What is Velotrade?

Velotrade is a multi-asset proprietary trading firm offering evaluation challenges across Crypto, Forex, Stocks, Indices, and Commodities. Founded by veteran derivatives traders from JP Morgan, Dresdner Kleinwort, and Bank of America, Velotrade combines institutional-grade market expertise with a modern evaluation model featuring three plans: CLASSIC 1-Step, CLASSIC 2-Step, and PRO 1-Step — with account sizes from $5,000 to $200,000 and profit splits of 80-90%.

What plans does Velotrade offer?

Velotrade offers three evaluation plans: CLASSIC 1-Step (single-phase, $5K-$100K, 10% target, 4% daily loss, 7% static drawdown, from $67/$54 with promo), CLASSIC 2-Step (two-phase, $5K-$100K, 10%/5% targets, 5% daily loss, 10% static drawdown, from $54/$43 with promo), and PRO 1-Step (single-phase, $5K-$200K, 10% target, 3% daily loss, 3% static drawdown, from $40/$32 with promo). All plans offer 80-90% profit split and have no time limits.

What is the AIRCON20 promo code?

AIRCON20 is Velotrade's promotional code that gives 20% off all entry fees. With the promo, CLASSIC 1-Step drops from $67 to $54 (save $13), CLASSIC 2-Step drops from $54 to $43 (save $11), and PRO 1-Step drops from $40 to $32 (save $8). This makes the PRO 1-Step the most affordable option at just $32 to start.

What account sizes are available?

Velotrade offers account sizes from $5,000 to $200,000. The CLASSIC 1-Step and CLASSIC 2-Step plans go up to $100,000, while the PRO 1-Step is the only plan that reaches $200,000. This makes the PRO 1-Step ideal for traders seeking the largest funded accounts.

What is the profit split at Velotrade?

Velotrade offers a profit split of 80-90%. The base profit split is 80%, and traders can achieve up to 90% by purchasing the +20% add-on. This means on a $100K funded account, a trader keeps $80,000-$90,000 of profits generated, with the remainder going to Velotrade.

What is the profit target?

All Velotrade plans have a 10% profit target, except for Phase 2 of the CLASSIC 2-Step plan, which has a 5% profit target. For the 1-step plans (CLASSIC 1-Step and PRO 1-Step), you need to reach 10% once to get funded. For the CLASSIC 2-Step, you need to reach 10% in Phase 1 and 5% in Phase 2.

What are the drawdown rules?

Velotrade uses static drawdown (not trailing). The PRO 1-Step has the tightest drawdown at 3% static, the CLASSIC 1-Step has 7% static, and the CLASSIC 2-Step has the most relaxed at 10% static. Daily loss limits are 3% (PRO), 4% (CLASSIC 1-Step), and 5% (CLASSIC 2-Step). The tighter the drawdown, the more disciplined you need to be.

Is there a time limit?

No. All Velotrade plans have no time limits, meaning you can take as long as you need to complete the evaluation. There is a 5-day minimum trading days requirement on all plans, so you cannot get funded in less than a week, but there is no maximum time constraint.

What asset classes can I trade?

Velotrade offers 5 asset classes: Crypto (BTC, ETH, SOL — 24/7 trading, no session windows, highest leverage), Forex (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY — up to 50x leverage on challenge phase), Stocks (TSLA, AAPL, MSFT — trade without owning shares or settlement risk), Indices (SPY, QQQ — news trading allowed, no consistency rule), and Commodities (XAU, XAG, CL — gold, silver, oil, metals through news events on funded accounts).

Can I trade crypto 24/7?

Yes. Crypto trading on Velotrade is available 24/7 with no session windows, and crypto has the highest leverage in the evaluation model. This is a significant advantage over traditional markets that have specific trading hours, allowing crypto traders to capitalize on opportunities at any time.

Is news trading allowed?

Yes, news trading is allowed on indices (SPY, QQQ) with no consistency rule. For commodities, trading is done through news events on a funded account. This gives traders flexibility to capitalize on market-moving news and economic events without the restrictions some prop firms impose.
