Straight to Funded (S2F): How to Skip the Evaluation
Straight-to-Funded (S2F) or Instant Funded accounts allow you to bypass traditional evaluation phases and start trading with funded sim capital immediately after purchase.
These offers typically come with different pricing and rules compared to standard evaluation plans. Always review the full rules - particularly maximum loss limits and payout eligibility - before purchasing. Compare full plan details in our Price List.
Key Differences from Evaluation Accounts
- Immediate start - No profit target phase required. Funded capital is available from day one.
- Higher initial cost - The fee is usually higher than an evaluation, reflecting immediate capital access.
- Loss limits from day one - Strict maximum drawdown rules mirror the firm's funded account rules from the moment you start.
