Question 1

What is ITA FX?

Accepted Answer

ITA FX is a project looking for traders with experience. We have a tailored program that works as an assessment to verify the trading ability of each person. Once a trader successfully passes the assessment, the trader will receive a virtual ITA FX account with MT5. This person will then be eligible to receive a % of the profits generated within the account. Trading is not easy, and our project has helped multiple traders grow without taking large risks trading their own capital.

Question 2

How can I become funded by Institutional Trading Academy?

Accepted Answer

To become a funded trader, all you need to do is complete the assessment requirements through our Evaluation. For those looking to expedite the process and skip the challenge, it is possible to choose the Instant Funding option.

Question 3

What is an evaluation?

Accepted Answer

An Evaluation is a step in which you trade on a demo account to show that you are capable of meeting our requirements as a trader. Each account has its own requirements.

Question 4

What account sizes are available?

Accepted Answer

Our accounts include: $25,000 / $50,000 / $100,000 / $200,000 / $300,000 / $400,000

Question 5

What is the maximum allowed capital I can manage?

Accepted Answer

Traders can manage up to $1,000,000 in virtual capital, which can be in a single account, or split between smaller accounts.

Question 6

What happens if I violate a rule or do not meet the trading requirements?

Accepted Answer

If you violate one of the trading requirements during the assessment period, you will lose the eligibility for a funded account. If you violate a rule in a funded account, you will lose access to the funded capital and that specific trading account would be permanently closed. In this case, you are welcome to try again with a new account.  It is important to notice that not all violations happen automatically and in some cases, you will be notified by our risk team in case your account has violated our conditions. We also work with soft breaches and alerts, using a high-tech dashboard where traders can monitor their accounts along the way.
