A structured way to prove trading discipline in a simulated environment
TradeIQ Capital is an India-focused simulated trader evaluation and analytics platform. Traders use a virtual evaluation balance and follow published performance, drawdown and activity rules while the platform records progress, risk usage, trading history and rule status.
The purpose is not simply to reach a profit target. The evaluation is designed to measure whether a trader can pursue performance while controlling losses, maintaining consistency and following the selected evaluation rules.
Measure risk and consistency
Track target progress, daily and overall drawdown, active trading days, completed trades and rule status from one evaluation workspace.
Build a reviewable performance record
When the required conditions are completed, the account may enter manual rule, risk, KYC and integrity review for funded-stage or reward eligibility.
Evaluation paths
Choose the evaluation path that matches how you trade
TradeIQ Capital offers 1-Step and 2-Step simulated trading evaluations for Indian traders. Both paths use virtual balances, published drawdown rules and dashboard tracking. The main difference is how many stages you complete and how your performance is verified before manual review.

Included in both evaluation paths
Whichever structure you choose, the evaluation remains virtual, rules-based and visible through the TradeIQ dashboard.
Virtual evaluation balance
Account values are simulated and used to measure evaluation performance and rule compliance.
Published rules before enrolment
Targets, drawdown limits and core requirements are available before a plan is selected.
Dashboard rule tracking
Monitor target progress, drawdown usage, active days and account status during the evaluation.
Manual eligibility review
Completion is followed by applicable rule, KYC, risk and integrity checks before any funded-stage or reward decision.
Which evaluation path should you choose?
Neither path is universally easier. Compare the number of stages, target structure, minimum active days, maximum duration and fee before choosing the evaluation you can follow most consistently.
Choose 1-Step when
- You prefer one evaluation phase before manual review.
- You are comfortable working toward one defined performance target under the complete 1-Step rule set.
- Completing fewer evaluation stages matters more to you than using a staged verification process.
Choose 2-Step when
- You prefer performance to be verified across two separate phases.
- You want to demonstrate repeatable rule-following before manual review.
- You are comfortable completing an additional verification stage in exchange for staged performance targets.
Choose based on the rule structure you can follow consistently—not only the virtual balance or headline fee.
All displayed balances are virtual evaluation values. Plan fees provide access to the evaluation service; they are not deposits, investments, margin or personal trading capital. Completing an evaluation creates eligibility for review only.
Built for Indian markets
A simulated evaluation built for NIFTY 50 and Indian F&O traders
TradeIQ Capital is designed for traders who follow Indian-market instruments—not a generic global-market template. Use supported NIFTY 50 and Indian futures and options instruments in a virtual evaluation while tracking targets, drawdown, active days and rule status in Indian rupees.
Instrument availability follows the active TradeIQ instrument list. Every eligible symbol and contract remains subject to the selected evaluation rules, including drawdown limits, holding-time requirements, position restrictions and prohibited-conduct checks.
NIFTY 50 market focus
Evaluate strategies using supported NIFTY 50 instruments without having to move your process into a forex- or CFD-led evaluation environment.
Indian futures and options
Use supported Indian index futures and options, with valid contract expiries available through the platform instrument selector where enabled.
INR-native evaluation
View virtual balances, plan fees, performance targets and drawdown usage in Indian rupees throughout the evaluation experience.
Published instrument eligibility
See which symbols, segments and contract types are supported before starting. Instruments outside the active list remain unavailable for evaluation trading.
Before trading NIFTY or F&O
Check instrument fit, risk fit and rule fit first
Indian market evaluations work best when the trader knows which contracts are enabled, how expiry risk affects position sizing, and how each simulated trade maps to the selected plan rules.
Instrument fit
Confirm the symbol, segment, expiry and contract type are enabled before planning a trade.
Risk fit
Size every NIFTY or F&O position from the drawdown buffer, not from the headline virtual balance.
Review fit
Keep trades easy to audit with clear entries, exits and rule-compliant holding behaviour.
All trading within TradeIQ evaluations is simulated. TradeIQ Capital does not provide brokerage, direct exchange access or investment advice.
NIFTY 50 is referenced only to identify supported simulated instruments. TradeIQ Capital is not affiliated with or endorsed by NSE, NSE Indices Limited or any stock exchange.
How the evaluation works
From choosing an evaluation to completing manual review
Every TradeIQ Capital evaluation follows a defined process. Choose a 1-Step or 2-Step path, trade with a virtual balance, monitor performance and risk conditions, and complete account review before any funded-stage or reward decision.
- 01
Choose your evaluation path
Compare the 1-Step and 2-Step structures, select an available virtual balance, and review the applicable fee, performance target, drawdown rules and minimum activity requirements before enrolling.
- Choose the evaluation structure that matches your preferred verification process.
- Select an available virtual balance from the published plans.
- Read the applicable pricing and rules before making a payment.
- 02
Trade in the virtual evaluation environment
Use the selected virtual balance to place simulated trades in the instruments supported by TradeIQ Capital. The evaluation dashboard records target progress, daily and overall drawdown, active days, trade history and current rule status.
- Evaluation balances are virtual and are not personal trading capital.
- Only instruments supported by the platform may be used.
- Performance and risk usage remain visible throughout the evaluation.
- 03
Meet performance and risk conditions
Reach the applicable performance target while remaining within daily and overall drawdown limits, completing the required active days, respecting minimum holding-time requirements and following the platform’s conduct rules.
- The applicable performance target must be completed.
- Daily and overall drawdown limits must remain unbreached.
- Activity, holding-time and conduct requirements must also be satisfied.
- 04
Complete rule and account review
After all applicable evaluation conditions are met, the account enters manual review. TradeIQ Capital may verify rule compliance, KYC, payment details, trading behaviour and account integrity before issuing an approval, hold or rejection decision.
- Evaluation completion is checked against the applicable rule set.
- KYC, payment and identity verification may be required.
- Funded-stage or reward eligibility is not automatic.
Reaching a performance target does not override a rule breach. An evaluation is complete only when the applicable target, risk, activity, holding-time and conduct requirements have all been satisfied.
Transparent evaluation rules
Know every limit before you place your first trade
TradeIQ Capital publishes the performance, drawdown, activity and conduct rules used to assess every simulated evaluation. Your applicable limits remain visible through the platform so that you can understand the target, current risk usage and account status before taking the next trade.
Reaching the performance target is only one requirement. An evaluation can move to manual review only when the applicable loss limits, active-day requirements, holding-time rules, instrument conditions and integrity standards have also been satisfied.

Rule 01
The performance target is only one condition
Reach the target assigned to the selected evaluation path while every applicable drawdown, activity, holding-time and conduct rule remains satisfied. Reaching the target after a material breach does not complete the evaluation.
Target progress does not override a breach.
Rule 02
Daily drawdown limits short-term risk
The account must remain within the published daily drawdown threshold throughout each applicable trading day. TradeIQ displays the current threshold and risk usage so that traders can understand how much daily loss allowance remains.
Current daily threshold, risk used and remaining allowance are tracked in the evaluation workspace.
Rule 03
Overall drawdown protects the evaluation account
The virtual account must remain above the published overall drawdown threshold throughout the evaluation. The dashboard should reflect the applicable threshold and remaining overall risk allowance using the same calculation implemented by the TradeIQ risk engine.
Overall allowance is measured against the selected plan's published loss limit.
Rule 04
Activity and trade-level rules still apply
Minimum active days, minimum holding time, maximum loss-per-trade limits, supported-instrument requirements and prohibited-conduct rules continue to apply even after the performance target has been reached. Where applicable to the selected plan or stage.
Completion requires every applicable condition, not only profit.
What completes an evaluation
An evaluation can move to manual review only after every applicable requirement has been satisfied.
- The applicable performance target has been reached.
- Daily and overall drawdown limits remain unbreached.
- Required active or trading days have been completed.
- Holding-time and trade-level limits have been respected, where applicable.
- Only supported instruments and permitted trading behaviour were used.
- The account passes the applicable manual review checks.
What can fail an account or trigger review
A material rule breach may fail the evaluation immediately, while unusual trading, identity or payment activity may require additional review.
- Exceeding the daily or overall drawdown threshold.
- Exceeding a maximum loss-per-trade limit where applicable.
- Closing trades before the required minimum holding time.
- Using an unsupported symbol, segment or contract.
- Account sharing, duplicate-account abuse or coordinated trading.
- Manipulated trade records, latency abuse or prohibited automation.
- KYC, identity, payment or account-integrity inconsistencies.
The complete rulebook remains the authoritative public reference for the applicable limits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about evaluation, rules, and platform boundaries.
TradeIQ Capital is an India-focused simulated trader evaluation and analytics platform. Traders use virtual evaluation balances while performance, risk control, consistency, and rule discipline are reviewed before they may become eligible for funded-stage or reward review.
TradeIQ Capital is designed as a simulated trader evaluation platform where traders can prove their trading discipline through rule-based challenges. Funded-stage or reward eligibility depends on challenge completion, performance metrics, risk review, rule compliance, KYC, and approval.
No. TradeIQ Capital does not provide trading signals, buy/sell recommendations, copy trading, research advice, or investment advisory services. Traders make their own independent trading decisions.
Evaluation challenge accounts use simulated capital unless clearly stated otherwise. The challenge is used to assess trading discipline, risk management, consistency, and rule compliance.
No. Passing the challenge makes a trader eligible for review only. Reward or funded-stage approval depends on performance metrics, rule compliance, KYC, risk review, account review, and internal approval.
The 2 Step challenge has two evaluation stages with defined performance targets and drawdown rules. The 1 Step challenge is a shorter evaluation path with its own F&O and Stocks risk rules. Both require disciplined trading and rule compliance.
A challenge can fail due to daily drawdown breach, overall drawdown breach, rule violation, suspicious activity, failure to meet minimum trading requirements, or manual risk review decisions.
Reward requests are reviewed manually. The review may include account status, rule compliance, trading history, KYC, payment status, unresolved violations, and platform terms before approval.
TradeIQ Capital is built for traders who understand the risks of trading and can follow structured rules. Beginners may use the platform to assess discipline, but they should not treat the evaluation as financial advice, assured income, or a route to guaranteed rewards.
