Frequently asked questions

Getting started

IXU Capital is a proprietary trading firm founded by Usman Khalid. You prove your skill on a rules-based evaluation, then trade the firm's capital on a funded account and keep 80% of the profits — up to 90% on Daily Payouts accounts.

IXU Capital is owned and run by its founder, Usman Khalid. He built the firm around published, fixed rules and fast payouts.

Yes. IXU Capital has paid more than $300,000 to traders, and recent payouts from our ledger are shown live on the homepage. Approved payouts are sent within 5 hours of approval, or we add 50%.

Choose a model and account size, complete the evaluation objectives (or start instantly with Instant Funding), then trade your funded account, request payouts, and scale up to $400K.

Funded accounts are demo accounts traded with virtual funds. Your profits are real — we pay your share of the performance from our own capital.

Every IXU Capital account comes with the IXU Terminal — our own web and mobile trading platform with live broker prices — included free, no download needed. Prefer MetaTrader 5 (MT5)? Add it at checkout from $10 (5K) to $60 (100K and above).

We serve traders worldwide, excluding restricted jurisdictions. The full list is in our Terms of Service.

No — we keep pricing low and rules simple instead, and your challenge fee is refundable, which we think beats a trial.

Daily Payouts

It's a funded-trader product where you can request a payout ANY day of the week — no waiting for a trading-day cycle. Once your funded account is up at least 1% in realized profit, you can request a withdrawal, and it's approved within 5 hours (or we add 50%). On the funded account, risk is capped at 1% per trade and 2% per trade idea (the evaluation phases follow the standard rules).

Reach at least 1% realized profit on your funded Daily Payouts account, then request a withdrawal from your dashboard — any day. KYC must be complete before your first payout. Approved payouts are processed within 5 hours; if we're ever late we add 50% to that payout. Don't confuse the two 1% rules: 1% PROFIT is what makes you eligible for a payout, while 1% is also the MAXIMUM RISK you may take on any single trade on your FUNDED account (2% per trade idea). The risk limit does not apply during the evaluation phases.

One-Step: 12% profit target. Two-Step: 12% then 6%. Both variants: 8% static maximum drawdown, 4% daily loss limit, on the funded account a maximum risk of 1% per trade and 2% per trade idea (same-direction re-entries within 15 minutes count as one idea), payouts from 1% profit any day, and up to 90% profit split. Every other rule — 2-minute minimum hold, the news window, no hedging / HFT / arbitrage, the 80% margin cap, weekend closing and the 14-day inactivity rule — matches the standard 1-Step and 2-Step models.

This applies on your FUNDED Daily Payouts account only — not during the evaluation phases. Maximum 1% per trade, and maximum 2% per trade idea, both measured as the loss on the trade (closed, or still open and floating) against your starting balance — e.g. on a $10K account no single trade may lose more than $100. A trade idea is any set of same-direction positions on the same instrument. If you close a position and re-enter the same direction within 15 minutes, we count it as the SAME trade idea — so the combined risk of those re-entries must still stay within 2%. This keeps a single directional bet from exceeding 2% by splitting it across quick re-entries. It is enforced automatically: a breach ends the funded account immediately. The 1% limit is equity-based: it covers a single trade AND several positions open at the same time — their combined floating loss may not exceed it either.

Simple: reach 1% profit on your funded account and request a payout — that's the only threshold. There's no minimum number of trading days to wait, so you can withdraw any day of the week the moment you're up 1%. On the funded account, keep every trade within the 1% maximum risk per trade (2% per trade idea) — a breach ends the account automatically and voids the payout.

Static drawdown — measured from your starting balance, not trailing. The maximum overall loss is 8% of the starting balance and the maximum daily loss is 4%. Breaching either ends the account immediately.

Up to 90% of the profit you generate — higher than our standard accounts, in exchange for the 12% target and 8% static drawdown.

The same way as our other challenges: once your payment clears, your IXU Terminal account is ready instantly — you get an email with the link and a Launch terminal button on your dashboard. If you chose the MT5 add-on, your MetaTrader 5 credentials are issued to your dashboard and emailed to you instead.

Evaluation

1-Step (one phase), 2-Step (two phases), Instant Funding (funded immediately, no evaluation), plus Daily Payouts versions of 1-Step and 2-Step. Compare them on the homepage.

No — take as long as you need to hit your target. Evaluation models carry a minimum of 3 trading days before you can pass; each model's rules are shown on its card.

1-Step: 10%. 2-Step: 8% then 5%. Instant Funding: none. Targets are measured on balance.

Passing is confirmed after a short verification window, then admin issues your next-phase (or funded) credentials and a verifiable certificate. Funded accounts follow a KYC + risk check.

Payouts & rewards

Request a withdrawal from your dashboard once eligible. Payouts are processed within 5 hours — if we're ever late, we add 50% to that payout automatically.

On 1-Step and 2-Step funded accounts, each payout unlocks after 14 trading days (any day with at least one trade closed) in the current cycle — counted from funding for your first payout, then from your last paid payout after that. On Instant Funding accounts, each payout unlocks after 5 profitable trading days, where a day counts as profitable only if its realized gain is at least 0.5% of that day's starting balance. Your dashboard's payout section shows exactly how many qualifying days are left until your next payout.

You keep 80% on Standard 1-Step and 2-Step accounts and up to 90% on Daily Payouts accounts. Instant Funding starts at 50% and steps up to 80%.

Once you meet the payout schedule for your model — 14 trading days on 1-Step/2-Step, or 5 profitable trading days (each a day up at least 0.5%) on Instant Funding — and your KYC is verified. KYC must be complete before your first payout, and your dashboard counts down the days remaining.

Yes — on 1-Step and 2-Step models your full fee is refunded with your 4th payout. Instant Funding fees are not refundable.

Trading rules

Yes — on a funded account. Every position must be held for at least 2 minutes; a trade held under 2 minutes is a warning on the first occurrence and a breach on the second, and such trades are excluded from your results and can void a payout.

News trading is allowed on the 1-Step and 2-Step models, but you may not open or close a position within 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after a major (high-impact) news event affecting that instrument's currency pair. First occurrence is a warning; a second is a breach. Instant Funding restricts high-impact news trading entirely.

No over-leveraging — you may not use more than 80% margin at any time. Over-leveraging is a soft breach: a warning on the first occurrence, a breach on the second. Leverage is capped per model: 1:50 (1-Step), 1:100 (2-Step), 1:30 (Instant).

High-frequency trading (HFT), all forms of arbitrage (including latency and hedge arbitrage), hedging on the same or linked accounts, over-leveraging or exceeding 80% margin, copy trading or signal copying across accounts, group or third-party managed trading, exploiting demo/price-feed errors, tick scalping, and gambling-style all-in or martingale-only trading.

No. Holding opposing positions — a buy and a sell on the same instrument at the same time — for more than 1 minute is hedging and is an immediate hard breach. A brief overlap during a genuine reversal is fine, but sustained opposing exposure ends the account and we'll email you a hedging-violation notice.

IXU Terminal accounts have no separate trading password — you sign in with your IXU Capital login. For MT5 add-on accounts: no — changing your MT5 trading password is prohibited, because it is the main way accounts get shared or handed to someone else. If your login can no longer be verified, the account is suspended for manual review (not closed automatically). If you genuinely need your password changed, contact IXU Capital support and we will do it for you.

This limit applies on funded accounts. On Instant Funding you may risk a maximum of 1% of account equity per trade — whether that's a single position or several positions open at once. If account equity reaches −1%, the account is permanently terminated. On 1-Step and 2-Step funded accounts the limit is 2% risk per trade. On Daily Payouts funded accounts the limit is 1% per trade and 2% per trade idea — same-direction positions on the same instrument, where closing and re-entering the same direction within 15 minutes counts as the same idea. Risk is measured as the loss on each trade (closed or floating) against your starting balance, and it is enforced automatically. It never applies during an evaluation phase. On every model the limit is equity-based: several positions open at the same time count together (combined floating loss).

Maximum daily loss is 5% and maximum overall loss is 10% of the starting balance (per model). Breaching either ends that account immediately.

No — positions must be closed before the weekend on the 1-Step, 2-Step, and Instant models.

Yes — this applies to every account (evaluation and funded). You must place at least one trade every 14 calendar days. If 14 days pass with no trading activity, the account is breached. The countdown runs from your last trade — or, before your very first trade, from the day the account was issued — so keeping the account active simply means trading at least once each fortnight.

Soft breaches — the 2-minute minimum hold time, the news window and over-leveraging (more than 80% margin) — carry a warning on the first occurrence and a breach on the second. Hard breaches — the loss limits, maximum risk per trade, weekend holding and 14-day inactivity — end the account immediately. Serious violations, such as exploiting feed errors or coordinated multi-account trading, are also an immediate breach.

Yes. Accounts won through a giveaway or promotion trade on reduced leverage of 1:10, and the 2% maximum-risk-per-trade limit applies on every phase — the evaluation phases as well as the funded stage (on standard paid accounts the 2% risk cap applies on the funded stage only). The 2-minute minimum hold time also applies on every phase of a giveaway account: the account holder must keep every trade open for at least 2 minutes, in evaluation as well as funded (on standard paid accounts it applies on the funded stage only). A shorter trade gets a warning the first time and a breach the second. Every other rule matches the account's model (for example a 2-Step giveaway follows the 2-Step targets and loss limits). These conditions keep promotional accounts within a controlled risk profile.

Affiliate program

Yes. Every trader gets a personal referral link from the Affiliate page in their dashboard. When someone signs up or buys a challenge through your link, you earn a commission — paid to you in crypto.

The standard commission is 10% of every challenge purchased through your link (close partners can arrange a higher rate). Commissions appear in your Affiliate dashboard and are paid to your USDT (TRC-20) wallet once approved by our finance team.

Your link is ixucapital.app/r/YOURCODE. It attributes anyone who signs up or checks out through it for 30 days — even if they browse the site first or buy as a guest without registering.

No self-referrals — you earn nothing on your own purchases or your own accounts. No spam, misleading claims, or promises of guaranteed profit; no bidding on IXU Capital brand terms in ads; and no impersonating the firm. Commissions on refunded or charged-back orders are voided. Breaking these can suspend your affiliate account and forfeit unpaid commissions.

Account & KYC

From your dashboard, open KYC and upload a government ID plus proof of address. Review is usually within 24 hours. KYC is required before your first payout.

Yes — you can hold more than one IXU Capital account at the same time, and run several evaluations or funded accounts in parallel (up to a combined maximum allocation of $400K in funded capital). What is not allowed is coordinating trades across accounts — copy or mirror trading, group passing, or hedging one account against another. Trade each account independently on its own merits.
