General Questions

What is Thrive Trading?

Thrive Trading is a proprietary trading firm that provides traders with access to capital in exchange for a profit-sharing model. Our goal is to empower traders by offering financial backing, professional-grade tools, and educational resources to support long-term trading success.

Anyone over the age of 18 with a basic understanding of trading can join Thrive Trading. No prior professional experience is required, and traders of all skill levels are welcome to participate.

Thrive Trading currently provides access exclusively to the Futures market, covering major indices, commodities, forex futures, and bonds. We are actively working to expand into other markets, including cryptocurrencies and additional asset classes in the future.

Accounts & Evaluation (Future Feature)

What are the rules for Thrive Funded Accounts?

Key trading rules include:

  • Hedging is not allowed. Traders cannot open offsetting positions in the same or correlated instruments.

  • Collusion between traders is strictly prohibited. Sharing accounts, coordinated trading, or exploiting firm rules is a violation.

  • Daily Loss Limits (DLL) are a soft breach. Exceeding the limit will not immediately terminate the account but will require corrective action.

  • News trading is allowed. Traders can enter and hold positions during high-impact news events.

  • Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) is permitted. Traders may scale into positions, but excessive risk-taking may lead to review.

Traders can hold up to five active funded accounts and are allowed to copy trades across these accounts using trade copier software. 

Currently, Thrive Trading provides access through Rithmic for data and execution. Additional platforms, such as TradingView, NinjaTrader, and Tradovate, are under review and may be integrated soon.

Fees and Payouts

Is there an initial fee to join?

Yes, there is an initial account fee to access our funded accounts. The fee varies based on the account size and funding tier selected.

No, Thrive Trading does not take any profit splits. Traders keep 100% of their profits subject to the withdrawal limits and payout schedule.

We aim to approve all payouts within 1 business day and to send you the funds within 2 business days after approval

Trader Bank

What is The Trader Bank?

The Trader Bank is Thrive’s exclusive feature that allocates additional bonuses from every payout a trader earns. These bonuses are stored in a “Trader Bank” until you reach a target balance of $30,000.

How It Works:

  1. 100% of each payout goes directly to you as an outright cash payment.

  2. 50% of each payout  is then added to your Trader Bank bonus to help you build towards the $30,000 milestone. For example you requested a payout of $2500 you get that in full, and an additional $1250 bonus is added to your trader bank. So your total payout is $3750.

     

Once you reach the $30,000 Trader Bank goal, you will graduate from Thrive Sim Trading and unlock two options:

    • The Fund Incubator Program (a step towards direct capital funding).

    • Cashout of your full $30,000 balance and withdraw your funds.


This structure is designed to incentivize responsible trading, while also providing a clear and achievable pathway to financial growth.

Payouts and Trader Bank bonuses are structured based on account size, ensuring traders receive fair payouts while steadily progressing towards graduation

Rules & Restrictions

What happens if I violate the rules?

Violating Thrive Trading’s rules, such as hedging or engaging in collusion, will result in immediate termination of the account. Other breaches, such as exceeding the Daily Loss Limit, may be classified as a soft breach and require corrective action.

Thrive Trading supports various trading styles, including:

  • Scalping – Short-term trading with high frequency


As long as traders adhere to risk management rules, these strategies are permitted.

News trading is allowed, meaning traders can hold and enter positions before, during, and after major economic reports. However, volatility risks should be managed carefully.

The End of Day max drawdown is a risk management tool that follows the account’s End of Day peak balance and stops trailing once you achieve your allocated  drawdown for your account size. This ensures traders cannot lose all their gains after reaching a certain threshold.

For example, A $150k account will have an End of Day Max Drawdown of $5000 which will trail at the end of each day against your peak balance and will stop trailing once you achieved $5000 in trading profits.

Thrive Trading supports:

  • Stock index futures (e.g., ES, NQ, YM)

  • Commodity futures (e.g., gold, oil, natural gas)

  • Forex futures (e.g., EUR/USD, GBP/USD)


A full list of tradable assets can be found in the Thrive dashboard.
