Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using Tradova's website and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our services. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the service.

2. Description of Services

Tradova provides proprietary trading evaluation and funding services. We offer two program types: a 2-Step Challenge evaluation where traders demonstrate their skills through two phases before receiving a funded account, and an Instant Funding option that provides immediate funded account access. All account sizes range from $10,000 to $500,000. All prices are in EUR.

3. Account Registration

To use our services, you must:

• Be at least 18 years of age
• Provide accurate and complete registration information
• Maintain the security of your account credentials
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account
• Not create multiple accounts for the same person

You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account.

4. Challenge Rules and Evaluation

Our 2-Step Challenge evaluation consists of two phases:

• Phase 1: Reach the profit target of 8% while respecting the 5% daily loss limit and 10% maximum drawdown. Minimum 3 trading days required. No time limit — trade at your own pace.
• Phase 2: Reach a profit target of 5% with the same risk rules. Minimum 3 trading days. No time limit. No consistency rule applies during challenge phases.

Specific rules for each plan are displayed on the pricing page and confirmed at purchase. All challenge breaches are hard breaches — immediate failure with no warnings. A 15% retry discount code is auto-issued upon failure, valid for 30 days. Tradova reserves the right to review trading activity and make final determinations on rule compliance.

5. Payments and Pricing

All prices are denominated in EUR. All purchases are final and non-refundable. Challenge fees are one-time payments and do not recur. A 15% retry discount is automatically issued after a challenge breach, valid for 30 days on any account size. Retry discounts are not combinable with other promotions.

6. Funded Accounts and Profit Sharing

Upon successfully completing both evaluation phases:

• You will receive a funded trading account with real capital
• Profit split is progressive by payout: 70% on 1st payout, 80% on 2nd, 85% on 3rd and beyond (2-Step Challenge). Instant Funding: 70% → 75% → 80%
• Payouts are processed exclusively via USDT (TRC-20) to your designated wallet
• First payout eligibility: 14 calendar days after account activation. Payout cycle: bi-weekly (2-Step funded and Instant Funding). Processing time: 1–3 business days
• Minimum payout: 5% of account balance. All open positions must be closed before requesting a payout. No new trades may be opened from payout request until approval — violation results in payout void and account breach
• Daily profit cap of 2% applies to funded and Instant Funding accounts — profits above 2% per day are permanently removed (this is NOT a breach, your account stays active). Daily consistency rule: no single day may exceed 30% of total cycle profit. Trade idea concentration: no single trade idea may exceed 30% of total cycle profit
• Maximum total funded capital per person across all accounts: $500,000. This includes both funded and Instant Funding accounts. Challenge accounts do not count toward this limit. Account sizes and trading balances are denominated in USD
• KYC is not required for purchase, trading, or payouts. However, Tradova reserves the right to request identity verification if an account is flagged for suspicious activity. Failure to verify within 7 days results in account termination

7. Prohibited Activities

Users are prohibited from:

• High-frequency trading (HFT), tick scalping, or latency arbitrage
• Hedging — holding opposing positions across accounts in same or correlated instruments
• Account sharing — allowing any third party to access or trade your account
• Cross-member trade mirroring — copying trades from other Tradova members (auto-detected, results in hard breach)
• Coordinated group trading — using multiple accounts to systematically extract payouts
• Trading during a pending payout review — results in payout void and account breach

8. Allowed Practices

The following are explicitly permitted across all account types:

• Expert Advisors (EAs) and automated bots — no HFT or tick scalping
• Overnight and weekend position holding
• Copy trading from your own accounts only
• News trading — fully free during challenges; restricted ±2 minutes (funded) or ±5 minutes (instant) around high-impact events on funded/instant accounts. Pre-set take-profit and stop-loss orders that trigger automatically are always allowed, even during the restriction window
• Partial position management (splitting into multiple entries)
• Third-party commercial signals — trader accepts full responsibility for rule compliance

9. Intellectual Property

All content, trademarks, logos, and intellectual property on this website are owned by Tradova or its licensors. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any content without our prior written consent.

10. Limitation of Liability

Tradova shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or other intangible losses, resulting from your use of or inability to use the service. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific challenge in question.

11. Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for rule violations, prohibited activities, or risk to our operations. There are two types of breaches: (1) Hard breach — account terminated immediately, all profits forfeited, no appeal. Triggers: daily loss limit, max drawdown, hedging across accounts, HFT, account sharing, cross-member mirroring, fraud, trading during payout review, or a second offense of any soft breach. (2) Soft breach — first offense results in a formal warning; account stays active but payout may be denied for that cycle. Triggers: consistency rule violation, trade idea concentration violation, or news trading violation. A second violation of the same type becomes a hard breach. All challenge breaches are hard breaches — immediate failure with no warnings.

12. Governing Law

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration.

13. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting. Continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of the modified terms. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes via email.
