For Traders Technical Infrastructure
For Traders, based in the United Arab Emirates and established in June 2023, is a CFD proprietary trading firm offering Instant, 1-Step, 2-Step, and 3-Step evaluation programs. Account sizes range from $6,000 to $200,000. A coupon code (3KFEB) delivers a special discount on selected programs. The firm offers a notable range of funding models including both trailing and static drawdown evaluation paths, along with an Instant Master and Instant Master Pro track for traders seeking immediate funded access.
The 2-Step Challenge covers five account sizes: $6,000 at $56.95 (original $67.00), $15,000 at $99.45 (original $117.00), $25,000 at $174.25 (original $205.00), $50,000 at $271.15 (original $319.00), and $100,000 at $483.65 (original $569.00). The 1-Step Challenge Trailing program spans the same five sizes: $6,000 at $9.99, $15,000 at $84.15 (original $99.00), $25,000 at $152.15 (original $179.00), $50,000 at $211.65 (original $249.00), and $100,000 at $398.65 (original $469.00). Payments are accepted via Credit/Debit Card and Crypto.
Three platforms are supported: cTrader, MT5, and TradeLocker. Tradable instruments include FX, Metals, Indices, Energy, and Other Commodities. On Instant accounts, leverage is 1:10 for FX and 1:5 for Metals, Indices, and Energy. On 1-Step, 2-Step, and 3-Step accounts, leverage is 1:125 for FX, 1:40 for Metals and Energy, and 1:20 for Indices. During evaluations, news trading is permitted with no restriction. On funded Master accounts, holding positions during news is allowed, but opening new positions within 5 minutes before or after high-impact news is prohibited, and profits from any such trades will be deducted.
The profit split for 1-Step and 2-Step programs is 80% at standard pricing, with higher-cost variants offering 90% and lower-cost variants offering 70%. The 3-Step program pays 80%. The Instant Master starts at 70% and increases by 5% per payout up to a maximum of 90%. The Instant Master Pro begins at 60% and scales up by 10% per payout to 90%. Accounts must show at least 3% growth before any withdrawal can be processed. Minimum withdrawal is $100. Payouts over $500 go through Riseworks (Rise Pay, $50 fee), and payouts under $500 are settled via USDC ERC-20 Crypto ($25 fee). Payouts are processed on a 14-day cycle. Inactivity beyond 30 days results in termination; Instant accounts have a 7-day threshold.
For Traders prohibits HFT, arbitrage, grid trading, tick scalping, group trading, martingale, hedging, account rolling, third-party account operation, fully automated bots, gambling, copying trades into a For Traders account from external sources, and one-sided betting. A single trade may not account for more than 70% of the profit target. The 40% Margin Rule prohibits using more than 40% of available margin on a single trade or multiple trades in the same direction on the same instrument. Maximum account allocation is $200,000 ($100,000 from challenge plus $100,000 from Instant), or $300,000 with the Premium program. EAs that assist personal trading decisions are allowed; fully automated self-trading EAs are prohibited.
