DNA Funded

DNA Funded is a proprietary trading firm built around the concept of unlocking each trader's "financial blueprint." The firm's tagline is "Pick a challenge genetically curated for you" — offering five distinct challenge models designed to suit different trading approaches, experience levels, and goals. DNA Funded won the "Best Prop Firm Overall Award 2025" and allows traders to manage up to $600,000 in simulated funded capital.

DNA Funded's mission is to solve the number one problem most traders face: lack of capital. The firm offers challenges and funded accounts up to $200,000 (with scaling to $600,000) to traders who never had the ability to raise large capital on their own. All evaluations require a one-time payment — there are no ongoing monthly fees.

The firm offers five challenge models: 1 Phase (single evaluation), 2 Phase (two-step evaluation), Rapid (10 Days) (fast 10-day challenge), Instant Funding (skip evaluation entirely), and the unique 24-Hour Challenge (a fast-paced, stake-and-multiplier-based challenge with payouts available immediately). DNA Funded supports crypto payments, requires KYC at first withdrawal, and offers optional Challenge Boosters (add-ons) to enhance the evaluation experience.

5. 24-Hour Challenge

A unique, fast-paced challenge where you choose your stake, select your payout multiplier (2x, 5x, or 10x), and trade within a 24-hour window. Start with an initial balance of $20,000.

• Stake: Start from as low as $10
• Multiplier: 2x, 5x, or 10x (higher multiplier = higher drawdown and profit target)
• Drawdown: Trailing (moves up as your balance/equity increases, never moves back down)
• Profit Target: Based on stake and multiplier (e.g., $10 stake at 2x = $350 target)
• Symbol Limit: 75% per asset (no more than 75% of profit from one asset)
• Payout: 100% of initial access fee × multiplier (e.g., $100 fee at 10x = $1,000 payout)
• No 14-day waiting period — request payout immediately upon completion
• One active 24-hour challenge at a time

Challenge Boosters (Add-Ons)

DNA Funded offers specially curated boosters that can be added to any challenge at checkout for an enhanced evaluation experience:

Booster	Benefit
Profit Split	Increase your profit split from 80% to 90%
Profit Booster	Boost your profit cap to 7.5%
Early Payout	Shorten the payout waiting period to 7 days
Demo Reset	Reset your account if you fail during evaluation

Drawdown Rules

Daily Drawdown (Balance-Based, Static)

Daily drawdown is calculated from the end-of-day snapshot of the account balance at 10pm UTC. Formula: Previous Day's Balance × Limit / 100. For example, if the previous day's balance was $10,400 and the limit is 5%, the daily drawdown threshold is $10,400 × 5% = $520, so your balance must stay above $9,880.

Note: Daily drawdown is not applicable for Instant Funding accounts.

Total Drawdown

• 1 Phase, 2 Phase, and Rapid: Static — fixed percentage of the initial balance. Formula: Initial Balance × Limit / 100. Your maximum lifetime drawdown never changes.
• Instant Funding: Trailing — set at 4%. When your account makes profit, the drawdown limit rises accordingly. For example, a $10,000 account has a $9,600 floor; if it grows to $11,000, the floor adjusts to $10,560.
• 24-Hour Challenge: Trailing — moves up as your balance/equity increases and never moves back down.

Profit Distribution Rule

In the Funded Stage, trading profits generated on any single calendar day can only contribute up to a maximum percentage limit of your requested payout (up to the profit cap if applicable). For example, at a 30% distribution limit, your daily max contribution is $300 on a $1,000 payout request.

Payouts & Withdrawals

• Minimum Withdrawal: $100 after profit split (e.g., at 80% split, you need at least $125 in your account to receive the $100 minimum)
• 24-Hour Challenge Minimum: $10 (crypto only for payouts under $100)
• Payout Methods: Bank Transfer and Crypto for payouts over $100; Crypto only for payouts under $100
• 24-Hour Challenge Payout: 100% of initial access fee × multiplier, no 14-day waiting period — request immediately
• Early Payout Booster: Shorten the waiting period to 7 days

KYC (Know Your Customer)

KYC is required upon your initial withdrawal request. You'll need to provide:

• ID Verification: Clear, colored, legible photo of a valid passport or driver's license (both sides, all edges visible). Scanned IDs, blurry photos, and expired documents are not accepted.
• Likeness Check: A selfie image for likeness verification.

KYC checks are handled by a third-party provider, and their decisions are final. Failed KYC results in account closure with no refund.

Restricted Territories

Trading is prohibited from the following countries: Australia, Saint Lucia, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Myanmar, Russia (including Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk), Ukraine, Somalia, Syria, Central African Republic, Mali, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea-Bissau, Sudan, South Sudan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Yemen, Zimbabwe, and Libya.
