Getting Started
What is TradersFuel?+
TradersFuel is a prop trading firm. We give skilled traders access to up to $250,000 in funded trading capital. You prove your skill by passing a challenge, and we share up to 100% of the profits with you. We cover Forex, Futures, and Crypto.
How does prop trading work?+
You buy a challenge (one-time fee). Hit the profit target while staying within the drawdown rules. Once passed, you trade live funded capital. We share profits — you keep 80% by default, up to 100% with the Pro Pack. Payouts arrive within 48 hours of request.
What's the cheapest way to get started?+
Our $5,000 Standard challenge with the FUEL80 coupon brings the entry price to just $20. That's the lowest entry point in the industry — and the rules are the same as our $250K accounts.
What countries do you accept?+
We accept traders from 180+ countries. Restrictions apply where required by law (US sanctioned countries, OFAC list). Check our Terms for the full list.
How fast do I start trading after payment?+
Trading credentials are emailed within 15 minutes of payment confirmation. For Instant accounts, you trade live capital immediately. For Standard/Pro, you start on Phase 1 of the evaluation.
Challenges & Rules
What's the difference between Standard, Pro, and Instant?+
Standard — Two phases (8% → 5% targets). 4% daily / 8% max drawdown. Cheapest option.
Pro — Two phases with lighter targets (6% → 4%). 3% daily / 6% max drawdown. For traders who prefer tighter risk.
Instant — No phases, no targets. Trade live funded capital from day one. 2% daily / 4% max drawdown.
Pro — Two phases with lighter targets (6% → 4%). 3% daily / 6% max drawdown. For traders who prefer tighter risk.
Instant — No phases, no targets. Trade live funded capital from day one. 2% daily / 4% max drawdown.
What account sizes do you offer?+
$5K, $15K, $50K, and $250K starting accounts. Successfully scale through performance up to $750K on our scaling plan.
Is there a time limit to pass?+
No time limit. Take as long as you need. We don't believe in artificial deadlines — they only push traders into bad decisions.
Is there a minimum trading days requirement?+
No. Trade when conditions are right. We don't punish patience.
What's the consistency rule?+
No single trading day may produce more than 50% of your total profit. This protects against single-day flukes but doesn't punish steady profitability.
Can I trade news?+
News trading is allowed with the Pro Pack add-on. Without Pro Pack, trades opened within 2 minutes of high-impact news are voided.
Can I hold over the weekend?+
Weekend holding is allowed with the Pro Pack add-on. Without Pro Pack, all positions must close before Friday market close.
Can I use EAs or copy trading?+
EAs and algorithmic trading are allowed with the Pro Pack add-on. Copy trading between accounts is prohibited on all plans.
What happens if I breach a rule?+
The challenge ends. You can immediately purchase a new challenge — no penalty, no waiting period. Drawdown breaches close the account; soft-rule breaches (news, weekend) may void specific trades only.
Payouts & Profit Split
What's my profit split?+
80% by default. 100% with the Pro Pack add-on. You keep your share for life of the account.
When can I request my first payout?+
After your first 14 trading days on a funded account. After that, payouts are on-demand.
How fast do payouts arrive?+
Within 48 hours of request. Crypto withdrawals typically arrive within hours, bank wires within 48 hours.
What's the minimum payout?+
$100 minimum.
How can I receive payouts?+
Crypto (USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH and more), bank wire, or Wise transfer. Crypto is the fastest.
Are payouts subject to tax?+
Yes, payouts may be taxable income depending on your jurisdiction. We don't withhold tax — you're responsible for reporting earnings in your country.
Trading Platforms
Which platforms do you support?+
Four platforms: MatchTrader, cTrader, VolumetricaFX, and MetaTrader 5 (MT5). Pick your favorite at checkout — no upcharge.
What's VolumetricaFX?+
VolumetricaFX is an advanced order-flow and footprint charting platform — popular with serious Futures and Forex traders. We're one of the few prop firms that supports it.
Can I switch platforms after starting?+
No, platform is locked once your challenge starts. Choose carefully at checkout.
What leverage do you offer?+
Choose from 1:30, 1:50, 1:100, or 1:200. Set at checkout, locked for the challenge.
Are spreads competitive?+
Yes — we use institutional liquidity providers. Forex majors from 0.1 pips, futures with raw exchange spreads, crypto with tight maker-taker fees.
Pricing & Coupons
How does the FUEL80 coupon work?+
FUEL80 takes 80% off any challenge — but it's limited to the first 1,000 traders. After that, prices return to standard ($100-$500). Stack with Pro Pack for the strongest deal of any prop firm.
What payment methods do you accept?+
100+ cryptocurrencies via NowPayments — BTC, ETH, USDT (all networks), USDC, BNB, SOL, and many more. Card and bank options coming soon.
Is the challenge fee refundable?+
Yes — the challenge fee is refunded with your first payout when you pass and request your first withdrawal. See Refund Policy for details.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?+
Within 24 hours of purchase, if you haven't logged into the trading platform, yes. After that, no — we've already provisioned account capital. See Refund Policy.
Are there any hidden fees?+
No. The challenge fee is the only fee. No monthly subscription, no platform fee, no payout fee.
Account & Support
How do I log into my dashboard?+
Use the Trader Login page. Your account is created automatically after your first paid challenge — credentials are emailed to you within 15 minutes.

Yes — buy as many challenges as you want. Each runs independently with its own rules.
Can I share my account with someone else?+
No. Accounts are strictly personal. Sharing credentials voids the account immediately with no refund.
