Introduction
Welcome to Whales Funded. These Terms govern your access to our evaluation challenges, funded account programme, and all associated services operated by Whales Funded Innovations DMCC.
By creating an account, purchasing a challenge, or accessing any part of the platform, you confirm you have read and agree to be bound by these Terms alongside our Privacy Policy.
Eligibility
To use Whales Funded you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction
- Have full legal capacity to enter a binding agreement
- Not be a resident of a jurisdiction where participation is prohibited by applicable law
- Not have been previously banned or suspended from Whales Funded or any affiliated service
Whales Funded is not available to residents of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, or Belarus. Compliance with local laws is your sole responsibility.
Account Registration
Provide accurate, current, and complete information at registration and keep it updated. You are solely responsible for all activity under your account.
One account per person. Creating multiple accounts, sharing access, or allowing third parties to trade on your behalf is prohibited and results in immediate termination without refund.
Whales Funded may require identity verification (KYC) at any point. Failure to comply within the specified window may result in suspension.
Challenge Rules
All challenges are simulated trading evaluations with the following binding parameters:
- Profit Target — reach the stated target to advance or receive a funded account
- Maximum Daily Loss — account equity may not drop more than the stated limit in a single day
- Maximum Total Drawdown — account equity may not fall below the overall threshold at any point
- Minimum Trading Days — must complete the required minimum before phase completion is eligible
- Consistency Rule — no single day's profit may exceed 40% of total profits across all trading days
- Maximum Trade Duration — any position left open for 10 days is closed automatically at the current market price. This applies to every account type
Challenge fees are non-refundable. A free reset may be available — check your dashboard for eligibility.
Funded Accounts
Successfully completing all evaluation phases unlocks a simulated funded account. No real capital is deployed. All performance metrics are tracked and rewards calculated against simulated results.
Funded accounts remain subject to the same risk parameters. Any drawdown breach closes the account immediately — a new challenge must be purchased to re-enter.
Profit Splits & Payouts
Whales Funded offers profit splits of up to 95%. Payout requests may be submitted after a minimum of 14 calendar days on a funded account.
- Payouts processed within 1–5 business days of approval
- Supported methods: bank wire and select cryptocurrencies
- Minimum payout: $100 USD equivalent
- Instant Funded accounts may carry a minimum consistency score (100 minus the best day's share of profit since the last payout). Payout requests below that score are declined
- Additional verification may be requested before processing
Prohibited Activities
- Automated bots, copy-trading, or latency/pricing-exploit strategies
- Account management for or by any third party
- Reverse engineering, scraping, or infrastructure interference
- Coordinated cross-account hedging to guarantee profit
- Strategies designed solely to pass evaluations without genuine trading skill
- False information during registration or KYC
Violation results in immediate termination and forfeiture of all balances and pending payouts.
