The Founder
"I could read the market. I just couldn't afford to trade it. Prop firms changed that, until I realized most of them profit when traders fail. So I built one that doesn't."
Adrian CaldwellFounder & Lead Analyst, Institutional Trading Academy
Most prop firms start and end in simulation. Ours doesn't have to: when your trading proves consistent, you become eligible for Book A: real capital.
The Model, in Plain Terms
What you pay for
The challenge fee buys access to the evaluation environment and educational content. It is not an investment and not a deposit.
Where payouts come from
Payouts are made from ITA's operational resources, conditional on full compliance with the rules published before you pay.
What is simulated
Trading runs in simulated accounts, so your risk is capped at the fee you paid. The withdrawals funded traders receive are real money.

Frequently asked questions.
What is a prop firm and how does ITAfx work?
A proprietary trading firm provides traders with funded accounts to trade with virtual capital. At ITAfx, you choose an account size ($25K to $400K), prove your consistency through our evaluation or instant funding program, and keep up to 120% of the profits you generate.
Which platform do I trade on?
ITAfx accounts run on the Match Trader platform, with the same published rules on every account size from $25K to $400K.
How quickly can I get my first payout?
ITAfx processes payouts typically within 24 hours. Once you reach the minimum profit threshold and request a withdrawal, there are no waiting periods or lock-up windows. Over $1.7 million has been paid out to traders across 97+ countries.
What is On-Demand Payout?
On-Demand Payout refers to our withdrawal framework: traders in full compliance with all account rules may request a profit withdrawal at any time, without being bound to fixed bi-weekly cycles. Requests are processed within a short, predictable timeframe, typically same-day or under 24 hours. This does not mean profits are credited automatically after each trade; it means no scheduled withdrawal window applies.
Is there a time limit to pass the evaluation?
No. ITAfx has no time limits on evaluations. Take as long as you need. We believe consistent trading cannot be rushed. This removes pressure and lets you trade your strategy without artificial deadlines.
What is the 150% Refund Guarantee?
When you pass your Challenge evaluation, ITAfx refunds 150% of the evaluation fee with your first payout. This means you receive 1.5× what you paid for the challenge. We invest in traders who prove consistency.
What happens if I break a rule?
During the assessment period, a violation ends your eligibility for that funded account. In a funded account, a violation permanently closes that specific account. Not every violation is automatic: our risk team notifies you if your account breaches a condition, and you can always start again with a new account.
Can I use EAs, copiers, or trade during news?
Yes, within published limits. Approved trade and risk management EAs are allowed, news trading is allowed on every account, and weekend holding is available on 2-Step and Instant PRO funded accounts. Third-party copy services, hedging, and the other prohibited practices are listed in full in the Rules FAQ before you pay.

What rate do I start at?
Commissions start at 20% lifetime and scale to 40%, paid every Friday. Founding members lock the full 40% from day one.
How do I reach the 40% rate?
Be one of the first 300 affiliates to register and the full 40% lifetime rate locks instantly, no targets, nothing to prove. Once the founding seats are gone, bringing 50 referrals within your first 60 days unlocks the same 40%. Once locked, 40% is yours for life.

Every Friday. Once your balance meets the minimum, your commission is processed and paid out that week.
Do I keep earning if my referral buys again?
Yes. Your commission is lifetime. If the same trader buys ten times, you earn on all ten.
Is this real money? Are earnings guaranteed?
Commissions are real and paid weekly. Trading itself happens in simulated evaluation environments, and nothing on this page is a guarantee of income. Your earnings depend on your own referral activity.
Do I need to be a trader to join?
No. Anyone with an audience can join.
Is there a limit on how much I can earn?
No. There is no cap on the number of referrals or the commission you can earn.

01 · General Questions
The most asked questions.
Everything about ITAfx prop trading, accounts, and payouts.
What is ITA FX?
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 Match Trader and becomes eligible to receive a percentage 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.
How can I become funded by Institutional Trading Academy?
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.
What is an evaluation?
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.
What account sizes are available?
Our accounts include: $25,000 / $50,000 / $100,000 / $200,000 / $300,000 / $400,000.
What is the maximum allowed capital I can manage?
Traders can manage up to $800,000 in virtual capital, which can be in a single account or split between smaller accounts.
What happens if I violate a rule or do not meet the trading requirements?
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 will be permanently closed. In this case, you are welcome to try again with a new account. Not all violations happen automatically: in some cases you will be notified by our risk team. We also work with soft breaches and alerts, using a high-tech dashboard where traders can monitor their accounts along the way.
How can I track my progress?
You can track your progress through your personal dashboard at app.itafx.com. The dashboard provides real-time data on your account performance, including P&L, drawdown levels, and trading statistics.
What payment methods are available?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and cryptocurrency payments including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT. PIX is also available for Brazilian traders.
How many accounts can I manage?
Traders can manage multiple accounts up to a combined capital of $800,000. This can be distributed across different account sizes as you see fit.
Do I need to have experience to start?
While trading experience is beneficial, it is not strictly required. Our ITAfx Academy provides comprehensive educational resources to help you learn and grow. However, we recommend having at least basic knowledge of financial markets before starting an evaluation.
Can I change my password?
It is not possible to change the password: credentials are securely sent through our system and remain the same while the account is active.

Do you offer a free retry?
Yes, in certain cases we offer free retries for traders who showed consistent trading behavior but narrowly missed their targets. Terms and eligibility depend on the specific account type and circumstances.

How does the account work from a technical perspective?
When you purchase an ITAfx account, you receive Match Trader login credentials for a simulated trading account. Your trades are executed on our infrastructure using real market data. Performance metrics (P&L, drawdown, consistency) are tracked in real-time on your dashboard at app.itafx.com.

03 · Rules
Trading rules, limits, and targets.
Understand our trading rules before you pay a cent.

While not strictly mandatory on every trade, using stop losses is strongly recommended as part of responsible risk management. Consistent lack of risk management may be flagged by our risk team.
What is the Maximum Daily Loss?
The Maximum Daily Loss varies by account type: 3% for Instant on Demand and 1-Step accounts, 4% for Instant PRO, and 6% for 2-Step accounts. It is calculated on the higher of starting equity or balance, reset at 00:00 CEST.

The Maximum Overall Loss is 6% of the initial account size for Instant on Demand and 1-Step accounts, 8% for Instant PRO, and 12% for 2-Step accounts.
Do you allow Hedging and Martingale?
Hedging and Martingale strategies are prohibited under our trading rules as they are considered high-risk and potentially manipulative strategies.
Is News Trading allowed?
News trading is permitted across all ITA accounts. However, trades should demonstrate sound analysis and not rely solely on volatile news events.
Overnight holding of trades
Overnight holding is allowed on all programs. You can keep your positions open outside of market hours without restrictions.
Weekend holding of trades
Weekend holding is permitted on 2-Step and Instant PRO Funded Accounts. If trades are held over the weekend on Instant and/or 1-Step accounts, it will be deemed a hard breach.
Consistency Score
The consistency score ensures no single trading day represents an outsized portion of total profit. Instant on Demand: 50%. 1-Step: 30%. 2-Step: 40%. Instant PRO: not applicable. The score for your account type is printed on its pricing card before purchase.
What is a soft breach?
A soft breach is a warning-level violation of trading rules. It serves as an alert that you are approaching a rule limit. Soft breaches do not immediately terminate your account but indicate the need for corrective action.
What is a hard breach?
A hard breach is a definitive violation of trading rules that results in immediate account termination. This includes exceeding maximum loss limits, daily loss limits, or engaging in prohibited trading practices.
Prohibited trading
Prohibited trading includes: gap trading, high-frequency trading, latency arbitrage, hedging, reverse trading, tick scalping, server spamming, opposite account trading, and third-party copy trading. Violations result in immediate account termination.
Account Inactivity
Accounts with no trades for 30 consecutive days will be terminated. Make sure to keep your account active by placing at least one trade within every 30-day period.
EA's and Trade Copiers
Only approved trade management and risk management EAs are permitted. Third-party copy trading services and unapproved EAs are prohibited and may result in account termination.
What is the drawdown type used by ITAfx?
ITAfx uses trailing drawdown for Instant and Instant PRO accounts, and static drawdown for Step 1 and Step 2 Challenge accounts. The trailing drawdown follows your highest equity point, while static drawdown is calculated from your initial balance.
Are there IP-related rules?
Yes. Each trading account must be accessed from a consistent IP location. Trading from multiple geographic regions simultaneously may trigger a security review. If you travel frequently, contact support beforehand to avoid any issues.
Can I use a VPS or VPN?
VPS (Virtual Private Server) usage is permitted and even recommended for EA/algo traders to ensure consistent execution. VPN usage is allowed but should not be used to mask your actual trading location. Contact support if you have specific questions about your setup.
Is gambling-style trading allowed?
No. Gambling-style trading, such as placing excessively large positions relative to account size or making random directional bets without any analysis, is strictly prohibited. ITAfx expects traders to demonstrate consistent, disciplined trading behavior.
