Funded accounts
A funded trading account, from a prop firm that funds the traders who pass
Trade VaultX's capital instead of your own. Pass a 3 Step, 2 Step and 1 Step evaluation on MetaTrader 5, clear a same-day review, and trade a funded account that pays 80% of profit with payout windows multiple daily. Every rule has a number next to it, and you will find the same number on every page of this site.
What a funded account is
A funded account is a trading account whose capital belongs to a proprietary trading firm and whose profit is shared with the trader who runs it. You pay a one-time fee for an evaluation, prove you can reach a profit target without touching the loss limits, and the firm funds you. From then on you keep 80% of what you make and the firm carries the losses. Your only money at risk is the evaluation fee.
VaultX runs the evaluation on a simulated account with live prices and says so plainly. The funded stage, VaultX Live, mirrors your trades to a brokerage account the firm holds, so payouts come from trading results rather than from the next trader's fee. The how it works page walks through the model; the guide to funded accounts goes deeper.
How to get funded at VaultX
- 1
Pick a route and a size
1 Step, 1 Step Pro, 2 Step, 2 Step Prime, 2 Step Pro and 3 Step. 6 account sizes from $2,500 to $100,000. Pay by card, UPI or crypto; your MetaTrader 5 login arrives within minutes.
- 2
Pass the evaluation
Hit each phase's profit target on closed trades, log the profitable days, and never touch the daily or maximum loss limit. The trading period is unlimited on every route.
- 3
Verify and clear the review
A government ID and a liveness selfie, checked in about 24 hours; then a person reads the evaluation record. It normally clears the same day.
- 4
Trade the funded account
Your funded account starts at 10% of the evaluation size on VaultX Live and scales up to eight times. Request payouts multiple daily, $20 minimum, 80% to you.
Rules by route
Six evaluation routes, one rulebook each. Daily and maximum loss are static percentages of the evaluation size; the funded maximum loss is a share of the funded size. The rules page has every number with its definition.
| Route | Targets | Daily loss | Max loss | Profitable days | Funded max loss | Split | Payouts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Step | 12% | 4% | 8% | 5 profitable days | 45% | 80% | Multiple Daily |
| 1 Step Pro | 12% | 3% | 6% | 5 profitable days | 60% | 80% | Multiple Daily |
| 2 Step | 10% → 5% | 5% | 10% | 5 profitable days | 35% | 80% | Multiple Daily |
| 2 Step Prime | 10% → 5% | 5% | 10% | 5 profitable days | 50% | 80% | Multiple Daily |
| 2 Step Pro | 5% → 8% | 5% | 8% | 5 profitable days | 60% | 80% | Multiple Daily |
| 3 Step | 4% → 5% → 8% | 3% | 8% | 2 / 2 / 3 profitable days | 80% | 80% | Multiple Daily |
What a funded account costs
One fee, paid once. 1 Step accounts cost 1.5 times the 2 and 3 Step fee for the same size. Route discounts are applied at checkout and shown on the pricing section.
A $20,000 evaluation is $200 on a 2 or 3 Step route and $300 on 1 Step before discounts; the funded account it leads to starts at 10% of $20,000 and grows with the scaling plan.
| Account size | 2 & 3 Step fee | 1 Step fee |
|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $30 | $45 |
| $5,000 | $50 | $75 |
| $10,000 | $100 | $150 |
| $20,000 | $200 | $300 |
| $50,000Best value | $500 | $750 |
| $100,000 | $1,000 | $1,500 |
Who a funded account suits
- Traders with a tested strategy and a record of staying inside a daily loss limit.
- Traders with more skill than capital who would rather pay a fee than save for years.
- Traders who want payouts in days, not quarters, and a split they can see in writing.
- Not a fit: anyone without a strategy yet. The evaluation tests discipline, not luck, and a failed fee is a real cost.
