5. OUR SERVICES
a) What We Do
ProFunded is a proprietary trading firm offering traders the opportunity to demonstrate their skills through simulated trading challenges.
Successful participants gain access to demo-funded accounts and can earn up to 90% of the profits generated in the simulated environment.
b) How to Join
Traders must select a challenge level from the ProFunded Trading Challenge (PFTC), pay the applicable fee, and begin the evaluation process.
Passing the Evaluation and Verification phases leads to access to a Live (simulated) account.
Each challenge has specific features, capital levels, and rules, detailed on our website and in this Agreement.
c) Trading Currencies
You may trade Forex, Indices, Crypto, and Commodities, with market access updated regularly.
d) Trading Platforms We Use
Trading occurs on third-party platforms. Their own terms and privacy policies apply. ProFunded reserves the right to suspend services for users exhibiting unreasonable behavior or forbidden trading practices.
e) Important:
All trades are simulated. ProFunded does not facilitate real trades, manage client capital, or accept investor deposits.
f) The Services are for skills evaluation and education only. No financial returns are guaranteed or implied.
6. ACCOUNT CREATION / REGISTRATION
a) When registering, you must provide accurate personal data, including full name, email, address, contact number, date of birth, and create a secure login.
Each user may only create one account per challenge level, unless authorized.
You are responsible for all activity under your account and must notify ProFunded immediately of any unauthorized use.
b) Keep your profile information up to date. Inaccurate or outdated information is your responsibility, and ProFunded is not required to verify it.
7. PROFUNDED TRADING CHALLENGE (PFTC)
a) The ProFunded Trading Challenge (PFTC) is a multi-stage evaluation process that identifies talented traders. It allows participants to showcase their skills through a demo-based system and, upon success, gain access to larger simulated trading capital and educational resources via the ProFunded Academy.
b) Completing the PFTC enables traders to manage demo-funded accounts with capital up to $500,000, and scale up to $2,000,000 through consistent performance. All traders receive educational support, coaching, and learning tools throughout the process.
8. EVALUATION PROCESS (PFTC)
a) Evaluation Phase:
The first step is the Evaluation, where traders must demonstrate skill and follow all Trading Objectives (profit targets, risk limits, etc.). Successful traders move on to the Verification phase.
b) Verification Phase:
This is the final step before accessing a ProFunded Trader Account. Traders must show consistency and skill. Passing this step qualifies them for the Live Account (Demo environment).
c) Becoming a ProFunded Trader:
Upon completion, traders get access to a demo-funded account. They are entitled to keep up to 90% of the profits generated in simulated trades, provided they comply with all trading rules.
d) ScaleUp® (Account Scaling):
Traders can scale accounts by 25% every 3 profitable months (if 10% total profit is achieved).
This process is repeatable up to $2M.
For Instant Funding, accounts can double every time 10% profit is reached, up to $1.6M. No time limits apply, but scaling resets the account.
