Frequently Asked Questions

Getting started is simple. Choose your tier ($500, $1,000, $2,500, or $5,000), complete the registration process, and receive immediate access to your funded account. There's no evaluation phase or challenge to pass - you start trading with real capital from day one.

No. Unlike typical prop firms, IFT provides direct funding with no challenges, evaluations, or demo phases. You receive your funded account immediately after registration and can start trading right away.

We support MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5). You can choose your preferred platform during registration. All platforms connect to our institutional liquidity through Zentra Capital's infrastructure.

The profit target is 20% of your allocated capital at each stage. For example, if you have $25,000 in capital, you need to generate $5,000 in profit (20%) to advance to the next stage and double your capital.

The maximum drawdown is 10% from your starting balance (static drawdown). This means if you start with $10,000, you cannot let your balance drop below $9,000. There are no daily drawdown limits or trailing drawdowns.

We have minimal restrictions. You can:

• Trade any style (scalping, day trading, swing trading)
• Trade any instruments available on the platform
• Hold positions overnight or over weekends
• Trade during news events
• Use EAs or automated systems

There are no lot size limits or time restrictions.

Yes, EAs and automated trading systems are fully permitted. However, toxic trading strategies such as high-frequency tick scalping, latency arbitrage, or exploiting system glitches are prohibited.

You keep up to 80% of profits generated. The profit split varies by stage:

• Stage 1-2: 80% to trader
• Stage 3: 70% to trader
• Stage 4: 60% to trader
• Stage 5: 50% to trader

For example, at Stage 1-2, if you make $10,000 in profit, you receive $8,000.

Profit splits are paid automatically on the 1st of each month. You can also request withdrawals at any time through your dashboard.

We support multiple payment methods:

• Bank wire transfers
• Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT)
• Major e-wallets

Payment processing typically takes 1-7 business days depending on the method chosen.

Our program has 5 stages. Each time you hit the 20% profit target while staying within drawdown limits, you advance to the next stage with double the capital.

Stage progression multipliers:

• Stage 1: 10x your deposit
• Stage 2: 20x your deposit
• Stage 3: 40x your deposit
• Stage 4: 80x your deposit
• Stage 5: 200x your deposit

Through our standard program with a $5,000 deposit, you can scale up to $1,000,000 at Stage 5 (200x your initial deposit). Larger deposits scale proportionally:

• $500 deposit → up to $100,000
• $1,000 deposit → up to $200,000
• $2,500 deposit → up to $500,000
• $5,000 deposit → up to $1,000,000
