"Typical prop firm" reflects the most common published terms across leading challenge firms. Verify anything on this table against our rules spec — it's public.
The only question that matters: do they pay?
Every payout is certified, logged, and published. Here's the running total — and the ledger behind it.
These are real "Official Funded Trader" certificates issued to QT Funded traders, co-signed by co-founders James Manto and A.J. Goodwin. Each carries a scannable QR code for independent verification — not a stock graphic.
Interviews with funded traders — not actors, not stock photography.

Up to 10% of profits back — or a full refund — across your first 3 breaches.
Most firms put a guarantee on the homepage and an "all payments are final" clause in the Terms. We put the promise in both places, word for word. If our marketing and our contract ever disagree, the version that favours you wins.

In the order traders actually ask them — starting with the uncomfortable ones.
QT Funded is the prop trading arm of Quant Tekel, a broker licensed by South Africa's FSCA — Quant Tekel (Pty) Ltd, FSP 53227. The UK entity, Quant Tekel Ltd (Company No. 15923693), operates from Level 39, One Canada Square, London. Challenge accounts are simulated; funded trading is hedged through the parent broker's live infrastructure. You're dealing with a licensed financial services group run by named founders — James Manto and A.J. Goodwin, the same two signatures on every payout certificate above — not an anonymous website.
On QT 2 Step you're eligible every 14 days; QT Power pays on demand. Once you request a payout, we process it within 48 hours — that's a written SLA, not an aspiration. Payouts go out via Rise, crypto, or bank wire, and every one is added to the public ledger above.
Only what's on the published list: breaching a drawdown limit, latency/gap arbitrage, cross-firm hedging of the same positions, or trading someone else's account. If a strategy isn't on the prohibited list, it can't be used against you — there is no "toxic flow" discretion clause. Read the full prohibited-strategy spec; it's versioned and public.
The Performance Promise covers your first 3 breaches: you receive up to 10% of the profits you made before the breach — or a full refund of your fee. It's Clause 8.4 of the Terms, applied automatically. And your challenge fee is refunded with your first payout when you pass.
Fair question — it's why this page shows receipts instead of adjectives. QT Funded launched in 2023, but it's backed by an FSCA-licensed brokerage group, and every payout is published: certificates co-signed by the founders, and a public ledger with dates, amounts, and methods. Judge the record, not the age — $17M+ paid across 110+ countries, all verifiable above.
MT5, cTrader, and TradeLocker — TradeLocker includes full TradingView chart integration. Pick your platform at checkout; specs and pricing are identical across all three. (MT5 is unavailable to US residents.)
Two ways, and neither is "your losses": challenge fees fund the evaluation business, and funded-trader flow is hedged through our parent broker, which earns from execution — spreads and volume — the way any licensed broker does. The more you win and the longer you stay funded, the more we make. That's the entire model, and it's why we can afford to publish it.
