Step 2
Complete Evaluation Objectives
Hit the profit target and follow the rules to pass your evaluation.
Trade your evaluation account and meet the profit target while staying within the risk limits. Once achieved, you’re ready to move forward—no delays or extra steps.
Evaluation Rules
To pass the evaluation, you must:
Reach the Profit Target
Hit the required profit percentage based on your chosen account (e.g., 8%).
Stay Within Trailing Drawdown Limits
Maximum Trailing Drawdown: Trails your highest equity reached throughout the evaluation phase.
Additional Guidelines
Account Size Limit:
Traders can hold evaluation accounts up to a combined total of $1,000,000.
Inactivity Rule:
Evaluation accounts with no trades for 30 consecutive calendar days may be automatically closed.
No Restrictions on Strategy:
Use any trading approach—including scalping, news trading, and automated systems.
Step 3:
Activate Your Performance Account
Once you pass the evaluation, your Performance Account will be unlocked—giving you the opportunity to earn real payouts under fair, transparent rules.
Activation Process

KYC Verification
Submit the required documents for identity verification.

Agreement Signing
Sign the trader agreement confirming your understanding of the Performance Account rules and upload on your dashboard

One-Time Activation Fee
(STARTER PATH ONLY)
Pay a one-time activation fee ($300). No recurring or hidden fees.
Performance account guidelines
Once your Performance Account is activated, a few key rules must be followed to remain eligible for payouts. You must also place at least one trade every 30 days to keep your account active.
Click on each rule below for a detailed explanation.
Starter Path
The account must not incur a loss exceeding 6%. This rule is based on a trailing drawdown calculated from the peak. Falling below this limit constitutes a violation and will result in account failure.
Trade freely without worrying about hitting a daily loss cap. Only your overall drawdown matters, giving you more room to recover within your account.
To encourage consistent trading behavior, no single trading day may contribute more than 20% of your total profits during a payout cycle.
Sample Calculation:
Total profit for the payout cycle: $5,000
20% of total profit: 20% × $5,000 = $1,000
This means no single trading day should exceed $1,000 in profit. If a day’s profit goes beyond this limit, the trader will not yet be eligible for a payout and must continue trading until their profits meet the consistency rule.
Traders must actively trade for at least five separate calendar days before becoming eligible for a payout. This requirement ensures consistent engagement and prevents one-day profit spikes from qualifying for withdrawal. Trading activity must occur on five distinct days within the payout cycle.
Each trading day must meet a minimum profit threshold to be counted toward payout eligibility. The required minimum is based on account size:
$25,000 Account: $100 minimum profit per day
$50,000 Account: $200 minimum profit per day
$100,000 Account: $300 minimum profit per day
If the minimum profit is not met on a given day, that day will not be counted as a valid trading day toward the minimum trading day requirement.
PRO Path
The account must not incur a loss exceeding 8%. This rule is based on a trailing drawdown calculated from the peak. Falling below this limit constitutes a violation and will result in account failure.
Trade freely without worrying about hitting a daily loss cap. Only your overall drawdown matters, giving you more room to recover within your account
To encourage consistent trading behavior, no single trading day may contribute more than 20% of your total profits during a payout cycle.
Sample Calculation:
Total profit for the payout cycle: $5,000
20% of total profit: 20% × $5,000 = $1,000
This means no single trading day should exceed $1,000 in profit. If a day’s profit goes beyond this limit, the trader will not yet be eligible for a payout and must continue trading until their profits meet the consistency rule.
Step 4:
Get Paid to trade
After activating your Performance Account and following the rules, you become eligible to receive real payouts from your simulated profits. Our payout system is fast, transparent, and performance-based.
Payout Request Eligibility

Calendar Days
Your Performance Account must be active for at least 21 calendar days before requesting your first payout. 14 calendar days for succeeding payouts. The countdown begins from the date you place your very first trade for each payout cycle.

Trading Days
(STARTER PATH ONLY)
You must trade on at least 5 separate days during the payout cycle. A day only counts if you reach the daily profit target based on your account size

Consistency Rule
No single trading day should account for more than 20% of your total profit. Payouts are only processed once the consistency requirement is met.

Account Standing
Your account must have generated overall simulated profits during the payout cycle. You must not have violated any trading rules or triggered a hard breach.
payout guidelines
Once your Performance Account is activated, a few key rules must be followed to remain eligible for payouts.
Click on each rule below for a detailed explanation.
Once you meet all payout eligibility requirements, a Withdraw Payout button will appear on your account dashboard.
To request a payout:
Click the button, fill out the form, and submit your request.
Make sure that all open positions are closed before submitting your request.
Payouts are typically processed instantly
Be sure to review your account status and trading activity before requesting to avoid any delays.
First payout: after 21 calendar days
Following payouts: every 14 calendar days
First payout: 50%
Second payout: 70%
Third and succeeding payouts: 80%
Each payout cycle is capped at 6% of the starting balance.
Any profit above this cap is not eligible for withdrawal.
Accounts may be flagged for risk review, which can take up to 14 days minimum. Results are final after the risk review.
Arbitrage Practices (Banned)
Exploiting timing or price mismatches across platforms—such as latency arbitrage, hedge arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, or cross-broker arbitrage—is strictly prohibited. These methods undermine fair evaluation and violate market integrity.
High-Risk Strategies (Prohibited)
Strategies such as grid trading, martingale, pyramid scaling, asymmetric scalping and all-in trades (risking majority of account in one trade idea) are not permitted. These methods are considered unsustainable and high-risk by nature.
In rare cases where trading patterns show elements of manufactured consistency, asymmetric scalping, or outsized concentration, we may apply temporary limits to manage account risk. This typically occurs when a trade or trades risk above 2% of the account balance per trade idea, combined with ultra-short holding times or rapid size increases after losses. These limits are not blanket rules and are only applied when objective indicators suggest elevated hidden risk.
Unauthorized Trading Tools
Use of trade copiers, mirror trading software, or third-party tools that automate or replicate trades without approval is not allowed. All trading tools must be explicitly authorized.
Tick Scalping Restrictions
Ultra-short-term scalping strategies targeting minimal price fluctuations (e.g., < 1 pip) in milliseconds are not permitted. These cause execution strain and are considered exploitative.
Behavioral Violations
Examples include gambling-style trades, consistently betting in one direction without justification, and strategies driven by emotion rather than logic. Such patterns may lead to disqualification.
Overtrading Rules
Excessive trading frequency without strategic purpose, margin abuse, or emotionally reactive trades can violate your account’s health and lead to review or closure.
Manipulative Trading Restrictions
Tactics intended to distort prices, manipulate volatility, or exploit illiquid market conditions are not allowed. This includes pump-and-dump schemes, particularly in crypto assets.
Inconsistent Strategy Switching
Significant changes in strategy between evaluation and performance phases—such as shifting from low-risk to hyper-aggressive trades—are considered misleading and may void payouts or accounts.
Consequences of Violations
Any activity that breaches the above Prohibited Trading Practices will trigger immediate review by our Risk Team. Depending on the severity, intent, and impact, violations may lead to a hard breach resulting in permanent account termination and forfeiture of all simulated profits and pending payouts. In other cases, the trader’s risk exposure may be reduced by lowering the maximum allowable risk percentage per trade. Serious or repeated violations may also result in a full platform ban, permanently preventing access to all future programs within the firm.
The following rules govern acceptable behavior across all parts of the platform, including account setup, access, conduct, and trading ethics.
Strictly Prohibited Conduct
Any illegal, unethical, or inappropriate behavior—such as harassment, discrimination, or violation of international financial laws—is not tolerated.
Deceptive and Malicious Behavior
This includes submitting fake documents or identity information, exploiting technical bugs, deploying malicious code, or using data in an unauthorized way.
Platform Exploitation
Attempting to manipulate the platform’s infrastructure—such as order processing delays, pricing errors, or execution lag—is a serious violation and grounds for immediate disqualification.
Account Misuse
Accounts must be used solely by their registered owner. Sharing login credentials, using unauthorized VPNs or remote tools, and managing multiple accounts to bypass rules is strictly forbidden.
Expert Advisor (EA) Restrictions
While EAs are allowed, they must reflect real-world trading behavior. EAs designed to exploit price feeds, latency, or execute arbitrage/martingale/grid strategies are strictly prohibited.
Third-Party Terms Violations
Violating the terms of our brokers, liquidity partners, or tech providers will be treated as a breach of our own policies and can result in mirrored action (e.g., restriction or ban).
Proprietary Trading Exclusion
Traders affiliated with other prop firms are not eligible to participate in PaidToTrade programs. This helps ensure fairness and transparency across all participants.
Enforcement & Consequences
Violations may lead to warnings, removal of profits, account resets, or permanent bans. Severe or repeat violations may be reported to legal or regulatory authorities.
Traders may maintain multiple active Performance Accounts, provided the combined total account size does not exceed $400,000. This policy ensures fair distribution of trading capacity and promotes responsible risk management across all active accounts.
We offer multiple secure payout options to accommodate traders worldwide:
Bank Transfer: Receive funds directly to your local bank in USD, EUR, GBP, and other supported currencies.
Crypto Wallet: Withdraw in stablecoins like USDC, USDT, or ETH (ERC-20) to your personal wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Coinbase, Gnosis Safe).
Account is reset to the original starting balance.
You may continue trading and qualify for the next payout cycle.
Payouts may not be issued if trading rules or company policies are violated during the payout cycle.
This may result in either a soft breach or account termination, depending on the severity of the violation.
In the case of a soft breach, the account will be reset to its starting balance, and no payout will be issued for that cycle.
If the account is terminated, the trader will be required to start over from the evaluation phase to continue in the program.
All traders are expected to follow the rules and company policies to remain eligible for simulated payouts.
Clear Rules, Clean Path to Payouts.
Your path to simulated payouts starts with discipline and consistency.
Follow the rules, stay profitable, and get paid to trade.
