Frequently Asked Questions

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua
Question
Will I trade real money in a funded account?
Answer

Yes! Optimal Trader accounts are live accounts funded with real capital (not virtual money). We believe that talented traders shouldn’t be kept on demo accounts.

This is some text inside of a div block.
Question
What’s the profit split?
Answer

The profit split across our challenges is set at 80%. You can go as high as 90% with an add-on for our 2-step challenges.

This is some text inside of a div block.
Question
How do I request my payout?
Answer

Payouts are requested via the “withdrawals” section of the dashboard. Withdrawal requests are allocated a time slot for the given date - so if you don’t see the button right away on your withdrawal date, don’t be alarmed. The option to submit the request will appear during that day.

This is some text inside of a div block.
Question
How often can I withdraw my funds?
Answer

Withdrawals as standard are 30 days for the 1st payout, followed by every 14 days thereafter. Add ons are available for alternative payout durations.

This is some text inside of a div block.
Question
What is the payout waiting period?
Answer

Once a request is submitted the reviews are aimed to be completed within 3 business days. Once the request is approved, please allow up to an additional 3 business days for your payout to be processed to your chosen payout method.

Question
When do I submit my KYC?

After your request is submitted and review is complete, you will receive an email asking you to complete your KYC submission. Once verified your request will enter the final stage before completion.
