Question 1

The minimum account size is $5,000. Velotrade offers accounts at $5K, $10K, $25K, $50K, $100K, and $200K across all three challenge types (CLASSIC 2-Step, CLASSIC 1-Step, PRO 1-Step).

Question 2

Does Velotrade have a consistency rule?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no consistency rule on any Velotrade account. You can earn any portion of your total profit target from a single day without penalty.

Question 3

Are there any other position rules?

Accepted Answer

No. There are no mandatory position rules. Position size is limited only by the leverage available for each instrument, and the only hard limits are the daily loss limit and the static maximum drawdown.

Question 4

Is there a maximum risk per trade rule?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no cap on risk per trade. Your only hard limits are the daily loss limit and the static maximum drawdown.

Question 5

Is there a mandatory stop-loss rule?

Accepted Answer

No. Stop-losses are not required. You can manage your trades however you like, as long as you stay within your daily loss limit and your static maximum drawdown.

Question 6

Can I trade during news events?

Accepted Answer

Yes. News trading is fully permitted at Velotrade. You can hold positions through FOMC, NFP, CPI, and any other scheduled macro release without restriction.

Question 7

How does Velotrade's drawdown model work?

Accepted Answer

Velotrade uses static drawdown. The floor is set at your starting balance at account creation and never moves. A 10% drawdown limit means your account balance cannot fall more than 10% below your initial starting balance — ever. It does not trail your equity peak.

Question 8

What assets can I trade on a Velotrade account?

Accepted Answer

Velotrade covers five asset classes: crypto (BTC, ETH, SOL and others), forex (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY and others), stocks (TSLA, NVDA, AAPL and others), indices (US500, US100, GER40 and others), and commodities (XAUUSD, XAGUSD, USOIL and others). All accessible from one funded account.

Question 9

How long does it take to get funded?

Accepted Answer

Once you pass your challenge (minimum 5 qualifying trading days), you submit for verification. Verification typically completes within 1–2 business days. Your funded account is provisioned immediately after verification.

Question 10

How do payouts work?

Accepted Answer

Payouts are on demand. Once your funded account has a net profit, you can request a withdrawal at any time. There is no minimum holding period. The default profit split is 80%, upgradeable to 90%.

Question 11

Can I use automated trading strategies on Velotrade?

Accepted Answer

Yes. EAs and automated trading strategies are permitted on all Velotrade challenge and funded accounts. The same risk rules apply regardless of how trades are executed.

Question 12

Can I track my drawdown and daily loss limits on the platform?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Your Maximum Drawdown limit and Maximum Daily Loss limit are displayed on your trading dashboard at all times. The platform handles all the calculations for you automatically, so you never need to track anything manually. Everything is in one place: your drawdown limit, your daily loss limit, and the exact dollar room you have left. Both limits update automatically. The daily loss limit refreshes every day at 00:30 UTC with a new calculation based on your latest balance. The Maximum Drawdown limit is a fixed dollar floor set at account activation and does not move.
