Frequently Asked Questions

Traders Launch is a US-based futures prop firm established in November 2022, rated 4.6 out of 5 on Trustpilot. Unusually, funded traders are transferred to a real live brokerage account with Interactive Brokers, NinjaTrader or T3 Global after completing a contract and KYC, rather than trading a permanent simulated account.
After passing the evaluation you must grow the account by 1% — $101,000 on a $100,000 account. Trading is then paused, a contract and KYC are sent by email, and you are moved to a partnered live brokerage. The live account starts at $101,000 with the drawdown locked at $100,000.
$100,000, $200,000 and $300,000. Position limits start at 5 micros on the 100K, 1 mini on the 200K and 2 minis on the 300K, scaling up to 15 mini contracts on all sizes.
You can withdraw any profit above the 1% buffer zone. There are no payout caps — withdrawals can be as small as $200 or as large as the full balance in one request, with a $200 minimum before the split. Crypto payouts use USDT on Solana and typically process in 1 to 5 minutes; bank transfers run weekly and can take up to 3 days.
