QT Funded

Payout Frequency

Payout requests are available every 2 weeks (14 days) from the first trade on the funded account and every 14 days for each consecutive payout cycle.

• QT PRIME: Bi-weekly payouts at 80% split, or Prime On-Demand payouts (100% split) subject to eligibility requirements.
• QT POWER: payout on-demand subject to minimum conditions (including 35% consistency and minimum trading days).
• QT INSTANT: bi-weekly payouts at 80% split (with a 5% minimum profit and 25% consistency requirement for eligibility).

QT Funded provides three core routes to a simulated funded account:

• QT PRIME (2-Step): 8% profit target in Stage 1 and 5% in Stage 2, with a 4% fixed daily drawdown (from initial balance) and a 10% static max drawdown; minimum 4 trading days per phase. Funded stage supports bi-weekly payouts at 80% split, or Prime On-Demand payouts (100% split) with additional eligibility requirements.
• QT PRIME (3-Step): 6% profit target in each of the three stages, with the same 4% daily / 10% max loss limits and minimum trading-day rules.
• QT POWER (2-Step): 6% profit target in each phase, 8% max loss, and daily drawdown measured on End-of-Day equity (3% legacy rules; 4% for accounts issued after 9 Apr 2025), with a 35% consistency score requirement for both challenge and funded stages.
• QT INSTANT: Instant funded model (no evaluation). Traders must complete KYC and sign the contract before trading. It uses a fixed 3% daily drawdown (from the initial balance) plus a 6% trailing max drawdown from the highest recorded balance/equity, and requires 5% profit + 5 trading days + a 25% consistency score before the first withdrawal.

Weekend holding is permitted across QT PRIME, QT POWER and QT INSTANT (trades can be held over the weekend), subject to general risk rules and market conditions.

Copy trading rules depend on total allocation:

• Under $400,000 total allocation: traders may copy trades and use the same strategy across accounts.
• $400,000 and above: traders may still hold multiple accounts, but they may not copy trades or use the same strategy between accounts; each account must use a different strategy and trade different instruments for its entire history.
• QT INSTANT: additional max-allocation rule for same-strategy use (max $99,000); QT Instant allocation also counts toward the overall $400,000 cap.

Expert Advisors (EAs) are permitted only with pre-approval. Traders must submit the EA name and links to [email protected] before use. Trade copiers are also permitted with approval, and copied executions must place visible SL/TP (no invisible trade management). Unapproved use can result in account forfeit and group trading with shared EAs is prohibited.

Prohibited strategies include (non-exhaustive): latency trading, arbitrage, front-running price feeds, high-frequency/tick scalping, reverse trading or group hedging, order-book spamming, flooding servers with algorithm messages, one-sided betting/excessive one-sided positions, and other behaviors deemed toxic by risk. Account management services are not permitted and can result in bans and profit forfeiture.

Refund Policy

QT Funded’s terms state that all purchases are non-refundable and that payments are final for access to the simulated evaluation services.

3 Percent Rule

QT Funded does not publish a universal "3% per trade" rule. Risk is controlled via plan-level drawdown limits and explicit max-risk / max-exposure policies:

• QT INSTANT: maximum risk allowed is 2% (hard breach if violated).
• QT PRIME (Funded): funded traders must not expose more than 2.5% of initial account balance at any one time.
• QT POWER: the maximum risk per trade or overall open positions is 2% of account balance (hard breach).
• Excessive Exposure: risking more than 75% of daily/max drawdown limits within open positions can trigger penalties (e.g., evaluation resets upon passing).

Consistency Rules

Consistency requirements are tied to plan rules and payout eligibility:

• QT POWER: both challenge and funded accounts must maintain a 35% consistency score (best day profit ÷ total profit × 100).
• QT PRIME (On-Demand): requires a 35% consistency score and a minimum of 3% profit to be requested; pays 100% split when eligible.
• QT INSTANT: requires a 25% consistency threshold at withdrawal time (no single day’s profit may exceed 25% of total profits) and a minimum 5% profit before the first withdrawal.

Payout Processing

QT Funded states payout requests are processed within 24 business hours after submission/approval (the request day does not count toward the 24-hour processing window).

Minimum performance fee: the minimum payout amount is 1% or $100 (whichever is higher). For QT INSTANT, the minimum performance fee is stated as 5% of profit margin.

Max allocation: traders can hold as many accounts as they like, but total allocation is capped at $400,000. Below $400,000, copying and same-strategy use across accounts is permitted; at $400,000 and above, copying and same-strategy use across accounts is prohibited.

Merging: account merges are supported up to a $200,000 merged account size. Accounts must be the same balance and remain untraded, and traders must raise a support ticket to merge.

QT INSTANT: has an additional same-strategy allocation rule (max $99,000) and still contributes to the overall $400,000 cap.

KYC is required as part of onboarding and may be requested by the company’s AML/KYC providers. QT INSTANT specifically requires KYC verification and a signed contract before trading is enabled. Accounts may be treated as inactive/invalid if the latest KYC requirements are not completed.

Other Risk Rules

• Inactivity: accounts cannot be inactive for more than 30 calendar days.
• News rule (Funded stage for QT PRIME & QT INSTANT): no manual opening/closing/modifying trades or orders within 5 minutes before/after high-impact (Forex Factory red-folder) releases; violations are treated as hard breaches. QT PRIME On-Demand does not have the news rule applied.
• Weekend holding: trades can be held over the weekend across QT PRIME, QT POWER and QT INSTANT.
• EA & Trade Copiers: allowed only with pre-approval via [email protected]; unapproved use can result in account forfeit; group trading (multiple traders using the same EA with identical trades) is prohibited.
• Copy trading & allocation controls: copying and same-strategy usage is permitted under $400,000 total allocation; at $400,000 and above, traders cannot copy trades or use the same strategy between accounts (each account must trade different instruments/strategy for its history). QT INSTANT has an additional max allocation rule ($99,000 for same-strategy use; also counts toward the $400,000 cap).
• Third-party payments: not accepted; payment method name must match the account holder.
• Prohibited practices: latency/arbitrage/HFT, order-book spamming, reverse trading/group hedging, one-sided betting, and other behaviors deemed toxic can lead to profit forfeiture or bans.
• VPN/VPS: permitted; however, trading must be conducted solely by the verified account holder and restricted-country IP connections can cause enforcement actions.

QT Funded provides a demo environment designed to mirror real-market conditions, using live data feeds, variable interbank spreads, and fixed commissions (where applicable). Spreads can widen during volatility, illiquid periods, or around major events.

Execution is designed to reflect real conditions and can include both positive and negative slippage and execution delay, especially during high volatility or large order sizes. Trades may also be reviewed/voided if they are deemed to exploit unrealistic prices or trade opportunities during abnormal market conditions.

QT Funded prohibits "all-or-nothing" / gambling-style trading, including risking excessive portions of daily drawdown. Martingale-style risk escalation that resembles gambling behavior can be treated as prohibited and may result in profit forfeiture or account termination.

QT Funded does not publish a single universal public lot-size ladder in its help centre. Risk is primarily controlled through drawdown limits, max-risk/max-exposure rules (e.g., 2% max risk on QT INSTANT; 2.5% max exposure on QT PRIME funded), and enforcement against excessive exposure (e.g., risking more than 75% of drawdown buffers within open positions can trigger penalties).
