What are you waiting for?
At KickStart, we believe in offering traders a unique and transparent approach to trader funding.
That's why we're thrilled to introduce our NEW! Two-Step Trader Funding Program - designed to give you the flexibility and opportunity to prove your skills and split the gains with us, without unnecessary barriers or gimmicks.
With so many tradeable instruments at your fingertips, including FX, Indices, Commodites and Crypto, the opportunities are endless.
Trade on your terms - whenever, however, and whatever you choose.
Just don't exceed the STATIC maximum 8% DD, or lose more than 4% per day.
Generate 10% in Step One, and a further 5% in step two.
That's it. Simple, Transparent, and Fair. These are the pillars on which we've built this program. If you're a serious trader, what are you waiting for?
*Available add-on. Standard split is 75/25 | **Weekend holding is available as an extra add-on at checkout | Stop/Loss Exemption available as an extra add-on at checkout
With our fixed drawdown structure, you’ll never be "trapped" by a moving target. Your drawdown level remains constant, allowing you to trade freely without the concern that a profitable trade might push your risk limit higher.
For example, if you start with $100,000, your Equity Stop Out (ESO) level is set at $95,000 (5% of the initial balance). Even if your account grows to $102,000, your ESO remains fixed at $95,000—providing you with stability and confidence to trade on your terms.
This approach offers you ultimate freedom and flexibility, without the pressure of adjusting to changing risk levels. Trade with peace of mind, knowing your drawdown will never increase as your account grows.
Keep Most of What You’ve Earned…
At KickStart, we believe your success should be yours to keep.
That’s why we offer one of the industry’s most rewarding profit splits, so you can retain up to 90%* of your account gains.
Your hard work and trading skills deserve to be recognized—and rewarded—on your terms.
*Available as an optional add-on at checkout. Standard Trader’s Share is 75%.
Unlike trailing drawdowns that adjust as you gain, our approach allows you to build substantial available drawdown over time. The more distance between your current balance and the Equity Stop Out (ESO) level, the better.
However, experienced traders know that losses can sometimes escalate quickly—what starts as a small setback can snowball into something much larger. That's where the 4% Daily Drawdown comes in.
By setting a daily limit, we help ensure you avoid falling into a cycle of escalating losses. When things aren’t going well, taking a break is the best course of action—there’s always another opportunity tomorrow.
This safeguard is here to help you trade with confidence, knowing that your risk is managed and your potential for recovery is preserved.
Unleash the Power of Full Performance Analytics
It requires a well-crafted plan. However, that’s just the beginning.
To truly gauge your progress and evaluate your performance against your goals, you need access to comprehensive performance analytics.
With our trader dashboard, you’ll have a complete view of your trading journey. It presents everything you need to know in a single, streamlined platform. Keep track of your qualification progress, monitor your distance from your drawdown (DD) thresholds, and conveniently view your last-snapped High Watermark (HWM). Additionally, we provide you with reminders of the few program rules we have in place and even project your annual return for added clarity.
Informed decisions are empowered decisions. By arming yourself with full performance analytics, you gain the knowledge and insights needed to unlock your potential and make the most of every trading opportunity.
Once you successfully complete both steps of the assessment, you'll gain immediate access to your live funded account.
When you're in profit, you can begin submitting withdrawal requests.
The first withdrawal is available right away, and thereafter, you can request one on-demand withdrawal every 30 days.
Are you ready to take full control of your trading future? Start now and unlock the potential for steady, real profits. Don’t wait—seize the opportunity to trade with live capital and turn your skills into success today!

YOUR CAREER, EMPOWERED.
If you’re brand new to trading and not quite ready to pursue trader funding, check out our Ultimate Markets Trading Course, which will give you all the necessary building blocks to KickStart your trading career – did we mention a $25,000 USD trader funding one-step assessment is included FREE with each enrolment?
The Two-Step Assessment
● 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. Both 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.
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. Daily Stop 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 stop loss limit if your equity reached $96,000 during the day. If your floating equity is +$6,000 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 $96,000.
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 8% of your starting balance.
This 8% is static and does not trail. Ever.
We require all trades on other assets to be closed by
3:45pm EST on Friday. <br><br> Any trades left open after this time will automatically be closed prior to market
closing. <br><br>Note, this is only a soft breach and you will be able to continue trading once the markets
reopen.<br><br>
You can also purchase this as an optional add-on at checkout if you want to be able to hold on to positions through the weekend.
● Forex – 1 lot = $100k notional
● Index – 1 lot = 1 Contracts
Exceptions:
SPX500: 1 lot = 10 contracts
JPN225: 1 lot = 500 contracts
● Cryptos – 1 lot = 1 coin
● Silver – 1 lot = 5000 ounces
● Gold – 1 lot = 100 ounces
● Oil – 1 lot = 100 barrels
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.
The Funded Account
Upon passing your Assessment, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access and
complete both your “Know Your Customer” verification and your “Trader Agreement”. Once both are
completed and supporting documentation is provided, your Funded Account will be created, funded and
issued to you typically within 24-48 business hours. You will receive a confirmation email once this
account is being enabled.
Once you pass the Assessment, we provide you with a funded account, backed by our capital.
The capital in your funded Account is notional and may not match the amount of capital on
deposit with the Liquidity Provider. A Funded Account is notionally funded when actual funds in
the account (i.e., the equity in a Funded Account represented by the amount of capital) differs
from the nominal account size (i.e., the size of the Funded Account that establishes the initial
account value and level of trading). Notional funds are the difference between nominal account
size and actual capital in a funded account.
Use of notional funding does not impact your trading conditions in any way.
No. We do not have any control over pricing from the liquidity provider or on the executions on
your trades.
For purposes of managing risk and minimizing transaction costs, we may offset or negate
market risk and act as the direct counterparty to certain trades initiated in the Account. Such
trades are executed at prices provided by arm’s length third parties. This framework is intended
to ensure you receive real market execution on your trades, while simultaneously allowing us to
manage risk dynamically by routing existing positions or future orders to third parties for
execution as we deem appropriate. We believe that such real market execution and dynamic
risk management would not be possible or as cost-effective if trades were executed in
simulated accounts. Regardless of whether we act as counterparty to your trades, the gain or
loss on your funded account is not calculated differently. However, when we act as the
counterparty to your trades, there is an inherent potential conflict of interest because your trades do not result in net gain or loss to us, as your trades would if we were not the direct
counterparty.
The maximum position that you may open is determined by your available margin. We reserve the right
to increase the margin requirement, limit the number of open positions you may enter or maintain in
the Funded Account at any time, and to revise in response to market conditions the drawdown levels at
which trading in the funded account will be halted. We or the Liquidity Provider reserve the right to
refuse to accept any order.
The rules for the funded account are exactly the same as your Assessment account. However, with a
funded account, there is no profit target.
If you have gains in your funded account at the time of a hard breach, you will still receive your portion
of those gains.
For example, if you have a $100,000 account and you grow that account to $110,000. Should you then
have a hard breach we would close the account. Of the $10,000 in gains in your funded account, you
would be paid your portion thereof.
Traders can request a withdrawal of the gains in their funded account at any time in their trader
dashboard, but no more frequently than once per thirty (30) days. So, if you make gain in your funded
account, you can request a withdrawal. When you are ready to withdraw the gains from your funded
account, click the Withdraw Profits button in your trader dashboard and enter the amount to withdraw.
All such gains are distributed via the available outbound payment solutions offered from time to time.
Once your withdrawal request is approved, we will pay the monies owed to you. We reserve the right to
change the withdrawal methods and options at any time.
Your first withdrawal can be requested at any time. Thereafter, you can request a withdrawal of the
gains in your account every 30 days. When a withdrawal is approved, we will also withdraw our share of
the gains, and your max drawdown will lock in at your starting balance. The Maximum Drawdown does
not reset when you request a withdrawal. Example: You have taken an account from $100,000 to
$120,000. You then request a withdrawal of $16,000. In this scenario, you will receive $12,000 and we
would retain $4,000. This would also take the balance of the account down to $104,000, and your
Maximum Drawdown is locked in at $100,000. So, you would have $4,000 maximum you could lose on
the account before it would violate the Maximum Drawdown rule. If you take a full withdrawal of the
gains in your funded account, the Maximum Drawdown will still lock in at the starting balance and will therefore result in the forfeiting of your Funded Account, as your balance will trigger the Maximum
Drawdown breach rule.
