What account sizes are available at Trinity Funding?
Trinity Funding offers a variety of account sizes to suit different trading styles and risk appetites. The available account sizes are:
- $10,000
- $25,000
- $50,000
- $100,000
- $200,000
- $300,000
Each account size comes with the same set of rules regarding profit targets and drawdowns, ensuring that traders have equal opportunities to prove their abilities, regardless of the account size they choose.
What is the minimum deposit to open an account?
At Trinity Funding, there is no minimum deposit required because traders are not asked to fund their own trading accounts. Instead, traders pay a monthly subscription fee to participate in the evaluation process. Once they pass the evaluation, they trade with Trinity’s capital and keep a percentage of the profits.
How much does the subscription cost?
The monthly subscription fee for all account sizes is $120. This fee covers the evaluation process, access to trading platforms like NinjaTrader, and any market data needed during the evaluation phase. The fee is consistent across all account sizes, so whether you choose a $10,000 or $300,000 account, you’ll pay the same flat rate.
Does Trinity Funding allow Expert Advisors (EAs)?
Yes, Trinity Funding allows the use of Expert Advisors (EAs). EAs are automated trading strategies or bots that can help traders execute trades based on pre-set conditions or algorithms. Traders are free to use EAs in both the evaluation and funded phases, as long as they adhere to the drawdown and risk management rules.
Is high-frequency trading allowed?
No, high-frequency trading is not permitted at Trinity Funding. High-frequency trading (HFT) typically involves executing a large number of trades in milliseconds or microseconds. This style of trading is not aligned with the firm’s risk management policies and can lead to potential issues in maintaining a stable and fair trading environment.
Does Trinity Funding allow news trading?
Yes, news trading is allowed at Trinity Funding. Traders are free to execute trades during news events, which may cause increased volatility in the market. However, traders should exercise caution, as high volatility can lead to rapid changes in price and potential drawdowns. Trinity Funding encourages traders to manage their risk carefully during these events.
Is copy trading available?
Yes, copy trading is available at Trinity Funding. Traders can use a trade copier to replicate their trades across up to 20 accounts. This feature is ideal for traders who manage multiple accounts or those who wish to scale their strategies across different account sizes. Copy trading is supported in both the evaluation and funded stages.
Is there an option to pause my subscription?
Currently, Trinity Funding does not offer a pause option for subscriptions. If you wish to take a break from trading, you will need to cancel your subscription and re-subscribe when you are ready to resume. Your account will remain inactive until you restart the process.
Can I get a refund for my subscription?
No, subscriptions are non-refundable once the service has been used. This means that if you have started the evaluation or used the platform in any way, the subscription fee cannot be refunded. However, if you have not yet begun trading, you may be eligible for a refund upon contacting support within a reasonable timeframe.
What are the documentation requirements for KYC (Know Your Customer)?
To comply with KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations, Trinity Funding requires all traders to provide valid identification and proof of address before they can access a funded account. Here are the basic documents required:
- Valid Government-Issued ID: This could be a passport or driver’s license.
- Proof of Address: This can include utility bills, bank statements, or any official document that shows your full name and address.
These documents ensure that we are operating in compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) laws and maintaining the integrity of our platform.
Can someone else trade my account on my behalf?
No, account sharing is not allowed at Trinity Funding. The account holder is the only person authorized to execute trades on their account. Sharing your account login details with anyone else is strictly prohibited and may result in the closure of your account. This policy ensures the integrity of the trading process and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Does Trinity Funding have a restricted countries policy?
Yes, Trinity Funding operates under a restricted countries policy. Due to legal and regulatory requirements, residents of certain countries may not be eligible to participate in the evaluation or trade funded accounts. The list of restricted countries is updated regularly, and you can find the most up-to-date information on the Trinity Funding website or by contacting customer support.
Evaluation Process
How many steps are involved in the evaluation process?
Trinity Funding offers two distinct evaluation programs tailored to suit different types of traders: a 1-Step evaluation and a 2-Step evaluation.
- 1-Step Evaluation: This is a more straightforward process where traders only need to reach a predefined profit target and maintain the required drawdown levels without having to go through multiple phases. Once you hit your target, you are eligible for funding.
- 2-Step Evaluation: In this process, traders must complete two phases:
- Step 1: You need to achieve the profit target while adhering to the drawdown and risk management rules.
- Step 2: This step focuses on consistency and ensuring that you can manage risk over a longer period. After completing both steps successfully, you move on to a funded account.
The flexibility of choosing between these two options gives traders control over how they want to prove their skills, depending on their trading style and risk tolerance.
What are the profit targets for the evaluation accounts?
For both the 1-Step and 2-Step evaluation processes, the profit target is set at 10% of your initial account balance. This means that if you start with a $50,000 account, your target would be to generate $5,000 in profits before moving to the next step or being eligible for funding.
This profit target ensures that traders can demonstrate their ability to generate consistent returns while managing risk appropriately.
How many trading days are required to pass the evaluation?
To pass the evaluation, you need to complete a minimum of 3 trading days. This applies to both the 1-Step and 2-Step evaluation processes.
- Why do we have this rule?
The purpose of this rule is to ensure that traders don’t rely on luck or random success. Consistency is key, so you must actively trade over a minimum of three days, showing your ability to perform consistently in various market conditions.
What counts as a trading day?
A trading day is defined as any day where you execute at least one trade. It’s not necessary to trade every single day, but you need to complete three trading days to qualify for a funded account.
What is the trailing drawdown during the evaluation phase?
The trailing drawdown is set at 6% of your highest account balance during the evaluation phase. This is a dynamic risk management tool that follows your account as it grows.
- How it works:
For example, if you start with a $50,000 account and grow it to $55,000, the trailing drawdown will trail by 6%, which means your account cannot fall below $51,700 ($55,000 – 6%). If your equity falls below this point, your evaluation account will be closed.
Why it’s important:
The trailing drawdown is designed to ensure that you’re not taking excessive risks even after making profits. It helps promote consistent, low-risk trading.
Is there a maximum daily drawdown during the evaluation?
No, there is no maximum daily drawdown during the evaluation. Instead, the focus is on the trailing drawdown of 6% as described above. However, while there’s no fixed daily drawdown, traders are encouraged to manage their risk on a daily basis to avoid hitting the overall trailing drawdown.
What happens if I fail the evaluation?
If you fail the evaluation—whether it’s because you hit the trailing drawdown or didn’t meet the profit target—you can restart the process by paying a reset fee.
- What does failing mean?
Failing occurs when your equity falls below the trailing drawdown limit or if you don’t achieve the required profit target while following the risk management rules.
How to reset:
To reset your evaluation, simply pay the subscription fee again, and you’ll be able to start fresh with a new account. You can reset as many times as needed.
Is there a time limit for completing the evaluation?
No, there is no time limit for completing the evaluation at Trinity Funding. This means that you can take as much time as you need to reach your profit target, as long as you remain active and adhere to the risk management rules.
- Why no time limit?
Trading is about patience and discipline. We want to give traders the flexibility to trade at their own pace without feeling pressured to rush the process.
Stay active:
Keep in mind that if your account remains inactive for an extended period (45 days), it may be closed. However, there’s no time pressure for passing the evaluation itself.
Can I use the same account if I fail and want to try again?
No, if you fail the evaluation, you will need to start a new account. Each evaluation is treated as an independent process, so if you hit the trailing drawdown or fail to meet the profit target, the account will be closed, and you’ll need to pay for a reset to start a new one.
Can I trade multiple account sizes during the evaluation?
No, traders can only choose one account size at the beginning of their evaluation. Once you’ve selected an account size, you must complete the evaluation on that account. If you wish to change to a different account size, you’ll need to start a new evaluation for that specific account size.
Can I repeat the evaluation after failing?
Yes, you can repeat the evaluation as many times as necessary. Simply reset your account by paying the subscription fee again, and you’ll start fresh with a new evaluation account. There’s no limit to the number of times you can attempt the evaluation.
Are there specific instruments I can trade during the evaluation?
Yes, during the evaluation, traders are restricted to futures contracts listed on major exchanges such as the CME, COMEX, NYMEX, and CBOT. This ensures that all trades are executed on liquid, regulated markets.
- Instruments not allowed:
Stocks, options, forex, cryptocurrencies, and CFDs are not permitted in the evaluation or funded accounts. This helps maintain uniformity in the trading instruments available to all traders.
Can I trade micro contracts during the evaluation?
Yes, micro contracts are allowed during the evaluation. Micros are smaller versions of standard futures contracts, and they allow traders to manage risk more effectively by taking on smaller positions. Many traders use micros to build confidence and stay within the drawdown limits while still achieving the profit target.
Funded Accounts
What happens after I pass the evaluation and become a funded trader?
After you successfully pass the evaluation, you transition to a funded account, meaning you will now be trading with Trinity Funding’s capital. Here’s what happens next:
- Account Balance: You will receive the same starting balance that you chose during the evaluation. If you evaluated a $50,000 account, you will now be managing a $50,000 funded account.
- Profit Split: You will now keep 95% of the profits you generate while trading, with Trinity Funding retaining 5%.
- Trading Conditions: The trading conditions (rules, instruments, platforms) remain the same as in the evaluation phase, so you can continue using NinjaTrader, Expert Advisors, and news trading as before.
Risk Management: The funded account has drawdown limits (trailing and daily) and other rules that you must continue to follow to maintain your funded status.
What is the profit split for funded traders?
The profit split for all funded traders at Trinity Funding is 95% to the trader and 5% to the firm. This means that you keep 95% of the profits you make. Here’s an example:
- If you make a profit of $10,000 in your funded account, you keep $9,500, and Trinity Funding retains $500.
This competitive profit-sharing structure allows you to maximize your earnings while trading with the firm’s capital.
Is there a trailing drawdown for funded accounts?
Yes, funded accounts have a 6% trailing drawdown. This is how it works:
- Trailing from Peak Balance: The drawdown tracks your highest account balance (your peak) and moves up as your account grows. It ensures that your equity doesn’t fall more than 6% from its highest point.
- Example: If your peak account balance reaches $50,000, your trailing drawdown would be at $47,000 (6% below $50,000). If your equity drops below $47,000, your account will be disabled.
Dynamic Drawdown: The trailing drawdown adjusts as your profits grow but does not move down if you incur losses.
What is the daily drawdown limit for funded traders?
Funded traders have a 3% daily drawdown limit. This means your account equity cannot drop more than 3% in a single trading day. If this limit is breached, your account will be disabled.
Example: If your account balance is $100,000, your maximum daily drawdown would be $3,000. If your equity drops by more than $3,000 in a single day, you will breach the daily drawdown rule.
What are the minimum trading days required before I can withdraw profits?
Before you can withdraw profits from your funded account, you must have completed at least 3 trading days. This is to ensure that you have actively traded and generated profits in the market before requesting a withdrawal.
How long do I need to maintain an active account before I can withdraw profits?
You need to maintain at least 14 active days before you can request a withdrawal. Active days are those when trades are placed, meaning your account should have consistent engagement over time. This helps ensure that traders are genuinely active in the market before making a withdrawal.
Is there a profit cap for withdrawals?
Yes, there is a profit cap of 10% on withdrawals. This means you can withdraw up to 10% of your total profits at a time. The profit cap helps maintain sufficient capital in the account for future trading and continued growth.
Example: If you’ve made $20,000 in profits, the maximum you can withdraw at one time would be $2,000 (10% of $20,000).
Does my funded account reset after a payout?
Yes, after a payout request is approved and processed, your account will reset. This means:
- Your account balance will be restored to its original starting balance (the balance you began with when funded).
- You will continue trading under your funded account status without needing to repeat the evaluation process.
- This reset ensures that your account remains within Trinity Funding’s risk management parameters after you withdraw profits.
What happens if my account remains inactive for an extended period?
If your funded account remains inactive for 45 days (i.e., no trades are placed), it will be closed. This inactivity rule ensures that funded traders stay engaged in the market. If your account is closed due to inactivity, you will need to restart the process from the evaluation phase if you wish to trade again.
Can I hold trades over the weekend?
No, weekend holds are not allowed in funded accounts. All open positions must be closed by the end of the trading week (typically Friday afternoon) before the markets close for the weekend. This rule is in place to avoid the volatility and gaps that can occur when markets reopen after the weekend.
What happens if I breach the account rules in a funded account?
If you breach any of the account rules (such as exceeding the trailing drawdown or daily drawdown), your account will be disabled. Depending on the severity of the breach:
- Minor Breaches: You may have the option to reset the account by paying a fee and continue trading.
- Major Breaches: In some cases, your funded account may be permanently closed, and you will need to restart from the evaluation phase.
To avoid breaches, ensure you follow the drawdown limits, trading rules, and other conditions carefully.
How is the maximum end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown calculated in a funded account?
The maximum end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown is calculated as 6% from your highest achieved balance. This calculation takes place at the end of each trading day to ensure the trailing drawdown accurately reflects your trading performance.
- Example: If your account balance reached a peak of $100,000, your trailing drawdown would be set at $94,000. As your profits grow, this threshold will adjust at the end of each day.
Important Note: The trailing drawdown does not move down if you incur losses—it only moves up as your account reaches new highs.
Can I trade micro contracts in my funded account?
Yes, you can trade micro contracts in your funded account. Micro contracts are smaller-sized futures contracts that allow traders to manage risk with smaller position sizes. Trinity Funding fully supports the trading of micro contracts on its platform, giving traders more flexibility in their trading strategies.
Trading Rules and Permissions
Are there any limitations on the number of trades I can execute daily?
No, there are no restrictions on the number of trades you can execute in a single day at Trinity Funding. Whether you prefer to place several smaller trades or fewer larger ones, the choice is entirely yours. You are free to execute as many trades as your strategy requires, as long as you follow the account’s risk management rules, such as trailing drawdown and daily drawdown limits.
Can I stack trades (open multiple trades of the same symbol)?
Yes, stacking trades—opening multiple trades on the same instrument (for example, buying multiple positions of EUR/USD)—is allowed at Trinity Funding. There are no specific restrictions on how many positions you can open in the same symbol or at the same time. However, be mindful of your account’s drawdown rules and overall risk management when stacking trades to avoid breaching any limits.
Can I trade over the weekend?
No, weekend trading is not allowed at Trinity Funding. All trades must be closed before the market closes for the weekend (typically Friday afternoon, depending on your instrument and time zone). This rule is in place to avoid the risks associated with the market volatility and price gaps that can occur when markets reopen after the weekend.
Action: Ensure you close all open positions before the weekend to remain compliant with Trinity Funding’s trading rules.
Are there any restrictions on trade volume?
No, there are no restrictions on the volume of trades you can place. However, you should always keep an eye on your account’s risk management parameters, such as drawdown limits and the maximum number of contracts allowed. Managing your trade volume effectively will help ensure you don’t breach any rules while maximizing your trading opportunities.
Do I need to set a stop loss for each trade?
No, Trinity Funding does not require you to set a stop loss for every trade. However, it is strongly recommended to use stop losses to manage risk and protect your account from significant losses. Implementing proper risk management practices, like using a stop loss, can help prevent hitting drawdown limits and keep your account in good standing.
What happens if I hit the daily drawdown limit?
If you hit the 3% daily drawdown limit, your account will be disabled for the rest of the trading day. Here’s how it works:
- Daily Drawdown Definition: The daily drawdown is the maximum loss your account can incur in a single trading day. Once this limit is reached, your account is disabled to prevent further losses.
- Example: If your account has a balance of $100,000, your maximum daily drawdown would be $3,000. If your equity falls below $97,000 during the day, your account will be disabled.
To continue trading, you would need to either wait until the next trading day or reset your account if needed.
How is the trailing drawdown calculated?
The trailing drawdown is calculated as 6% from your highest achieved balance. It moves up as your account grows but never moves down when your account incurs losses. Here’s how it works:
- Trailing from Peak Balance: The trailing drawdown follows your account’s highest equity point (or peak balance) and stays 6% below that point.
- Example: If your account reaches a peak balance of $100,000, your trailing drawdown would be set at $94,000 (6% below). If your equity drops below $94,000, your account will be closed.
The trailing drawdown only moves upwards as your account balance increases, ensuring that your trading progress is protected.
Can I adjust the risk parameters on my account?
No, you cannot adjust the risk parameters such as trailing drawdown, daily drawdown, or maximum contract size. These parameters are pre-set to ensure consistent risk management across all traders. By keeping these rules fixed, Trinity Funding can maintain a fair and secure trading environment for everyone.
Tip: Understanding and working within the risk parameters provided will help you maximize your performance while ensuring your account remains compliant.
Are there consistency rules for evaluations and funded accounts?
No, Trinity Funding does not have specific consistency rules regarding lot size or trade duration. While there are no strict consistency requirements, traders are encouraged to follow responsible and strategic trading practices during both the evaluation and funded phases. Maintaining a thoughtful and steady approach to trading can help ensure long-term success, but there are no penalties for varying trade sizes or durations within the rules of the account.
What is the maximum number of contracts I can trade?
The maximum number of contracts you can trade depends on your account size and risk management settings. While Trinity Funding doesn’t impose a hard limit on contract size for all traders, the overall risk to your account must stay within the drawdown limits. Larger positions will obviously increase risk, so always monitor your trailing drawdown and daily drawdown to avoid breaching your account’s risk parameters.
Example: If you’re trading on a $100,000 account, managing your contract size effectively is crucial to ensure you stay within your drawdown limits.
Is microscalping allowed?
Microscalping, or making quick, small trades to capture very short-term market movements, is not explicitly prohibited, but it must be done within the context of Trinity Funding’s risk management guidelines. Here are some important considerations:
- Trade Duration: Although microscalping is allowed, you must still adhere to any trade duration requirements (for example, holding trades for a minimum number of seconds).
While micro scalping can be an effective strategy, to avoid potential issues, ensure it aligns with the broader risk management framework.
Withdrawals
When can I withdraw my profits?
You can withdraw your profits once you meet the following requirements:
- Trading Days: You must complete a minimum of 3 trading days.
- Active Days: You need to have at least 14 active days. An “active day” is any day where you place at least one trade.
These requirements ensure that traders have participated actively in the markets before requesting a withdrawal, promoting responsible and consistent trading behavior.
Is there a minimum amount for withdrawals?
Yes, the minimum withdrawal amount is set at $10. This allows traders flexibility in withdrawing even small profits, which can be useful for testing payout methods or gradually building capital without having to accumulate large balances before accessing funds.
What is the maximum amount I can withdraw at once?
The maximum withdrawal amount is limited to 10% of your total profit. This cap helps maintain stability in your account by ensuring that a portion of your profits remains available for continued trading. It also encourages a disciplined approach to capital management, as traders are not able to withdraw all profits in a single transaction, which helps prevent account depletion.
How often can I request withdrawals?
You are eligible to request withdrawals on a bi-weekly (every two weeks) basis. This regular interval provides traders with frequent access to their earnings while also allowing sufficient time between withdrawal requests for consistent trading activity. By spacing out withdrawals, traders have the opportunity to build more substantial profits between requests.
What are the available payout methods?
Trinity Funding offers a range of payout methods to cater to your preferences:
- Bank Transfer: Withdrawals are directly transferred to your bank account. This method may take a few days, but it’s a reliable option for traders who prefer traditional banking.
- Pay to Card: Funds can be transferred to your debit or credit card. This option is quick and convenient, especially for those who prefer using their card for transactions.
- Cryptocurrency: If you prefer digital currencies, you can choose to withdraw your profits in popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. This method is typically faster than traditional banking but may involve varying transaction fees depending on the blockchain network.
The method you choose can be easily updated on your dashboard, giving you flexibility over how you receive your profits.
How soon after becoming funded can I withdraw profits?
Once you pass the evaluation and become a funded trader, you must meet two key requirements before you can request your first withdrawal:
- Complete at least 14 active days.
- Execute trades on a minimum of 3 trading days.
These criteria ensure that traders are consistently engaging with the markets before making their first withdrawal, which aligns with Trinity Funding’s goal of fostering disciplined and sustainable trading habits.
What is the payout frequency for funded accounts?
The payout frequency is bi-weekly, meaning you can request a withdrawal once every two weeks. This system is designed to give traders regular access to their earnings without causing disruption to their trading account’s capital. The bi-weekly structure allows traders to accumulate more significant profits between payout requests.
Can I change my payout method?
Yes, you have the flexibility to change your payout method through your dashboard at any time before requesting a withdrawal. Whether you want to switch from bank transfer to cryptocurrency, or change to Pay to Card, you can update your preferences easily. Keep in mind that the method you choose may affect processing times and fees, so it’s essential to select the option that best suits your needs.
Is there a fee for withdrawing profits?
There may be processing fees associated with withdrawals, depending on the payout method you choose. For example:
- Bank transfers may incur small processing fees depending on your bank and location.
- Cryptocurrency withdrawals often involve network transaction fees, which can vary based on blockchain activity.
Trinity Funding is transparent about any applicable fees, and you will be informed of them before confirming your withdrawal request. This ensures that you know exactly what to expect, with no hidden charges.
What happens after I request a payout?
Once you submit a payout request, the following process takes place:
- Account Review: Trinity Funding will review your account to ensure all conditions for withdrawal are met, such as having enough trading days, meeting the active day requirements, and confirming the available profit.
- Processing: After your account is reviewed, your payout will be processed according to your selected method (Bank Transfer, Pay to Card, or Cryptocurrency).
- Account Reset: In some cases, if you’re withdrawing a significant portion of your profits, your account may reset. This reset allows you to continue trading, but with a refreshed balance or parameters, depending on the account type.
If your account is reset after payout, rest assured that your funded status remains intact, and you can continue trading with updated account conditions.
How long does it take to receive my payout?
The time it takes to receive your payout depends on the method chosen:
- Bank Transfer: Typically takes 3-5 business days depending on your bank and country of residence.
- Pay to Card: Funds are generally available within 2-3 business days.
- Cryptocurrency: This method is usually faster, with processing times ranging from 1-2 business days, though network congestion on the blockchain may affect this slightly.
Trinity Funding works to process payout requests as quickly as possible, ensuring you receive your profits in a timely manner.
Copy Trading
What is copy trading?
Copy trading allows traders to automatically replicate trades from one account to another. It’s particularly useful for traders who manage multiple accounts or want to mirror successful strategies without manually executing trades across each account. With copy trading, when a trade is placed in one “master” account, it will automatically be executed in other “linked” or “slave” accounts, ensuring consistency and reducing the need for manual intervention.
Is copy trading allowed at Trinity Funding?
Yes, copy trading is fully allowed at Trinity Funding. Whether you are using it to manage multiple evaluation accounts or funded accounts, this feature helps you replicate your trading strategies across multiple accounts, reducing the need for manual intervention and ensuring consistency in your trading operations.
Can I copy my own trades?
Yes, Trinity Funding allows you to copy your own trades across up to 20 accounts. This feature is ideal for traders who are managing multiple accounts and want to replicate their strategies without the need to manually execute trades on each individual account.
Does copy trading work with Expert Advisors (EAs)?
Yes, copy trading is compatible with Expert Advisors (EAs) at Trinity Funding. You can set up your EA to execute trades automatically, and the same trades will be copied to all linked accounts. This is particularly beneficial for traders who rely on algorithmic trading strategies and want to automate their process across multiple accounts seamlessly.
What is the Trinity Trade Copier, and how does it work?
The Trinity Trade Copier is a tool designed to allow traders to replicate their trades across multiple accounts within the NinjaTrader platform. It is an easy-to-use solution that can mirror trades from a “master” account to up to 20 “slave” accounts, helping traders manage multiple portfolios efficiently. Here’s how it works:
- Master Account Setup: Your primary trading account serves as the master account, where you execute all your trades.
- Linked Accounts: You can link up to 20 accounts to the master account, ensuring that all trades executed in the master account are replicated across the linked accounts in real-time.
- Customizable Settings: You can configure trade sizes, risk parameters, and other settings to customize how trades are mirrored across accounts. This ensures you have full control over how your strategy is applied to each account.
- NinjaTrader Integration: The trade copier is fully integrated with the NinjaTrader platform, ensuring a seamless trading experience.
Can I use the trade copier for both evaluation and funded accounts?
Yes, the Trinity Trade Copier can be used for both evaluation and funded accounts. Whether you’re working through the evaluation phase or have passed and become a funded trader, you can take advantage of the trade copier to mirror your trades across multiple accounts. This feature ensures consistency in your trading performance across different stages of your trading journey.
Are there any additional fees for using the trade copier?
No, there are no additional fees for using the Trinity Trade Copier. It is included in your monthly subscription, meaning you can manage multiple accounts with the copier without incurring extra costs.
How do I set up the trade copier in NinjaTrader?
Setting up the Trinity Trade Copier within NinjaTrader involves several steps. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you get started:
- Find a Trade Copier Add-On: NinjaTrader supports third-party add-ons, including trade copiers. You can find popular third-party trade copier plugins such as “Copier for NinjaTrader” by searching online or visiting NinjaTrader’s ecosystem for add-ons.
- Download and Install the Copier: After purchasing or downloading the trade copier, follow the specific installation instructions provided by the developer. This typically involves downloading a file or script and installing it into the NinjaTrader platform.
- Configure Master and Slave Accounts:
- Set up your Master Account (the account where trades will be initiated). This will be the account where you manually or automatically execute your trades.
- Define the Slave Accounts (the accounts that will mirror the trades from the master account). In the copier’s configuration, you will need to link these accounts to ensure they replicate the trades from the master account.
- Adjust Settings: Most trade copiers allow you to adjust parameters such as:
- Trade Size: Modify the size of trades being copied to ensure they match your risk tolerance or account balance.
- Risk Management: Set risk parameters to ensure the copier follows your desired risk profile.
- Trade Filters: In some copiers, you can filter which trades get copied, allowing for even more customization.
- Test the Copier: Before going live, it’s always a good idea to run a test to ensure the copier is working properly and that the trades are being mirrored across all accounts as expected.

However, you can access NinjaTrader using remote desktop services to monitor your trades on mobile devices. We are exploring mobile solutions and may expand platform offerings in the future.
Fees and Payments
How much does it cost to participate in the evaluation process?
The cost to participate in Trinity Funding’s evaluation process is $120 per month, regardless of the account size you choose. This subscription fee provides you with access to the evaluation phase, trading platform, and real-time market data. The fee is automatically charged monthly until you either complete the evaluation or cancel your subscription.
Is there a fee for resetting the evaluation account?
Yes, if you fail the evaluation or hit the trailing drawdown limit, you can reset your account by paying the monthly subscription fee again. The reset fee is $120, and once paid, you can restart the evaluation from the beginning with a fresh account. There are no additional or hidden charges for resetting, and you can reset your evaluation account as many times as needed.
Are there any hidden fees?
No, Trinity Funding operates with complete transparency. The only recurring fee you will pay during the evaluation process is the $120 monthly subscription. There are no hidden charges, activation fees, or other costs involved. If there are any applicable fees (such as data fees or withdrawal fees), they will always be communicated clearly before the transaction is processed.
What happens if I don’t pay my subscription on time?
If you fail to pay your subscription on time, your account will be suspended, and you will lose access to the evaluation or funded account. You will not be able to continue trading until the payment is made. While your account is suspended, it will not count towards any trading days or activity requirements. Please note that any data or trading progress up to that point will be saved, so you can resume your trading journey once the payment is processed.
Is there a fee for withdrawing profits?
While Trinity Funding does not charge any fees for processing withdrawals, depending on the payout method you select (e.g., bank transfers, cryptocurrency), there may be third-party processing fees. These fees will be clearly communicated to you before your withdrawal is finalized. Make sure to choose a payout method that suits your needs and understand any associated costs from the external providers.
Can I get a refund for my subscription?
Trinity Funding operates under a no-refund policy once the subscription has been used. This means that once you start your evaluation or funded account, the subscription fee is non-refundable. If you have not used the service at all (i.e., you haven’t accessed the platform or started the evaluation), you may contact support to discuss your options. However, as a general rule, refunds are not available for subscriptions once any trading activity has taken place.
Are there activation fees for new accounts?
No, there are no additional activation fees when you create a new account with Trinity Funding. The only cost associated with starting your trading journey is the monthly subscription fee of $120, which gives you full access to the evaluation or funded program.
Risk Management
What is the trailing drawdown?
The trailing drawdown is a dynamic drawdown limit that follows the highest balance your account reaches and is set at 6% of your peak balance. As your account balance grows, the trailing drawdown will also adjust upward, ensuring that your trading is not only profitable but also sustainable.
For example, if your account balance hits $20,000, your trailing drawdown will be set at $18,800 (6% of $20,000). If your account balance then increases to $25,000, your trailing drawdown will adjust to $23,500 (6% of $25,000). However, if your balance decreases, the trailing drawdown remains fixed and does not move lower.
What happens if I hit the trailing drawdown limit?
If your account reaches the trailing drawdown limit, your account will be automatically closed. This applies during both the evaluation phase and in funded accounts. If this occurs during the evaluation, you will need to restart the evaluation by paying the monthly subscription fee again. If you are funded, you may need to go through the evaluation process again to regain your funded status. It’s essential to monitor your trailing drawdown closely and use appropriate risk management strategies to avoid hitting the limit.
Are there any penalties for holding trades over the weekend?
Yes, weekend trading is not permitted. All positions must be closed before the end of the trading week. Failing to do so can result in account closure or the application of penalties. This rule helps to protect your capital from unpredictable market movements that often occur over the weekend when the markets are closed. It’s crucial to stay informed of market hours and plan your trades accordingly to avoid any breaches of this rule.
What happens if I go inactive for too long in my funded account?
If your funded account remains inactive for 45 days or more, the account will be closed due to inactivity. This rule ensures that funded traders are actively participating in the markets. If your account is closed due to inactivity, you may need to go through the evaluation process again to regain access to a funded account. To avoid this, make sure to engage in active trading regularly or notify support if you anticipate a prolonged absence from trading.
Can I adjust the risk parameters on my account?
No, traders cannot adjust the risk parameters on their accounts. The risk management rules, such as the 6% trailing drawdown and daily drawdown limits, are preset to ensure fairness and to maintain a disciplined trading environment. These parameters are enforced consistently for all traders, and any attempt to alter them would be considered a violation of the trading rules.
How do I avoid breaching the daily or trailing drawdown?
To avoid breaching the daily or trailing drawdown, it’s important to implement sound risk management strategies in your trading plan. Here are some helpful tips:
- Monitor Your Equity: Regularly track your account balance and equity to ensure you are within the drawdown limits.
- Set Stop-Loss Orders: Use stop-loss orders to manage risk and protect your account from significant losses.
- Avoid Over-Leveraging: Ensure that you are not trading more contracts or volume than your account can handle.
- Plan Your Trades: Enter trades with a clear strategy and exit plan to avoid emotional decisions that could breach your risk limits.
By following these practices, you can significantly reduce the risk of hitting the drawdown limits and ensure sustainable trading performance.
How is the 6% trailing drawdown enforced?
The 6% trailing drawdown is enforced by tracking your account’s highest achieved balance. Each time your account balance reaches a new peak, the trailing drawdown is recalculated to be 6% below that high point. The trailing drawdown does not decrease if your account balance falls; it only adjusts upward when new highs are reached.
For example, if your highest account balance is $50,000, the trailing drawdown will be set at $47,000 (6% below the peak). If your balance falls below $47,000 at any point, the account will be closed, and you will need to restart the evaluation or requalify for funded status.
What happens if I hit the maximum end-of-day drawdown limit?
If you hit the maximum end-of-day (EOD) drawdown limit, your account will be closed. The EOD drawdown is a safeguard that ensures traders do not incur excessive losses by the end of the trading day. It’s important to be aware of this limit and manage your trades accordingly throughout the day. Reaching this limit during the evaluation phase will result in the need to restart the evaluation, while breaching it in a funded account may require requalification.

How much can I earn as a Trinity affiliate?
As a Trinity Funding affiliate, you earn 25% recurring lifetime commissions on all referred sales, including reset fees. There is no cap on how much you can earn—affiliates are making six figures monthly through the program. The more clients you refer, the more income you generate.
How often will I get paid?
We offer twice-monthly payouts to all our affiliates, ensuring that you receive your earnings promptly. Whether you’re just starting or have an established client base, you’ll be paid regularly on a bi-weekly basis for all qualifying commissions.
What is first link attribution?
Trinity Funding uses a first link attribution model for our affiliate program. This means that if a user clicks on your affiliate link and later returns to complete a purchase through another source, you will still receive 100% of the credit for that sale.
This is an important advantage as many affiliate programs use a last link attribution model, which can result in the last referrer receiving the credit. Our approach rewards the affiliate who first directed the user to our platform, helping to ensure you don’t lose commissions unfairly.

We encourage all users to fully review our terms before subscribing to avoid misunderstandings.
Do I have to sign a contract before getting funded?

It is important to read this contract thoroughly before signing to ensure you understand the responsibilities that come with managing a funded account at Trinity Funding.

This reset mechanism allows traders to start fresh while still adhering to risk management practices.
