We have risk management software that is synced with the accounts we create. This allows us to analyze your performance in real-time for achievements or rule violations. As such, you must use an account that we provide.

ICT PFH Funded a broker?
ICT Funded is not a brokerage firm. Instead, we provide our clients with simulated trading accounts that mimic real-world market conditions. To gain access to these demo accounts, clients must first complete a multi-step evaluation process, which consists of either one, two, or three stages.
What is a Simulated Funded Account at ICT Funded, and how does it work?
Upon successful completion of the evaluations and receipt of their certificate, contractors will gain access to a Simulated Funded Account (Simulation) funded with virtual funds. Please note that this account is entirely simulated, mirroring real market data and clearing from liquidity providers. Our risk management team manages the trading data, which is then sent to a partnered proprietary trading firm. The firm may choose to copy trades using their own risk management techniques and aggregated orders. It's important to understand that: We do not provide real funds. Members pay a fee for an educational trading evaluation. Successful…
What rules apply to my Funded Account?
The rules for the Funded Account are the same as those for the Evaluation Account. However, the Funded Account includes an account growth target.
Once I pass the Evaluation, will I receive a demo account or a Funded Account?
Once you pass the Evaluation, we will provide you with a Funded Account backed by our capital. The capital in your Funded Account is notional and may not directly correspond to the actual funds on deposit with the broker. A Funded Account is considered notionally funded when the actual equity in the account differs from the nominal account size, which represents the initial account value and trading level.
How long does it take to receive my Funded Account?
Upon passing your Evaluation, you must sign your Trader Agreement through the dashboard. Once the agreement is completed and the required documentation is provided, your Funded Account will typically be created, funded, and issued within 24-48 business hours.
How can I withdraw the gains from my Funded Account?
Traders can request a withdrawal of their gains from the Funded Account at any time through their trader dashboard, but no more than twice within a 30-day period. To withdraw, simply click the Withdrawals button in the dashboard and enter the desired amount. Once approved, withdrawals can be processed through any available method. Currently, we offer both crypto payouts and fiat payouts via bank transfer.
Do we manipulate the pricing or executions in the Funded Account?
No, we do not manipulate the pricing or executions in your Funded Account. We operate independently from the Broker, and all market pricing and trade executions are provided directly by the Broker without any modifications from us. Additionally, we do not alter transaction costs set by the Broker, including bid-offer spreads, markups/markdowns, commission charges, or swaps.
Am I subject to any position limits in my Funded Account?
We reserve the right to limit the number of open positions you can hold in your Funded Account at any time. Additionally, we may adjust drawdown levels that could result in trading being halted based on market conditions. Both the Broker and we retain the right to refuse any order at our discretion.
What defines account inactivity?
Account inactivity is determined as follows: If your account remains inactive for 30 calendar days, it will be considered breached. This applies to both Evaluation and simulated Funded Accounts. If you do not log in for 30 days, your account will be automatically deleted from the platform, resulting in a hard breach.
Are Expert Advisors (EAs) allowed?
Yes, you can use Expert Advisors (EAs), but they must comply with our prohibited trading practices rule. High-frequency trading (HFT) strategies and Gold Arbitrage EAs are strictly prohibited.
Am I allowed to trade during news events?
You are allowed to trade during news events; however, any profits made within a 4-minute window (2 minutes before and 2 minutes after) of high-impact news events will be canceled. While you can keep trades open during this period, you will not be able to open or close new positions. Repeated violations of this rule may result in account restrictions. Additionally, any trades placed or closed within the 4-minute window during the evaluation phase will also lead to account restrictions. High-impact news events are identified by the red folder on ForexFactory.
What is the minimum number of trading days required?
During the evaluation process, a minimum of 7 trading days is required for 1 Step and 2 Step evaluation accounts. However, there are no minimum trading day requirements for 1 Step, 2 Step, and Direct Funded Accounts.
Are stop loss and take profit mandatory?
While we strongly recommend using stop losses and take profits as part of a solid risk management strategy, they are not mandatory.
What happens if I violate the rules of my account?
If your account is found to violate our rules or prohibited practices, it will be suspended and disqualified from receiving future payouts. However, you will have the option to purchase a new account at a discounted rate.
