Know what actually passes
Check the profit target, required trading days, consistency or best-day rules, and whether positions must be closed before an objective is recognised.
TCH / FUNDED TRADER HUB
Pass the rules.
Build to keep it.
A funded-trader evaluation is not only a profit target. It is a rule-management exercise. TCH helps you translate the provider's limits into a process you can understand, plan and review before you commit to an account.
Provider information checked 3 October 2026. Rules, prices, availability and payout/reward terms can change.

01 / UNDERSTAND THE MODEL
Funding starts with rules.
The industry uses terms such as challenge, funded account and instant funding, but the legal and trading structure differs by provider. Some programmes use simulated accounts throughout. Always read the current agreement and rulebook rather than relying on a social-media summary.

Know what actually breaches
Daily loss and maximum loss can be calculated differently across programmes. Open P/L, commissions, swaps, reset times and trailing floors can matter.
Know what actually qualifies
Reaching profit is not always the same as payout eligibility. Check waiting periods, profitable-day rules, consistency, KYC, conduct reviews and other conditions.
02 / DRAWDOWN VISUAL
Static and trailing are not the same.
These simplified diagrams explain the concept only. Each provider may calculate drawdown differently, so always check the provider dashboard and rulebook for the live breach level.
Static maximum loss
The loss floor stays fixed at the starting reference level. It does not rise as performance rises.
✓ Fixed from the start✓ Does not move up with profits
Trailing maximum loss
The loss floor can move up as balance or equity rises, until the provider says it stops or locks.
✓ Can rise as performance rises✓ Rules differ by provider

03 / BEFORE YOU BUY
The TCH funded-account checklist.

Translate percentages into money.
Enter the figures from the exact programme you are considering. The planner does not recommend a risk percentage — the risk field is your own chosen planning input.
Illustrative planning only. Real breach calculations may use equity, balance, floating P/L, commissions, swaps, daily reset rules or a trailing reference. Never use this calculator instead of the provider's live metrics.

05 / AFTER PASSING
Passing is a milestone.
Protection is the process.
A challenge pass is useful evidence, but the next phase can have its own rules. Keep reviewing compliance, risk, execution quality and any payout/reward conditions instead of treating the pass as permission to increase risk.
Protect
Know the current daily and overall floor before every session. The provider's live metric is the authoritative figure.
Record
Journal rule adherence, not only P/L. A profitable day can still reveal poor process or a rule-management weakness.
Review
Use TCH Results to record challenge passes, funded-account milestones, payouts/rewards and development milestones with evidence and context.
THE CONSISTENCY HUB
The goal is not simply to pass a challenge. It is to build a process capable of keeping the account.
Funded-trader programmes involve fees, rules and the risk of losing access to an account. Trading itself can result in losses. TCH content is educational and is not personalised financial advice or a guarantee of performance.
