The questions that decide a funded account.
Ten answers, in the order a trader actually decides: is it real, what do you keep, when are you paid, what are the rules, and what does it cost. Every answer here matches TradeFundrr's own published program rules.

Is the money real, or is it a simulated account?
Funded Growth and Express accounts are simulated. Earned payouts are real. Traders who sustain risk-managed performance can be invited to a real-money seat at T3 Global.
What is the profit split?
80/20. The trader keeps 80% of profits.
How often are payouts processed?
Weekly.
What are the trading rules?
All rules are published before purchase: a trailing maximum drawdown calculated at end of day, which on futures locks at your starting balance after your first payout; a daily loss limit that scales with account size; a 30% consistency rule once funded, meaning no single trading day may exceed 30% of total profit at payout; a minimum 15-second hold; and manual trading only, with no algorithms or automated systems.
Is there a lifetime payout cap?
Yes, and it varies by program. Reaching it opens the path to a T3 Global seat.
What is the difference between Growth and Express?
Growth is a two-stage evaluation. Express is direct funding with no evaluation.
Do I get my fee back?
On Express plans, 100% of the first-month plan fee is rebated on your first qualifying payout. Earning a qualifying payout depends on your trading performance and is not guaranteed.
Which markets can I trade?
Stocks, options, futures and crypto, each traded on a professional, institutional-grade platform with live market data.
Is TradeFundrr a broker-dealer?
No. TradeFundrr is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or financial planner, and does not provide personalised investment advice. T3 Trading Group is an SEC-registered broker-dealer and a FINRA/SIPC member; those registrations apply to T3 Trading Group only, not to T3 Global or to TradeFundrr's simulated accounts.
What are my actual chances?
Most participants do not pass the evaluation or earn a payout, and fees are largely non-refundable. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. We say this plainly because the traders who do earn payouts treat the published rules as a risk framework, not an obstacle: defined risk per trade, and consistency over big swings.
