Questions, Answered.

Founded in 2021, QATS is a financial technology company specializing in algorithmic trading infrastructure, risk management and measurable trader evaluation. Its prop trading program, QATS Prop, launched in 2024 and gives independent traders a structured way to demonstrate skill and qualify for a QATS Funded Account with performance-based payouts.

Pass the 1-step evaluation: meet your plan's profit target and at least 2 qualifying trading days, without breaching its loss limits. Then accept the Funded Account Schedule and pay any activation fee attached to your chosen option. Evaluation and Funded are simulated; Live Funded requires a separate review.

Current simulated account sizes are Crypto: $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000; TradFi: $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, $150,000. These are program account balances, not cash deposits or guaranteed live capital.

The selected plan states whether payment is one-time or monthly. For a monthly plan, renew from account billing or separately authorise the recurring card charges disclosed before checkout. If a month is not paid, open positions are closed, automation stops and trading pauses until you renew. An account left unpaid for 30 days is closed. Plans with a reset credit add one free reset to each paid renewal.

Once the server confirms that every objective is met, accept the QATS Prop Terms and Funded Account Schedule to activate your funded account. On the Activation fee option, the one-time activation fee is charged at that point.

The current plans pay the trader 80% of the approved gross payout request. The company keeps the remainder; applicable transfer fees are shown separately before you confirm. Existing accounts retain their accepted rules.

The current Funded plans require 5 qualifying winning days, each with at least $50–$500 net profit depending on account size. A request can release up to 50% of eligible profit, subject to the plan's cycle cap, KYC and finance approval. Live Funded removes the 50% release restriction under its own schedule. Qualifying days are not a promise of transfer time.

Breaching the maximum loss limit closes the affected account and the dashboard records the breached threshold. A breached Evaluation whose plan has a reset price can be reset with a paid reset or an available reset credit; the reset opens a new account with the same recorded rules. On the current Crypto offers, daily loss is a breach too. On TradFi offers, the daily rule pauses entries until the next session, but touching the separate maximum-loss floor still breaches the account.

Yes. QATS supports manual trading, systematic strategies, bots and connected API workflows, subject to the account rules and technical access available to you.

Current plans cover 17 crypto perpetuals and 33 TradFi perpetuals, including stocks, indices, metals and energy. Crypto plans use Binance or Bybit market data; TradFi evaluations use Binance market data. The public Markets directory lists the instruments, venues, leverage and session rules.

The Challenge and initial Funded stages are simulated. Live Funded is the next stage: real capital and real orders on Binance or Bybit, reached through a separate review with the applicable agreement, eligibility checks and final approval.
