Real Funded is a proprietary trading firm built with a different philosophy: sustainability, reliability, and long-term trader success.
Created by real traders, Real Funded exists to provide real trading power to individuals who want to make trading a serious and sustainable endeavour. We focus on identifying, supporting, and developing traders with real skill, rather than profiting from trader failure.
If you are a trader looking to break out from the norm, look no further than Real Funded.
All traders begin in a simulated trading environment. This allows us to collect meaningful performance data and identify traders who demonstrate genuine consistency, discipline, and profitability.
All evaluations are simulated accounts, and live accounts often begin within the same simulated environment. Traders who consistently show real promise and strong performance may be invited to transition into a real funded live environment, where trades are executed with real funds and real market exposure.
Real Funded is built to support real traders.
Much of the prop trading industry relies on trader failure as its business model. We take a different approach. We actively want our traders to succeed, so our mission is to identify traders who can perform consistently and support them in progressing towards the real funded live environment.
Our evaluations are designed to uncover genuine trading ability, not to create artificial barriers. Traders who demonstrate consistent, repeatable performance over a minimum of five successful performance intervals may be considered for invitation into a real trading environment.
Real Funded uses TradeLocker as its trading platform.
You can access your TradeLocker login details via your dashboard and the account details email sent at the time of purchase. All accounts initially connect through the TradeLocker demo environment.
You can access the TradeLocker sign-in page here.
Real Funded represents prop trading done the right way.
We focus on building a sustainable, trader-first product that offers fair opportunity, transparent rules, and meaningful progression. Our challenges are intentionally not the easiest in the industry, because our objective is to identify real trading talent capable of operating in a professional environment.
Alongside this, Real Funded offers a highly advanced technology stack. Our dashboard provides deep performance insights, AI-assisted analysis, expert market commentary, and real-time updates designed to give traders the tools they need to understand, refine, and improve their performance.
Everything we build is designed with long-term trader success in mind.
If a trader breaches core rules such as drawdown limits or trading restrictions during an evaluation, the account will be breached and the evaluation will be deemed unsuccessful.
During the funded phase, traders are required to adhere to the trading rules applicable to their specific account type.
Failure to comply with these rules may result in soft breaches, profit deductions, or other corrective actions, depending on the nature and severity of the violation.
Consistency Rule
The consistency rule applies to the evaluation phase only. To successfully complete the evaluation, you must achieve the profit target while complying with the consistency requirement. If the consistency requirement is not met, the evaluation will not pass its review.
The consistency rule is set at 40%, meaning your best trading day must not exceed 40% of the total profit target. For example, if the profit target is $10,000, no single trading day may generate more than $4,000 in profit for the evaluation to be considered successful.
The consistency rule does not apply to the funded phase.
A minimum trading day is defined as a day on which a minimum return of 0.5% is achieved. For the 1-Step Express account, a total of five (5) minimum trading days must be completed. These days do not need to be consecutive.
The minimum trading day requirement applies to both the evaluation phase and the funded phase.
News trading is not permitted on the 1-Step Express account in any phase. This restriction applies to both the evaluation and the funded phase.
Traders are not permitted to open or close positions within five (5) minutes before or after a red-folder (high-impact) news event on an instrument that directly correlates with that news. For example, trading EURUSD during US CPI would be restricted, whereas trading GBPAUD would not be affected.
For speeches or events that span longer durations, traders must not trade for the full duration of the event. The restriction applies from five (5) minutes before the event or speech begins until five (5) minutes after it concludes.
Failure to comply with news trading restrictions may result in evaluation rejection or transfer request denial.
Real Funded operates a strict IP and device access policy to ensure the legitimacy of trading activity. All users, across both evaluation and funded phases, must ensure that their IP address and device are unique to them and do not match those of any other user.
Matching IP or device access may be considered evidence of account management and will be treated as a breach, potentially resulting in account suspension and restriction from future services.
Multiple IP or device changes that indicate suspicious activity may be reviewed by the compliance team and could result in suspension. Trading activity must not cycle across multiple devices or access points.
Traders must notify Real Funded in advance if travelling, as this may result in IP location changes. This is required to prevent unintended IP access violations.
The IP and device used during the evaluation phase must match those used during the funded phase. Changes between phases may result in account suspension.
At Real Funded, traders are free to apply their preferred risk management approach, whether conservative or moderately aggressive, provided all trading rules are followed.
We strongly encourage responsible risk management. Traders who consistently trade in an extreme or reckless manner, including excessive margin usage or an all-in trading approach, may be subject to additional review at Real Funded’s discretion.
All accounts are monitored automatically. Any attempt to exploit demo-server behaviour or engage in non-realistic trading behaviour will result in immediate termination.
Prohibited behaviours include, but are not limited to:
These represent the most common methods used to exploit simulated accounts; however, this list is not exhaustive. Any account identified as using unfair, manipulative, or unrealistic trading strategies will not be permitted to continue using our services.
Traders are not permitted to share or match IP addresses or devices with other users. All activity on a funded account must be conducted solely by the approved account holder and remain unique to them.
A minimum trading day is defined as a day on which a minimum return of 0.5% is achieved. For the 2-Step Classic account, a total of three (3) minimum trading days must be completed. These days do not need to be consecutive.
The minimum trading day requirement applies to both the evaluation and the funded phase.
News trading is permitted on the 2-Step Classic account across all phases, including both the evaluation and the funded phase.
Traders are free to trade during and around news events, provided they comply with exposure limits and do not engage in gambling-style or all-in behaviour. Traders who exploit news events to generate unrealistic or unsustainable results will not be permitted to continue.
Real Funded operates a strict IP and device access policy to ensure the legitimacy of trading activity. All users, across both evaluation and funded phases, must ensure that their IP address and device are unique to them and do not match those of any other user.

The consistency rule applies to both the evaluation phase and the funded phase. To successfully complete the evaluation, you must achieve the profit target in accordance with the consistency requirement. If the consistency requirement is not met, the evaluation will not pass its review. To qualify for a successful transfer request, trading activity must also comply with the consistency requirement.
The consistency rule is set at 30%, meaning your best trading day must not exceed 30% of the total profit target. For example, if the evaluation profit target is $10,000, no single trading day may exceed $3,000 in profit. If your net profit in the funded phase is $2,000, your best trading day must not exceed $600.

Failure to meet the consistency requirement will result in evaluation failure. The same rule applies during the funded phase.

Traders who purchased a Real Funded account prior to 27 January 2026 operate under a different rule set than the current Real Funded V2 structure.
As part of our ongoing innovation and product improvements, account rules have evolved over time. However, Real Funded does not apply retroactive rule changes. This means the rules in place at the time of your purchase remain valid for the lifetime of that account.
If you purchased before 27 January 2026 and your account is still active and unbreached, the rules outlined below apply to you.
The consistency rule applies to the evaluation phase only. To successfully complete the evaluation, traders must achieve the profit target while complying with the consistency requirement.
The consistency threshold is set at 40%, meaning no single trading day may exceed 40% of the total profit target. For example, with a $10,000 profit target, no single day may exceed $4,000 in profit.
The consistency rule does not apply to the funded phase.

Upon approval, payouts are allocated to the Real Funded Wallet and become eligible for withdrawal or use as credit towards additional account purchases.
For accounts purchased prior to 27 January 2026, standard payout availability operates on a daily, on-demand basis across eligible account types.
Promotional accounts, including the $6 Promo and $1K Free Promo, are excluded from standard payout cycles and remain restricted to a single transfer request.
Trading success does not always happen on the first attempt. Traders who do not pass their evaluation may be eligible for a retry discount.

Traders can purchase Real Funded accounts using:
The Trader Agreement can be downloaded, signed, and uploaded directly via the client dashboard.
The agreement must be signed once a funded phase account is issued. Funded accounts cannot be traded until the agreement has been signed and approved.
Attempting to trade before signing the agreement will result in an error message on TradeLocker.
KYC documentation can be uploaded at any time via the dashboard and must be completed and approved before trading a funded phase account.
Funded accounts cannot be traded until KYC verification has been completed.
Attempting to trade before KYC approval will result in an error message on TradeLocker.
Traders may request payouts using the following methods:
Once a transfer request is submitted via the Real Funded Wallet, funds are released within 24 hours following approval.
The time taken for funds to reach the trader will depend on the chosen withdrawal method, as each method has its own processing timeframes.
Once approved, traders will receive an email confirmation confirming that the funds have been released and are being processed via their selected withdrawal method.
Standard payout intervals across eligible account types operate on a 14-calendar-day cycle, meaning traders may submit payout requests every 14 days.
Traders may also opt for on-demand payout options where applicable.
Promotional accounts, including the $6 Promo and $1K Free Promo, are not eligible for the 14-day payout cycle and are restricted to a single transfer request.

Upon approval, the payout is allocated to the Real Funded Wallet, where it becomes eligible for withdrawal or can be used as credit towards additional account purchases.
Traders initiate a payout by submitting a transfer request via the wallet section of their dashboard. Once the transfer request has been approved, traders can withdraw the funds from their wallet using their selected withdrawal method.
The Real Funded Wallet is where profits generated from Real Funded trading accounts are stored. Once a transfer request is successfully approved, trading profits are removed from the trading account and allocated to the wallet.
Funds held in the wallet can be used to purchase additional accounts or withdrawn to a chosen payment method. Traders may also retain funds in their wallet indefinitely, allowing them to use their profits at their own discretion.
