# Public pages you can read before you buy

These pages do not need a login. They explain the journey, brokers, platforms, scaling, rankings, and headlines. Live trading risk still uses the in-panel news calendar after you have an account.

## Step 1: Journey, brokers, platforms, scaling

[How it works](https://smpfund.com/how-it-works) is the story of evaluation → funded in marketing language. The binding numbers stay on [Trading Rules](https://smpfund.com/trading-rules) and the card on the [Shop](https://smpfund.com/shop).

[Brokers](https://smpfund.com/brokers) names the trading servers we use. [Platforms](https://smpfund.com/platforms) covers MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4. Your locked choice is still the one on [Credentials](https://smpfund.com/account/credentials) after purchase.

[Scaling](https://smpfund.com/scaling) explains how a funded account can grow if you meet published conditions — it is not a button that prints money on day one.

Company story: [About](https://smpfund.com/about). Live site health: [Status](https://smpfund.com/status).

## Step 2: Leaderboard, headlines, blog, contact

[Leaderboard](https://smpfund.com/leaderboard) shows ranked traders for marketing. It is not your personal [Trader dashboard](https://smpfund.com/account).

[Economic news](https://smpfund.com/economic-news) is a public headline calendar. When you already have a challenge, restricted windows still follow [News calendar](https://smpfund.com/account/news-calendar) inside the panel.

[Blog](https://smpfund.com/blog) is articles. [FAQ](https://smpfund.com/faq) is short answers. [Contact](https://smpfund.com/contact) is for people who cannot open [Tickets](https://smpfund.com/account/tickets) yet. Search the site via [Search](https://smpfund.com/search) if you are lost.

[Payout info](https://smpfund.com/payout-info) is marketing language for profit split. Public examples of past payouts (if we publish them) are on [Payout proof](https://smpfund.com/payout-proof). Company terms: [Legal](https://smpfund.com/legal). Sharing shop links: [Affiliate program](https://smpfund.com/affiliate-program). If a waitlist form is open: [Pre-sale](https://smpfund.com/pre-sale).

## Related guides

- [If you are new: what this site is](https://smpfund.com/help/how-the-site-works): This is a prop-trading site. You buy a challenge (a test account), trade on MetaTrader with our rules, and if you pass you may get a funded account and a payout. You do not need to know jargon yet — start here.
- [Where the real rules live (and what this help center is)](https://smpfund.com/help/rules-and-faq): Trading Rules is the full contract. FAQ is short answers. This help center is the how-to for buttons and MetaTrader. If they ever disagree, the contract pages win.
- [Buy a challenge when you have never done it](https://smpfund.com/help/buy-a-challenge): A challenge is a paid test account, not a live bank deposit and not MetaTrader access yet. Pick a program and size, pay the exact crypto amount, then wait. Fees are generally not refundable; a refund is possible only in special cases with admin approval. A challenge reset is a self-service discounted rebuy.
