How FundedEdge Works
Two ways to trade with us: prove your edge in an evaluation challenge, or deposit USDT and access live markets with full wallet transparency. Live Trading is our most direct path — your money, market routing, nothing hidden.
The big picture
Whether you start with a challenge or live trading, everything runs through one dashboard with the same support, security, and payout tools.
Create your account
Sign up in minutes, verify your email, and choose whether you want to prove skills through a challenge or trade live with your own capital.
Pick your path
Evaluation challenges simulate funded trading with clear rules and profit targets. Live Trading connects your balance to real market execution through our infrastructure.
Trade with transparency
Track performance, risk limits, and balances in your dashboard. Request payouts or withdrawals when you are eligible — with a full transaction history.
Evaluation Challenges
Pay a one-time fee, trade simulated capital, and earn a funded account if you pass risk and profit rules. Ideal for traders building a track record.

Deposit USDT, allocate to the terminal, and trade through our market routing layer. We do not hold your funds in a closed loop — you are connected to the market with a visible wallet and withdrawal path.
Read live trading guideHow evaluation challenges work
Structured evaluations with fixed rules, simulated buying power, and a path to funded accounts with profit splits — no deposit required to start.
Choose a challenge plan
Select a 1-step or 2-step evaluation and account size ($10k–$100k). Pay a one-time fee and receive credentials quickly after checkout.
Trade the evaluation
Use the web terminal with real market data in a simulated environment. Hit the profit target while staying inside max daily loss and overall drawdown limits.
Pass verification
If you pass, your account moves to funded status. Two-step plans require completing Phase 1 before Phase 2, then verification before funding.
Earn on funded performance
Trade the funded account under program rules and request payouts on approved profit splits — up to 80% depending on your plan.
What to expect
Simulated capital, real discipline
Challenges use simulated buying power so you can demonstrate consistency without depositing trading capital. Rules mirror professional risk standards used by prop desks.
Clear objectives on every plan
Each challenge shows profit target, max daily loss, max drawdown, minimum trading days, and allowed instruments before you purchase — no hidden conditions.
Instant delivery
Most traders receive login credentials within minutes of payment. Your dashboard tracks balance, P&L, violations, and phase progress in real time.
Scale after funding
Successful traders can scale account size over time based on performance and program eligibility, with certificates and payout history in one place.
Challenge rules are enforced automatically
Daily loss, max drawdown, and phase objectives are monitored in real time. If you breach a rule, the evaluation ends and you can restart with a new purchase. Funded accounts follow the same risk framework so payouts stay sustainable.
How live trading works — and why it is the most transparent option
Live Trading is for traders who want direct market access with their own capital. FundedEdge sits in the middle: we provide the wallet, terminal, compliance, and routing — we are not holding your money offline or trading against you in secret.
Open your live wallet
Complete onboarding and KYC, then deposit USDT (TRC-20). Your wallet balance is yours — FundedEdge does not treat it as company revenue.
Allocate to the terminal
Move funds from your wallet to your live trading balance when you are ready to trade. You control deposits and how much you allocate.
We route you to the market
Orders are sent through our execution layer to liquidity providers and market infrastructure. We act as the middleman — not a black box holding your money offline.
Withdraw on your schedule
Close positions, return balance to your wallet, and withdraw USDT to your address. Status and history are visible at every step.
Middleman to the market — not a black box
When you trade live, orders flow through our execution infrastructure to connected liquidity and market venues. You do not have unlimited manual control over fills — and that is by design. Real markets set prices; we route your orders and show you the result. Your wallet balance, deposits, and withdrawals remain visible at all times so you can verify we are not withholding your funds.
Deposits arrive on-chain (TRC-20 USDT). Withdrawals return to your address after verification. Trading balance reflects market P&L — not arbitrary platform adjustments.
Why Live Trading is our most transparent product
You fund your own account, see every deposit and withdrawal, and trade through infrastructure connected to the market. There is no evaluation narrative — just your capital, your trades, and auditable flows.
We are the middleman, not the counterparty
FundedEdge provides the platform, routing, and compliance layer between you and market access. We are not betting against you or locking funds in an opaque internal ledger.
Limited platform control by design
You choose size and timing, but execution follows real market conditions and broker rules. That separation is intentional — it proves flows are tied to actual market activity rather than manual adjustments.
Separation of wallet and trading balance
Funds sit in your wallet until you allocate them to trade. Unused balance stays withdrawable. Trading balance reflects open risk and closed P&L from the terminal.
Verification protects withdrawals
Email and security checks on withdrawals protect your account — not to delay your money, but to ensure only you can move it out.
Challenge vs Live Trading
Both products live in one platform. Choose based on whether you want to prove skill first or trade with your own capital immediately.
