Traders who complete a Challenge may be reviewed separately for admission to the Funded Trader Programme." }, "howWorks": { "q": "How does the challenge work?", "a": "Purchase and trade a simulated Challenge using live market data under the selected rules. Passing makes you eligible for a separate funded-stage review. If ZoneX approves admission, you must accept the Funded Trader Services Agreement, Account Schedule and Funded Trader Rules before activation." }, "purchaseChallenge": { "q": "How do I purchase a challenge?", "a": "Go to the Start Challenge section.\n\n1.

Complete your purchase. Click Continue, complete the checkout process (pay by crypto or card), and your challenge will be activated. Your challenge credentials are typically delivered within minutes." }, "payoutTiming": { "q": "How long do payouts take?", "a": "The first Performance Remuneration request may be submitted after the timing and Qualifying Performance conditions in the Funded Trader Rules and Account Schedule are met. Full KYC and identity-based sanctions screening must be completed before payment. Standard requests target processing within 24 hours and a maximum standard review period of 48 hours, subject to justified additional review." }, "payoutGuaranteed": { "q": "Is my payout guaranteed if I follow the rules?", "a": "Properly earned Performance Remuneration is processed under the funded-stage documents after the applicable Qualifying Performance, rule-compliance, verification and payment conditions are met. It may be withheld, rejected or adjusted only on justified grounds stated in those documents or required by law." }, "simulatedAccounts": { "q": "Are the challenge accounts live or simulated?", "a": "Challenge accounts are simulated and use live market data. After separate review and approval, a funded-stage Trading Environment may remain simulated or, where ZoneX separately elects, may involve ZoneX-owned proprietary capital. The trader does not own or control the underlying capital." }, "terminalLogin": { "q": "How do I log into the terminal and start trading?", "a": "Log in and click <1>Launch Terminal." }, "terminalDocs": { "q": "Where do I find instructions for the Trading Terminal?", "a": "Here you will find detailed instructions for the Trading Terminal." }, "exchanges": { "q": "Which exchanges are supported?", "a": "We support Binance (USD-M Futures), Bybit (Linear/Inverse Perpetuals), OKX (Futures and Perpetual Swaps), Hyperliquid (On-chain Perpetuals), Phemex (USDT Perpetuals), Gate.io (Perpetual Contracts), CoinW (USDT Perpetuals), and KuCoin (USDT Perpetuals)." }, "leverage": { "q": "What is the available leverage?", "a": "Leverage depends on two things: your account type and the pair you're trading.\n\n- Futures accounts — leverage is available on every pair. The maximum is set per pair by the exchange your account runs on: big pairs like BTC and ETH typically allow up to 100×, smaller coins have lower limits. The order form always shows the exact maximum for the pair you have open, and it won't let you go above it.\n\n- Spot accounts — no leverage at all (1×, long-only). That's what \"Spot\" means.\n\nOne important thing for challenge accounts: high leverage does not loosen the rules. Drawdown, daily/weekly loss, position-size and exposure limits all still apply — and if a position gets liquidated, the challenge fails immediately.\n\nLeverage makes both directions faster, including the losing one." }, "tradeAllPairs": { "q": "Can we trade all pairs?", "a": "Yes. You can trade virtually every market your selected exchange offers. Your account is connected to one of our ten supported exchanges (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Gate.io, Phemex, CoinW, KuCoin, Hyperliquid, Bitget, or Aster), giving you access to that exchange's full range of USDT-quoted markets—USDT perpetual futures on futures accounts, or USDT spot pairs on spot accounts.\n\nWe do not restrict or whitelist trading pairs. If you cannot find a particular pair in the symbol search, it simply is not listed by that exchange. If the pair is available on another supported exchange, you can choose that exchange instead." }, "performanceIncentive": { "q": "What's the performance incentive?", "a": "The applicable Performance Remuneration percentage is recorded in the Account Schedule for the approved Account Configuration. It does not change automatically through payout-count milestones." }, "freeRetry": { "q": "Can I get a free retry if I fail the challenge?", "a": "Free retry — if your realized profit reached 5% at any point before you failed, you get another attempt at no cost, even if the account subsequently breached the daily loss limit or maximum drawdown. Realized profit is measured on closed, filled trades; an unrealized equity peak that is later given back does not qualify. One retry per purchase. It is not available on purchases made with a discount, coupon or promotional offer. The retry creates a fresh account with the same size and rules. ZoneX reserves the right to deny a retry in cases of reckless, abusive, or non-systematic trading behavior." }, "minProfitableDays": { "q": "How many profitable trading days are required before a Performance Remuneration request?", "a": "You must meet the minimum profitable trading-day requirement in the funded-stage documents before requesting Performance Remuneration. This is not a withdrawal from a participant-owned balance." }, "timeLimit": { "q": "Is there a time limit to pass the challenge?", "a": "No. ZoneX challenges have no maximum duration and no minimum trading days — take as long as you need to reach the profit target without breaching the daily or total drawdown limits. There is no calendar deadline pressuring you to over-trade." }, "tradeHours": { "q": "Can I trade overnight or on weekends?", "a": "Yes. Crypto markets run 24/7 and ZoneX places no restrictions on session, news, or weekend trading. You can hold positions overnight and across weekends. The only time-based event you need to plan around is the daily drawdown reset at 02:00 Europe/Zurich." }, "tradingDayDefinition": { "q": "What counts as a 'trading day' for disbursement eligibility?", "a": "A trading day is any 24-hour period (00:00–23:59 Europe/Zurich) in which you open at least one position that is held for a minimum of 3 minutes and risks at least 0.1% of account equity. Challenges have no minimum trading days — this definition applies only to the profitable-trading-day condition for performance-based remuneration under a Funded Trader Arrangement." }, "holdThroughReset": { "q": "Can I hold positions through the 02:00 Europe/Zurich daily reset?", "a": "Yes. Positions remain open across the reset. At 02:00 Europe/Zurich, your closing balance for the day becomes the new reference point for the next day's daily drawdown limit. Your total drawdown floor is not affected — it is static, calculated from your initial account balance, and never moves. Open positions are not closed, modified, or affected by the reset itself; only the daily drawdown calculation is refreshed." }, "withdrawals": { "q": "How do Performance Remuneration requests work?", "a": "A Performance Remuneration request asks ZoneX to discharge a contractual remuneration obligation under the funded-stage documents. It is not a withdrawal of participant-owned profits or a customer balance. Timing, minimums, Qualifying Performance, verification and review conditions are set out in the Funded Trader Rules and Account Schedule." }, "payoutSetup": { "q": "How do I set up my payout details, and when is identity verification required?", "a": "Payment instructions are recorded for Performance Remuneration. Full KYC and identity-based sanctions screening must be completed no later than before the first payment, unless earlier checks are required by law, sanctions restrictions, fraud or compliance concerns, or a relevant third party. Activation of ordinary simulated funded-stage activity does not automatically require full KYC.", "topic": "withdrawals" }, "kycRequirements": { "q": "What identity verification documents are required, and when must screening be completed?", "a": "Full KYC and identity-based sanctions screening must be completed no later than before the first Performance Remuneration payment, unless earlier checks are required by law, sanctions restrictions, fraud or compliance concerns, or a relevant third party. ZoneX may request a government-issued photo ID, recent proof of address and liveness check. Full KYC is not automatically required before ordinary simulated funded-stage activity." }, "fullTimeline": { "q": "What is the full timeline from Challenge start to a Funded Trader Arrangement?", "a": "Step 1 — Purchase and complete the simulated Challenge. Step 2 — ZoneX conducts a separate funded-stage eligibility and Challenge-integrity review. Step 3 — If ZoneX approves admission, accept the Funded Trader Services Agreement, applicable Account Schedule and Funded Trader Rules. Step 4 — ZoneX activates the funded-stage Account Configuration. Step 5 — Complete full KYC and identity-based sanctions screening no later than before the first Performance Remuneration payment, unless earlier checks are required." }, "tradingTerminal": { "q": "How do I use the trading terminal and place my first trade?", "a": "Log in to the ZoneX Terminal at <1>zonex.trading/login. To trade your own crypto, connect your supported exchange account via API and select it in the account selector. To trade a purchased Challenge, select your simulated Challenge account instead.\n\nTo place a trade:\n1. Choose a ticker in the watchlist or use the search box.\n2. Open the order panel for that ticker.\n3. Select your order type: Market, Limit, Stop, or Stop-Limit.\n4. Enter your position size and leverage (if applicable).\n5. Set a stop-loss and take-profit for every trade.\n6. Click Buy or Sell to open the position.\n\nYour active positions, open orders, account balance, and available drawdown are shown in the same dashboard. For detailed instructions, see the Trading Terminal documentation." }, "withdrawalTimeline": { "q": "After I pass, when can I request Performance Remuneration?", "a": "Passing creates eligibility for a separate funded-stage review; it does not create a payment right. If approved, you must accept the funded-stage documents before activation. A request becomes available only after the timing and Qualifying Performance conditions in the Funded Trader Rules and Account Schedule are met, with full KYC completed before payment unless required earlier." }, "rulesSummary": { "q": "What are the trading rules, in plain language?", "a": "Every challenge has a clearly defined set of rules covering areas such as daily drawdown, maximum drawdown, profit targets, and risk management. The exact limits depend on the challenge type and account selected, but all requirements are published in advance and remain transparent throughout the evaluation.\n\nIn addition to the core trading limits, every position must have a stop-loss attached. There are no minimum trading days. Some challenge types may include additional risk management requirements, such as maximum risk per trade or minimum reward-to-risk ratios.\n\nThere are no arbitrary time limits, no weekend restrictions, and no news trading restrictions. What you see is what you get—know exactly what you're being evaluated on before you begin." }, "dailyDrawdownMath": { "q": "How is my daily drawdown calculated?", "a": "Your daily starting balance is your account's equity at the daily reset (02:00 Europe/Zurich). That equity becomes your fixed reference point for the next 24 hours.\n\nYour daily drawdown limit is calculated from that fixed starting balance and does not move during the day, even if you make profits. Any profits earned during the trading day increase your buffer for that day, but they do not raise the daily drawdown threshold until the next daily reset.\n\nThe platform continuously monitors live equity (cash plus unrealized profit or loss). If your live equity reaches or falls below the daily drawdown limit at any time, the challenge is breached immediately—even if the market later recovers.\n\nCan I open a trade that risks more than my remaining daily drawdown?\n\nYou can, but doing so creates a significant risk of breaching the challenge.\n\nBefore entering a trade, compare your remaining daily drawdown with the maximum potential loss between your entry price and stop-loss. If the worst-case loss exceeds your remaining drawdown, your account may breach the challenge before or when your stop-loss is executed, particularly if there is slippage.\n\nAs a best practice, always size your positions so the maximum possible loss remains comfortably below your remaining daily drawdown, leaving additional room for trading fees and slippage." }, "whereToFindChallenge": { "q": "I purchased a challenge. Where do I find it?", "a": "Log in and click <1>Launch Terminal.\n\nOnce the Trading Terminal opens, you'll see your challenge account in the top toolbar. Click it, select your challenge from the drop-down menu, and you're ready to start trading." }, "tradeThroughExchangeOrZonex": { "q": "Do I trade my challenge through the exchange or directly through ZoneX?", "a": "You trade your challenge directly through the ZoneX Trading Terminal at <1>zonex.trading, not on the exchange's native website or app.\n\nMarket Data & Fees: The exchange you choose (such as Binance, Bybit, OKX, or Hyperliquid) provides the live market data, order book pricing, trading fees, and funding rates for your evaluation.\n\nExecution & Control: All challenge trades are simulated — orders are matched against the exchange's live market data and order-book pricing, but are never sent to the live exchange. You log into the ZoneX platform to place trades, manage positions, set stop-losses, and track your daily and total drawdown limits in real time.\n\nOnce you purchase a challenge, your account setup and trading access are handled directly at <2>zonex.trading." }, "chartsDoNotMatch": { "q": "Why am I seeing a message that the charts do not match?", "a": "This usually means you are viewing a chart from a different exchange than the exchange you selected when purchasing your challenge.\n\nTo place a trade:\n1. Select the challenge account connected to the exchange you chose when purchasing your challenge.\n2. Open and trade a symbol from that same exchange.\n\nFor example, if you selected Bybit when purchasing your challenge, you must select your Bybit challenge account and use the Bybit version of the trading symbol.\n\nZoneX blocks the trade when the chart's exchange and the selected challenge account do not match.\n\nWe recommend completing the short platform tour, which explains how to select the correct challenge account and exchange symbols." }, "connectOwnExchange": { "q": "Do I need to connect my own exchange account for a Challenge?", "a": "No. You do not need to connect your personal exchange account or install a webhook, plugin, browser extension, or API key.\n\nYour ZoneX challenge account is already connected to the exchange you selected when purchasing the challenge.\n\nIf you cannot place a trade, check that:\n1. You have selected the correct ZoneX challenge account.\n2. The chart symbol is from the same exchange as your challenge account.\n\nTo trade your own crypto through the free Terminal instead, connect your supported personal exchange account via API.\n\nIf the issue persists after checking these settings, contact dev@zonex.pro." }, "oneStepOnly": { "q": "How many evaluation phases does a ZoneX Challenge have?", "a": "One. Every ZoneX Challenge uses a single evaluation phase. There is no second evaluation phase and no minimum number of trading days: you may complete the Challenge as soon as you meet the profit objective while remaining within all published risk rules." }, "freeChallengeWithTerminal": { "q": "Is the ZoneX Terminal free?", "a": "Yes. Connect your own account at a supported exchange via API and use the ZoneX Terminal for free. You do not need to purchase a Challenge. Optional paid premium features are available inside the Terminal." }, "payoutForPassing": { "a": "No payment is earned merely by passing. Passing makes you eligible for a separate funded-stage review. If ZoneX approves admission and the funded-stage documents are accepted, Qualifying Performance after activation may create a right to Performance Remuneration under the Funded Trader Rules and Account Schedule. See the Funded Trader Rules." }, "payoutIfProfitable": { "a": "Passing and later positive simulated results do not by themselves guarantee payment.

See the Funded Trader Rules." }, "howLongUntilPayouts": { "a": "There is no payment for passing the Challenge.

For leveraged configurations, the applicable liquidation distance is derived from the execution venue's published margin requirements for that instrument, leverage and position size, and is not set by ZoneX. A stop-loss order may not be placed further from the entry price than 90% of that distance. Placement or modification of a stop-loss exceeding this limit, and any change of leverage causing an existing position to exceed it, constitute a breach, and the account is terminated. This liquidation-distance restriction applies to leveraged configurations; an unleveraged Spot configuration has no leveraged liquidation threshold. Where a venue does not publish its risk-limit ladder, a conservative estimate of the liquidation distance is applied and is identified as an estimate where displayed. A simulated liquidation of a position constitutes an independent and unconditional breach, irrespective of any drawdown threshold.", "p2": "An immediate account failure does not prevent the participant from challenging an erroneous determination through the Complaints Procedure." }, "section11": { "title": "11.
