Everything you need to know about Solex Funding.

Solex Funding is a free e-learning platform and evaluation firm focused on trading topics, offering comprehensive resources, challenges, and tests to help individuals improve their trading skills.

We offer a wide range of courses on trading, including technical analysis, risk management, market strategies, and advanced trading techniques.

Yes — we reward top-performing students and individuals who excel in challenges and tests with special prizes, recognition, and additional learning opportunities.

Anyone interested in improving their trading skills can participate. The challenges are designed to test knowledge, enhance skills, and encourage healthy competition among learners.

We provide a personalized dashboard where you can monitor course progress, test scores, and challenge performance. Rewards and achievements are also displayed here.

No. We provide simulated funded demo accounts after clients successfully pass our evaluation process, which can be a one- or two-step evaluation.

Solex Funding offers four challenge types: Instant Funding (15K, 25K, 50K, 100K — leverage 1:30), Two-Step 1 (10K, 25K, 50K, 100K, 200K — leverage 1:50), Two-Step 2 (10K, 25K, 50K, 100K, 200K — leverage 1:100), and One-Step (10K, 25K, 50K, 100K, 200K — leverage 1:50). All evaluations are denominated in USD.

For Instant Funding and the One-Step Challenge, trading operations cannot be initiated within 10 minutes before high-impact news releases (NFP, ICP, CPI, FOMC, Federal Reserve). Each Sunday you receive a weekly calendar highlighting news events during which trading is prohibited.

Trading during news events is not allowed for the Two-Step Challenge.

Yes, cryptocurrency trading is allowed over the weekend.

Yes, holding trades over the weekend is allowed.

While recommended for better risk management, it is not mandatory at Solex Funding.

A minimum of 4 calendar days of trading is required within each Reference Period.

Account merging is not available at the moment.

The account will be suspended and become ineligible for future payouts. A new account can be purchased, with a discount available.

During the One-Step Challenge and Two-Step Challenges, you may use expert advisors (including Martingale). However, on Funded Accounts the use of any expert advisors, tricks, or Martingale strategies is strictly prohibited — including for Instant Funding.

Prohibited practices include exploiting platform errors, using insider information, front-running, trading in a way that risks our relationship with brokers, or any trading that poses regulatory risks. All-or-nothing trading, manipulation through coordinated trading, or using third-party strategies to pass evaluations are also prohibited.

The following are specifically prohibited:

• Exploiting errors or latency in pricing/platform(s) provided by the Broker.
• Using non-public and/or insider information.
• Front-running trades placed elsewhere.
• Trading in a way that jeopardizes the relationship Solex Funding has with a broker or may result in cancelled trades.
• Trading in a way that creates regulatory issues for the Broker.
• All-or-nothing trading where you can lose the account in one trade.
• Any trading style we deem too risky.
• Trading in opposite directions with another trader/account, or otherwise trading in concert to manipulate the market or pricing.
• Using any third-party strategy, EA, off-the-shelf strategy, or one marketed to pass assessment accounts. We may require proof that an EA is your own.
• Use of EAs/Martingale on funded accounts (including Instant Funding) is strictly prohibited.
• Duplicating trades (manually or via EA) between master, evaluation, or other accounts.
• Gambling — more than 50% of trades held under a minute, opening five positions in a losing trade, or betting one direction and holding until pass/fail.
• Hedging is not allowed.
• No single trade should exceed 50% of the total payout amount.
• Abuse of the simulated environment via continuous large-volume trades without a clear strategy.

If there's no activity for 365 days, the trading account will be breached.

After passing evaluations, traders receive access to a simulated funded account with virtual funds, which mimics real market conditions. It is for educational purposes, with the opportunity for traders' strategies to be replicated by a proprietary firm.

We never issue real funds. Members pay a fee for an educational trading evaluation with an opportunity for their strategies to be copied and to receive compensation as an independent contractor. We are not a broker.

FX pairs, CFD indices, metals, commodities, equities, and cryptocurrencies.

No, it is not allowed.

Only the account owner is permitted to trade. Sharing access or using VPNs/VPS is prohibited.

The use of any services related to account management, “pass-your-challenge,” or copy trading is strictly forbidden. Engagement in such activities will result in the rejection of funded accounts and a permanent ban from our services.

Any violations detected by our system will lead to account breaches and a permanent ban.

We do not accept clients from a list of countries including Venezuela, Cuba, Belarus, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Congo, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Central African Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burundi, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Zimbabwe, Sudan, South Sudan, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Liberia, Syria.

The evaluation begins with your first trade.

A trading day counts when a trade is opened and spans from 22:00 UTC to 22:00 UTC the next day.

Credentials are provided within a maximum of 48 business hours after purchasing an evaluation.

On MT5 and (in future) TradeLocker, we offer a commission model with no charge per lot for cryptocurrencies and indices, and a $5 fee per lot for commodities, forex, and metals.

At launch, MT5 (MetaTrader 5) is our default platform. TradeLocker, cTrader and additional platforms will be added progressively. All available platforms are shown in your dashboard during account setup.

TradeLocker is a coming-soon trading platform that will complement our current MT5 offering. Once available, we will provide tutorials on accessing credentials, engaging with the platform, and leveraging its functionalities.

The profit target varies depending on the challenge and step. Select your preferred challenge directly from the dashboard.

The overall drawdown varies by challenge and step. For example, on a $100,000 account with an 8% overall drawdown limit, the account would breach if equity drops to $92,000. Each phase or challenge has different drawdown percentages.

The daily drawdown varies by challenge and step. For example, on a $100,000 account with a 4% daily drawdown limit, the account would breach if equity drops to $96,000 within a single trading day.

You will automatically receive phase 2 credentials by email within 24 business hours (also available on the Dashboard).

Upon successful completion of Phase 2, your trading account enters a comprehensive review process:

1. Trading Review. The Solex Funding risk management team reviews your trading history against our risk rules and Forbidden Trading Practices (typically within 24–48h).

2. KYC Verification. You will receive an email from Rise, our partnered KYC platform. Complete the KYC onboarding using the same email address you used for Solex Funding registration. KYC approval typically takes up to 2 business days.

3. Funded Account Activation. Once your trading is approved and KYC is verified, your Funded Account is automatically activated — typically within 72 hours of Phase 2 completion. You receive new credentials via email and your account “Contracts” tab confirms the upgrade.

4. Important: No additional contract signing is required at this stage. The Trader Account Agreement was accepted at your original challenge purchase and remains in effect for the entire lifecycle of your Funded Account.

Up to 1:100 for Forex, 1:80 for Gold and Silver, 1:20 for Indices, Commodities, and Oil, and 1:2 for Digital Currencies. Lower leverage ratios are calculated proportionally.

All challenges have a maximum payout of 5%, except Instant Funding which requires a minimum profit target of 2.5%.

Payouts can be requested after 20 trading days.

You can continue trading on your account until you reach the profit target — there is no time limit.

Yes — an internal KYC is mandatory to align with AML policies. If you don't pass the KYC, we are not able to process a payout.

After your first successful payout, top-performing traders are automatically promoted to the Solex Trader Program. This is our scaling initiative designed to reward consistent professional traders with larger capital and access to our premium tier.

Upon receiving your first payout from a 100K account, you'll be promoted to a 200K Solex Trader Account. Already on a 200K account? You'll be upgraded to our Solex Trader tier maintaining the 200K balance with refined professional rules.

The Solex Trader Account is designed for serious professional traders. The rules are refined to match a professional risk management approach:

• Minimum trading frequency: at least 2 trades per trading day.
• No overnight positions: all positions must be closed before market session ends.
• Maximum drawdown: reduced to 6% (from 8%).
• News trading: restricted from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after high-impact news events (NFP, CPI, FOMC, ECB, BoE, BoJ, GDP, Unemployment) as published on the Forex Factory calendar.
• Maximum lot size: capped at 2% of account balance per trade for risk consistency.
• Single trade profit: capped at 20% of the total profit target.
• Stop loss: mandatory on every trade (3-strike rule applies — see “Why mandatory stop loss?” below).

These rules reflect industry-standard practices for professional capital management.

Professional capital management requires consistent, controlled risk-taking. The Solex Trader Account rules promote diversified trade execution and prevent over-concentration on single positions, in line with how professional trading firms manage portfolios.

Promotion to the Solex Trader Account is automatic upon first payout. If you prefer to remain on standard rules, you may continue trading the 100K standard account in parallel through a new evaluation purchase.

Profit split remains 80% on Solex Trader Accounts (1-Step and 2-Step Challenges) following our standard scaling rules.

No. The Solex Trader Program applies exclusively to the Two-Step Challenge (1:50 and 1:100) and the One-Step Challenge, in both 100K and 200K account sizes. Instant Funding is not eligible — it does not scale from 100K to 200K, and instead follows its own profit-split scaling model (starting at 40%, rising 5% per consecutive approved payout, capped at 80%).

Discipline. Every professional trader uses stop loss because that's how sustainable trading works. We apply a 3-strike rule for missing stop losses: the first time you place a trade without a stop loss, you receive an automatic warning (Strike 1). The second time, you receive a second warning with a dashboard alert (Strike 2). On the third occurrence, your Solex Trader tier challenge is failed.

Solex Trader tier rules are split into two categories:

Hard rules — immediate breach (no warning):

• Lot size greater than 2% of balance per trade
• Single trade profit greater than 20% of profit target
• Trading during restricted news windows (5 minutes before/after high-impact events)
• Daily drawdown exceeded
• Maximum drawdown exceeded
• Holding overnight
• Holding over weekend

Soft rule — 3-strike system (only for missing stop loss):

• 3 strikes without stop loss → Solex Trader tier challenge failed

Hard rule breaches close the account immediately. Soft rule (no SL) gives 2 warnings before failure.

It's calculated when each trade closes. Formula: (profit of single trade) ÷ (total profit target of the account). If the result exceeds 20%, your Solex Trader tier account is breached.

Example for a 100K Solex Trader Account: profit target = 8% of $100,000 = $8,000. Maximum profit allowed on any single trade = 20% of $8,000 = $1,600. If you close a trade with a profit greater than $1,600, your account is breached.

We use the Forex Factory free API to track high-impact news. Restricted events include:

• US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP)
• US, EU, UK Consumer Price Index (CPI)
• FOMC, ECB, BoE, BoJ rate decisions
• GDP releases for major economies
• Unemployment rate releases for major economies

You cannot open a new trade in the window from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after the scheduled release time. Trades already open before the window can still be closed during the window, but new trades cannot be opened.

Yes. Solex Trader tier is revocable if:

• You go inactive for 30+ days
• You voluntarily request reversion to Standard 100K

These reversions move the account back to Standard 100K with retained payout history (no breach, no loss of progress).

After you request a payout, it may take up to 5 working days for the funds to be processed and received.

The Solex Trader Program is our automatic scaling initiative. Upon your first approved payout, your Funded Account is automatically upgraded to a Solex Trader Account with a 200K balance and refined rules: 6% maximum drawdown, lot size cap of 2% per trade, no overnight positions, restricted news trading window (±5 min around high-impact events), mandatory stop loss (3-strike rule), single trade profit cap of 20% of profit target, and minimum 2 trades per day. Profit split remains 80% in your favor. Promotion is automatic and at Solex Funding's sole discretion. Full rules: solexfunding.io/solex-trader-program

Note: this scaling applies exclusively to 100K and 200K Funded Accounts. Smaller account sizes (10K, 25K, 50K) do not auto-promote at first payout and continue on standard Funded Account terms with the same 80% profit split.

You can initiate withdrawal requests via your dashboard, processed within 48 to 72 hours. The minimum withdrawal amount is $100.

Withdrawals are made through Rise. Funds are transferred to your Rise account, allowing you to choose between crypto or wire transfer for withdrawal.

Only for the 2-Step Challenge: the evaluation fee is refunded upon reaching the first payout on the Funded Account. For the 1-Step Challenge and Instant Funding, no fee refund is available. Refunds are not issued immediately after purchase or upon passing the evaluation.

Yes — but only on the Two-Step Challenge program, and only when your first payout request on the Funded Account is approved. The original challenge fee is added to your first payout disbursement as a single combined transfer. The fee refund does not apply to the One-Step Challenge or Instant Funding programs.

The fee refund is conditional on a first approved payout. If your Funded Account is lost — for example through a drawdown breach, rule violation, or account inactivity — before a first payout is approved, the fee refund is not due.

For the one-step and two-step challenges, the profit split is always 80%. For Instant Funding, the profit split starts at 40% on your first payout and increases by 5% with each consecutive approved payout, up to a cap of 80% (reached at your 9th payout). Instant Funding capital stays at the purchased level (maximum 100K) and is not part of the Solex Trader Program.

Your certificate will be available on the Dashboard once you receive your simulated funded account.

A discount is offered for a retry on the same or larger challenge size if you fail the evaluation within the given period.

It depends on the specific case — please contact support for assistance.
