Services Offered
X-Funded provides three main funding programs tailored to various trading strategies and experience levels: the 1-Phase Challenge, 2-Phase Challenge, and Instant Funding. These programs are structured to give traders access to substantial trading capital, allowing them to fully utilize their skills without time restrictions or capital limitations. Upon successfully completing either the 1-Phase or 2-Phase Challenge, traders will advance to a Funded Account, where they can begin trading with virtual capital under real market conditions.
1-Phase Challenge
The 1-Phase Challenge offers traders a faster route to funding by completing just one challenge phase before moving to a Funded Account. It’s designed for experienced traders who want a quicker start without multiple steps. Key features include:

2-Phase Challenge
The 2-Phase Challenge provides a more structured path to funding, requiring traders to complete two evaluation phases with set profit targets. It’s ideal for those who prefer a gradual approach to demonstrate consistency and discipline. Key features include:
- Profit Target: 8% in Phase 1 and 5% in Phase 2.
- Profit Split: Starts at 80%, and may increase up to 90% from the second payout onwards.
