FundedX
Crypto Prop Trading Sign Up: Get Started with FundedXProp
Head to our challenges, grab a crypto-friendly account, and clear the evaluation. From there you're trading FundedX money, not your own savings. Hit the profit target, stay inside the loss limits, and you keep up to 100% of what you make. Most people are live within a day of signing up.
Short pitch. The rest of this page earns it. You've probably watched a clean crypto move rip past you while your personal account sat too small to do anything about it. Funded capital fixes that math. You take most of the upside, the firm eats the downside, and your job shrinks to one thing: trade well inside a rulebook you already know going in.
What crypto prop trading actually means here
Pass one evaluation. Then you trade the firm's capital and split the profits with it. That's the deal. No investors to chase, no personal stack to blow up on a bad Sunday wick.
FundedX is run by AJ Currency (Adrian Mudronja), a trader who ground his way up before scaling into prop. It shows. The rules read like someone who has actually been long into a 9% candle wrote them, not a compliance desk. Crypto turns ugly fast, and the framework was clearly built with that in mind.
What a crypto account gets you:
- Firm capital in play, none of it your money at risk
- Leverage up to 1:50, enough to size properly without torching your margin
- Three platforms to choose from: cTrader, MetaTrader 5 (MT5), and TradeLocker
- Up to a 100% profit split on what you bank once funded (Instant Funding pays 95%)
Account sizes run from $5K all the way to $800K, and consistent traders can scale capital up toward $10M. Pick something you can actually trade, not the biggest number on the page.
How to sign up (start to first trade)
Five steps. On purpose.
- Open our challenges and look at the account sizes.
- Pick your funding model. Turbo, 1-Phase, 2-Phase, or Instant Funding. More on the differences below.
- Pay the registration fee. It's refundable under the firm's refund policy once you're funded, so treat it like a deposit, not money gone.
- Trade the evaluation. Hit the profit target, respect the loss limits, and you're through.
- Go live. You're on firm capital and drawing your split.
No multi-week onboarding. No interview. Clear the numbers, you're in.
Choosing your funding model
- Turbo — fast track. 5% profit target, 7-day window, and copy trading is allowed. Built for traders who want a quick run and 100% of the split.
- 1-Phase — single evaluation. Hit the profit target once and you're done. Fewer hoops if you trade clean.
- 2-Phase — the classic. Two checkpoints to prove the run wasn't a fluke. Often the cheapest way in.
- Instant Funding — skip the test entirely and trade funded from day one. You pay more up front; you start immediately and keep 95%.
New to evaluations? Start with 2-Phase. Already trade like you're funded? Turbo, 1-Phase, or Instant gets you there faster.
The rules, in plain language
Crypto traders lose accounts to risk limits, not profit targets. So know your limits cold before you size a single position. The specifics live on each challenge's rules page, but a few things hold across the board:
- A clear profit target to clear (Turbo's is 5%; standard challenges show theirs on the pricing page).
- A daily loss limit and an overall loss limit — the overall one is your hard floor, the daily one is what catches people on a fast spike.
- Unlimited time on standard challenges. No countdown clock forcing you into a trade.
- Leverage up to 1:50.
- EAs are allowed on standard challenges, so automated crypto strategies are fair game.
That no-deadline piece matters more than it reads. When the tape goes sideways for two days, you sit out instead of forcing a setup to beat a clock. In crypto, patience is an edge.
cTrader, MT5, or TradeLocker for crypto
All three are supported and all three fill fast. Pick by how you already trade:
- cTrader — fast, depth-of-market view, great for traders who care about execution detail and order flow.
- MT5 — the workhorse. Indicators, custom templates, automated strategies. If you run EAs, this is home.
- TradeLocker — clean and browser-based, quick to pick up. Came from a modern exchange UI? This'll feel natural, and it's solid for scalping the majors.
Whatever you land on, you'll want tight spreads prop challenge conditions working for you. Tight spreads on Bitcoin and Ethereum mean less of your edge leaks out on every entry and exit.
Why traders pick FundedX for crypto
- Real firm capital, your downside capped at a refundable fee. You risk the entry, not a trading account.
- A split that's worth it. Up to 100% to you; Instant Funding still pays 95%.
- Rules built for volatility. Unlimited time on standard challenges plus defined loss caps let you ride out the spikes instead of getting structured out of a winning trade.
- A founder who actually trades. AJ Currency runs this like a trader, not a balance sheet.
- Fast payouts. Bi-weekly, and some funded traders see money hit within minutes.
A few tips for passing on a crypto account
The people who clear the evaluation tend to do the same dull, repeatable things:
- Protect the daily loss limit before you chase the target. Tag the daily cap and your run is over. Miss target by a day and you just keep trading.
- Size for the wicks. Crypto gaps and spikes without warning. Position so one ugly move doesn't park you near your floor.
- Don't rush the standard challenges. There's no clock, so let setups come to you instead of inventing trades.
- Commit to one platform. cTrader, MT5, or TradeLocker. Hopping mid-evaluation costs you focus you can't spare.
