Read full company overview
IQ Capital is a proprietary trading firm that allocates its own capital to traders who pass a single-phase evaluation or buy an instant-funding account. It runs two product families side by side: CFD and crypto accounts on MetaTrader 5 and Volumetrica, and futures accounts on Deepchart, ATAS and Quantower. Each family is sold in three product types - Core (lowest cost, payouts every 10 days), Rapid (faster targets, payouts every 3 days, free activation) and Instant Funding (no challenge, funded from day one). Traders keep a flat 90% of profits from the first dollar, with no threshold and no tiers, and there is no minimum payout size. Drawdown is end-of-day trailing on both the evaluation and the funded account, and the funded account carries a 30% consistency rule (40% on Rapid). The brand is operated by Beyond IQ Capital Ltd. of Gros Islet, Saint Lucia, and was founded by Christoph Radecker.

- Payout Schedule Note
- First payout after 10 active trading days on the funded account. Every further payout requires 10 new active trading days, at least 50% new profit since the last payout, and compliance with the consistency rule. Rapid plans are advertised with payouts every 3 days.
- Profit Split Scaling
- No threshold and no tiers
- Consistency For Payout
- Best trading day may not exceed 30% of total profit on Funded and Instant Funding accounts (40% on Rapid plans); exceeding it raises the profit target by the excess

Trading rules
- Notes
- Third-party Expert Advisors and AI bots are allowed only where the trader has full access to the source code and demonstrable control over the logic. Hedging is available on crypto and CFD hedging accounts but is prohibited in futures, including across accounts and correlated markets. Breaches escalate over three strikes: the first two position-loss breaches are soft breaches that close the trade only, the third is a hard breach that closes the account.
- Reset Fee
- Crypto and CFD Core: $69 ($50K), $149 ($100K), $299 ($200K). Futures Core: $49 ($50K), $79 ($100K). Rapid plans carry no reset fee. Funded-account resets: $499 ($50K), $899 ($100K).
- Reset Note
- A reset restores the account balance only, not the remaining duration of the challenge.
- Holding Note
- Crypto and CFD accounts have no restrictions on holding overnight or over the weekend. Futures accounts are intraday only: overnight and weekend holding is not allowed and any position still open at market close is closed automatically.
- Max Leverage
- Fixed per asset class and not adjustable by the trader; maximum 50x on FX
- Scaling Plan
- Up to ten accounts at the same time for a maximum of $2 million in capital; top performers are invited to IQ Elite to trade real institutional capital at a 90% profit split.
- Reset Allowed
- Allowed
- Scalping Note
- Scalping is allowed subject to a 15 second hold threshold. At least 50% of all trades and at least 50% of total profit must come from trades held longer than 15 seconds; accounts that do not meet this rule are not eligible for a payout. Tick scalping and high-frequency trading are prohibited.

What stands out
Published advantages and trade-offs to review before choosing a program.
Key benefits
Flat 90% profit split from the first dollar with no threshold or tiers; single-phase evaluation with no minimum trading days; soft-breach system closes the offending trade instead of the account (two soft breaches before a hard breach); crypto, CFD and futures under one firm; no minimum payout size.
Things to consider
Trailing end-of-day drawdown on both the evaluation and the funded account; a hard 30% consistency rule on funded accounts (40% on Rapid); recurring monthly management fee per funded account; futures accounts are intraday only with no hedging; evaluation fees are non-refundable; the site's own pages disagree on the operating jurisdiction (Saint Lucia in the imprint, UAE in the FAQ).
