IQ Capital questions
What is IQ Capital?
IQ Capital is a prop firm for futures, crypto and CFD traders. Futures traders pick a Core or Rapid evaluation, or an Instant Funding account with no evaluation. Accounts are simulated and come in $50,000 and $100,000 sizes.
Is IQ Capital legit?
Yes. IQ Capital has run a crypto prop firm since 2025 and added futures in 2026. It is operated by Beyond IQ Capital LTD, a company registered in Saint Lucia. Payments go through Payora Group Limited, a registered company in Cyprus. Its CEO is Christoph Radecker.
Does IQ Capital have a $1 challenge?
No. IQ Capital does not sell a $1 futures evaluation. New customers can get one futures promo evaluation for $9 using code SOPF. The limit is one futures promo account per person. Buying more than one breaks the rules and can get the account suspended. The $9 promo evaluation cannot be reset.
Is there an IQ Capital discount code or promo code?
Yes. Discount code SOPF works at the IQ Capital checkout. Enter it in the coupon box before you pay. It works on every futures evaluation and Instant Funding account. The code never expires and always gets you IQ Capital's best available deal.
Does IQ Capital offer instant funding?
Yes. IQ Capital Instant Funding gives you a simulated funded futures account with no evaluation. You start trading the funded account right after you buy it. It comes in $50,000 and $100,000 sizes.
What platforms does IQ Capital use?
IQ Capital futures traders can use Deepcharts, ATAS and Quantower on every account. Tradovate, TradingView and NinjaTrader are also available on Core Daily Loss, Rapid and Instant Funding Daily Loss accounts, but not on Core Position Loss accounts. Market data comes from dxFeed, or from CQG through Tradovate.
What are the IQ Capital payout rules?
IQ Capital traders become eligible for a payout after completing 10 active trading days on Core and Instant Funding accounts. A trading day counts when you place at least one trade. Your best day must be no more than 30% of your total profit. Each payout can take up to 50% of your profit, and you keep 90%.
What are the IQ Capital evaluation rules?
To pass an IQ Capital evaluation, which IQ Capital calls a Challenge, hit the profit target without breaking the max drawdown. Core evaluations have no minimum trading days, so you can pass in one day. Rapid evaluations need 3 trading days, and no single day can be over 40% of your profit. Close all trades by 4:45 PM ET.
