Your journey starts with an assessment - a structured test of your ability to generate returns within defined risk parameters. Configure your setup, pay the fee, and start trading immediately.

Choose Your Parameters

After navigating to the Start Assessment page, you’ll choose two things, plus one optional add-on:
1

Account Size

Choose your initial funding per Assessment: $5k–$200k for Tight, Low or Medium risk.
2

Risk Tier

Pick Tight, Low, or Medium risk. Each tier has a different risk profile. High risk is sold only through limited Editions.
3

Profit Split Add-On

Optional: turn on the 90/10 profit split to keep 90% of your funded profits instead of 80%.

Free Demo

New to prop trading? Start a free demo from the Start Assessment page. It’s a virtual $100,000 account with all markets and the Low risk rules (10% target, 3% daily loss, 6% max drawdown). No wallet or payment needed. Demo profits aren’t payable and a demo never becomes a funded account. You can run one demo at a time and start a new one every 24 hours.

Markets

Every new assessment includes all markets in a single account: crypto perpetuals plus equity, ETF, commodity, index, and FX perpetuals. See Markets for the current list.
All pairs and pricing are sourced from Hyperliquid market data. The full list of available instruments is visible on your dashboard and may evolve as markets are added or removed.

Risk Tiers

Four risk tiers let you choose how tightly you want to manage drawdown. Tight Risk has a 9% profit target; the other tiers use a 10% target. Max leverage is set per symbol; see Markets.

Tight Risk

3% DD, 3% MD. The tightest drawdown limits, paired with a 9% profit target.

Low Risk

3% DD, 6% MD. Narrow drawdown limits for measured, consistent traders.

Medium Risk

4% DD, 7% MD. Moderate drawdown limits for traders running larger swings or needing wider stops.

High Risk

5% DD, 8% MD. The widest band, sold only through limited Edition releases.
High Risk availability. High Risk is not on general sale. It is sold only through limited Edition releases, shown on the Start Assessment page with their fee, stock and end date. Anyone can buy one while it is on sale, within the usual account limits.

Assessment Configurations

Fees are one-time and non-refundable. Payment is in USDC. Full per-tier fee schedules are in the Rulebook.

Profit Split Add-On

The 90/10 profit split add-on raises your share of funded profits from 80% to 90%. Turn on Upgrade to a 90/10 profit split when you configure your assessment. The order summary shows the add-on as its own line.
Choose the add-on when you buy. The split applies to that assessment and the funded account it becomes.
During a limited-time offer, new purchases get the 90/10 split for free. The add-on shows as Free and stays on, and the split carries over to the funded account.
