Frequently asked questions
Welcome to the Ifinza FAQ! We believe in transparency and making sure you have all the information you need. Find answers to common questions below, organized by category. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please contact our support team.
General
What is Ifinza?
Ifinza is a proprietary trading evaluation firm. We provide traders with the opportunity to prove their skills through our challenge programs (Ifinza Pro & Ifinza Sprint). Successful traders gain access to a funded account where they can earn a significant share (90%) of the profits generated, based on their simulated performance.
Why should I trust Ifinza? What makes you different?
We built Ifinza because we were tired of prop firm games. Our core difference lies in our commitment to fairness and transparency:
- STATIC Drawdowns ONLY: No confusing trailing drawdowns that punish success. Our rules are clear and calculated from your starting balance.
- Simple Rules: No minimum/maximum trading days, no consistency rules. Focus on trading. High 90% Profit Split: From day one on your funded account.
- Fast Weekly Payouts: Get your earnings reliably and quickly.
- Refundable Fee: Your challenge fee is returned with your first profit split.
- Transparency: We clearly outline our rules, fees, and processes. We succeed when you succeed.
Are the funded accounts real money? Am I trading live capital?
Like most modern prop evaluation firms, Ifinza provides simulated trading accounts with virtual funds for both the challenge and funded stages. This allows us to offer funding opportunities widely without the regulatory constraints of managing client deposits. However, the profit split is real money – successful traders are rewarded with real payouts based on their performance in the simulated environment according to our agreement. Ifinza is NOT a broker.
Do you partner with real brokers or liquidity providers?
Yes, we partner with reputable liquidity providers and technology partners (like TradeLocker) to ensure realistic market conditions, reliable data feeds, and efficient execution simulation within our platform.
Challenge Rules & Trading
What are the drawdown rules? How do they work?
We ONLY use STATIC Drawdowns – designed to be fair and clear:
- Maximum Overall Drawdown: 10% for Ifinza Pro, 6% for Ifinza Sprint. This is calculated solely from your initial starting balance and never moves up (it doesn’t trail). Profits build a genuine buffer.
- Maximum Daily Drawdown: 5% for Ifinza Pro, 4% for Ifinza Sprint. This is calculated solely from your balance at the start of the trading day (00:00 server time). It resets daily and doesn’t punish intra-day profits.
Are drawdowns calculated based on Balance or Equity?
Our Maximum Daily Drawdown is calculated based on the starting daily balance/equity (whichever is higher at the start of the day). Our Maximum Overall Drawdown is STATIC based on the initial account balance. This system avoids breaches caused by floating profits.
Are there Minimum or Maximum Trading Days?
No! There are ZERO Minimum Trading Days and UNLIMITED Maximum Trading Days for both Ifinza Pro and Ifinza Sprint challenges. Take the time you need – focus on quality trades, not the clock.
Are there any hidden Consistency Rules?
No! We have ZERO Consistency Rules. We believe strict consistency rules are often arbitrary and unnecessary. Manage your risk according to the clear drawdown rules, and you’re good to go.
Can I trade during News events?
Yes! News trading is fully allowed on all Ifinza accounts (Challenge and Funded).
Can I hold trades Overnight or Over the Weekend?
Yes! Overnight and Weekend holding is fully allowed for applicable instruments.
Can I hold trades Overnight or Over the Weekend?
Yes! Overnight and Weekend holding is fully allowed for applicable instruments.
Are EAs (Expert Advisors) or Algos allowed?
Yes! EAs and Algos are allowed.
However, your strategy must be unique. Using off-the-shelf EAs used by many others simultaneously, engaging in restricted practices like high-frequency latency arbitrage, or copy trading between different user accounts is not permitted. (Please see our Terms for full details on allowed trading practices).
What Leverage is offered?
We offer competitive leverage based on the asset class.
Examples include up to 1:100 for Forex pairs. Leverage for Indices, Commodities, and Crypto will vary. You can see specific leverage details within the TradeLocker platform per instrument.
What instruments can I trade?
You can trade a wide range of instruments including
Forex, Indices, Commodities, and Cryptocurrencies (24/7!) via the TradeLocker platform.
The exact list is available within TradeLocker.
Is there a Maximum Risk per trade I must follow?
No, Ifinza does not impose a maximum risk per trade rule. Risk management is your responsibility within the overall drawdown limits. Your strategy, your risk call.
What happens if my account is inactive?
If an account (Challenge or Funded) shows no trading activity for an extended period (typically 30 consecutive days), it may be considered inactive and subject to breach or closure. We encourage active participation.
Evaluation Process (Pro & Sprint)
What's the difference between Ifinza Pro (2-Step) and Ifinza Sprint (1-Step)?
Both offer the same great STATIC rules, 90% split, weekly payouts, and account sizes. The maindifference is the evaluation structure:
- Pro (2-Step): A classic evaluation with two phases (Phase 1: 8% target, Phase 2: 5% target) and a larger 10% overall static drawdown.
- Sprint (1-Step): A faster path with just one phase (10% target) and a tighter 6% overall static drawdown.
What are the Profit Targets?
Ifinza Pro: Phase 1 = 8%, Phase 2 = 5%.
Ifinza Sprint: Phase 1 = 10%.
Funded Account: There are no mandatory profit targets on the funded account
stage to receive payouts.
What are the Challenge prices? Is the fee refundable?
Prices are the same for Pro or Sprint:
- $10,000 Account: $129 USD
- $25,000 Account: $199 USD
- $50,000 Account: $299 USD Yes! This is a one-time fee, and it is 100% Refundable when you receive your first profit split from your funded account.
How does the fee refund work?
Once you are trading your funded account and request your first profit split (minimum $50), your initial challenge fee will be automatically added to that payout amount.

Funded Account & Payouts
What is the Profit Split on the Funded Account?
You keep 90% of the profits you generate from Day ONE of trading your funded account.
When can I request my first payout? How often after that?
You are eligible for your first payout just 7 calendar days after placing your first trade on your funded account.
After that, you can request payouts WEEKLY.
What is the minimum payout amount?
The minimum withdrawal amount is just $50 USD.
How are payouts processed? What methods do you support?
Payouts are
typically processed within 1-2 business days after request. We support [Specify Methods: e.g., Bank Transfers (via partners like Deel/Riset), Cryptocurrencies (e.g., BTC, ETH, USDC)].
Does making a withdrawal affect my drawdown limits?
No, making a withdrawal does not change your STATIC drawdown limits (which are based on the initial funded balance or the balance at the start of the scaling cycle). However, withdrawing profits naturally reduces your account balance/equity buffer above the drawdown limit.
Scaling Plan
How does the Ifinza Scaling Plan work?
We reward consistent profitability!
- Trigger: Achieve a 10% profit on your current funded account balance (relative to its starting balance for that cycle) AND request at least one payout.
- Reward: Your account balance is increased by 50% for the next trading cycle (e.g., a $50k account scales to $75k).
- Review: Eligibility is reviewed every 3 months. You need to have been profitable in at least 2 out of those 3 months to qualify for scaling.
When can I request my first payout? How often after that?
You are eligible for your first payout just 7 calendar days after placing your first trade on your funded account.
After that, you can request payouts WEEKLY.
Do the drawdown rules change when I scale?
The percentage rules (e.g., 10% Max Overall Static DD for a Pro graduate) remain the same, but they apply to the new, higher scaled balance.
Account Access & Platform (TradeLocker)
What trading platform does Ifinza use?
We exclusively use TradeLocker, a modern, web-based platform designed for prop traders. It includes integrated TradingView charts, mobile access, and tools built around our challenge rules.
