Question 1

Is this real money trading or simulated?

Accepted Answer

All trading on Redline is SIMULATED. Your evaluation and funded accounts are simulated capital on a CME-licensed dxFeed market-data feed — orders go to a simulator, not to a live exchange or broker. Payouts are paid by Redline from real money, based on your performance in the simulator, per the 80/20 profit split. Redline is NOT a broker-dealer; you are NOT placing trades with your own capital and have no claim on real-market positions.

Question 2

What is a prop trading evaluation?

Accepted Answer

A prop trading evaluation is a simulated trading challenge where you demonstrate your trading skills. Pass by hitting your profit target while staying above the drawdown limit. No gambling or hedging allowed.

Question 3

What are the evaluation rules?

Accepted Answer

Reach your profit target while staying above the trailing drawdown at all times. No daily loss limit — only the trailing drawdown applies. Overnight and weekend holds are permitted. No minimum trading days. No gambling, no hedging, no reckless trading.

Question 4

Can I hold positions overnight or over the weekend?

Accepted Answer

Yes — overnight and weekend holds are permitted on both evaluation and funded accounts. The trailing drawdown still applies 24/7, including across overnight and weekend gaps, so manage risk on held positions accordingly.

Question 5

Is there a daily loss limit?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no daily loss limit on any account size or account type. The only loss-limit rule on your account is the trailing drawdown ($1,000 for 25K, $2,000 for 50K, $3,500 for 100K, or $5,000 for 150K).

Question 6

How do payouts work?

Accepted Answer

After meeting the requirements (8 trading days with 6 profitable days of $130+), request payouts between $500 and $1,500 per cycle. Payouts processed within 24-48 hours. You receive 80% of the requested amount in your bank; Redline retains 20% per the trader agreement.

Question 7

What platforms can I use?

Accepted Answer

Four platforms work with your account on the same CME-licensed dxFeed data: DeepCharts (included free, in-browser), Deepdom ($50/mo L2 / Depth-of-Market upgrade), ATAS (third-party order-flow), and Quantower (third-party multi-asset). The CME market-data agreement is signed once on DeepCharts, then every platform shows live prices with the same dxFeed credentials.

Question 8

Can I use a copy trader?

Accepted Answer

You can copy trades between your own Redline accounts using Volumetrica or TradeSyncer. However, following or copying another person's trades via signal services or trade rooms is prohibited and will result in payout denial.

Question 9

How many funded accounts can I have at once?

Accepted Answer

A maximum of 5 active funded accounts per trader at any one time. Evaluation accounts in progress are not counted toward this cap — only funded accounts. All accounts must be under the same verified identity. No hedging between your own accounts.
