General & Simulated Environment
What is Idle4ex?
Idle4ex is an educational and trader skill-evaluation platform. After passing a simulated evaluation (or starting with an Instant Simulated Account), you trade simulated capital in a realistic simulated market environment and can earn performance rewards of up to 90% of your simulated gains.
Do I trade real capital or live money?
No. Idle4ex is strictly an educational and evaluation platform. Every account — including evaluation phases, Instant accounts, and "funded" stage accounts — is a demo account with virtual, simulated funds operating in a simulated environment, never real capital.
Who can join?
Anyone 18 or older who is not a resident of a restricted jurisdiction. Identity verification (KYC) is required before your first performance reward payout.
Challenges
Which challenge should I pick?
The 2-Step has two simulated targets (8% then 5%) and the lowest fee. The 1-Step has a single 10% target. Instant Simulated Accounts have no evaluation target but tighter limits: 3% daily and 5% overall.
Is there a time limit?
No. Evaluations have no deadline. You only need 3 profitable days (each at least 0.5% of the starting simulated balance) per phase, and you must place at least one simulated trade every 30 days.
Do the limits change once I reach the funded stage?
Yes. Funded-stage simulated accounts use 3% daily and 5% overall loss limits, trades must stay open at least 3 minutes, and new trades must be at least 5 minutes apart. See the Trading Rules page for every detail.
What happens if I break a rule?
The simulated account is closed and you receive an email explaining which evaluation rule was breached and when.
Can I hold trades over the weekend or trade the news?
Overnight holding on weekdays is always allowed. Weekend holding needs the +20% add-on at checkout. News trading is free during evaluations; on funded-stage and Instant simulated accounts, gains from trades opened or closed within 3 minutes of high-impact news are not eligible for withdrawal.
Payouts & Rewards
When can I request a performance reward payout?
Once your funded-stage or Instant simulated account has the required profitable days and your KYC is approved. You can request up to 6% of the simulated account size in every 14-day period. The minimum request is $100.
What is the reward split?
80% on your first payout, rising to 90% by your 3rd payout on the same simulated account.
How are payouts sent?
In USDT (TRC20) or by bank transfer, only to an account in your own verified name. Each request is reviewed by the Idle4ex team before it is sent.
Platforms & Account
Which platforms can I use?
MetaTrader 5, MetaTrader 4, cTrader. You choose one when you purchase a challenge.
Can I use EAs?
Yes, as long as the EA follows every rule — including the minimum holding time and trade spacing on funded-stage simulated accounts. Strategies that exploit latency or the simulated demo price feed are prohibited.
How do I get my login details?
After payment is confirmed we prepare your simulated trading account and email the login credentials. They also appear in your Idle4ex dashboard under My Accounts.
