Key rules in Crypto Fund Trader’s own words

Quoted verbatim from Crypto Fund Trader’s published trading rules, so you see the exact wording that decides a breach — not our paraphrase.

“You can request a scholarship reward after trading for at least 15 days, or alternatively, every 30 calendar days, as long as no program rules have been violated.”
— Payout cadence, Crypto Fund Trader rules
“The maximum simulated profit allowed per day and/or per trade is $10,000. If the account equity reaches more than $10,000 in simulated profit in a single day and/or from a single trade, any active trades may be closed, and any amount above the $10,000 limit may be deducted.”
— Daily profit cap, Crypto Fund Trader rules
“Reverse trading is not allowed when opposite positions are opened at the same time for 60 seconds or longer.”
— Reverse trading, Crypto Fund Trader rules
“The Consistency Rule applies only to Break Final Stage accounts. No single trading day may account for more than 40% of the total profits generated on the account.”
— Consistency rule (Break only), Crypto Fund Trader rules

    Break (pay-on-pass: $70 / $139 / $199 up front, $138 / $198 / $328 activation only after you pass) cannot currently be bought: /break-challenge/ shows SOLD OUT with its buy list switched off, the homepage selector no longer offers it, and the shop rejects an add-to-cart for every Break product (the three legacy May product pages, /product/25-000-break-evaluation/ and its 50K/100K siblings, now return 404).

How to play Crypto Fund Trader

Model-specific observations about their rules and mechanics. Educational only — not trading or investment advice.

Pick the ladder by drawdown, not by price: the 1-Phase ($369 on the $50K) runs a 6% trailing drawdown and a 4% daily limit, while the 2-Phase ($389) adds a second phase but gives you a static 10% overall and 5% daily — and only the 2-Phase can buy the 6% daily / 12% max drawdown add-ons.

Read moreShow less

On both, the 0-minimum-days headline is about passing, not getting paid: rewards need 15 traded days unless you buy the weekly add-on. Trading Bybit? Stick to USDT pairs — USDC trades simply do not count. Instant accounts run 1:5 on crypto, so size accordingly.

Break and Ascend still have pages on the site, but neither can be bought right now.

Recommended pick
$50k 2-Phase: $389 | $50k 1-Phase: $369
