CAFE FUNDING ACCOUNT STAGES

Let's delve into Cafe-Funded Account s in some more detail, starting with the stages of evaluation and becoming your own portfolio account manager.

Forex Funded Account Guidelines

Let’s run through the guidelines to clear the mist on the key metrics of a cafe-funded account.

Evaluation Phase

So, from the moment you open your cafe-funded account with us – we would like to consider you are part of The Trader Cafe team. So, we would like to consider you a business associate.

It’s only fair that we stick to our end of the deal by providing you with the trading platform needed to trade. In return, you’ve use the trading skills you have learned to make metaphorical oranges into juice, as it is all about teamwork.

Your first account will be paper a paper trading account that you place your orders, in turn that is match by a live account, to monitor your progress

Profit Split (70/30)

Once your cafe-funded account with us is live – you will be part of The Trader Cafe team, so we’re going let you have all gains you have make with the basis of the plan. That’s right, no share your profits with us.

Providing you with the platform and trading capital needed to trade.

Capital Growth System

Here we evaluate your cafe-funded accounts by testing your trading abilities and skill set, in environments mirroring real-life market conditions.

Our practical evaluation process works well with both manual trading methodologies and trading strategies alike. Your and our aim here is to use the evaluation phase in order to sustain and elevate trading capital.

Provided you are in the green (making a profit), we can help every calendar month to support you, enabling you to get to a point where trading and earn a living while growing your trading portfolio – at a much faster rate than you can image

Profit Payment Procedure

When it comes to profit payment – we believe in compounded profits. This means that any gains you make will be given to you in a way that does not affect the growth of your cafe funded account.

Furthermore, when you reach the end of your initial evaluation phase – as long as you finish with a positive balance – we will ensure that all due profits are paid to you.

Evaluation Time Frame

If you have ever looked into opening any funded account before, then you will know that some platforms enforce strict time limits – some as little as a month!

Here at The Trader Cafe, we believe in flexibility. so, in other words, when opening a Cafe-funded account with us you will have an entire year to pass your first evaluation.

Good things come to those who wait; thou however, if you should wish to steamroll your way through the evaluation processes and pass within a few months – that is entirely your call, either way, as soon as you pass your first evaluation, our team will let you know.

Minimum Trading Days: 30

Whilst we enforce no post-evaluation time restrictions – during your evaluation you must proactively trade for a minimum of 30 days. To clarify, if you open a trade position on a Wednesday, and close it on a Thursday – this will be counted as 1 singular trading day.

Minimum Trades: 45

As well as your 30-day minimum active trading requirement, you also need to display your trading skills to us. In order for us to thoroughly assess your trading capabilities, you will need to fulfil our requirement of 60 trades minimum.
Let us be super clear about what constitutes 1 trade when it comes to your evaluation requirements.

  • Let’s say you decide to open more than one position on EUR/USD.
  • Until both positions have been closed – this still counts as 1 trade.

In terms of the portfolio manager phase, following your evaluation phase graduation – you only have to actively trade four (4) different positions in a calendar month.

Max Risk for Each Trade

As a funded trader, you will only be permitted to risk up to 2% for each trade – this includes stop-orders, market orders, and pending orders.

If like in our earlier example, you decide to open more than one position on a pair EUR/USD – the combined risk on these trades must not go above 2% of your Cafe funded account balance.

Let’s say you’ve decided to utilize a hedging strategy. Once again, the risk covering all trades must not go beyond 2%. If, on the other hand, you decide to open a position on EUR/USD and also GBP/USD – these counts as 2 separate trades. Therefore, you can risk as much as 2% on each trade, but remember your account risk per day.

Max Risk Exposure: Lot Size

Different stages come with different maximum lot sizes. What we mean by maximum exposure is that you will only be permitted to open lot sizes of a certain amount.

To give you a clearer idea, let’s say you have 4 open positions of 1 lot. You then break even by shifting your stop loss (of 1 lot). This gives you room for a further 1 lot worth of risk on future trading endeavours.

Tradable Currency Pairs

When it comes to forex trading, there are heaps of tradable currency pairs available when joining The Trader Cafe Trader program. We give our traders exposure to major pairs and major pairs – and even exotic forex pairs for you to combine.

To give you an example, please see below:

  • Minor FX Pairs: EUR/GBP, GBP/JPY, EUR/NZD, GBP/JPY, EUR/CHF.
  • Major FX Pairs: GBP/USD, USD/CHF, EUR/USD, NZD/USD, USD/JPY.
  • Cross FX Pairs: EUR/AUD, EUR/JPY, EUR/GBP, GBP/CAD, GBP/CAD, GBP/AUD.
