How FundedSmart evaluations work

Three paths. Same idea: prove discipline in a simulated account with published rules.

FundedSmart evaluations use simulated accounts — not live brokerage accounts. Rewards are not guaranteed. See Risk Disclosure.

How it works

Four steps from purchase to funded stage

  1. 01

    Choose your plan

    Pick Instant, One Step, or Two Step and a simulated account size.

  2. 02

    Pay the service fee

    Fees cover platform access and the evaluation framework — not a deposit.

  3. 03

    Trade to published criteria

    Hit targets and trading-day requirements while respecting loss limits.

  4. 04

    Funded stage & rewards

    Continue under funded-stage rules. Rewards follow policy — never guaranteed.
