FundingTraders Try Out: how to get a free $1,000 1-Step Pro account with real payouts

FundingTraders is giving away a free $1,000 1-Step Pro challenge called Try Out. There is no entry fee, no card and no deposit at any stage. Traders who pass it and complete KYC receive a free $1,000 funded account with real-cash payouts, up to $500 over the lifetime of the account.

The Try Out cannot be claimed from FundingTraders' regular sign-up page: it only appears for accounts registered through a specific Try Out link. TheGodFunded readers can get it here: claim your free $1,000 Try Out.

How to claim it

1. Register through the Try Out registration page.
2. Verify your email. The link takes you straight to the Try Out page in your dashboard.
3. Answer a short trading survey and confirm your phone number.
4. Click Claim and accept the Terms of Service.
5. Receive the credentials of your $1,000 1-Step Pro challenge by email.

It is open to new users only and runs on MT5 only. Each person can receive one Try Out account; duplicates are closed and forfeit any payouts. Add-ons such as profit split upgrades, payout schedule changes, Zero Fees or resets are not available.

Challenge rules

• Profit target: 10% ($100), measured on balance with all positions closed.
• Daily loss limit: 3% of the account size, relative to the starting day's equity. Floating losses count.
• Maximum loss limit: 10% trailing from the highest recorded balance. It moves up as the balance grows and never moves back down.
• Maximum risk per trade idea: 2% of the initial balance ($20), in both the challenge and the funded phase. Positions in the same symbol and direction open at the same time, or reopened within 2 minutes, count as one idea.
• Minimum trading days: 2, with no time limit to complete the challenge.

Breaching the daily loss, maximum loss or risk per trade idea rule closes the account immediately. Try Out accounts cannot be reset, so a failed account stays closed.

Trading conditions

News trading is unrestricted during the challenge. In the funded phase, no more than 30% of total profits can come from trades opened, held or closed within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news release. Trades opened at least 5 hours before the release are not counted as news trades.

Leverage goes up to 1:50 on FX majors, 1:30 on minors and exotics, 1:15 on indices, 1:10 on metals and oil, and 1:1 on commodities and crypto. The funded account is charged a $3 round-trip commission per lot on all instruments except indices; there are no commissions during the challenge.

Funded account and payouts

The funded account is also a $1,000 1-Step Pro account on MT5, delivered after KYC with no activation fee. Its main conditions are:

• Profit split: fixed 80%, with no upgrades.
• Payout cap: $500 in total over the lifetime of the account.
• Payout frequency: every 21 days, counted from the first trade on the funded account.
• Payout requirements: at least 2 trading days, a minimum of $25 in profit, a consistency score at or below 50% (the best day cannot exceed half of total profits) and all positions and orders closed.
• Payout methods: Rise bank transfer (minimum $200) or USDT-ERC20 via Coinbase Commerce (minimum $50), processed within 24 to 48 hours, excluding weekends.

While a payout is being processed, the account is reset to $1,000 so the trader can keep trading. If the account fails within 48 hours of the request, the payout is denied and the amount is credited back to the balance.

Is it worth it?

It costs nothing, so the only thing at stake is your time. The Try Out is a real way to test FundingTraders' rules, platform and payout process before spending money on a paid challenge. The $500 cap limits the upside; for larger accounts and uncapped payouts, compare the paid programs on the FundingTraders page.
