Short Answer
A Prime Account is the simulated account you trade once you have qualified. On most Programs you reach it by successfully completing an Evaluation; on the Instant it is issued immediately. In both cases you complete KYC verification, then review and sign your Trader Agreement before you begin trading. A Prime Account lets you continue trading in a simulated environment while becoming eligible to receive Rewards based on your simulated trading performance.
What Is a Prime Account?
A Prime Account is the stage where you trade toward Rewards rather than toward passing an assessment.
Unlike an Evaluation account, which exists to demonstrate your trading skills, a Prime Account lets you keep trading under your Program's rules while becoming eligible to receive Rewards.
How you get one depends on your Program. Pay After You Pass, the 1-Step and the 2-Step each require completing an Evaluation first. The Instant has no Evaluation and issues a Prime Account directly.
Each Program has its own Prime Account rules, including Trading Objectives, Reward schedules, and available Add-Ons.
How Do I Qualify?
On Programs that include an Evaluation, you must:
Successfully complete your Evaluation.
Meet all applicable Trading Objectives.
Complete KYC verification.
Submit your Prime Account request.
On the Instant, there is no Evaluation. You complete KYC verification and your Prime Account is issued directly.
Issuance timing varies by Program: within a few minutes on Pay After You Pass once the Activation Fee is paid, within up to 48 hours after your request is approved (excluding weekends) on the 1-Step and 2-Step, and as soon as onboarding is complete on the Instant. Before you can begin trading, you'll review and sign your Trader Agreement from your FundingRock Dashboard.
What Can I Do With a Prime Account?
Once your Prime Account is active, you can:
Continue trading under your Program's Trading Rules.
Submit Reward Requests once your account becomes eligible.
Increase your Reward Share with eligible Add-Ons.
Work toward qualifying for the FundingRock Scaling Plan, where applicable.
Important
Each Program has different Prime Account rules.
You must continue complying with all applicable Trading Rules.
Failing to comply with your Program's rules may result in your Prime Account being breached or terminated.
