Challenges
Every 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.

Every funded challenge account pays out exactly 5 times, then closes. On every payout you receive 90% of the gross amount; TradeSport retains 10%. The gross amount is deducted from your account balance when you withdraw.
One-Phase payouts (gross)
| Tier | Payouts 1–4 (each) | Payout 5 (cap) | Lifetime cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner ($50K) | $1,500 | up to $3,000 | $9,000 |
| Intermediate ($100K) | $2,000 | up to $5,000 | $13,000 |
| Advanced ($150K) | $3,000 | up to $7,000 | $19,000 |
Two-Phase milestone payouts (gross)
| Tier | M1 | M2 | M3 | M4 | M5 (cap) | Lifetime cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner ($50K) | $500 | $1,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 | up to $3,000 | $6,500 |
| Intermediate ($100K) | $1,000 | $2,000 | $2,000 | $2,000 | up to $6,000 | $13,000 |
| Advanced ($150K) | $2,500 | $3,000 | $3,000 | $3,000 | up to $9,000 | $20,500 |
The 5th payout formula
The final payout is the lower of: 50% of your profit above starting balance, or the tier cap. Example: an Advanced One-Phase trader at $159,000 has $9,000 profit above starting; 50% is $4,500, which is below the $7,000 cap, so they receive $4,500 gross ($4,050 after the 90/10 split).
Partial withdrawals (Two-Phase)
You may withdraw less than the published cap at any milestone. The milestone counter still advances, and the unused portion is forfeited — it does not roll forward.
How payouts are paid
Payouts are issued by Prop Account, LLC and disbursed via Rise — typically received within 24–48 hours of request — after one-time identity verification (KYC) and payout review clear. Payouts are available worldwide except in restricted countries (view the restricted country list). Status is shown in your dashboard. After the 5th payout the account closes — buy a new entry to start again.

- 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 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.
- How is my trading account set up after purchase?After purchase, your simulated account is provisioned and your platform login credentials are emailed to you shortly after.
