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 Evaluations and then provide them with funded accounts to trade with our capital. Traders keep up to 90% of profits generated.

Question 2

How does the Funding Evaluation work?

Accepted Answer

Trade the standard plan (7.5% Max Loss Limit, 10% profit target) or choose your own profit target — your Max Loss Limit is 75% of it. Pay a one-time registration fee and trade the locked plan with no time limit. Hit your target with a valid sample and prove your edge — then you receive a funded account.

Question 3

What is the One-Number System?

Accepted Answer

Trade Our Limits = the standard plan: 7.5% Max Loss Limit and 10% profit target. Trade Yours = you choose your profit target and your Max Loss Limit is 75% of it (e.g. 10% target → 7.5% MLL). Either way, your daily loss limit is 33% of your MLL and your best day cap is 40% of your target. Your plan is locked when you start and is the rulebook you trade against.

Question 4

Is Traders4Traders regulated?

Accepted Answer

Traders4Traders operates as a proprietary trading firm providing simulated evaluation 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, set your plan, pay the one-time fee, and start trading immediately. Visit our Evaluations page to see available options.

Question 7

Is there a time limit on the Funding Evaluation?

Accepted Answer

No — there is no time limit to pass. Take as long as you need to hit your target. The only clock is a 30-day inactivity rule: if you do not trade for 30 consecutive days, the account is closed. One trade every 30 days keeps it active.

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 plan rules: Trade Our Limits = standard 7.5% MLL and 10% target. Trade Yours = your MLL is 75% of your chosen target, 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

Traders that pass the evaluation on average have 25 trades. We measure consistency and adherence to your plan, not a lucky streak — a fast target hit is not rewarded.

Question 10

What happens if I deviate from my plan?

Accepted Answer

Your plan is locked when you start — hash-stored and unchangeable. More trades than your planned pace, bigger stops, or higher risk per trade than your plan 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 plan, the Funding Evaluation is terminated. You can purchase a new evaluation at any time and start again.

Question 15

What happens after I pass the Funding Evaluation?

Accepted Answer

Once you pass, you'll receive a funded account — set up with the exact same rules and limits you set. 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 90% of all profits you generate. There are no additional fees, no monthly subscriptions, and no further evaluation targets.

Question 16

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

Accepted Answer

Yes — exactly the same. The plan you build and lock when you start 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 set are the same numbers we set your funded account up with. You proved that plan, 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 90% 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 90% through our scaling plan.

Question 18

How do payouts work?

Accepted Answer

You can request payouts every week. 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 evaluation to earn another funded account.

Question 22

What trading platforms do you support?

Accepted Answer
