Funded Account
A funded account is a live trading account provided by a prop firm after a trader passes its evaluation, letting the trader trade the firm's capital while keeping a share of profits. Funded accounts come with strict rules, including daily loss limits, maximum drawdown and consistency requirements, and violations can end the account. Tracking those rules is a core journaling job for funded traders. Traders Vault keeps funded accounts separate with their own starting balance and limits visible, and auto-syncs trades from MT4, MT5 and cTrader where the firm supports them.
