FAQ
Trading rules, payouts, and strategies – clearly explained.
Below you'll find answers to the most common questions about how MarginFunded operates. This is not legal or investment advice – always read the full client agreement before participating.
Trading rules
What instruments can I trade? →
You can trade major and minor forex pairs, popular indices (such as US30, NAS100, GER40), spot metals (XAUUSD, XAGUSD), and a curated list of liquid crypto pairs. Exact symbols may vary by liquidity provider but are always listed in your dashboard.
How is drawdown calculated? →
Daily drawdown is calculated on your equity relative to the previous day's end-of-day balance, including open trades. Overall drawdown is measured against your starting balance (or highest balance on some programs). Breaching either limit results in a loss of the account or challenge phase.
Is there a minimum trading days requirement? →
Evaluation programs require a small number of minimum trading days per phase (typically 3–5) to encourage consistency. Express and Instant programs may have no minimum days, but we still monitor risk and behavior.
Payout schedule
When can I request my first payout? →
You can request your first payout 14 trading days after placing the first trade on your funded account, provided you have a positive balance and meet any minimum profit and volume requirements listed in your dashboard.
How often can I withdraw? →
After your first payout, you can request withdrawals every 14 trading days. We aim to process all approved payouts within 1–3 business days, depending on the payment method.
What profit split do I receive? →
Profit splits depend on the program and performance, typically between 70% and 90% in your favor. Higher consistency, controlled risk, and longevity can unlock better tiers and scaling allocations.
Allowed strategies
What styles of trading are allowed? →
We welcome discretionary and systematic strategies including swing trading, day trading, and intraday scalping. Grid and martingale approaches are heavily scrutinized and may be rejected if they violate our risk frameworks.
News & high-impact events
Can I trade during news releases? →
Yes, you may trade around macroeconomic news events, subject to the behavior of our liquidity providers. However, strategies that rely solely on exploiting slippage, delayed feeds, or off-market pricing are prohibited and may result in account closure.
Copy trading & EAs
Is copy trading allowed? →
Copy trading and EAs are allowed as long as: (1) the strategy is not sourced from another funded account, (2) it does not replicate trades from signal groups that violate broker terms, and (3) it does not generate toxic flow or clear arbitrage behavior.
What is considered prohibited behavior? →
Any activity that attempts to exploit latency, off-market pricing, platform glitches, or violates our liquidity relationships – including tick scalping, tick arbitrage, risk-free hedging between accounts, and other forms of toxic order flow – is strictly prohibited.
