Evaluation Basics

A trader evaluation challenge is a structured assessment where traders must meet a performance target while staying within drawdown limits and other trading rules. The goal is to assess skill, consistency, and risk discipline.

A rule-based evaluation helps assess traders more fairly by tracking performance, drawdown control, consistency, and rule discipline instead of only looking at profit.

After passing, the account may move to manual review. The review checks performance quality, rule compliance, risk behaviour, account status, KYC, and reward eligibility before any funded-stage or reward decision.

Manual review helps ensure traders are not assessed only by performance. It allows the platform to review risk behaviour, consistency, rule discipline, KYC, and suspicious activity before review decisions.

Challenge Rules and Risk Limits

Daily trailing drawdown is the maximum loss allowed in a trading day based on the challenge rules. Breaching this limit may lead to challenge failure.

Overall trailing drawdown is the maximum total loss allowed during the evaluation. It helps ensure traders manage risk across the full challenge period.

Risk management is important because profitable trading without discipline can still be unsafe. TradeIQ Capital evaluates traders based on both returns and the way those returns are achieved.

Minimum trade holding time is the shortest amount of time a trade must remain open to count under the challenge rules. This helps discourage unrealistic or abusive trade behaviour.

Minimum trading days or active days are the required number of days a trader must participate in the challenge before becoming eligible for review. This helps assess consistency over time.

Pricing and Plan Selection

The cost depends on the simulated evaluation balance and whether the trader chooses a 1 Step, 2 Step, or funded-stage review path. Compare the published pricing table with the rules before choosing.

Choose the plan that fits your risk discipline. Compare the fee, performance target, drawdown limits, maximum loss per trade, minimum days, holding time, and review requirements. Public visitors should use the trial version first while paid challenges remain closed.

Yes. A future paid challenge fee may be lost if the trader fails the evaluation or breaches the rules. Review the Refund Policy before any purchase.

Trading and Platform Usage

As of now we offer only NIFTY200 symbols for trading. Tradable instruments depend on the platform's supported market data, rules, and future integrations. Users should always check the active challenge rules before trading.

No, at a time a trader can only participate in one active challenge. Although traders may be able to purchase multiple challenges, they must complete or fail the current active challenge before starting another. This helps ensure focus and rule compliance.

In the current platform flow, trades may be entered manually. Broker or market data integrations may be added later where supported.

Yes. Evaluation challenges use virtual evaluation balances or paper-trading style assessment accounts. Traders should review the applicable rules before participating.

No. TradeIQ Capital does not place trades for users, manage user portfolios, or execute trades on behalf of users.

Funded-Stage and Reward Review

No. Passing a challenge makes the trader eligible for review only, and final decisions depend on rule compliance, risk review, KYC, account review, and approval.

Funded-stage review is decided after reviewing performance metrics such as consistency, drawdown behaviour, rule compliance, trade quality, KYC, and risk discipline. The displayed range is not automatic.

Yes. Reward requests may be rejected if there are unresolved rule violations, payment issues, suspicious activity, KYC issues, account issues, or failure to meet platform terms.

Where eligible and approved, the published approved reward share is 80% to the trader and 20% to TradeIQ Capital. Reward requests are subject to eligibility, rule compliance, KYC, review, verification, and platform approval.

Compliance and Safety

No. TradeIQ Capital does not manage user funds, portfolios, or investment decisions. The platform is for trader evaluation and proprietary trading assessment.

No. Trading involves risk, and TradeIQ Capital does not guarantee profits, returns, rewards, income, or challenge success.

No. TradeIQ Capital does not provide investment advisory services, research recommendations, trade signals, stock tips, or buy/sell advice.

No. TradeIQ Capital does not provide copy trading, trade signals, tips, or recommendations. Traders make their own independent decisions.

Clear boundaries help users understand that TradeIQ Capital is an evaluation platform, not an advisory, signal, or copy-trading service. This improves transparency and trust.

Legal and Tax Questions

The answer depends on the exact structure, contracts, instruments, broker relationship, and whether regulated activities such as brokerage or investment advice are involved. TradeIQ Capital operates as a simulated evaluation platform and does not provide brokerage or investment advice.

Tax treatment depends on the trader's facts, income type, entity structure, and applicable law. Traders should consult a qualified Chartered Accountant.

No. It is a review-based platform pathway and should not be treated as assured income or a substitute for independent financial planning.
