LIQUID 100

The fairest 2 Stage demo challenge in history. 8% , then 5% . No Broker tricks, Zero Spread. Zero slippage.

The 100 challenge is fully backed by the Liquid Markets network fund with a 12 year history of private funding for prop firms and exchange dealers.

Winners receive a Nitro risk managed STP broker account funded by non winning challenge fees covering any drawdowns plus network funds to provide the margin for the account. Once the account is funded we have no interest or control over the brokers STP, ECN or Liquidity Providers, therefore we have no conflict of interest or derive any benefit from failure. Therefore we prefer to set evaluation parameters that correlate well with transitioning to real market success. Simply we let the best traders win, and we have the lowest possible fees due to this arrangement. 

Therefore after the first 30 days of trading on the real account, traders are able to request payouts directly from the broker. There is  a fair consistency rule that prevents the target profit to be achieved in only 20% traded volume over the 10 minimum days. However, should you be lucky or good enough to hit the target with abnormally high lots size , we will allow you all the time in the world to achieve another 20% of the target in a manner that brings the other 80% traded volume back in line. This is part of the quantitative method used by our AI to detect liveness, copy trading or 3rd party control of the account. Simply put trade consistently with regards to lotsize and style. If we suspect you are someone else then we will extend your evaluation period accordingly.

We offer raw spreads, unlimited time as well as metals, indices and crypto. We invite you to exploit the market and become our fund manager.
