You trade, and acquire revenue, and 80% of the profit is yours!

Wish to become a prop trader? Complete our two-phase challenge and demonstrate your readiness to manage a significant account!

Complete the demo challenge and receive a real deposit

The challenge involves testing your trading skills on demo accounts. It is divided into two stages, where your goal is to grow the initial amount while keeping the deposit drawdown to a minimum.

We offer 2 tariff plans*. Each plan includes three payment options based on the starting balance. This balance represents the amount on the demo accounts you'll use during the challenge. Upon successful completion, you'll receive the same amount in real funds to manage.
