Frequently asked questions

All DDXprop accounts, including Funded Trader Accounts, operate with virtual funds in a demo environment that simulates real market conditions. Although traders can earn real profits, these accounts are not funded with real money.

Unlike standard demo accounts, which offer an idealized trading experience with instant trade execution, our simulated environment is designed to replicate the realities of the market. We use real Prime Liquidity Providers’ price feeds and depth of market data to simulate market liquidity. This means that trades are executed with real-world factors like speed, slippage, and spreads in mind.

The account sizes currently offered by DDXprop can be found on our website. Your Funded Trader Account will match the size you selected and used during the Challenge. Traders can earn up to 90% of the profits generated in their accounts, which is among the highest in the industry. Please, note that these accounts are funded with virtual money, and all trading occurs in a simulated environment. We do not limit the number of accounts a client can open with us. However, we impose a maximum combined capital of $1,000,000.

Yes, there are. In your trading you are not allowed to:

• Perform, alone or in concert with any other persons, trades or combinations of trades, the purpose of which is to manipulate trading, for example by simultaneously entering opposite positions.
• Use any software, artificial intelligence, ultra-high speed, or mass data entry which might manipulate, abuse, or give you an unfair advantage when using our systems or services.
• Knowingly or unknowingly use trading strategies that exploit errors in the services such as errors in the display of prices or delay in their updates.
• Simultaneously perform trades using a faster external data feed, trying to take advantage of potential delays in our feed.
• Perform trades in conflict with the terms and conditions of the Trader Zone provider and the trading platform’s terms and conditions.
• Perform gap trading by opening trade(s) when major global news, macroeconomic events, corporate reports or earnings reports, which might affect the relevant financial market, are scheduled.
• Perform trades in contradiction with how trading is performed in the forex market or in any other financial market, or in a way that establishes justified concerns that DDXprop might suffer financial or other harm because of the customer’s activities.
• The following is a non-exhaustive list of forbidden trading practices: overleveraging, overexposure, one-sided bets, scalping, grid trading.

If you violate any of the trading rules in your Challenge or in your Funded Trader Account, your account will be deactivated, and you’ll need to start over with a new Challenge Account. If you engage in any Forbidden Trading Practices, all your accounts may be deactivated, and your agreements with FPT could be terminated.

Yes, you can keep your positions open overnight. However, if we suspect that you are doing it to purposefully breach any of our rules, DDXprop reserves the right to either reverse any or all your trades associated with the attempted fraud, and/or terminate your account(s).

Our aim is to provide our traders with a wide range of instruments and trading conditions that align with sound risk management practices. We offer the following asset types: Forex, Indices, Commodities, Equities and Cryptocurrencies. The full list of the instruments that we offer, and their specifications, can be found on the Instruments section of our website.

The trading accounts provided by DDXprop operate within a simulated environment, utilizing virtual funds. This applies to all account types, including Free Trial, Challenge, and Funded Trader accounts. Despite the simulated nature, we strive to replicate the workings of real financial markets to provide an authentic trading experience. We aim for you to be well-prepared and knowledgeable about the realities of trading from the start. This way, when you achieve your goal of becoming a Funded Trader, you’ll be equipped to manage risk effectively and grow steadily.

What does this mean for you? It means that we use real-time Prime Liquidity Feeds to execute your orders. The market depth, liquidity, and volatility at any given time might result in slippage, wider spreads, or potential delays in execution. Slippage can occur in both positive and negative directions, without bias. However, we do not apply any hidden markups or additional slippage.

All Funded Trader Accounts operate with virtual funds. However, when traders generate profit, they are entitled to receive a real payout as a portion of the profits, known as the Profit Split.

We have a 5-day minimum trading days rule. To adhere to it, you need to make at least one trade in 5 different days, which do not need to be consecutive. As long as you adhere to our Trading Rules and avoid Forbidden Trading Practices, you can take as much time as needed to reach your target.

The results of the Customer’s simulated trading will always be evaluated by DDXprop for a minimum period of 20 days. This period is also known as the “Reference Period”. The latter will always start on the day of the first demo trade in the Trader Account and end in 20 days. Your account must be active for at least 20 days before your first payout.

For the purpose of calculating the Reference Period, one 20-day period means the end of the day of the following period (i.e. at 11:59:59 p.m. of Central European Time), which corresponds by its numerical designation to the day on which the Customer performed the first demo trade.

Once you achieve a profit, you can request a payout of your Profit Split by emailing us at support@ddxprop.com. You will need to specify the portion of the Profit Split you wish to receive and your preferred payment method.

Payouts start at 75% and can increase to 90%.
1st Payout – 75%
2nd Payout – 80%
3rd Payout – 85%
4th Payout – 90%
A 14-day gap is required between each payout.

Payout Withdrawal Criteria: To request a withdrawal, a trader must achieve a minimum of $100 in profit. At a time, they can withdraw a maximum of 12% of their initial capital.
Example: A trader with a $5K account can request a maximum withdrawal of $600 at a time. There is no limit on achieving maximum profit.

Due to high transaction fees, we require a minimum Profit Split payout of €150. All taxes and fees are the trader’s responsibility.

Our evaluation process for granting access to a Funded Trader Account is straight-forward. It consists of either 1 step, or 2 steps of assessment, depending on the purchased Challenge type. Here’s what follows once you have finalized your payment:

Step 1: you will start by trading on the platform and the account of your choice, aiming to achieve a predefined Profit Target while following our Trading Rules. This phase is designed to test your ability to trade consistently and effectively. Upon successfully meeting the criteria, you will either: pass the Challenge and be recommended for a Funded Trader Account, if you have purchased a 1-Step Challenge; or progress to Step 2, in case you have purchased a 2-Step Challenge.

Step 2: the second step of the evaluation process is present only for those who have purchased a 2-step account. In this stage, you’ll trade on a new account of the same size as in the first step. Since you’ve already demonstrated short-term trading skills, this phase focuses on your ability to maintain profitability over the long-term.

Once you successfully complete and pass the Challenge, you’ll be recommended for a Funded Trader Account. Final approval will require passing a KYC identification check and signing the FTP Trader Account Agreement.

Please note, each new Funded Trader Account requires completing a separate Challenge, as we do not issue new accounts based on previous performance.

Once you achieve the Profit Target of our Challenge, and provided that you have followed all our Trading Rules, you can stop trading and relax for a bit. Our company will have to screen your trading and if everything is OK, you will be provided with a Funded Trader Account to sign. After finalizing this formality, you will be granted a Funded Trader Account with the same initial balance as your Challenge account.

No, you cannot. If you become a funded trader, you will be trading on the same platform you have chosen when purchasing your Challenge Account. If you want to change that, you will need to take a new Challenge and complete it.

We do not impose a maximum number of trading days, allowing you to take as much time as needed to complete the process. However, we require at least 5 trading days in each phase of the Challenge. These days do not need to be consecutive and can be spaced out based on your trading style and strategy.

If you are a Funded Trader, it means that you have clearly demonstrated your ability to trade consistently and profitably while adhering to our Trading Rules. As a result, you have been given an account that can generate real profits for you. Keep in mind that although the funds in the Trader Account are virtual and the trading takes place in a simulated environment, you will begin to earn real money. As we might use your trading data for real market trades on our own account, our Trading Rules remain consistent with those in the Challenge.

The rules are clear and straight-forward:

• Min Trading Days: 5
  You must execute trades on at least 5 different days. These can be consecutive or spread out, depending on your trading style.
• Max Trading Days: none
• Profit Target: none
• Profit Split: up to the industry leading 90%
  Payouts start at 75% and can increase to 90%.
  1st Payout – 75%
  2nd Payout – 80%
  3rd Payout – 85%
  4th Payout – 90%
  A 14-day gap is required between each payouts.
• Max Daily Loss: 4% of the initial account balance
  This rule limits your daily losses to 4% of the initial balance, ensuring disciplined risk management. A potential violation would be considered a breach and would result in the closure of your Funded Trader account.
• Max Loss: 8% of the initial account balance
  This acts as a stop-loss for your account. If your account equity (balance + open P/L), including swaps and commissions, drops below 90% of the initial balance, you’ll have violated this rule. It is designed to protect the account funds while encouraging responsible risk management. A potential violation of this rule would be considered a breach and would result in the closure of your Funded Trader account.

The purpose of the Challenge is for DDXprop to observe and evaluate your trading style in a simulated environment. Since your trading data may be used for real market trading on our own account, it is essential for you to demonstrate that you manage risk effectively and trade responsibly.

The rules in Step 1 and Step 2 are analogical:

• Min Trading Days: 5
  You must execute trades on at least 5 different days. These can be consecutive or spread out, depending on your trading style.
• Max Trading Days: none
• Profit Target: 10% of the initial account balance Once you achieve the profit target, you will see this indicated on your Dashboard. At this point, you need to close all your open positions. Once you do that, the difference between your current balance and your initial balance should be equal to or higher than 10%.
• Max Daily Loss: 4% of the initial account balance This rule limits your daily losses to 4% of the initial balance, ensuring disciplined risk management. A potential violation of this rule results in the closure of your Challenge account.
• Max Loss: 8% of the initial account balance This acts as a stop-loss for your account. If your account equity (balance + open P/L), including swaps and commissions, drops below 90% of the initial balance, you’ll have violated this rule. It is designed to protect the account funds while encouraging responsible risk management. A potential violation of this rule results in the closure of your Challenge account.
