How to Start Crypto Prop Trading with TidalFi

1.

Choose your challenge

Before you start, choose the evaluation model that fits your trading style

Choose Two-Step if:

  • You prefer gradual progression with two milestones
  • 5% then 10% targets feel more achievable

Choose One-Step if:

  • You want faster access to funded status
  • You're confident hitting 10% in one evaluation
2.

Pass the challenge

Show us your skills. Trade with simulated capital and hit the profit targets while respecting the risk rules.

Two-Step Process:

  • Phase 1: Hit 5% profit target. Max daily drawdown 4%. Max total drawdown 6%.
  • Phase 2: Hit 10% profit target. Same risk rules.

One-Step Process:

  • Single Phase: Hit 10% profit target. Max daily drawdown 3%. Max static drawdown 6%.

There is no time limit to pass. Take your time. The only rule is the 30-day inactivity limit.

3.

KYC verification

Once you pass the evaluation, we need to know who you are. This ensures the security of the platform and compliance with global regulations.

  1. Complete KYC - Upload government ID, complete selfie verification. Usually approved within 12 hours

FAQ

How long does the challenge process take?

A: It depends on you. There is no minimum time limit. Once you get the profit target, you can pass the challenge immediately. The 30-day inactivity rule still applies if you do not close any positions.

Can I retry if I fail the challenge process?

A: Yes, you can purchase a new challenge immediately. Since we use a one-time challenge model, there are no recurring penalties, just a fresh start.

When do I need to complete KYC in the process?

A: KYC is only required after you pass the challenge and become a funded trader. You can start the challenge without it.
