The IQ Capital Journal

I actually enjoy the rules here. They push you to trade like a pro – not like a gambler.

This is how crypto prop trading should feel. Clean, honest, and built for performance.

Finally a prop firm that understands crypto. Fair rules, great tools, and no hidden traps.

Consistent profits, transparent payouts, zero BS. If you can trade, IQ Capital will back you.

I passed both phases in under a month. The process is clear, and you always know where you stand.

The academy alone was worth the entry fee. And then I got funded.

First time handling $50k capital and it changes everything. Feels like professional trading without risking my savings.

Passed on my second try. Rules are easy enough to live with, but they still force you to size properly. I used to take one big swing; now I scale in and it’s smoother. Wish I’d learned this earlier."

Had one small question about scaling and support answered instantly. Helpful and polite. That matters.

Requested my first payout on a Tuesday, hit my bank on Thursday morning. No drama. Had to upload one extra document, support replied in ~20 minutes and it was approved. Solid first experience.

I mostly trade indices during NY open. Execution is smooth, spreads reasonable even in high volatility. I had one order slip 4 points on CPI release, but that’s normal in live markets. Feels real.

Passed challenge quicker than I expected. The consistency rule actually kept me from overtrading, so I stayed steady. Love it.

Instant account helped a lot. I trade London session; spreads were fine and orders filled like I’m used to on MT5. I hedged through a CPI print and slippage was there but nothing crazy. Account survived, lesson learned.

Platform is super intuitive. Seeing risk limits updated in real time helps me stay disciplined. Simple and effective.

Used VPN while traveling, no problem as long as you tell them. Other firms shut me down for that. Here they just asked me to confirm it was me. Fair enough.

Scaling up to $100k felt huge at first. The drawdown looked tight, but as long as you keep trades under 1% it’s fine. I’ve adjusted and it’s less stressful than trading my own 5k account ever was.

I’m mostly a swing trader. Holding over the weekend was allowed, which fits my style. Gaps can hurt, but at least the rules don’t force me flat every Friday. Passed in 16 trading days.

Education + funding combo is what I wanted. I went through two strategy modules, kept a tighter journal, and the consistency rule basically stopped my ‘hero trades’. Equity curve looks way less jagged.

I like that they treat traders like partners, not customers. The rules are clear, realistic, and you can actually grow here.

Trading larger size has given me so much confidence. Knowing I can scale up here keeps me motivated.
