are no additional fees, no monthly subscriptions, and no further challenge targets.

Question 16

Will my funded account have the same rules as my Funding Trial plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes — exactly the same. The plan you build and lock at declaration is the plan your funded account runs on. The Max Loss Limit, daily loss cap, profit target, risk per trade, and risk/reward ratio you declared are the same numbers we set your funded account up with. You proved that plan for 30 days, so you trade the same plan with real capital. No changes, no surprises.

Question 17

What is the profit split?

Accepted Answer

You keep up to 95% of all profits generated on your funded account. The exact split depends on your account tier and performance, but starts at 80% and can increase to 95% through our scaling plan.

Question 18

How do payouts work?

Accepted Answer

You can request payouts every 14 days (weekly for Elite tiers and above). There is no minimum profit requirement to request a payout. Once requested, payouts are processed within the stated processing time for your chosen method.

Question 19

Is there a scaling plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Consistently profitable traders qualify for our scaling plan. Your account size can increase based on your performance, allowing you to trade with larger capital over time.

Question 20

Can I have multiple funded accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can manage multiple funded accounts simultaneously. Each account operates independently with its own rules and profit targets.

Question 21

What happens if I lose money on my funded account?

Accepted Answer

You trade with our capital, so you do not personally lose money. However, if you breach the drawdown limits, the funded account will be closed. You can always purchase a new challenge to earn another funded account.

Question 22

What trading platforms do you support?

Accepted Answer

We support MetaTrader 5 (MT5) through Pepperstone's institutional-grade infrastructure — the platform that powers your entire challenge and funded account journey.

Who is your broker?
