IQ Capital removes the time limit on its accounts and adds a futures Core option without activation fee

IQ Capital has removed the time limit on its accounts. Evaluations and Instant Funding accounts purchased since 22 October 2026 have no expiry date and no monthly fees. The only requirement is to place at least one trade every 8 calendar days: accounts with no activity in that period are closed.

In futures, the Core plan can now be bought without an activation fee. This option costs $675 for the $50,000 account and $1,125 for the $100,000 account. The version with an activation fee remains on sale, with a lower entry price and a $129 or $149 fee when the account is funded.

The firm has also lowered the maximum drawdown of the $100,000 futures Core account with position loss limit from $6,000 to $5,000. The change applies to accounts purchased from 9 November 2026; existing accounts keep the $6,000 limit.
