Funded Trading Account

Advantages of using a Funded Trading Account

The Trading Pit offers a variety of CFD and Futures trading challenges designed to help traders demonstrate their skills, manage risk effectively, and ultimately earn funded accounts. Each challenge type provides a unique balance of profit targets, drawdown limits, and scaling opportunities, making it possible for both new and experienced traders to find a suitable path toward professional growth. Key options include:

1. Prime CFD Challenge (1-Phase Evaluation):

• Account Balance: $50,000 (with options as low as $10,000 and as high as $100,000)

• Profit Target: 10%

• Drawdowns: Daily drawdown capped at 4% (balance-based), with a 7% static maximum drawdown

• Minimum Days: 5

• Profit Share: 80%

• Price: $349 (prices vary by account size)
  This challenge rewards consistent performance by allowing payouts every two weeks (once $100 is earned) and offers the potential to scale the account by 25% after meeting specific conditions, incentivizing steady, disciplined growth.

2. Classic CFD Challenge (1-Phase Evaluation):

• Account Balance: $50,000 (other sizes: $10k, $20k, $100k)

• Profit Target: 10%

• Drawdowns: Daily drawdown is 4% (equity-based), maximum drawdown trails the highest equity at 7%

• Minimum Days: 5

• Profit Share: 60%–80%

• Price: $399 (prices vary)
  Like the Prime CFD Challenge, the Classic model emphasizes controlled drawdowns and quick progress, but scaling and payouts only become available after hitting the initial profit target.

3. Prime CFD Challenge (2-Phase Evaluation with Extended Drawdowns):

• Account Balance: $50,000 (other sizes available)

• Profit Targets: 8% in Phase 1, then 5% in Phase 2

• Drawdowns: Daily drawdown at 5% (balance-based), maximum static drawdown at 10%

• Minimum Days: 5

• Profit Share: 80%

• Price: $349 (varies with account size)
  This two-phase approach offers a more forgiving drawdown structure, giving traders the flexibility to recover from setbacks. By splitting the evaluation into two stages with progressively lower profit targets, traders can refine their strategies at a manageable pace.

4. Prime Futures Challenge (1-Phase Evaluation):

• Account Balances: $50,000, $100,000, or $150,000

• Profit Targets: $3,000–$9,000 depending on chosen size

• Drawdowns: Daily and maximum drawdowns scale with account size

• Profit Share: 80%

• Price: Starting at $99 for $50,000

With flexible contract sizes, leverage, and profit targets, this futures-focused challenge encourages gradual growth. The scaling plan enables traders to increase their contract limits as their profits rise, promoting long-term skill development.

5. Classic Futures Challenge (1-Phase or 2-Phase):

• Account Balances: $20,000 to $250,000

• Profit Targets: $1,000–$5,000 depending on account size

• Drawdowns: Conservative daily and maximum drawdowns aligned with experience level

• Profit Share: Up to 80%

• Price: Starts at $99 for $20,000
  This challenge combines structured milestones, scaling opportunities, and disciplined risk management. Traders hit targets, earn payouts, and unlock larger contract sizes as they progress.

6. CFD Mini Challenge:

• Account Balance: $5,000

• Profit Target: 10% ($500) with a high 50% maximum drawdown

• Leverage: 1:50

• Price: $9
  Designed for newcomers or those wanting a low-risk environment, the Mini Challenge offers unlimited duration and a one-time purchase limit. Successful traders earn a $50 voucher toward future challenges—an ideal stepping stone to more advanced opportunities.
