What are Activation Accounts?
Activation Accounts are a Funded Trading Plus program with a different way of paying: pass now, pay later. You pay $4 to start your challenge. You pay the activation fee only once you pass.
Is it the same as your other challenges?
No. Activation Accounts are their own program with their own rules, and they sit alongside our existing challenges rather than replacing them. The full rules are set out in The Challenge and The Funded Account, and they are worth reading properly rather than assuming they match a program you have traded with us before.
How is it different from paying for a challenge up front?
Our standard challenges are paid in full when you buy them, and they are still available exactly as they were.
Activation Accounts split the cost instead. $4 gets you trading, and the activation fee is only due once you pass and move to a simulated funded account. It suits a trader who would rather commit the larger amount after they have proved the account rather than before.
Both are on the site. Pick whichever suits you.
Is this credit, a loan or an instalment plan?
No. There is no credit agreement, no lender, no interest and no repayment schedule. There are two separate service fees. You pay the first to start. You pay the second only if you pass. If you do not pass, the second fee never becomes due.
What account sizes can I choose from?
Four: $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000
Which platforms can I trade on?
MT5 and Match-Trader.
When does my challenge start?
Your challenge begins when your account is issued. There is no time limit, so there is no penalty for taking your time before your first trade.
Is this a real money account?
No. All trading activity takes place in a simulated environment using virtual funds. No real trading capital is provided or traded. Traders are compensated based on simulated profits in accordance with challenge Terms and Conditions.
