Frequently Asked Questions
Smart Funded Trader is a proprietary trading firm seeking experienced traders to participate in our 2-Stage evaluation process and potentially become a funded trader. Upon successfully completing the evaluation, traders can remotely manage funds and grow their account through our scaling plan. As a Smart Funded Trader, you can retain 80% of the profits you generate, while any losses incurred will be covered by our company.
The Smart Funded Trader Challenge involves a two-stage assessment procedure that offers funded traders an 80% profit split, allowing them to retain 80% of their earnings once they are funded by us. Traders have an unrestricted number of days to complete both phases of the evaluation process, which have specific regulations and goals that must be met and followed to successfully pass the challenge and receive a Smart Funded Trader funded account.
For comprehensive information on the Smart Funded Trader Challenge, please visit our Knowledge Center.
Individuals must be at least 18 years old to participate in Smart Funded Trader. However, we regret to inform you that we cannot extend our services to traders living in the following countries: Cuba, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, North Korea, Libya, Sudan, and Somalia, due to constraints with our payment exchange accounts.
Certainly, our traders have the option to hold active funded accounts with a starting balance of up to 400K. It is possible to merge Smart Funded Trader funded accounts, provided that the accounts being merged have balances equal to their respective starting balances.
We currently offer traders to use MT4 (MetaTrader 4) and MT5 (MetaTrader 5).
Provided that a trader completes Stage 1 in profit and without violating any loss rules while trading for the minimum required duration, they will qualify for a retry. Likewise, if the trader ends Stage 2 in profit without breaking any loss rules and trades for the minimum required duration, they will qualify for a retry as well, but they will have to restart from Stage 1.
No other circumstances allow for retries. If the trader fails to complete their retry attempt, they will have to buy a new evaluation account.
We allow trading of any instrument available on your trading platform. This typically includes forex, commodities, indices and crypto.
All accounts offer 1:100 leverage on forex pairs. The following is the leverage on other instruments:
- Gold & Commodities 1:40
- Indices 1:20
- Crypto 1:2
Yes, those who end Phase 1 or 2 above or at their initial balance, trade a minimum of 3 days, and do not breach the daily or max drawdown rules are eligible for one free retry at Phase 1.
Typically, orders are processed immediately upon purchase completion. However, if you have not received your account credentials after 24 hours, please reach out to our support team through our live chat or via email at support@smartfundedtrader.com.
