Funded Academy Launches as a Prop Firm Where Traders Can Learn, Qualify, and Get Funded in One Platform
Ajman, UAE, May 13th, 2026, FinanceWire
Funded Academy has officially launched, introducing a proprietary trading platform built around a single idea: trading should be a process of learning, proving, and evolving, not just passing a challenge. The firm enters the market with a structure that combines education, evaluation, and funding into one continuous environment, allowing traders to develop their skills while working toward funded opportunities.
From Learning to Funding, in One System
Funded Academy is built to guide traders through a complete journey. Instead of separating education from execution, the platform connects both. Traders begin by selecting a program such as the 1-Step Challenge with an 85% profit split or the 2-Step Challenge with an 80% split, progress through a structured evaluation, and move into funded accounts once performance criteria are met. Each stage is designed to reflect how traders actually grow, focusing on consistency and decision-making rather than short-term outcomes.
Competitive Entry and High-Reward Scaling
The platform offers diverse entry points to suit every trader's needs:
- 2-Step Challenge Pricing: Accounts range from $5k ($49.99) to $200k ($1,080.99).
- 1-Step Challenge Pricing: Streamlined accounts from $5k ($55.88) to $100k ($576.88).
- Performance Scaling: Traders can qualify to increase their account balance by 40%, with profit splits rising to an industry-leading 95%.
- Maximum Growth: Traders can reach a maximum allocation of $1,000,000 based on performance.
Built Around Real Trading Conditions
Trading takes place on MetaTrader 5 and cTrader, two of the most widely used platforms in the industry. The environment is designed to mirror real market conditions. Funded Academy emphasizes discipline, with clearly defined rules:
- Drawdown Limits: 2-Step accounts feature a 10% overall drawdown, while 1-Step accounts use an 8% trailing drawdown.
- Leverage: Access up to 1:100 leverage on Forex for 2-Step Challenges.
- Transparency: No consistency rules apply to any account types, and KYC is required only after successfully completing the challenge phases.
Support That Stays Active
A key part of the platform is its 24/7 support system (support@fundedacademy.com). Traders have access to real assistance at any time, reducing delays and keeping the focus on trading rather than troubleshooting. The platform is accessible across desktop, web, and mobile devices, allowing to monitor and manage accounts from anywhere.
Straightforward Payout Structure
Funded Academy offers a clear payout model. Each trading cycle is 2 weeks, and the first payout is available on demand. Once passed, traders can receive their funded accounts within 12 hours of completing KYC. All rules, including a $0 commission on Indices, are defined in advance to create a predictable structure.
Designed for Long-Term Development
Founder and CEO Mohammed Salehuddin Azad states that the platform was created to address a common gap in the industry: many traders have the skills but lack the structure to apply them consistently. Funded Academy focuses on building that environment and supporting steady progress so that traders can refine their approach over time.
Expanding Beyond Trading: The Partner Program
In addition to its trading programs, Funded Academy includes an affiliate program for creators and trading communities.
- Tiered Commissions: Partners earn between 15% (Tier 1) and 20% (Tier 3) on first-time purchases.
- Reliable Payouts: Commissions are processed via Crypto (in reliable payouts) or RISEWORKS within 24 to 48 hours after approval.
Trading & Account Flexibility
- No Consistency Rules: There are no consistency rules applied to any account type, allowing traders more freedom in their strategy execution.
- High Profit Splits: Traders start with an 80% to 85% profit split, which can be increased to 95% through the scale-up program.
- Rapid Funding and Payouts: Funded accounts are issued within 12 hours of completing KYC, and the first payout is available on demand.
- Generous Drawdown Limits: The 2-Step Challenge offers a 10% overall drawdown, while the 1-Step Challenge offers a 8% trailing drawdown.
- Zero Commission on Indices: Trading indices features a $ 0-per-lot commission structure.
- Flexible News Trading: Trade freely during medium and low-impact news across all accounts, with a simple 2-minute restriction around high-impact releases for funded accounts only, while challenge accounts remain unrestricted.
