Frequently asked questions

DXtrade, Match-Trader and cTrader, all integrated via GooeyTrade. You choose your platform at checkout.

We use an aggregated source of pricing and liquidity drawn from multiple brokers and liquidity providers. Those providers in turn source from a number of tier-1 banks, prime brokers and market makers, and the underlying mix changes constantly.

Aggregating several providers rather than relying on one gives competitive pricing and execution without a single point of dependence. All market pricing and trade execution comes from the brokers unaltered — we do not widen spreads, add markups or markdowns, or adjust swaps beyond what our brokers set.

The exact composition of liquidity providers can vary by platform.

Raw spreads. Commission is $7 round turn per lot on FX and metals, and $0 on indices, oil and crypto.

No. Stop losses are not required, but we strongly recommend them as part of sensible risk management.

No. The fee is one-time and non-refundable. There are no recurring charges, monthly subscriptions or hidden costs on top of it.

A One-Step Lite $2,500 account at $25.00. That is a genuine funded route rather than a time-limited free trial. See the FX & CFD tracks.

$500,000 on the staged FX & CFD tracks. Crypto, equities and instant funding go up to $100,000.

Yes. Each account size and track is its own product, so you can run several at once and scale up whenever you choose rather than waiting on a scaling schedule.

No — there is no deadline to reach your profit target. The only clock is the inactivity limit: 30 days on staged FX accounts, and 14 days on crypto, equities and instant funding.

A static drawdown is measured from your opening balance and never moves. A trailing drawdown follows your account's high-water mark, so the floor rises as you profit.

FX One-Step uses a trailing drawdown. Two-Step, Three-Step, crypto, equities and instant funding are all static. Full explanation.

On staged FX tracks it is measured on end-of-day balance. On Lite, crypto, equities and instant funding it is an intraday trailing figure, so it is assessed live rather than at the close.

It caps how much of your total profit can come from a single day, so a funded account reflects a repeatable strategy rather than one outsized trade. It is 25% on crypto, 20% on equities and instant funding, and 50% on funded Lite accounts. Lite accounts have no consistency requirement during the evaluation itself.

On staged FX accounts: up to 20:1 on forex and metals, 10:1 on indices, 5:1 on oil and up to 2:1 on crypto. One-Step Lite runs at 30:1 and Two-Step Lite at 100:1. The Double Leverage add-on doubles whichever ceiling applies.

Weekend holding is available as an add-on. Note that only cryptocurrencies actually trade at weekends.

Yes. Your own EAs and algorithms are allowed on every account, with no approval step and no surcharge. What is and is not allowed.

Yes. Strategies that exploit the simulated environment rather than the market — latency arbitrage, tick scalping on stale prices, coordinated group trading across accounts, and similar — are not permitted. Ordinary discretionary and algorithmic trading is fine.

Copying your own strategy across your own accounts is allowed. Coordinated trading across accounts held by different people is not.

80% in the trader's favour as standard, rising to 90% with the profit-share add-on.

Your first withdrawal has no delay. After that, payouts run every 14 days. Full payout terms.
