Pre-launch — $10 futures evaluations for the first 50

Most traders fail their eval.
We say that before you pay.
One fee, once.

One fee, paid once. No monthly billing, no renewals, no clock. Three rules decide it, and you can recite all three. Most traders do not pass an eval — ours included. Break a rule and a reset costs less than the fee did, and that is the only other charge that exists. For the first 50 people on this waitlist that one fee is $10, any account size up to $100K. No card, nothing charged today — just your email.

Traders Do Not Pass Evaluations

Read every rule before you pay a cent.

The whole path, start to finish — and the full trader agreement goes up before anyone can pay, so you can read it first. If a rule ever changes, an evaluation already in progress finishes under the terms it started with.

01
Pick a Size

$25K, $50K, or $100K simulated account. You pay one evaluation fee, once. It never renews and it never expires.

02
Show Us Your Trading

Reach the profit target without breaking the daily loss limit or the trailing drawdown. Take a week or take a year — there is no deadline.

03
Trade Funded

Pass, and you move to a funded account paid out of CandleFunded's own funds — same three rules you already know, nothing new sprung on you.

04
Take Your 90%

When you're in profit, request a withdrawal from your dashboard and we send you 90% of it. We won't quote a payout speed we can't yet prove — from day one we publish our real processing times instead.

Three sizes. Same three rules, same 90/10, same one fee.

One fee, once. Three rules decide it. And we tell you most people fail.

Open the last eval firm's page you looked at — a big crossed-out number, a discount that "ends tonight" and is back tomorrow, and monthly billing that earns them more the longer you take. We took the opposite lane: one flat fee paid one time, three rules you can recite from memory, and the sentence the industry won't put on a sales page — most traders do not pass evaluations.

  • 🧾

    One Fee, Then Silence From Us

    Most firms bill you monthly while you attempt the eval, so slow months profit them. Your fee here is one-time — take a year and you owe us nothing more. If you break a rule and want another go, a reset costs less than the original fee, and that is the only other thing we will ever charge you.

  • 🎯

    Rules You Can Recite

    A target, a daily loss limit, a trailing drawdown. If a rule ever changes, an evaluation already in progress finishes under the terms it started with.

  • 📖

    Numbers Published, Not Promised

    We are brand new, and you have no payout record to check — nobody's word should be enough, including ours. So from day one of going live we'll post real figures — payouts processed, average processing time — instead of marketing claims. If we can't show it, we won't say it.

  • 🔐

    Your Savings Stay Yours

    The evaluation happens in a simulated account. The only money you ever put at risk is what you hand us on purpose — the evaluation fee, and a reset fee only if you choose another attempt. Funded-account losses are our problem, not yours.

How the 90/10 Split Works — Worked Example
Say you're funded on $50,000
And you make $1,000 profit
You withdraw $900
CandleFunded keeps $100
Monthly fee owed $0
This is arithmetic, not a performance claim. Most traders do not pass evaluations, and trading futures involves substantial risk of loss.

No card. No charge. Just your email.

The first 50 people on this list get a private code — any account size, up to $100K, for a $10 one-time evaluation fee instead of the $149–$549 launch price. No card now, nothing charged today; we're still finishing payments and a lawyer's pass over the fine print. Leave your email — if you're in the first 50, the code reaches you the day evaluations open.

✔ You're on the list. We'll email you when evaluations open — and that message tells you whether you made the first 50 and got the code. One thing while you're here: hit reply on that email and tell us the one thing a brand-new firm would have to show you before you'd trust it with an eval fee. A human reads every reply.

Common questions

We're pre-launch right now. Payments, the trader dashboard, and a legal review of the agreements are being finished — waitlist members get the opening-day email and a discount code. No date promised until we can keep it.
No — evaluations run on a simulated account, so the only money you can lose is the one-time fee. A funded account runs on that same simulated platform. What is real there is the money: we pay you 90% of the profit you make, out of CandleFunded's own funds.
Neither. You pay the evaluation fee once and the account stays open until you pass it or break a rule. Nothing renews, nothing expires, and slow months cost you nothing extra.
Three decide your evaluation: reach the profit target, never lose more than the daily limit in one day, and never let the account fall below the trailing drawdown. The exact dollar figures for each size are on the plan cards above, and the trailing drawdown's exact mechanics - what it measures and when it stops trailing - are written out in full in the trader agreement, which you can read before you pay. On top of those three, the agreement covers which instruments you may trade, restrictions around scheduled high-impact news releases, and conduct we ban outright: copying another participant's trades, latency or bad-print exploits, and sharing a login.
CME-group futures — index futures like ES and NQ, energy, metals, rates. No crypto or single-stock futures at launch. Platform details will be confirmed in the launch email before anyone pays.
Breaking a rule ends that evaluation. You can restart with a reset fee that's cheaper than the original evaluation — the exact reset pricing will be published on this page at launch.
You request a withdrawal, we send 90% of the requested profit to you and keep 10%. We are not going to claim a speed we can't yet show; from the first day we're live our actual processing times are published on this page.
Email candleclubtrading@gmail.com — every message is read by a person, not a bot. The full trader agreement, privacy policy, and risk disclosure will be published before any evaluation is sold.
