Challenges Introduction

SurgeTrader offers a one-step evaluation program with six different account sizes to identify serious traders and enable them to earn more profits from their trading activity. The evaluation program rewards consistency over a one-phase evaluation period and allows traders to trade with up to 1:10 leverage. The evaluation phase requires traders to reach a profit target of 10% while following the 4% maximum daily loss and 5% maximum trailing drawdown rules. There are no minimum or maximum trading day requirements, and the only requirement to become funded is to hit the profit target.

Upon successful completion of the evaluation phase, traders are awarded a funded account with no profit targets. They are only required to respect the 4% maximum daily loss and 5% maximum trailing drawdown rules. They can request their first 75% profit split on day one if they are in profit, with subsequent payouts available every 30 calendar days.

Customer Reviews on Trust Pilot

Our experience has been exactly as advertised—except for the listed issues, all other issues have been resolved: You cannot scale your lots as your balance increases—you’re limited to your contracted level; and, the chosen platform is limited and cumbersome compared to other platforms. Regardless, we still appreciate the opportunity!

Well basically they just literally do everything they say they do which in the timeframe they say they do it. They are honest. Seems kinda rare in this bis model.

First: The opportunity is an OUTSTANDING one—exactly as advertised in our experience. Critically: The platform is not as robust as others; and, its stability has left us frustrated.
