What is our Buyback feature?
Our Buyback feature lets you get back on a funded account in minutes without taking any more challenges. Simply open a support request and let us know if you breached the daily maximum or drawdown.
You’ll get to pay 60% of the drawdown limit your specific account has endured (for example, 60% of 5% daily).
Unlimited Time
Our challenges have no time restrictions; you can pass in as little time as much time as you need!
Scaling
You can scale your account up to $1,000,000 in capital.
In order to scale, the trader must profit 10% over the course of 4 months(2.5% per month). The trader is also required to process at least 1 payout per month. Afterwards the trader’s account will be rewarded with a 25% increase.

What withdrawal options do you have?
You can withdraw funds via crypto or Direct bank transfer. Crypto is the most popular option because it’s quicker and cheaper. We can also do direct bank transfer dependant on your country of residence.
Do you have a withdrawal cap?
Overflow
To ensure a prompt and efficient payout service to all our traders, we implement an overflow feature which works as follows:
You are entitled to a maximum withdrawal of $10,000 per withdrawal cycle(per trader). If you profit more than $10,000, you will be given the maximum and you can happily continue trading. The excess profits you gained will be added to your account for the next trading cycle, and your drawdown will move forward to match the initial percentage loss.
Example: If you have a $100,000 (2step, standard) account and you profit 11%. You will be eligible to withdraw $10,000. The Extra $1,000 will be added to your account to make your new balance $101,000. Your new max drawdown will be $92,980. You will be eligible to withdraw the remaining $1,000 on the next withdrawal cycle given that the balance does not go beneath $101,000.
Profit Exceeding $5,000
If your profit exceeds $5,000, your best trading day or singular trade (a singular trade can be made up of multiple trades entered at the same time) may not exceed 50% of your profit in the funded stage payout cycle. If you do exceed the 50%, the profits made will be contracted to the 50% mark – or you can keep trading to make the trade/trading day not total 50% of total profits.
Example: Lets say you have a $100,000 account, in day 1 you make $5,000, day 2 you make $3,000. Your total balance is now $108,000. Your total withdraw before split will be $7,000. You also have the choice to continue trading to ensure none of your trading days are more than 50% of your total profits.
Max Lifetime Withdrawals?
After having profits of $100,000 (over the course of all challenges), you have successfully graduated from the Maven program, every time you scale an account, the max withdraw scales along with it.
What’s next after I pass?
Once you’ve passed the assessment, our team will review your account, which takes 1-3 days. Upon approval, you’ll receive a KYC (Know Your Customer) email through our provider, Veriff, to verify your identity.
For this process you will have to send a government issued ID and also take a selfie so we know who we do business with and comply with AML regulations.
What are the profit targets?
Two Step Challenge
Standard
Phase 1: 8%
Phase 2: 5%
Pro
Phase 1: 8%
Phase 2: 5%
One Step Challenge
Overall profit target: 8%
What are the drawdown types?
Static: The drawdown doesn’t change
Equity Based: The drawdown resets based on the equity at 00:00 UTC
Example: You have $1000 account, you open a trade and leave it running over night. You’re equity at 00:00 UTC is $1100, but your balance is $1000. Your max daily drawdown will be 4% of $1100 ($44), your account will breach the daily drawdown if you go beneath $1,056 in that day.
Balance Based: The drawdown resets based off the Balance on the daily roll over
Example: You have $1000 account, you open a trade and leave it running over night. You’re equity is $1,100, but your balance is $1,000. Your max daily drawdown will be 4% of $1,000 ($40).
Trailing: The drawdown moves automatically with the highest equity point in your account
If you start with $1,000 in equity and your trailing max drawdown is 3%, your starting trailing max drawdown is $30. If you gain $100 in equity your new highest equity point is $1,100 and your new trailing max drawdown is 3% of $1,100 which is $33. So if your account goes below $1,067 that would be a breach.
What does Maven classify as cheating?
Cheating: Using The Demo Trader inefficiencies such as High-Frequency Trading, Toxic Trading Order Flow, Long/Short arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, tick scalping, and server execution.
Reverse/Group Hedging: Using your account to bet in one direction on a singular trade against another account, as this is an attempt at reversing the trade of another account for a 100% chance of winning.
Hedging: You cannot exclusively hedge through a challenge or live account. Numerous malicious EA hedging bots aim to exploit the demo-trading environment, and we cannot accurately copy your trading onto a live server. If we see your account is exclusively hedging, we will ask you to provide the EA you have used (if applicable).
EA: EAs are permitted if they do not break the above rules. We may ask for proof of your EA to ensure that the EA you are using is not malicious. HFT, hedge zone, etc., are not permitted.
Note: A ‘trade’ can be determined as a position held by the trader on a specific pair. ‘Trade’ may be one or multiple entries with similar timings and lot sizes. A trade could be determined by multiple entries on the same pair at the same time. Trades with vastly smaller lot sizes will NOT count as a trade. If your account is flagged, you must rerun the challenge.
Your account will be terminated if you perform any of these actions.
What are your trading style rules?
We have ONE trading style rule:
Gambling: You cannot gamble your way through a challenge phase, Maven defines gambling as:
- Taking more than 50% of your trades in under a one-minute hold time
- Opening five positions at once in a loosing trade, on the same pair
- Betting one direction and holding until you pass/fail

Why should I become a Maven Funded Trader?
Becoming a trading virtuoso is a relentless challenge—countless hours perfecting skills, dissecting markets, and nailing risk management—all for a handful of profitable trades. It’s time to level up with a funded account. The stumbling block? Undercapitalization—small-time trading accounts that hold you back.
A 10% monthly yield of $1000 turns a mere $100 profit.
Trading with Maven gives you access to higher funds (and profits). Instead of a $1000 investment, imagine $200,000. Now you’ve got a $20,000 profit with $16,000 in your pocket.
But it’s not just about trading with our cash. Maven sharpens your skills with no-nonsense rules—think robust risk management minus the handcuffs on your trading decisions. You trade, and we cover the losses.
