How TBM Funded Works
Choose a challenge, prove your trading discipline, receive a simulated funded account, and withdraw your rewards via Rise.
The Capital ModelWhat is a prop firm?
We never ask for your investment capital. You prove your market analysis skills by hitting a published set of objectives in a simulated environment. Upon successful evaluation, you are provided access to a simulated funded account, where you can earn real rewards based on your virtual performance.
One-time evaluation
- You pay a one-time evaluation fee.
- You operate entirely with simulated funds.
Prove performance responsibly
- Reach virtual targets while respecting drawdown parameters.
- Risk parameters protect both the participant and the firm.
Access capital and earn
- Pass to receive access to a simulated funded account.
- Payouts are real rewards based on eligible simulated gains.

Frequently asked questions
How does the evaluation work?
Two phases on the same account: hit an 8% profit target in Phase 1, then 5% in Phase 2, with a minimum of five trading days in each (three on Rapid). Pass both and your funded account is issued within 24 hours.
Is there a time limit to pass the challenge?
No. Trade at your own pace — the only requirement is a minimum of five trading days per phase (three on Rapid). We'd rather you trade well than trade fast.
How do payouts actually work?
You keep what you earn — 80% on the 2-Phase Challenge, up to 90% on Rapid. Payouts run weekly, with a $50 minimum, via Rise. No chasing, no waiting on a support ticket — it's built into the schedule.
What happens if I breach a drawdown limit?
A breach ends that challenge, so it's worth knowing the numbers going in. 2-Phase Challenge: 5% daily, 10% max, calculated statically. 2-Phase Rapid: 3% daily, 6% max, calculated as a trailing end-of-day figure — the same method used once you're funded. Think of it less as a tripwire and more as the edge of the field you're playing on.
What can I trade?
All instruments on every account size — Forex, Gold, indices, and more. News trading and weekend holding are allowed. No martingale, no grid trading.
When is KYC verification required?
Identity verification (KYC) is required right after you pass Phase 2 — before your funded account and platform credentials are issued. A separate check confirms your payout destination belongs to you, done at the time of your first payout.
How soon do I get my funded account?
Within 24 hours of passing both phases. You've done the hard part — we don't make you wait for the rest.
What are the challenge ranks?
Each account size carries a rank on the TBM ladder: Soldier ($5K), Capo ($10K), Mad Men ($25K), Boss ($50K), and Don ($100K). The rank is your account size — bigger account, higher rank. Every Don was once a Soldier. (Not to be confused with the in-portal leaderboard tiers — Silver to Sapphire — which you earn through performance.)
What if I fail a challenge — can I try again?
Yes. A breach ends that attempt, not your shot at getting funded. You're welcome to restart whenever you're ready — plenty of funded traders here didn't pass on the first try.
