How it works

How an evaluation becomes a live, broker-held account.

Many prop firms take the opposite side of their own traders and benefit when those traders lose. LiqAlpha funds those who pass, mirrors their positions to a real brokerage account, and earns only when they do.

The route

  1. Step 1

    Choose route and size

    1 Step, 1 Step Pro, 2 Step, 2 Step Prime, 2 Step Pro or 3 Step, from $2,500 to $100,000. Settle by card, UPI or crypto, and your MetaTrader 5 credentials follow within minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Complete the evaluation

    Reach each phase's profit target on closed trades, record the required profitable days, and keep equity clear of the daily and maximum loss limits. No phase carries a deadline.

  3. Step 3

    Confirm your identity

    A government ID and a liveness selfie, reviewed in about 24 hours. Multi-phase routes verify after Phase 1; single-phase routes verify after the challenge.

  4. Step 4

    Pass the funding review

    A member of staff reads the complete evaluation record for prohibited practices and account ownership. Most reviews conclude the same day, and the funded login follows directly.

  5. Step 5

    Trade LiqAlpha Live

    The funded account opens at 10% of the evaluation size, with no daily loss limit, no target and no minimum days: only a static maximum loss limit. Each position is mirrored to a real brokerage account held by LiqAlpha.

  6. Step 6

    Withdraw, then scale

    You retain 80% of profit from the first dollar. Payouts may be requested daily, several times a day if you wish, from $20. Each completed two-month cycle doubles the account, up to eight times its opening size.

LiqAlpha Live

Funded positions reach the market through a brokerage account that LiqAlpha owns and carries the risk on. Our portion of your profit is how we are paid, which is why published rules remain as published and payouts are processed rather than debated.

  • No unpublished consistency rule
  • Every limit carries a figure and an audit trail
  • Payouts on any day, from $20

How the conventional model works

When a firm keeps every position internal, it becomes the counterparty to each one. Its revenue is what its traders lose, and so ambiguous rules, drawdowns that drift and protracted payouts are consequences of the structure rather than oversights.

Our design reverses that. The evaluation is simulated, which keeps its cost modest; the funded stage is real, which places the firm's capital beside the trader's judgement.

Direct answers

Does the evaluation also run on a real brokerage account?
It does not. Evaluations are simulated accounts priced from live market data. This keeps fees reasonable and lets us assess trading without market impact. Only funded accounts are mirrored to a real brokerage account.
Where does LiqAlpha's revenue come from?
From evaluation fees and from our share of funded traders' profit. We do not run a book against you, so your losses are never our income.
Is execution affected by the mirror?
No. You trade an ordinary MetaTrader 5 account. The mirror replicates your positions on our brokerage account; nothing is placed between you and your fills.
Can the mirroring be confirmed?
Yes. Request a copy report for any funded account through support and you will receive the matched trades from both sides.
