Pass the challenge and 80% of the profits from the funded account are yours. Payouts are in USD, sent straight to your Kraken account. No cap on how much you can withdraw over time.

No daily loss limits

Most funded challenges end if you dip too far in a single day. Kraken Funded doesn't. There's one 5% overall floor, measured against your starting balance. Manage your risk your way.

FAQs

What is Kraken Funded?

Kraken Funded is a skill-based challenge. Pay a one-time challenge fee, pass the challenge, and unlock a funded account with up to $10,000 in it. Keep 80% of the profits, and withdraw whenever you want.

How much does it cost?

One fee per challenge: $20 for the $1K plan, $50 for $5K, or $90 for $10K. The fee is non-refundable. Beyond that, there are no commissions during the challenge or in the funded account, and no withdrawal fees.

What do I need to do to pass?

Grow the starting balance by 12%. On the $1K plan, that means reaching $1,120. There's no time limit and no minimum number of positions. The challenge ends the moment you hit the target.

What are the risks?

The only money you risk is the challenge fee. Your main Kraken balance stays untouched. This isn't borrowing. There's no loan, no interest, and your personal assets are never at risk. Your downside is capped at the fee, and there's no cap on how much you can withdraw over time. The fee is non-refundable.

What if I don't pass?

The challenge ends if the balance drops more than 5% from the starting balance. You lose nothing beyond the challenge fee since the challenge balance was never your own money. You can start a new challenge at any tier whenever you're ready.

How do I get paid?

Withdraw profits from the funded account any time. Sell any open positions back to USD first and make withdrawals in USD. 80% of the profits transfers to your main Kraken account; Kraken keeps 20%. Most withdrawals arrive within 24 hours. Profits you've already withdrawn are yours to keep, even if the funded account later closes.

What can I trade?

50+ major cryptocurrencies are available, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, and select stocks (availability varies by region). The interface is familiar if you already use the Kraken app. The list is more curated than your main account and you'll see exactly what's available inside the Kraken Funded tab.

Is this separate from my main account?

Completely. Nothing you do inside Kraken Funded affects your main balance. The challenge balance sits inside the Funded tab. The only things that touch your main account are the challenge fee and profit withdrawals. Kraken Funded is operated by Payward Oceanic Ltd. (BVI).

Important Disclosures
Important Disclosures about Breakout Trading Group LLC ("Breakout"), Payward Oceanic Ltd. ("POL") and the Funded-Trader Program. This product may be accessed through the Kraken user interface but it is not a regulated product and is offered by Breakout and POL.

Evaluation Program
Breakout's evaluation program is intentionally rigorous and designed to verify a trader's risk-management skill and strategy discipline before any proprietary capital is allocated. Most applicants do not pass on their first attempt and there is no guarantee that your performance will improve or that you will pass any future evaluations. Prospective traders should purchase an evaluation only if they are confident in their trading ability and accept the risk of not qualifying for a funded account. Evaluation fees are non-refundable for each attempt once trading begins, regardless of outcome.

Funded-Trader Terms
If you pass the evaluation phase and become a funded trader ("FT") with POL, all market-facing transactions, if any, are carried out exclusively by POL, for POL's own principal account and at its sole discretion. POL has discretion to determine which order type (A or B-book) it will apply. FTs do not own any trading account or position, and hold no beneficial or proprietary interest in POL's accounts, assets or trades. When an FT submits a trade idea, POL may, in its absolute discretion, either (i) record the idea as an internal, administrative book entry and calculate a hypothetical result without routing any order externally, or (ii) accept the idea for POL's proprietary book and route the transaction to a market maker or exchange. FTs have no control over, or visibility into, the method POL selects.

Conflicts of Interest
When a funded trader's balance hits the max-loss line, POL is released from any liability to pay future performance fees — so POL's financial interest is opposite to yours. POL may receive financial incentives from third parties based on trade ideas provided by FTs. Any such revenue is retained solely by POL and is not shared with FTs. Because such financial incentives are not included in PnL for FTs, conflicts of interest may exist between POL and each FT. FTs should carefully consider these conflicts before participating. In addition, because Breakout earns fees each time an evaluation trader fails and then re-purchases an evaluation, conflicts of interest may also exist between Breakout and each evaluation trader.

This is an unregulated service. This evaluation program is intentionally rigorous and designed to verify a trader's risk-management skill and strategy discipline before any proprietary capital is allocated by Payward Oceanic Ltd. Most applicants do not pass on their first attempt and there is no guarantee that your performance will improve or that you will pass any future evaluations. Prospective traders should purchase an evaluation only if they are confident in their trading ability and knowingly accept the risk of not qualifying for a funded account. Evaluation fees are non-refundable for each attempt once trading begins, regardless of outcome.
