Challenge-Specific Questions
How do I become a Bitfunded Trader?
Our simulated trading challenge consists of 2 steps that you must pass before becoming a Bitfunded Trader:
1. Stage 1: The initial demo phase of the Evaluation Process. To proceed to Stage 2, you must demonstrate both
your trading expertise and adherence to our set Trading Objectives.
2. Stage 2: The second and final step towards becoming a Bitfunded Trader. This step is very similar to Stage 1
but with a lower requirement for appreciation of the demo capital. The purpose of Stage 2 is to confirm that the
results obtained in Stage 1 were not merely coincidental.
3. Bitfunded Trader: If you successfully complete the entire evaluation process, you will become a Bitfunded
Trader with a Bitfunded Simulated Trading Account of up to 100,000 USDT. Trade consistently on our platform and
earn rewards based on your simulated trading performance.
What is the difference between Step 1 and Step 2 challenges?
The main difference is the number of evaluation stages. The Step 1 challenge has one evaluation stage before moving to the funded stage, while the Step 2 challenge requires two evaluation stages before becoming funded. The daily loss limit, maximum loss limit, and profit targets also differ between the two challenge types.
What are the rules for trading in a Trading Challenge?
To successfully complete each step of our evaluation process, keep the following rules in mind:
- Each challenge level has a set Profit Target. You must achieve the Profit Target with no open positions to clear each objective.
- Each challenge level has a Maximum Daily Loss and Maximum Loss. Exceeding any maximum drawdown limit will result in immediate disqualification from the challenge. Traders are encouraged to manage their risks carefully within the simulated environment.
How are the Daily Loss Limit and Maximum Loss Limit calculated?
The Daily Loss Limit is calculated based on your initial account balance and resets every day. For example, on a $100,000 account with a 5% daily loss limit, the maximum loss allowed in a single day is $5,000. Even if your account is in profit, losing more than this amount within one day would result in a breach of the rule.
The Maximum Loss Limit is a fixed percentage of your initial account balance and does not change during the challenge. For example, on a $100,000 account with a 10% maximum loss limit, the account will only be considered failed if the balance drops to $90,000. As long as your balance remains above this level, the rule is not breached.
The platform resets daily between 00:00 and 00:10 UTC+8. You can see this directly on your trading chart, when the chart moves to a new day, the platform resets accordingly, including the daily loss calculation.
What is the settlement time and when does it occur?
The settlement time reset refers to the moment when the trading platform transitions from one day to the next. This
means that the daily loss limit resets at this time and that trades taken from that moment will count as a new trading
day. This occurs between 00:00 and 00:10 (UTC+8).
Can I participate in multiple challenges at the same time?
There is no limitation on the number of challenges users can purchase, whether they are of the same type or
different types. However, during the Trader Stage, only one ongoing challenge per level is permitted at a time.
What trading fees are charged on Bitfunded?
Bitfunded charges a 0.04% fee of the position size when opening a trade and again when closing it, similar to most crypto exchanges. You can view the detailed breakdown of these fees in the Transaction History section of your trading portal.
What leverage is available on Bitfunded?
Bitfunded offers leverage ranging from 1x to 5x. This range is designed to help traders manage risk more effectively and promote more consistent and responsible trading by reducing the chances of over-leveraging.
Is there any inactivity rule before or after starting a challenge?
No, Bitfunded does not have any inactivity rules. You can start trading whenever you are ready, and there is no time restriction related to inactivity before or after beginning your challenge.
What payment methods are allowed?
You can pay for a Trading Challenge via digital tokens (USDT) or credit/debit card (Ngenius & Hotmart). We start processing your
Bitfunded Challenge Account as soon as we receive the payment. You will receive your trading challenge
notification by email.
Profit Questions
How is the Reward determined?
The default payout ratio for all Bitfunded Traders is set to 80:20, with 80% of the rewards based on simulated
trading results going to the trader and 20% to Bitfunded.
What are the phases in the Trader Stage?
Once you reach the Live Stage, you will see three phases displayed at the bottom of your dashboard. These phases represent the trading cycle leading up to your Profit Sharing Day, when you can request your profits.
The cycles are unlimited, and Bitfunded accounts do not expire as long as no rule violations occur. After each profit-sharing request, the cycle resets, allowing you to continue trading and earning.
What is the Profit Sharing Day?
The Profit Sharing Day is the day when you can request a payout of your profits. You can set this directly from your dashboard, choosing a payout interval between 2 and 60 days based on your preference. You are also allowed to modify the Profit Sharing Day up to three times per trading cycle.
How can I withdraw my profits?
On your Profit Sharing Day, you can request a withdrawal by following these steps:
1. Click the “Withdraw All Profits” button on your dashboard.
2. You will see a message prompting you to proceed to the Payout page.
3. Go to the Payouts tab.
4. In the Funds section, click Withdraw.
5. Enter the required details, including the network and wallet address.
Once submitted, your request will be processed and your earnings will be on the way.
Withdrawal requests are reviewed and processed by the finance team within 24 hours. Please note that processing is done only on working days, so requests submitted on weekends or holidays may be handled on the next business day.
When will the challenge fee be refunded?
The challenge fee is refunded along with your third payout. Once you successfully reach and process your third profit withdrawal, the challenge fee will be included in that payout.
How often can I request a payout?
Traders can request up to three (3) payouts every 30 days using the same challenge. If you are trading on multiple challenges, you can request up to five (5) payouts within the same 30-day period.
How and when can I withdraw my rewards?
Withdrawals of performance-based rewards can be requested monthly. Rewards are transferred through digital
tokens (USDT), subject to Bitfunded’s withdrawal terms.

How does a Bitfunded Account work from the technical side?
All trading on Bitfunded takes place on our simulated platform. Although all trades are simulated, market data is
real and provided by some of our partner exchanges.
In a separate process, Bitfunded also trades on real accounts with its own capital, utilizing, among other things,
data from simulated trades executed by Bitfunded Traders. This execution occurs without any impact on Bitfunded
Traders and their simulated trading experience.
