The rules that shape every QT Funded evaluation, condensed to one line per item.
Fee refund policy
QT Funded refunds the challenge fee — typically with the trader's first payout. Confirm the exact terms on QT Funded's website before purchase.
Why traders fail QT Funded challenges
The most common failure causes are tied directly to QT Funded's rule set — here are the ones to plan around before paying for an evaluation.
- 1
Breaching the relative balance drawdown
QT Funded's drawdown is relative balance, which means the limit moves up as the account grows. Traders who size positions for the starting balance often blow through the limit after a profitable run-up.
Tip: Recalculate your max risk per trade against the current trailing limit, not the starting balance.
- 2
Failing the consistency rule
QT Funded enforces a consistency rule (Optional (35% consistency score Only compulsory with on demand payout & 100% profit split)). One outsized winning day can disqualify the run even if the profit target is hit.
Tip: Spread profit across multiple sessions — don't double down once you're up. Smaller, repeatable winners pass the rule cleanly.
- 3
News trading violations
QT Funded restricts news trading: Restrictions of 5 minutes before or after high Impact News. You may hold or trigger orders placed 5+ minutes before news, but opening, closing, modifying trades, or editing/canceling orders within 5 minutes before/after or during news is strictly prohibited — violations result in a hard breach. A single trade open during the restricted window — even if it's profitable — can breach the rule.
Tip: Flatten exposure 5+ minutes before high-impact releases. Use an economic calendar — don't rely on memory.
- 4
Not meeting the minimum trading days
QT Funded requires at least 4–5 trading days on the evaluation. Hitting the profit target faster doesn't fast-track you — the day count gates the pass.
Tip: Plan for the day count from day 1. Place at least one position-managed trade per required day, even if you're already in profit.
Who QT Funded fits
Good fit if you trade like this:
- Swing traders — positions can be held over the weekend.
- Algorithmic and EA traders — automation is permitted.
- Traders who want funded capital without a multi-week evaluation — instant-funding tier is available.
Look elsewhere if any of these apply:
- News-event traders — releases are off-limits or heavily restricted.
- High-variance traders relying on a single big day — the consistency rule will block the pass.
- Scalpers — short-hold strategies aren't permitted.
