HOW WE ARE STRUCTURED
Verified Trader Capital Inc is a skill-assessment and performance evaluation service — not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, or commodity trading adviser. Understanding this structure is important before you purchase a challenge.
Element
Detail
Implication for you
Business type
Skill-assessment service provider
We test your trading skill — we are not managing your money or providing investment advice
Evaluation accounts
Simulated trading environments using live Forex, CFD, Commodity, and Index market data
No real positions are placed during evaluation — you trade in a simulated environment with real prices
Performance accounts
Also simulated — rewards paid by the program operator
Payouts are paid by the program operator, FX-EDGE V Ltd, from its own funds — not withdrawals from a regulated brokerage account. We are committed to paying every trader who meets the documented criteria.
Evaluation fees
Non-refundable service fees for access to the evaluation system
The fee pays for platform access, data feed, and risk infrastructure — it is not a deposit
Payouts
Paid by the program operator
Payouts are paid by FX-EDGE V Ltd, in cryptocurrency or by bank transfer, to traders who meet all documented criteria. Denials are issued only for documented rule violations, and any question about a specific payout goes to Match-Trade support (support@match-prop.com or the chat inside the trading platform).
Regulatory status
Not registered with CFTC, SEC, NFA, or FINRA
This is the established industry-standard structure for evaluation-based prop firms — designed to follow industry-standard prop firm practice
Governing law
England and Wales — FX-EDGE V Ltd
All disputes are handled by FX-EDGE V Ltd and governed by the laws of England and Wales
OFAC compliance
Traders from sanctioned countries cannot participate
Afghanistan, Belarus, Crimea/Donetsk/Luhansk/Kherson/Zaporizhzhia/Sevastopol region, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Korea, Gaza, Iran, Libya, Myanmar, Russian Federation, South Sudan, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela — blocked at KYC by our platform provider
- This is the standard legal structure for the evaluation-based prop firm industry. The skill-assessment service model — simulated accounts, discretionary payouts — is the established structure used across the industry. It is legal, well-documented, and designed to follow industry-standard prop firm practice.
RISK DISCLOSURE
Verified Trader Capital Inc is a skill-assessment and performance evaluation service — not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, or commodity trading adviser. Understanding this structure is important before you purchase a challenge.
Trading CFDs and Forex involves a substantial risk of loss and is not appropriate for all investors. You should carefully consider your financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objectives before participating in any CFD/FOREX prop firm evaluation.
The majority of evaluation participants do not pass their challenge and do not receive a funded account. Of those who receive funded accounts, not all achieve consistent profitability or receive payouts. Past performance — whether your own or that of others — is not indicative of future results.
The evaluation fee you pay is non-refundable. You may lose the entire amount of the evaluation fee regardless of your trading performance. Do not pay an evaluation fee with money you cannot afford to lose.
Market risk
CFD and Forex prices can move rapidly and substantially in either direction. A single adverse price move can eliminate your entire daily loss buffer. Forex and CFD markets operate nearly 24 hours a day, 5 days a week — price gaps can occur at session opens and around major economic events.
Evaluation fee risk
The evaluation fee is non-refundable under all circumstances. If you breach the drawdown rule, hit the daily loss limit repeatedly, or violate any challenge rule, your evaluation ends and the fee is not returned. Only purchase a challenge with funds you can afford to lose entirely.
Drawdown & breach risk
Your evaluation account can be terminated at any time if your account equity reaches the maximum loss floor for your category. This can happen due to a single large losing trade, multiple smaller losses, or adverse market movements on open overnight positions. Breaches are automatic and final.
Counterparty risk
Payouts are paid by FX-EDGE V Ltd, the operator of the program, from its own funds — not from a segregated client account or regulated brokerage. Every trader who meets the documented criteria in the Funded Account Terms is paid, in cryptocurrency or by bank transfer, on the published 5- or 14-day cycle.
Leverage risk and Swap / rollover cost
CFDs and Forex are highly leveraged instruments. A small adverse price movement relative to position size can result in a loss many times larger than the initial margin. The leverage available in CFD and Forex trading magnifies both gains and losses significantly. Forex Positions held past 21:00 UTC incur swap charges or credits depending on the instrument and direction. Swaps are applied to your account equity and count toward both your daily loss limit and your maximum drawdown. Check swap rates in the platform before holding a position overnight.
Technology risk
Trading platform outages, internet connectivity issues, data feed interruptions, or software errors can prevent you from managing open positions. Verified Trader Capital is not responsible for losses or rule violations caused by technology failures outside our direct control.
HOW WE MAKE MONEY
We believe traders deserve to understand exactly how their prop firm makes money. Here is our model — stated plainly.
Revenue source: Evaluation fees paid by traders who purchase challenges. Each fee ranges from $44 to $3,950 depending on category and account size.
Payout source: Funded trader payouts are paid from evaluation fee revenue and company capital. We manage payout obligations against incoming revenue to maintain financial sustainability.
The alignment: Our model works best when skilled traders pass evaluations, trade funded accounts profitably, and receive consistent payouts — because happy funded traders buy more challenges and refer other traders. We are financially incentivized to pay qualified traders promptly.
The honest limitation: Like every evaluation-based prop firm, our revenue depends in part on traders who do not pass their challenges. We do not design rules specifically to cause failures — but the rules are strict because they reflect real risk management standards. Most traders who fail do so because of risk management errors, not because rules are unfair.
EVALUATION RULES AT A GLANCE
These five rules apply across the programme. The figures differ by category — One-Step, Two-Step, Instant Funding and Instant Light. All are enforced automatically in real time. Full rule documentation is on the Rules page.
01
10%
Profit target
Of starting balance on One-Step. Two-Step is 10% then 5%. No time limit.
02
3–5%
Daily loss limit
3% on One-Step and Instant Funding, 5% on Two-Step. Equity-based.
03
5–10%
Max drawdown
6% One-Step (fixed) · 10% Two-Step (fixed) · 5% Instant (trailing)
04
5 days
Minimum Trading Days
5 separate days on every program — One-Step, Two-Step, Instant Funding and Instant Light.
05
25%
Consistency rule
Instant Light only. No single day may exceed 25% of total profit at payout. Not applied to One-Step, Two-Step or Instant Funding.
- Breach: hitting the daily loss limit or the maximum loss floor for your category is a breach of the Trading Objectives. The evaluation ends immediately and the account is closed. To continue, purchase a new evaluation.
-
No time limit — there is no deadline to complete the evaluation. No weekend holds — all positions must be closed by Friday 5:00 PM ET.
$5K: $300 · $500 · $250
$10K: $600 · $1,000 · $500
$25K: $1,500 · $2,500 · $1,250
$50K: $3,000 · $5,000 · $2,500
$100K: $6,000 · $10,000 · $5,000
One-Step and Two-Step floors are fixed: calculated once from the initial balance and unaffected by later profits. Instant Funding and Instant Light trail: the threshold moves up with your highest equity and never comes back down — it is not recalculated after a payout. Instant Light uses the same $5K–$25K figures as Instant.
$5K account: 80% to trader
$10K account: 80% to trader
$25K account: 80% to trader
$50K account: 80% to trader
$100K account: 80% to trader
No cap on earnings per payout cycle. The first payout is available immediately once funded, then every 5 days on One-Step and Two-Step, every 14 days on Instant Funding and Instant Light. Each funded account is limited to 5 payouts; after the fifth payout the account is closed and a new challenge must be purchased to continue.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Regulatory structure
Verified Trader Capital is not registered as a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or commodity pool operator. We operate as a skill-assessment service with simulated accounts — the established industry-standard structure for evaluation-based prop firms. Our structure is designed to follow industry-standard prop firm practice.
KYC / AML compliance
All traders must complete Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification before any payout can be processed. KYC is conducted by our platform provider (Match-Trade) using government-issued ID and biometric verification. This is required under US Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. Your identity data is processed securely and not shared with third parties.
OFAC sanctions compliance
We are prohibited from serving traders from countries subject to OFAC sanctions, including Afghanistan, Belarus, Crimea/Donetsk/Luhansk/Kherson/Zaporizhzhia/Sevastopol region, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Korea, Gaza, Iran, Libya, Myanmar, Russian Federation, South Sudan, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela. This restriction is enforced automatically at the KYC stage by our platform provider. Attempting to circumvent geographic restrictions will result in permanent account suspension and forfeiture of all funds.
Data privacy
Personal data collected during registration and KYC is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We collect only what is necessary to provide the service and process payouts. We do not sell personal data to third parties. Data is stored on secure, encrypted infrastructure managed by Match-Trade and their verified sub-processors.
Terms of service
By purchasing an evaluation challenge you agree to our full Terms of Service, which governs the evaluation process, payout conditions, prohibited conduct, and dispute resolution. The Terms and Conditions constitute a binding legal agreement governed by the laws of England and Wales.
Tax reporting
Traders are solely responsible for reporting and paying taxes on any payouts received from Verified Trader Capital. We do not provide tax advice. US traders receiving $600 or more in a calendar year will receive IRS Form 1099-NEC. International traders are responsible for compliance with their local tax obligations. Consult a qualified tax professional.
Trading CFDs and Forex involves a substantial risk of loss and is not appropriate for all investors or traders. CFD and Forex trading is highly speculative and can result in losses that exceed your initial investment. You should only participate with risk capital — money you can afford to lose entirely without impacting your financial wellbeing.
Verified Trader Capital Inc is not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, commodity trading adviser, or commodity pool operator with the SEC, CFTC, NFA, FINRA, or any other regulatory body. Nothing on this website or in any communication from Verified Trader Capital constitutes financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, or any other type of advice.
Evaluation accounts are simulated trading environments that use live Forex, CFD, Commodity, and Index market data provided through Match-Trade. No actual positions are executed on any exchange on behalf of evaluation account holders. Simulated trading results may differ materially from actual trading results due to factors including but not limited to slippage, liquidity, and execution quality.
Performance Account payouts are paid by FX-EDGE V Ltd, the operator of the program, from its own funds. Payouts are paid by FX-EDGE V Ltd, the operator of the programs, to traders who meet the eligibility criteria in the Funded Account Terms. Most payout requests are approved when all rules are followed. Payouts may be withheld only for documented rule violations — prohibited trading, incomplete KYC, or, on Instant Light accounts, a consistency rule breach — and any question about a decision is handled by Match-Trade support inside the trading platform.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. The trading results of funded traders displayed on this website represent individual results that may not be typical or achievable by all traders. Individual results will vary based on trading skill, risk management, market conditions, and other factors.
Evaluation fees are non-refundable under any circumstances, including but not limited to: account breach due to rule violation, voluntary account closure, platform technical issues beyond Verified Trader Capital’s direct control, or change of mind after purchase.
By purchasing an evaluation challenge, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the full Terms of Service, this disclaimer, and all challenge rules documented on the Rules page of this website. You further acknowledge that you are participating in a skill-assessment service — not a regulated investment program — and that all associated risks are your sole responsibility.
