Why SMPFund?
Not marketing fluff. Fourteen concrete things that make SMPFund different — each one linked to the documentation.
Built around how traders actually trade
Most prop firms sell a fixed box: one drawdown model, one time limit, one platform, and a rulebook you only understand after you fail.
SMPFund starts from the opposite direction. You shape the challenge, the rules are published and enforced by a transparent engine, and every decision — a warning, a breach, a payout — leaves a record you can read.
What makes SMPFund different?
Custom Challenge Builder
Choose account size, challenge type and add-ons yourself instead of picking from a fixed shelf. You see the resulting price and rules before you pay.
Read the documentationStatic drawdown options
Prime and Rapid challenges use a static drawdown anchored to your starting balance, so your loss limit does not creep upward as your equity grows. Other models, such as Instant, are labelled clearly on the package.
Read the documentationNo evaluation time limit
Take the time your strategy needs. There is no countdown forcing you into low-quality trades just to beat a deadline.
Read the documentationNews trading
News trading is allowed on Prime and Rapid. Within ±15 minutes of a high-impact event, only 40% of the profit counts while 100% of any loss counts. It is not allowed on Instant. Flagged trades are shown to you, not hidden.
Read the documentationWeekend holding
Positions can be held over the weekend under the published rules, so swing and position strategies are not forced to close on Friday.
Read the documentationEA support
Run Expert Advisors and automated strategies with the Automation add-on, registered on your account under the documented rules. Automation is a supported way to trade, not something to hide.
Read the documentationMultiple trading platforms
Trade on the platform you already know. Supported platforms and connection steps are listed with each setup guide.
Read the documentationTelegram Mini App
Follow your challenges, alerts and account status inside Telegram, without opening a laptop.
Read the documentationPWA
Install the trader hub on your phone or desktop from the browser. It opens like an app, with fast access and optional push alerts.
Read the documentationTransparent rule engine
Rules are evaluated by an engine that applies the same published logic to every account. What the documentation says is what gets enforced.
Read the documentationDetailed breach logs
If a warning or breach occurs, you see the rule, the time and the numbers involved — not just a status change and a support ticket to find out why.
Read the documentationAppeals
Where a decision looks wrong, there is a defined path to ask for a review with the evidence, instead of a closed door.
Read the documentationScaling
Consistent performance can lead to larger account sizes over time, so successful traders are able to grow rather than start again.
Read the documentationMultiple payout stages
Payouts follow a staged structure with clear eligibility and timing, so you know what to expect at each step before you request one.
