Paid To Trade is a forex proprietary trading firm operating at paidtotrade.net under Mason Ridge Strategic Consultancy Inc. (Company Registration No. 2025050200688-04). It sells four account structures on Match Trader and Platform 5: a 2-Step Static evaluation from $5K to $80K, a 1-Step Static evaluation from $5K to $40K, an Instant Funding account with no evaluation from $5K to $40K, and a 1-Step Trail evaluation with a trailing drawdown from $25K to $100K. The firm states it runs A-book execution, routing trades to FX-EDGE as its institutional liquidity provider, and that its revenue is the profit split on winning trades rather than evaluation fees or trader losses. It publishes a per-payout ledger and self-reports $6.27M+ paid to 3,594+ traders with zero denied payouts since launch; those figures are the firm's own unaudited claims. Payouts are weekly on Static and Instant accounts and bi-weekly on Trail, sent by bank transfer or crypto on the TRC-20 network.

Payout rules
- Notes
- The minimum payout request on Static accounts is 1% of the account size, so no single firm-level USD minimum exists. There is no profit cap and no per-cycle withdrawal cap on Static or Instant accounts; 1-Step Trail caps withdrawals at 6% of the account per cycle with no monthly limit on the number of payouts. 1-Step Trail Performance also requires 5 minimum trading days per cycle, removable with the No Minimum Trading Days add-on, plus a minimum profit per day of $100 at $25,000, $200 at $50,000 and $400 at $100,000. Approval is stated as instant and payments are processed the same day; crypto arrives in under 5 minutes after sending and bank transfers in 5 hours to 5 days. Allow 1 business day after each payout for the account to be reconfigured. Only active accounts can request payouts. Withdrawals are sent only by straight bank transfer or crypto on the TRC-20 network; the firm states it does not use PayPal, Payoneer, ERC-20 or Ethereum.

- Payout Schedule Note
- Static and Instant: the first payout can be requested after 7 calendar days, counted from the first trade, then every 7 calendar days. 1-Step Trail: the first payout opens after 21 calendar days, then every 14 calendar days. The firm asks traders to request on weekdays and avoid weekends.
- Profit Split Scaling
- Profit split progresses across payouts: 50% → 70% → 90%
- Consistency For Payout
- 20% on 1-Step Trail Performance: any single trade or single day's profit must be no more than 20% of total cycle profit. No consistency rule on Static or Instant accounts.
- Fee Refunded On First Payout
- No
Trading rules
- Notes
- USA and American traders can only trade on MatchTrader. Platform choice does not change drawdown, payout or eligibility rules. A minimum trading day on Static evaluations counts only if at least $0.01 of profit is closed that day. On 1-Step Trail Performance a trading day counts when a trade opens and closes within that day. The firm reserves a manifest-error right to amend, correct or cancel trades affected by pricing, execution or system errors.
- Holding Note
- Weekend holding is allowed on both Static and Trail accounts. Standard rollover and swap charges apply, and additional swap adjustments may be applied during payout calculation.
- Max Leverage
- Forex 1:40, Indices 1:20, Gold 1:10, other metals 1:5, commodities 1:5, crypto 1:2
- Scaling Plan
- Funded accounts scale through a Scaling Program that doubles funded capital at each tier up to a $1,500,000 maximum allocation. Each tier requires sustained breach-free trading, stated as roughly 10% cumulative net profit, at least 3 approved payouts and 4 consecutive consistent months. Static and Instant recompute the 4%/8% drawdown on the new balance; Trail recomputes the trailing drawdown.
- Scalping Note
- Ordinary scalping is not prohibited. Tick scalping and asymmetric scalping designed to manufacture consistency are prohibited on every account type, and arbitrage including HFT is prohibited on all Static accounts and on Trail Performance.
- Hedging Allowed
- Not allowed
- Inactivity Rule
- 1-Step Static accounts have a 30-day inactivity rule: no trades placed for 30 consecutive days during the evaluation
- Daily Loss Reset
- Daily loss resets at 00:00 EET or EEST; the reference is the higher of balance or equity at the previous end of day. Maximum loss never resets.
- Scalping Allowed
- Allowed
- Max Position Size
- 1 standard lot per every 2,500 of account balance
- News Trading Note
- Prohibited on all Static and Instant accounts: no opening or closing a trade within 5 minutes before or after high impact news, defined by the FXStreet economic calendar. Breaching it voids that trade's profit but is not a hard breach and losses still count. News trading IS allowed on 1-Step Trail accounts.

- Not allowed
- Allowed Instruments
- Forex, Indices, Metals, Energy and Crypto
- Challenge Time Limit
- None on any evaluation
- Copy trading allowed

- static
- Ea Automation Allowed
- Allowed
- Prohibited Strategies
- Arbitrage including HFT, grid trading, martingale, pyramid scaling, asymmetric scalping, all-in or concentrated-risk trades and tick scalping are prohibited on Static Evaluation and on Trail Performance. Static Performance additionally prohibits hedging, news trading in the 5-minute window and copy trading, but explicitly allows grid, martingale and scaling into positions. Trail Evaluation carries no prohibited-strategy restrictions at all and permits HFT. Hedging is banned in any form on Static accounts, including across multiple or related accounts.

Things to consider
TrustPilot has withheld this company's rating for a breach of its guidelines and states it removed a number of fake reviews, while the firm's own /reviews/ page claims a 4.8 TrustPilot rating the profile does not support and lists account prices that contradict the live checkout. News trading is prohibited on all Static and Instant accounts, hedging is banned outright, evaluation fees are non-refundable, and account sizes stop at $80K on 2-Step Static or $100K on 1-Step Trail before the scaling programme.
