What is TrioFunded?

TrioFunded is a proprietary trading firm that provides skilled traders with access to capital. Traders pass an evaluation process and, if successful, receive a funded trading account with profit-sharing up to 90%.

Is TrioFunded regulated?

TrioFunded itself is not a broker, but it is fully backed by TrioMarkets, a regulated Forex and CFD broker licensed by the FSC in Mauritius.

Is there a subscription or recurring fee?

No. We operate on a one-time challenge fee. If a trader fails the challenge, they may purchase a new one to try again.

What makes TrioFunded different from other prop firms?

We are backed by a regulated broker, offer fast payouts, no recurring fees, and scale traders up to $1,000,000 based purely on performance.

How long does it take to get funded?

Once you pass both phases of the evaluation, your results are reviewed, and your funded account is usually activated within 1–2 business days.

You must be at least 18 years of age, or the applicable minimum legal age in your country, to purchase an assessment.

How does the evaluation process work?

Our funding model includes a 2-step challenge. You must reach defined profit targets without breaching the drawdown rules. Once both steps are passed, you receive a funded account.

Is there a time limit to complete the challenge?

No. There is no deadline to reach your target. However, you must complete at least 10 trading days in each phase.

What happens if I fail the challenge?

If you exceed the drawdown limits or violate the rules, the challenge is considered failed. You can purchase a new challenge and try again.

Can I trade during news or over the weekend?

Yes. News trading and weekend positions are allowed unless otherwise specified based on execution conditions.

What platforms do you support?

We currently support MetaTrader 5. Additional platforms may be added in the future.

What instruments can I trade?

Forex, Indices, Commodities, and Crypto over 150+ instruments are available depending on the account type.

Is copy trading or EA allowed?

Yes. EAs, copy trading, hedging, and discretionary strategies are permitted as long as they are not toxic or exploit platform vulnerabilities.

What is the maximum leverage?

Leverage is up to 1:100 on all accounts.

How do you calculate the Daily Loss Limit?

The Daily Loss Limit is the maximum your account can lose in any given day. Daily Loss Limit is calculated using the previous day balance which resets at 5 PM EST. The Daily Loss limit compounds with the increase in your account. Example: if your prior day's end of day balance (5pm EST) was $100,000, your account would violate the daily loss limit if your equity reached $95,000 during the day. If your floating equity is +$5,000 on a $100,000 account, your new- day (5pm EST) max loss is based on your balance from the previous day ($100,000). So, your daily loss limit would still be $95,000.

How do you calculate the Max Drawdown (STATIC)?

Maximum drawdown is the maximum your account can drawdown before you would hard breach your account. When you open the account, your Maximum Drawdown is set at a defined % of your starting balance. This % is static and does not trail.

How do you calculate the Max Drawdown (TRAILING)?

The Maximum Trailing Drawdown is initially set at a specific % and trails (using CLOSED BALANCE - NOT equity) your account until you have achieved a pre-defined % return in your account. Once you have achieved the % return, the Maximum Trailing Drawdown no longer trails and is permanently locked in at your starting balance. Example: If your starting balance is $100,000, you can drawdown to $94,000 before you would violate the Maximum Trailing Drawdown rule. Then for example let's say you take your account to $102,000 in CLOSED BALANCE. This is your new high-water mark, which would mean your new Maximum Trailing Drawdown would be $96,000. Next, let's say you take your account to $106,000 in CLOSED BALANCE, which would be your new high-watermark. At this point your Maximum Trailing Drawdown would be locked in at your starting balance of $100,000. So, regardless of how high your account goes, you would only breach this rule if your account drew back down to $100,000 (note, you can still violate the daily drawdown). For example, if you take your account to $170,000, as long as you do not drawdown more than 5% in any given day, you would only breach if your account equity reaches $100,000.

Is there a breach for inactivity?

Yes. We will consider you inactive and your account will be breached if you do not have any trading activity on your account for 30 consecutive days.

What is the difference between a Hard Breach and Soft Breach rule?

  • Soft breach means that we will close all trades that have violated the rule. However, you can continue trading in your Assessment or Funded Account.
  • Hard breach means that you violated either the Daily Loss Limit or Max Drawdown rule or the Inactivity rule.
  • Violation of these rules constitute a hard breach. In the event you have a hard breach, you will fail the Assessment or have your Funded Account taken away.

    How does the scaling plan work?

    If you consistently meet performance and risk criteria, your funded account will be reviewed every 3 months for a capital increase.

    What are the scaling steps?

    For example:
    $100K → $200K → $400K → $800K → $1M
    Each increase is performance-based.

    Is retesting required to scale?

    No. Scaling is automatic if you meet the requirements. There is no need to take another challenge.

    How can I become an affiliate?

    Apply through our Affiliate page. Once approved, you’ll receive your dashboard access and tracking links.

    How do I earn commissions?

    You’ll earn a fixed commission for every challenge purchase made through your unique referral link.

    Do I need a website to join?

    No. You can promote via social media, YouTube, Telegram, or any legal channel that complies with our affiliate terms.

    How and when do I get paid?

    Affiliates are paid monthly (or on-demand if eligible) via bank transfer, Skrill, or crypto.

    How can I pay for my challenge?

    We accept credit/debit cards, Skrill, Neteller, and selected cryptocurrencies. More options may be added soon.

    Are challenge fees refundable?

    Challenge fees are non-refundable, as they are used to cover evaluation costs and risk infrastructure.

    What are the available payout methods?
