Challenges
After purchase, your simulated account is provisioned and your platform login credentials are emailed to you shortly after. You choose your connection at checkout: Rithmic (R|Trader Pro + free ATAS license), DXtrade (browser-based), or Volumetrica — all with real-time market data included.
Updated
Here's what happens between checkout and your first trade.
Provisioning
After your purchase, your simulated trading account is provisioned and your platform login credentials are emailed to you shortly after purchase — most accounts are issued near-immediately during standard business hours. If you haven't received your credentials within the hour, contact support@trade-sport.com so we can look into it.
Note: once your account has been provisioned, entry and reset fees are non-refundable — see our Terms of Service and Prop Account, LLC's Client Terms and Policies.
Your connection choices
You pick your platform connection at checkout:
- Rithmic — trade on R|Trader Pro, with a free ATAS license included. Rithmic-compatible third-party platforms (such as Quantower, Sierra Chart, and Bookmap) are known to work but are used at your own discretion — support is limited to R|Trader Pro and ATAS.
- DXtrade — runs entirely in your browser with nothing to download, powered by DXfeed market data. The simplest way to get trading on any device.
- Volumetrica — a professional trading platform with advanced order-flow tools, with market data powered by DXfeed.
Real-time market data is included with every connection — no separate data subscription needed.
What you can trade
Your account has access to futures across CME, CBOT, COMEX, and NYMEX: equity index futures and their micros, FX futures, metals, energies, agriculturals, and micro Bitcoin/Ether futures. Position limits depend on your tier (3/6/9 minis or 30/60/90 micros). Commissions run $0.46–$2.90 per side by product, deducted from your account balance at fill time — the full schedule is published on the How It Works page.
One flow difference by format
- One-Phase: your funded account is what gets provisioned — you're trading for payouts immediately.
- Two-Phase: your eval account is provisioned first; when you pass, you complete identity verification (KYC) and sign the Trader Agreement with Prop Account LC, and your funded account is issued at no additional charge.

- Are challenges real money or simulated?Challenge accounts use simulated (virtual) funds against real-time market data — none of your capital is at risk beyond the fees you pay. The payouts, however, are real cash: you keep 90% of every payout, issued by Prop Account, LLC and disbursed via Rise, typically within 24–48 hours of request.
- Can I run multiple challenges at once?Yes — you can hold up to $1,000,000 in combined active simulated accounts at a time, in any mix of formats and tiers (roughly 20 × $50K accounts). Purchases above the limit wait on hold and activate when a slot opens. One user profile per person.
- Challenge payout amountsEvery challenge account pays out exactly 5 times, then closes. One-Phase pays $1,500–$3,000 per payout by tier with lifetime caps of $9,000–$19,000. Two-Phase milestones range from $500 to a $9,000 final cap with lifetime caps of $6,500–$20,500. You keep 90% of every payout.
- Challenge resets: how they workChallenge resets are unlimited and cost the same as your tier's entry fee. Each reset is a brand-new account with a new account ID — the old account stays closed. Two-Phase resets always start back in the evaluation phase.
- Challenge vs. Trade League: what's the difference?Challenges are individual funded-account products with no timer and published payout amounts — payouts 1–4 are fixed dollar amounts and the 5th pays up to a published cap. Trade League is a monthly ranked tournament where everyone trades an identical $50,000 account and the top 10% of paid entries share a revenue-share pool.
