Frequently Asked Questions

Terminator Trader uses a structured evaluation to assess a trader’s discipline, risk management, and consistency. You trade in a simulated environment and must meet the profit target while following equity-based rules. Successful traders move into the funded phase.

No. All trading takes place in a simulated environment that mirrors real market conditions. This allows traders to demonstrate performance without risking personal funds.

Once you’re in the funded phase and meet the payout requirements, you can request a payout. Terminator Trader will issue payments in USDC, bank transfer, or other supported methods.

Each plan has defined objectives, including a profit target, maximum daily loss, maximum overall drawdown, and other trading parameters. Consistently managing your equity within these guidelines is required to advance.

If a rule is broken — such as exceeding daily loss or maximum drawdown — the evaluation is marked as unsuccessful. Traders can start a new evaluation at any time.

Participants must be from approved jurisdictions and meet minimum age requirements. KYC verification is required before any payout during the funded phase to comply with AML and regulatory standards.
