Join the few who make it

Most traders fail prop evaluations. We help you beat the odds.

Independent industry studies suggest only a small fraction of traders pass prop challenges or ever see a payout. Our clear simulations, refundable fees, and broker-backed structure are built to give skilled traders a fair shot.

Questions?

Your trading questions answered

What is a prop firm evaluation?
A structured simulation where you complete performance objectives inside a demo account with virtual funds. It assesses discipline, risk management, and consistency, without trading real money.
Are the funded accounts real money?
Funded accounts are simulated. You trade inside a demo environment with virtual capital that mirrors real-market conditions. No live funds are traded, and all results are simulated.
How does the payout work?
"Real performance" is a performance-based payout calculated from your simulated results. Verified net profits are shared with you from 50% up to 80%, credited so you can withdraw your share, subject to verification and the broker's terms.
Do I get my evaluation fee back?
Yes. Your evaluation fee is refunded when you successfully complete the evaluation and verification in full compliance with the published rules. Refunds apply to evaluation fees only. Instant funding fees are not refundable.
Is this safe for beginners?
Yes. All trading takes place in a simulation using virtual funds, so no trading capital of yours is ever exposed to the market. Your only cost is the programme fee for your chosen pathway.
What is the difference between evaluation and instant funding?
An evaluation is a structured challenge with profit targets and phases, and the fee is refundable on success. Instant funding lets you skip the evaluation and start directly inside a simulated funded account with a payout split from 50% to 80%.
Am I an employee of Smart Online Trader?
No. Using the programs, completing an evaluation, or receiving a simulated account does not create an employment relationship with Smart Online Trader or the broker.
