There are two steps, both on a demo account. Step 1 asks for an 8% profit target and Step 2 asks for 4%, both with a 10% max drawdown and a 5% daily loss limit. There are no time limits on either step. Pass both and you trade a funded account of the same size.
What does it cost?+
A one-time fee per account: $99 for $10,000, $199 for $25,000, $299 for $50,000, $499 for $100,000, and $799 for $200,000. It covers both steps, with no subscriptions and no recurring charges.
How quickly can I start?+
Your evaluation login arrives within minutes of purchase. After you pass both steps, your funded account is usually open within one business day.
Can I have more than one account?+
Yes, you can run multiple evaluations or funded accounts. The only restriction is that you can't copy trades between them or trade opposite sides of the same instrument across them.
Trading
What can I trade?+
Major and minor currency pairs, indices, metals, and crypto, on MetaTrader 5 or the web terminal.
Are there time limits or consistency rules?+
No. There are no time limits on either step, and no consistency rules like best-day caps, minimum trading days, or lot-size scoring. The drawdown limits are the only discipline you need to keep.
Can I trade news, hold over weekends, or use an EA?+
Yes to all three. If it's a reasonable way to trade a real account, it's allowed on ours. The only prohibited practices are things that abuse the demo environment, listed plainly in the rulebook.
What happens if I hit the drawdown?+
The account closes. Your dashboard shows your remaining room in dollars at all times, so the limit is never a surprise. You can start a new evaluation whenever you're ready.
Funded accounts and payouts
When and how do I get paid?+
Every Friday. Your week's result is locked at Thursday's close, and we send your 80% the next day by bank transfer or crypto. There's no minimum payout and no payout fee.
Is there a waiting period before my first payout?+
No. Profit in your first week pays out on your first Friday.
Can my account grow?+
Yes. Funded accounts are reviewed for scaling on a regular schedule. Stay profitable while respecting the limits and your size can increase, up to $200,000, with the same rules and split.
Can a payout be refused?+
Only if the profit came from a practice prohibited in the rulebook. If that ever happens, you get the specific reason in writing within 24 hours, and a person reviews every case.
The company
Is my evaluation on a real or demo account?+
All Duskline accounts, including funded ones, run in a simulated environment with pricing mirrored from live market feeds. Payouts are real and follow the published 80/20 split.
How does Duskline make money?+
Evaluation fees and our 20% share of funded-trader profit. When your trading works, our business works.
Can I get a refund?+
An unused evaluation can be refunded within 14 days of purchase, as long as no trade has been placed. The details are in the refund policy.
