This is a category that we strive to be transparent on here at PFC, and the short answer is no. Traditional prop firms within the forex industry operate under a different model than standard proprietary funding firms that you would typically encounter on Wall Street. Traders that sign up for traditional forex prop firms are not provided with real capital in their MT4/MT5 accounts.
When a trader reaches the “Funded trader” stage, they are trading a simulated/demo stage in which they are rewarded commissions for, in exchange for positive performance during this level of the program aligned with the program rules.
While performance commission is paid to a paper trader during the “Funded trader” stage, the trade data of experienced traders can be monetized and utilized for further benefit by copy trading the data into the firms very own fund. This allows the trader to provide an offering as a “data analyst” to the firm, allowing them to be eligible for commission payouts of 50%, 75%, or 90% while providing such services to us, the numbers will change based on the value of each traders trading data, determined by performance and regular commission payouts.
Our entity PFC does not conduct live trading and is simply meant to be an “evaluator”, and opens the door to commission eligible paper trading accounts to traders providing simulated service as data analysts.
Market conditions are provided by a 3rd party price provider FXT, in which traders can utilize to grow, learn, and earn commission based on their performance after passing the evaluation stage and leveling up to be an “Funded trader”. Please note that any reference to a “funded” stage is a funded paper trading account with simulated live conditions.
Forex prop firms are usually created under the basis of gamifying trading through a software which rewards traders under simulated market conditions, albeit a similar concept as the real market with amplified potential reward.
Payout 1: You can request for your first payout after 21 calendar days from the first trading day on your Funded trader account. Performance Commission: 50%
Payout 2: After your first payout, your simulated account will be reset. You can proceed with trading and become eligible for your second payout 21 days later. Performance Commission: 75%
Payout 3: Once the third payout is reached, your simulated account will be reset once more. You now have access to 14 days payouts for your simulated performance. Performance Commission: Up to 90%
If your account is in drawdown after the timeframe, you can simply continue trading your account until you are eligible.
All payouts are performance commission while trading a simulated market environment. There is a minimum of $500 profit to request for a payout.
All payouts are processed through Cryptocurrency and Bank Wire Transfer.
When traders are eligible for commission payouts on their simulated “Funded trader” account, they will have the option to receive performance commission payouts on USD-T (TRC-20 Network).
Payouts are reviewed and sent to the trader within 1-5 full business days of the request, please be mindful that weekends and holidays would not be a part of the processing time. Transaction Fees are borne by the receiver.
The maximum amount of Funded Capital that a trader can unlock during the Funded trader stage is currently $1,000,000. Our largest challenge size is currently 500k, traders may acquire multiple Challenge, however you must not exceed $1M in active funded accounts.
While there are no restrictions on the number of trading accounts you can hold, we do impose a maximum simulated capital allocation of US$1,000,000 per trader or strategy at any given time. These limits serve to promote diversification and mitigate risk, as we aim to avoid overallocation of resources to a single trader or strategy.
*Please refrain from creating multiple accounts via different registrations, as this practice is prohibited. If we identify identical trading strategies being used across multiple accounts, which result in a cumulative allocated capital value exceeding $1,000,000, PFC reserves the right to suspend these accounts in line with our Terms and Conditions.
We do not require the use of a SL on any of our programs. Of course we recommend you use them as it can allow you to manage risk on virtual funds, but there is no rule requiring it.
At this time, there are no restrictions towards this trading strategy during the Challenge phase.
The profit target during the 2-Steps Challenge is a 8% from the starting balance of the account for both steps.
For example, if the starting balance is $100,000, your profit target is $8,000. There is no profit target during the Funded trader stage.
All of your positions needs to be closed before you can request for a payout. Once a payout is requested, your account will be placed into the status of “In Review”, this can be visible on your dashboard. During this time, please refrain from taking any further trades until your commission payout is completed and or finished with the necessary review process.
Base leverage on all simulated accounts are set at the following with FXT, during the evaluation as well as the experienced trader stage.
Please have a close look at the contract sizing provided by the price provider before beginning the program, as different instruments will carry different levels of margin on all paper trading accounts.
– FX: 1:100
– Commodities : 1:30
– Indices : 1:20
– Crypto : 1:10
Hedging a position on your own account is allowed. However, you are not allowed to hedge between accounts, such as using 2 trading accounts to open opposing trades on the same instruments with a similar lot size at the same time.
1.) The first thing to note, it that require our traders participate in 5 minimum trading days for each withdrawal. Notably, executing low lot positions or employing placeholder trades of short duration falls short of meeting the criteria for a valid trading day during the funded stage. The process is straightforward: Trade according to your normal strategy for 5 separate days.
2.) Lot Size Consistency Range Rule (HFT Passers Only)
Your average trade size calculated at the time of your payout review is used to calculate a trading range. The range is determined by adding 100% to your average trade size to determine the maximum value and subtracting 75% to determine the minimum value. If your average trade size was 20 Lots. This means that any trades that fall within the range of 5 to 40 lots would be considered consistent with your strategy.
Trades that are inconsistent with the trading range are subject to review/deduction from total profit split. The lot size consistency range calculation is determined by all closed orders on an account from the first trade into the requested withdrawal date. Your average trade is a final number which is calculated once a payout is requested.
To calculate your average, divide the total lot volume traded throughout the period by the total number of closed orders. After finding your average, simply multiply by 0.25 and 2.00 to find the bottom and top of your consistency range. Please note that partial orders will be treated as separate orders for the consistency calculation, as the metric is based on closed orders. The consistency calculation occurs during the time of your payout request. The consistency rule applies to the funded stage, only being applicable to traders who pass the challenge via HFT bots.
Lot Size Consistency Range Calculation:
The reason for the consistency rule is due to allowing HFT bots during the evaluation stage. This is a way for us as a prop firm to manage up-front risk of such systems while providing the trader with a specific blueprint to follow during the experienced trader stage.
To avoid any confusion, the lot size consistency range only applies to traders who utilize HFT to pass the evaluation stage, due to such systems possessing the ability to access the experienced trader stage at exceedingly high rates.
Being that the success rate is higher than usual with these systems, it is required for us a prop firm to enable this type of rule to manage risk.
If a trader utilizes HFT during the evaluation stage at any point in order to assist with passing, the funded account profit split will reach its limit once a trader has gained 6% from the starting balance of the account. Any positive trading after the 6% gain from the initial balance will not be eligible towards your profit split. Gaining beyond 6% will not break any rules, however these virtual profits would not be included if you have passed with HFT.
For example, if you trade continuously for up to $12,000 profit on a 200k account. The profit split will be based on any virtual profits generated up to this point. You would receive 50%, 75%, or 90% of the numeric value ($12,000 in this case) of the 6% profit on your funded account starting balance.
The 6% maximum gain per payout applies based on the starting balance of the account, and resets after each payout.
This has been introduced to maintain longevity while accessing the community feedback of keeping HFT around for the long term. This allows HFT passers to regularly receive payouts without issues and prevents traders from being prone to attempting high risk activities such as full margining before news or shooting for the moon with gambling-like approaches. Giving traders the sole focus of consistent payouts leads to higher quality trade data for us to access. Longevity is our focus.
Although we enforce no restrictions during the evaluation stage, using the following strategies/approaches during the Funded trader stage is prohibited and will be subject to review:
We want to be as open as possible when it comes to the trading styles that you can use while undertaking the program. The strategies above are prohibited during the experienced trader stage as they either cannot be replicated into the live market (Toxic data in the event that we send your orders offshore for potential data monetization), thrives on demo conditions only, or because they are designed to game the system.
In the PFC Challenge and Funded stage, you can trade freely during all news releases.
In the PFC Challenge account, you don’t have to.
However, once you become a verified PFC Trader and get a Funded Account, we require you to inform us of any trades that you intend to hold over the week end, otherwise you have to close your positions just before the markets close for the weekend or if the rollover (market break) is longer than 2 hours. Our PFC Traders having the Funded Account must respect the market timings. Every asset class and its respective instruments might have different trading hours that have to be adhered to.
Standard market hours are visible in the trading platforms and at our Symbols site, however, trading hours are routinely subject to changes based on major holidays or other events. All changes to standard market hours are announced in the Trading Updates section and we highly recommend visiting this page regularly.
In MetaTrader, when you open the Market Watch (Ctrl+M), right-click on the instrument of your interest, and choose ‘Specification’. In the dialogue window, scroll down and you can see the ‘Trade’ hours of the subject instrument. These are the standard market hours applicable most days (unless specified otherwise in the Trading Updates).
If you trade cryptocurrencies, some can be traded during specific hours of the weekend as well.
In the Funded Phase, we require the average duration of all your trades to be greater than 2 minutes, you can find this information on your dashboard (“account metrics” page > “insights” tab) To be clear, we understand some trades may have a duration of less than 2 minutes, and this is ok, we simply require the majority of trades and the average duration of all trades to exceed 2 minutes. It is required that at least 50% of your profitable trades come from trades that exceed 2 minutes.
This is in place to prevent Tick scalping and high frequency traders attempting to manipulate our price feed offered in good faith.
Stop loss and take profit orders are not mandatory; however, we strongly recommend using them.
Should you successfully pass our Challenge before meeting the minimum trading days requirement of 5 days, it is imperative to continue trading until this requirement is fulfilled.
We acknowledge the apprehension regarding potential account balance loss; however, it remains essential to engage in a minimum of one trade per day for 5 trading days to satisfy the minimum trading days requirement.
You can trade the following assets:
We have a strict policy against trading strategies that are deemed “all or nothing” and do not accept strategies dependent on this style of trading.

We do not tolerate trades which are deemed to be all or nothing, nor do we accept a strategy which is dependent on this style of trading.

Yes, we do permit the use of VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) and VPS (Virtual Private Servers) in your trading activities. It’s imperative to underscore the importance of safeguarding your account credentials.
