Frequently Asked Questions

The clear answers first. If yours isn't here, a real person answers at support@abook-funded.uk.

Getting started

What is A-Book Funded?+

An evaluation firm with a difference: we evaluate traders on simulated accounts, pay rewards on their simulated performance, and replicate the best of them with our own capital on real markets, at our discretion. We are a UK company; our full details are on the Legal page.

How do I start?+

Pick a challenge (The Builder 2-Step, The Sprinter 1-Step, or The Starter Instant), choose your account size from $10,000 to $200,000, and pay the one-time fee. Your account and dashboard are delivered within 15 minutes. Pass the evaluation, complete KYC, and you're funded.

Who can join?+

Anyone 18 or older, trading under their own verified identity, outside restricted jurisdictions. One person, one identity: letting someone else trade your account ends it.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes, a free demo from $10,000 to $200,000, the same sizes as the paid challenges, with the exact same rules, dashboard and engine as the real evaluation, for 14 days, restartable without limit.

The evaluation

How do the three challenges differ?+

The Builder (2-Step) has the most flexible rules: 8% then 5% targets, 4% daily / 8% max loss, news trading allowed, and up to $3,900 of reward bonus on your evaluation profits. The Sprinter (1-Step) is one phase, ~20% cheaper, with up to $2,400 of reward bonus on your evaluation profits. The Starter (Instant) is funded from day one with tighter limits and a static drawdown. Every rule of each program is public on the Programs page.

Is there a time limit?+

No. No time limit on any program. Minimum trading days exist to measure regularity, not to rush you.

What happens if I break a rule?+

A hard breach (daily loss, max loss) closes the account automatically and your dashboard shows exactly when and why, with the data. Behavioural rules are reviewed by a human before any action, and every decision is backed by recorded data you can request.

Can I reset or retry?+

Yes, a reset costs 30% less than a new account. It stays available for 14 days after the account is closed, up to three times. Volume pricing also applies: −10% on the second account, −15% on the third.

Payouts & rewards

When can I request my first payout?+

14 days after going funded (bi-weekly and on demand on The Starter), then every 14 days. Identity verification (KYC) happens before the first payout, never after.

How fast are payouts processed?+

Every compliant request is processed within 48 business hours, or we add €200 to your payout, automatically. Paid in EUR by SEPA, by wire, or in crypto. 0% withdrawal fees, always.

What is the consistency rule?+

No single winning trade may represent more than 40% (Builder), 33% (Sprinter) or 25% (Starter) of a payout period's profit. Your status is visible live in your dashboard, never discovered at payout. It protects the payout reserve, which protects the traders who get paid.

How does the fee refund work?+

Your one-time fee is refunded in full with your second payout. At Tier 2 it is refunded regardless. No conditions in the fine print.

What is the evaluation reward bonus?+

Up to $2,400 on The Sprinter and up to $3,900 on The Builder. It equals 15% of the profits you generated during the evaluation, so the ceiling follows your account size and your target. It unlocks at Tier 2 of the scaling plan, once your funded account has run three months, 10% cumulative profit and two payouts.

Company & trust

Is the capital real? At what point exactly?+

Evaluation and funded accounts are simulated, we say it on every page. Replication on our own real capital starts for qualified traders of the allocation program (Tier 3), at our discretion. Rewards are always calculated on your simulated performance, whether or not a trade is replicated.

Are you regulated?+

Simulated evaluation services sit outside the regulatory perimeter of brokerage: we never hold your funds for trading and never execute your orders on real markets. The replication program uses exclusively the company's own capital, structured with counsel. We are a UK company, and we publish who we are, where we are, and every legal document that governs the service, on the Legal page.

What happens if you shut down?+

The payout reserve is kept separate from operating funds, and every commitment we publish is designed to be verifiable: the registry, the processing times, the rules changelog.

How do I contact support?+

Live chat and email (support@abook-funded.uk) 09:00–23:00 CET, 7 days a week, first reply under 5 minutes. Phone: +33 1 89 62 63 60. Support in 7 languages, live translation for the rest.
