Find answers to the most common questions about ITAfx prop trading, evaluations, payouts, and more.
ITA FX is a project looking for traders with experience. We have a tailored program that works as an assessment to verify the trading ability of each person. Once a trader successfully passes the assessment, the trader will receive a virtual ITA FX account with MT5. This person will then be eligible to receive a % of the profits generated within the account.
Trading is not easy, and our project has helped multiple traders grow without taking large risks trading their own capital.
To become a funded trader, all you need to do is complete the assessment requirements through our Evaluation. For those looking to expedite the process and skip the challenge, it is possible to choose the Instant Funding option.
An Evaluation is a step in which you trade on a demo account to show that you are capable of meeting our requirements as a trader. Each account has its own requirements.
Our accounts include: $25,000 / $50,000 / $100,000 / $200,000 / $300,000 / $400,000
Traders can manage up to $1,000,000 in virtual capital, which can be in a single account, or split between smaller accounts.
If you violate one of the trading requirements during the assessment period, you will lose the eligibility for a funded account. If you violate a rule in a funded account, you will lose access to the funded capital and that specific trading account would be permanently closed. In this case, you are welcome to try again with a new account.
It is important to notice that not all violations happen automatically and in some cases, you will be notified by our risk team in case your account has violated our conditions. We also work with soft breaches and alerts, using a high-tech dashboard where traders can monitor their accounts along the way.
You can track your progress through your personal dashboard at app.itafx.com. Your dashboard shows real-time metrics including profit/loss, drawdown, consistency score, and trading days.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, and cryptocurrency payments including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT.
You can manage multiple accounts up to a combined total of $1,000,000 in virtual capital. This can be split across accounts of different sizes according to your preference.
While trading experience is beneficial, it is not strictly required. ITA provides educational resources through ITAfx Academy to help traders at all levels develop their skills. However, our evaluation program is designed to assess genuine trading ability, so some foundational knowledge of the markets is recommended.
Once you meet the payout criteria in your funded account, you can request a payout through your dashboard. Payouts are processed to your crypto wallet. You receive up to 95% of the profits generated in your account.

The Maximum Daily Loss is 3% of the account balance. If your daily losses reach this threshold, your account may be flagged or breached. This rule is in place to ensure responsible risk management.
The Maximum Loss is 6% of the account balance. This is the total drawdown limit from your initial balance. Exceeding this limit will result in a breach and account closure.
The Consistency Score measures how evenly your profits are distributed across your trading days. A consistency threshold of 15% applies, meaning no single trading day should account for more than 15% of your total profit. This encourages disciplined, consistent trading.
Your trading account is monitored for IP consistency. Significant and unexplained changes in your IP address or login location may trigger a review by our risk team. This is a security measure to protect your account.
The use of VPS (Virtual Private Servers) and VPN services is subject to our IP rules and guidelines. If you use a VPS or VPN for trading, ensure that your usage complies with our terms and does not trigger IP-related flags. Contact support if you have questions about using these services.
A soft breach is a warning that indicates you are approaching a rule violation threshold. It serves as an alert to adjust your trading behavior before a hard breach occurs. Soft breaches are visible in your dashboard.
A hard breach is a definitive rule violation that results in the closure of your trading account. This occurs when you exceed the maximum loss, maximum daily loss, or violate other critical trading rules. Once a hard breach occurs, the account is permanently closed.
