Traderscale Review: written by us, checkable by you
What we offer, what it costs, and every rule in plain English. Payout evidence you can audit on the blockchain. And a straight answer on which challenge fits the way you trade.
Most companies wouldn't publish a review of themselves. We did, because traders research us anyway, and the full picture is worth having from the source.
This page is written and published by Traderscale. We're not pretending to be independent, because we're not. What we can be is checkable.
THE THREE PRINCIPLES THIS REVIEW FOLLOWS
-
What's ours is labelled ours.
Marketing claims don't dress up as independent facts on this page.
-
What’s in the rules is what you get.
Every rule is written in plain English, including the strict ones, so there are no surprises after you buy.
-
Payout evidence doesn't ask for faith.
Our payout wallets are public, and every crypto payout is visible on-chain.
If you'd rather start with something we can't edit, that's the right instinct. Our on-chain payout wallets are the fastest route: public addresses, full history, no screenshots required. This page exists to put everything else around that proof.
How we put this page together, and how to flag an error, is at the bottom: How we reviewed ourselves.
The short version
Traderscale is a Dubai-based prop trading firm, launched in 2023 and run by the same team that operates the forex brokerage Nuvesto, funding forex and CFD traders with simulated accounts from $10,000 to $400,000. You pay a one-time fee, prove you can trade inside the rules, and keep 80% of the profits you make (90% with an add-on). Payouts run through Rise or USDT, and our payout wallets are public, so the money trail is checkable on-chain.
The honest pitch: our rules are stricter than average and we enforce them. No bots. No copy trading. Every trade needs a stop loss and a minimum two-minute hold. Speedy and Instant accounts add a consistency rule. If your edge survives those constraints, the deal is good: no time limits, credentials issued fast, and a published payout trail most firms don't offer.
The honest caveats: we're three years young, building our record in public rather than resting on a long history. We're not a regulated broker, and no prop firm is; what stands in for trust here is proof, which is why our payout wallets are public. And our rules reward planned, consistent trading. If that's how you trade, they'll feel less like restrictions and more like a level playing field.
Straight talk: our Trustpilot profile is showing a warning right now, while we challenge a review-removal decision. It showed 4.5/5 across 896 reviews when we last verified it (21 August 2026). The full story is in the reviews section, next to payout proof you can audit on-chain.

What is Traderscale?
Traderscale is a proprietary trading firm ("prop firm"): you pay a one-time fee to prove your trading in a simulated evaluation, and if you stay profitable inside the rules, we pay you a real share of the profits you generate.
You never deposit trading capital with us, and we never hold your money as an investment. The fee buys an evaluation. Pass it (or skip it, on Instant Funding) and you trade a funded account of $10,000 to $400,000.
That account is simulated. The balance on your screen isn't a live brokerage account with $200,000 of company money sitting in it. What's real is the payout: when you make profit within the rules, Traderscale pays your 80% to 90% share in actual money. Our terms say exactly this, and we'd rather repeat it in plain English than have you discover it in clause 9.
That's also how every major prop firm works, whatever the marketing implies. The industry runs on evaluation fees and simulated capital. The difference between firms is whether the rules are clear, whether enforcement is fair, and whether payouts actually arrive. Those three things are what the rest of this page is about.
We are not a broker. We don't take deposits, execute your personal funds, or give investment advice. If you want a regulated broker relationship, that's a different product, and we say so plainly in the legitimacy section.
Who owns Traderscale?
Traderscale was founded by Luke Gregory (CEO), is run by the same team that operates the forex brokerage Nuvesto, and works through three companies: Tradelytic FZCO in Dubai, Traderscale LTD in Cyprus, and Traderscale Limited in Saint Lucia.
The person first. Luke Gregory founded Traderscale after ten years in the FX industry and runs it from Dubai. He's not a silhouette: he's on our team page with the rest of the company, 25 people across 7 countries, including the named support agents (Marco, Jeryl, Norres) you'll actually talk to.
Broker backed. The same team behind Traderscale operates Nuvesto, a forex brokerage, so the people running your funded account also run live market infrastructure every day. Traderscale itself is not a broker, and your challenge fee is a service payment, not a deposit held with Nuvesto or anyone else.

The story so far
-
2020
traderscale.com is registered, three years before launch.
-
2023
Traderscale launches from Dubai.
-
2025
Sunderland A.F.C. announces Traderscale as an official trading partner (February).
-
2026
$5.5m+ paid to traders across 180+ countries, with the payout trail public on-chain.
The corporate structure, since "who actually owns this" is a fair question to ask any prop firm:
| Company | Where | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Tradelytic FZCO | Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai, UAE | Owns and operates traderscale.com; runs the evaluation programme |
| Traderscale LTD reg. HE 461789 | Cyprus | Payment processing |
| Traderscale Limited reg. 2025-00202 | Saint Lucia | Technology services for the MetaTrader 5 platform |
Splitting payments, technology and operations across entities is normal for firms serving 180+ countries. We publish the registration numbers so you don't have to take "normal" on faith.
Two football partnerships are easy to verify independently: we're the Official Online Trading Partner of Cardiff City F.C., and Sunderland A.F.C. announced us as their official trading partner in February 2025. Clubs run due diligence before putting a brand on their site. It's not proof we're perfect. It is proof we're a real company that real organisations checked.
How Traderscale works
Seven steps sit between "I want a funded account" and money arriving. Here's each one, with the honest timing.
Pick a challenge.
Instant Funding (no evaluation), Speedy (one phase) or Pro (two phases). Sizes $10K to $400K. The overview below does the choosing maths.
Pay the one-time fee.
Card, crypto and several regional methods at checkout. The fee is the price of the evaluation. It's not a deposit, and on Speedy and Instant it isn't refundable. Pro refunds it with your first payout.
Trade the evaluation.
Hit the profit target without touching a drawdown limit. No time limit; just place at least one trade every 10 days so the account doesn't go inactive.
Get funded.
Pass Speedy and credentials arrive by email instantly. Pro credentials arrive within 48 hours. Instant Funding skips straight here.
Trade the funded account.
Same rules, same platform, real stakes now. Complete your KYC (identity check) and sign the funded trader agreement so nothing delays your first payout.
Request a payout.
When you're eligible (timing, minimum $250 profit share, consistency where it applies), the Request Payout button goes live in your dashboard. Your account goes read-only while the request is reviewed.
Get paid.
Compliance reviews the trading within 48 business hours; approved payouts are sent within 72 business hours, by Rise or USDT. Our payout wallets are public, so you can watch the money move on-chain.
Where people stumble: skipping the rules before step 3. Read the rules, in plain English. It only takes ten minutes.
What Traderscale offers, in brief
Three routes to a funded account of $10,000 to $400,000: skip the test with Instant Funding, prove it once with Speedy, or take the cheaper two-phase Pro route. Same team, same payout rails, different rule sets.
| Instant Funding | Speedy (1-Step) | Pro (2-Step) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation | None | One phase · 10% target | Two phases · 10% then 5% |
| Price ($100K) | $779 | $716 | $497 |
| Drawdown | 3% daily · 6% trailing | 4% daily · 8% trailing | 5% daily · 10% static |
| Consistency rule | Yes · under 20% | Yes · under 40% | No |
| First payout | After 14 days, then weekly | 30 days (14 with add-on), then fortnightly | 30 days (14 with add-on), then fortnightly |
| Fee refunded | No | No | Yes, with first payout |
| Split | 80% / 90% add-on | 80% / 90% add-on | 80% / 90% add-on |
Instant Funding skips the evaluation entirely: pay, trade, and become payout-eligible after 14 days, with the tightest limits we run. Built for proven intraday traders who'd rather pay more than sit an exam.
Speedy (1-Step) is one clean 10% test with no clock, and funded credentials arrive by email the moment you pass. Built for disciplined traders who want the fast, measured route.
Pro (2-Step) is the cheapest and most forgiving route: a static drawdown floor that never trails, no consistency rule, a free retry on step 2, and your fee back with your first payout. Built for swing traders and anyone whose profits arrive unevenly. This page deliberately stays about the company. Full specifications, sizes and add-ons live on the challenges page, and every rule is published in the help centre.
The Traderscale rules, in plain English
Every Traderscale rule exists for one reason: the model only works if profits come from skill, not from exploiting a simulated environment. Here's each rule, what it means, and the mistake that trips people.
Two kinds of breach first, because the words matter. A soft breach closes the offending position, records the event, and your account carries on. A hard breach (drawdown limits, prohibited practices) ends the account; accumulated profits are forfeited under the terms. Payout reviews are done by humans on the Dealing Team; support agents can't pre-approve strategies or overrule them.
| Rule | What it means | Example | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily drawdown 3% Instant · 4% Speedy · 5% Pro |
The most you can lose in one day, measured against balance or equity (whichever is higher) at the 5pm EDT reset, and checked on live equity all day. | On a $100K Speedy: down $4,000 intraday, even briefly, is a breach. | Floating losses count. A trade that recovers after dipping past the line still breached. |
| Max drawdown, trailing 6% Instant · 8% Speedy |
The floor follows your highest equity up, never down, and locks at starting balance once you're up 6%/8%. | $100K Speedy reaches $104K equity: your floor is now $96K. It never goes down, but it can go up to a max of $100K as your equity increases. | Withdrawing profit and assuming the floor reset. It doesn't. |
| Max drawdown, static 10% Pro |
The floor is fixed at 90% of starting balance, full stop. | $100K Pro: equity may never touch $90K. | None, really. This one's the simple one. |
| Stop loss required | Every position needs a stop loss at entry (or within 5 minutes with the add-on). | Enter EURUSD, set the stop as part of the order. | Forgetting it: the system closes the trade and logs a soft breach. |
| Two-minute minimum hold | Positions closed under 2 minutes don't count; profits from them are removed. | Scalps are fine at 2+ minutes. | High-frequency tick scalping. Repeated violations can reset the account. |
| Consistency rule funded accounts · Speedy <40% · Instant <20% |
Best single day ÷ total profit for the payout period must stay under the cap. Not a breach; it delays payout eligibility until the ratio improves. | $3,900 total with a $1,500 best day = 38.5% on Speedy: eligible. 40.1%: not eligible. | Requesting a payout right after one monster day. Trade a few more normal days first. |
| No EAs or bots | All trading manual, by you. No expert advisors, scripts, auto-executing signal tools or semi-auto bots. | Trade from your own hands and analysis | "The signal service places trades for me" counts as automation |
| No copy trading | Each account traded independently by its registered owner. Mirrored entries across accounts get flagged. | Two of your accounts can run identical entries, however these trades must be manually placed and must be within the other rules. | Sharing a live session with a friend who mirrors your trades. |
| No hedging, incl. across accounts | No simultaneous buy and sell on the same instrument, in one account or spread across accounts. | Long EURUSD in one account, short in another: prohibited. | "Hedging" a challenge and a funded account against each other. |
| No martingale or grid | No doubling risk after losses; no layered orders without direction. | Lost a trade? Next one at normal size. | Averaging into a loser then calling it scaling. |
| No adding to losing positions (excluding Pro accounts) | New positions on an asset while your existing ones are in loss (exception: within 2 minutes or 5 pips of entry). | Scale winners, not losers. | The classic "it'll come back" add. Here it's a breach, not a strategy |
| Negative risk-to-reward limits | Risking much more than you aim to win is reviewable: above a 60% negative RR share, payouts can be rejected and accounts breached; below it, PnL from those trades can be deducted. | Aim for at least 1:1 on the plan. | 300-pip stop chasing a 20-pip target. It shows up at review. |
| News trading | Evaluations: unrestricted. Funded: fine, but no straddling red-folder events with both directions. Instant: no new trades 5 minutes either side. | Directional trades through news are allowed on funded (non-Instant) accounts | The both-ways news straddle. The one news pattern that fails review. |
| Weekend holding | Needs the weekend add-on. Without it, close before the weekend or your positions will automatically be liquidated at 20:30 UTC. | Swing traders: buy the add-on. | Assuming Friday-night positions are fine because the platform let you keep them. |
| One trade every 10 days | Accounts with no activity for 10 days go inactive, evaluation and funded alike. | A single trade keeps it alive. | Passing, then "resting" for two weeks before KYC. |
| One legal name everywhere | Profile, payment method, ID and payout method must match. No third-party payments, even family. | Pay with your own card, withdraw to your own wallet. | Buying with a partner's card. It can deactivate every linked account. |
| Risking the whole daily limit on a single asset at once | Deploying your full daily allowance on a single asset at one time is treated as gambling, not trading. Instant accounts max risk is 2.5% | Size so a normal loss is a fraction of the daily limit. | "One shot at 4%" on day one. |
| TraderProtect (Instant Funding only) | Positions are automatically liquidated when equity reaches -2% to prevent hitting daily drawdown limits. | 5 open positions on a $100K account with -$2000 equity. | Over-risking. Our most successful traders rarely risk more than 0.5% per trade. |
The three that deserve a second read, from our support volume: the trailing drawdown after a payout, the consistency percentage, and adding to losers. All three get worked numbers in Getting the rules right.
Traderscale payouts and proof
Does Traderscale actually pay? Yes, and you don't have to take our word for it: our payout wallets are public, so every crypto payout is visible on the blockchain.
Start with the part you can check without trusting us. Payouts sent in USDT go out from wallets we publish on our payouts page:
Open those addresses and you're looking at the raw payout history: amounts, dates, recipients. No screenshot required.

How a payout actually happens
When you're eligible (minimum $250 profit share, no open positions, KYC done, agreement signed, minimum days met, consistency satisfied where it applies), the Request Payout button activates in your dashboard. From there:
- You pick the method: Rise or USDT ERC20 (minimum $250).
- Your account goes read-only while the request is reviewed. No new trades, no closes. Plan around it.
- The Dealing Team reviews the trading, up to 48 business hours.
- Approved payouts are sent within 72 business hours.
- A certificate is issued for every approved payout, downloadable from your dashboard.
How to make approval routine:
Payouts are reviewed against the published rules, and traders who stay inside them get paid on a schedule you can watch on-chain. The pre-request checklist that keeps approval boring: a stop loss on every trade, nothing held under two minutes, no hedging or averaging into losers, risk-to-reward planned at 1:1 or better, and the consistency number checked before you press the button. Getting the rules right walks through the maths.
Traderscale reviews and reputation
Our Trustpilot profile showed 4.5/5 across 896 reviews when we last verified it on 21 August 2026. Days later, Trustpilot removed a set of reviews and replaced our rating with a consumer warning. Here's exactly what happened, in our own words.
About our Trustpilot profile
As of 25 August 2026, our Trustpilot profile shows a consumer warning and no rating, after Trustpilot removed a set of reviews its systems flagged. Trustpilot's policy is not to share which reviews were removed or the specific reasons, so we can't show you their evidence, and they haven't shown us.
Our account of it is less dramatic: for a period, our support team asked happy traders in chat whether they'd leave a review. Collecting reviews that way sits outside Trustpilot's guidelines, and stopping it is on us. Review invitations now run through neutral channels only, and we've asked Trustpilot to re-examine the profile. We have never paid for reviews.
Until that's resolved, judge us on evidence no platform can take down: public payout wallets, downloadable certificates, and 250+ funded traders telling their own stories on camera. Check them out on Youtube or our Success Journeys page.
The reviews themselves told a consistent story before the removal: fast payouts and support agents people knew by name. We'll put the live rating back on this page the day the profile is restored, and not a day before.
Questions about anything on this page get a human answer around the clock: talk to support.
Getting the Traderscale rules right
Three rules account for most of the questions our support team answers. Get these three right and the rest of the rulebook mostly takes care of itself.
1. The trailing drawdown keeps its high-water mark after a payout
- The rule
- On Speedy (8%) and Instant (6%), the drawdown floor follows your highest equity up, locks at your starting balance once you're 8% (or 6%) up, and never moves back down. A withdrawal lowers your equity, not the floor.
- The maths
- Your $100K Speedy account reaches $104,000, so your floor sits at $96,000. You withdraw $3,200 of profit. Equity is now roughly $100,800 and the floor is still $96,000: your cushion is $4,800, not $8,000. Check your equity breach levels in your trader area before trading again.
- The habit
- After each payout, size your risk as if you'd started a fresh, slightly smaller account. Prefer a floor that never moves at all? That's exactly what Pro's static 10% is for.
2. The consistency number is a quick division.
- The rule
- On funded Speedy accounts your best single day must stay under 40% of the payout period's total profit (under 20% on Instant; Pro has no consistency rule). Going over isn't a breach, it just delays eligibility until the ratio improves.
- The maths
- Best day ÷ total profit. A $1,500 best day against $3,900 total is 38.5%: eligible. Against $3,750 it's exactly 40%: not yet. A couple of normal trading days tips it over the line. You can divide your best days profit by 40% for Speedy or 20% for Instant to work out the profit you need to reach in order to be eligible for payout.
- The habit
- Check the ratio in your dashboard. Try to target a consistent amount of profit each day. If one great day dominates the period, bank a few steady days first, then the Request Payout button will appear. If your style produces rare big days by design, Pro counts them in full.
3. Plan every trade like the Dealing Team will read it, because it will
- The rule
- Payout reviews look for planned, independent trading: a stop loss on every position, at least two minutes in the market, no adding to positions in loss, no increasing risk or lot size on the same asset after a loss (martingale) and risk-to-reward planned at 1:1 or better.
- The maths
- A 30-pip stop chasing a 30-pip target is a plan. A 300-pip stop chasing a 20-pip target is the pattern the review process exists to catch, and profits built on it can be excluded from a payout.
- The habit
- Read the rules. Decide the stop and the target before entry, and let the numbers be boring. Traders who do this rarely hear from the Dealing Team at all: the review confirms what the plan already showed.
Where complaints really come from
An honest pattern from our support queue: most complaints start in one of two places. A rule that wasn't read before the first trade, usually the trailing drawdown or the consistency number above. Or trading that drifted into gambling: doubling down after losses, or risking a whole daily limit on one idea.
We try to make the rules hard to miss. They're linked at checkout, in your welcome emails, in your contract, in video format in your Trader Area and throughout the help centre, and this page exists so you can read them before spending a penny. But no amount of highlighting reads them for you. Ten minutes with the rulebook is the cheapest edge we can offer, and it's free.
And if a rule ever does surprise you after you've bought, tell us. That means we didn't make it visible enough, and we'd rather fix the page than argue the point.
A breach notice always names the rule involved, and support can walk you through the specific trades behind any decision, around the clock. Read the rules once before your first trade and the review process stays exactly what it should be: routine.
Is Traderscale legit?
By the tests that matter for a prop firm (a real company with named owners, published rules, checkable payouts and no regulator warnings), yes. By the test some buyers assume (a regulated broker holding protected client money), no, and no prop firm passes that one.
Evidence for
-
Real, named company.
Registered entities in Dubai, Cyprus (HE 461789) and Saint Lucia (2025-00202), a named founder and CEO (Luke Gregory), and 25 staff on the team page

-
Three years of operating history.
27,254+ funded traders claimed, 250+ recorded trader interviews.

-
Established platforms:
MetaTrader 5 and Match-Trader. Not homemade software.
-
Success Journeys:
Hundreds of payout interviews with both our social media team and Gary Beadle, both in person and over Zoom.
What to understand before you buy
-
A prop firm is not a broker.
Evaluations aren't a regulated investment product, here or anywhere in the industry. Your fee buys the evaluation service, not a protected deposit, and we'd rather you know that from us than from clause 9.
-
The capital is simulated; the payouts are real.
The $200,000 on your screen is an evaluation environment. Your profit share is paid in actual money from company revenue, on the trail you can watch on-chain
-
Payouts follow the rules.
Requests are reviewed against the published rulebook, which is why this page puts so much effort into making the rules impossible to miss
-
We're three years young.
We'd rather earn the long-track-record badge in public, with published wallets, than claim it early
The one-paragraph verdict
Traderscale is a real firm that publishes its rules, names its people and pays out on a trail you can audit. It isn't a regulated custodian of your money, because no prop firm is; what it offers instead is proof you can check and rules you can read before you spend anything. If "legit" means "will honest trading inside the published rules get paid", the on-chain record is our answer. If "legit" means "risk-free", nothing in trading qualifies, and we'd rather tell you that here than let a sales page imply otherwise.
Who Traderscale is for (and who it isn't)
Traderscale may suit you if
- You trade manually, with stop losses, and hold positions for minutes to days.
- Your returns come steadily rather than from one giant day (or you'll pick Pro, where lumpy is fine).
- You want payout evidence you can verify rather than take on trust.
- You value no time limits over maximum leverage.
- You want weekly payouts and no exam (Instant), one fast test (Speedy), or the cheapest careful route with a refundable fee (Pro).
- You'd rather trade with a firm whose support staff have names and reply at 3am.
Traderscale probably isn't for you if
- Your edge is an EA, bot or copied signal. All trading here is manual, and that's a firm line, not a preference.
- You scalp sub-two-minute moves or trade the news second by second. The 2-minute hold and Instant's news window aren't built for that style.
- You average into losing positions, run martingale or grid, or hedge both directions. Our rulebook asks for planned, directional trading instead.
- You want a regulated broker holding your deposit. We're not that, and won't pretend otherwise.
- One monster winning day is the whole plan. Speedy and Instant reward steadiness; Pro is our home for big-day traders.
- You need 1:100 leverage on a one-phase account. Ours is 1:30 outside Pro
If a few of the second list describe you, the fix is usually the route, not the firm: Pro exists precisely for bigger days, higher leverage and a floor that never moves. Unsure which fits? Ask support before you buy; matching you to the right rule set is the cheapest thing we do.
What you get (and the trade-offs)
Pros
- Public payout wallets: the only proof format that doesn't need trust.
- No time limits on any evaluation.
- Instant funded credentials on passing Speedy.
- Pro: static drawdown, no consistency rule, fee refunded, one free retry.
- Rules centralised and published, article by article, in the help centre.
- Named 24/7 support team: real humans, around the clock.
- Up to $600K allocation across accounts; no cap on total payouts.
Trade-offs
- The rulebook asks for discipline: mandatory stops, a 2-minute minimum hold, no averaging down, no hedging, no automation. It filters for planned trading, and it applies to everyone.
- Consistency rules on Speedy (40%) and Instant (20%) reward steady weeks over one big day (Pro has no consistency rule).
- The trailing drawdown keeps its high-water mark after payouts on Speedy and Instant (Pro's floor is static).
- Leverage is 1:30 outside Pro, which runs up to 1:100.
- Speedy and Instant fees are non-refundable; Pro refunds yours with the first payout.
- US residents trade on Match-Trader only.
- Weekend holding is an optional add-on rather than a default.
These are real trade-offs, not decoys, and each one has a route around it inside the product line. That's deliberate: the right rule set beats the loudest discount.
What makes Traderscale different
Every prop firm promises funding and payouts. Four things about Traderscale are checkably different, and they're the reason traders pick us.
Proof you don't have to trust.
Our payout wallets are public and every crypto payout is visible on-chain. Screenshots can be edited; the blockchain can't. See the wallets
No clock on any evaluation.
Take a week or take six months; the only activity requirement is one trade every 10 days.
Funding at the speed of passing.
Pass Speedy and your funded credentials arrive by email instantly; Instant Funding skips the evaluation entirely and pays weekly once you're eligible
People with names.
A 25-person team across 7 countries, a founder on the team page, support that answers around the clock, and the same crew running the forex brokerage Nuvesto day to day.
Add the numbers (up to 90% split, $600K max allocation, no payout cap, add-ons that change exactly one rule each) and the pitch stays simple. Stick to the rules. Get paid.
Traderscale FAQ
Figures checked 21 September 2026.
Traderscale is a real prop firm launched in 2023 by founder and CEO Luke Gregory, run by the same team that operates the forex brokerage Nuvesto, with registered companies in Dubai, Cyprus and Saint Lucia, and public payout wallets verifiable on-chain. It is not a regulated broker, and payouts are conditional on following the published trading rules. The full evidence is in Is Traderscale legit?
No. The checkable record points the other way: our payouts are visible on public blockchain wallets, our founder is named and public, and no financial regulator warnings naming Traderscale were found as of 21 September 2026. Our Trustpilot profile currently shows a warning while we challenge a review-removal decision; our statement on it is in the reviews section.
Most complaints that reach our support team trace back to one of two things: a rule that wasn't read before trading (usually the trailing drawdown or the consistency number) or risk-taking the rulebook prohibits, such as averaging into losing positions. That's why the rules sit front and centre on this page: the rules in plain English and Getting the rules right cover the ones that matter most, with worked numbers.
In August 2026, Trustpilot removed a set of reviews its systems flagged and replaced our rating with a consumer warning. Our account: for a period, our support team asked happy traders in chat whether they'd leave a review, which sits outside Trustpilot's collection guidelines. Invitations now run through neutral channels only, we have never paid for reviews, and we've asked Trustpilot to re-examine the profile. The full statement is in the reviews section.
Yes. Payouts are sent by Rise or USDT (ERC20), the payout wallets are public and auditable on Etherscan and Arbiscan, and the payouts page showed $188,663.59 paid across 97 payouts in the previous 30 days when checked on 21 September 2026.
Traderscale was founded by Luke Gregory (Founder & CEO), and is run by the same team that operates the forex brokerage Nuvesto. It operates through Tradelytic FZCO (Dubai, UAE), Traderscale LTD (Cyprus, registration HE 461789) and Traderscale Limited (Saint Lucia, registration 2025-00202).
Luke Gregory is Traderscale's Founder and CEO, based in Dubai, with ten years in the FX industry. He appears with the rest of the 25-person team on the team page.
Dubai, UAE (Dubai Silicon Oasis), with a team of 25 across seven countries. Payment processing runs through a Cyprus company and MetaTrader 5 platform services through a Saint Lucia company.
2023. The traderscale.com domain was registered in January 2020.
No. Traderscale is not a regulated broker or investment firm, and prop-firm evaluations aren't a regulated investment product at any firm. Fees pay for a simulated trading evaluation with real payouts; they're not protected deposits. That's exactly why we make our payout evidence publicly verifiable: proof does the job a licence can't.
No. Traderscale doesn't accept deposits or execute your personal funds. Trading happens in a simulated environment on MetaTrader 5 or Match-Trader, and payouts are made by Traderscale from company revenue.
The published process: compliance review within 48 business hours, then payment within 72 business hours of approval. First payouts unlock after 30 days on Speedy and Pro (14 with the add-on) or 14 days on Instant Funding, then every 14 days (every 7 on Instant).
80% to you as standard, 90% with the profit-split add-on. There's no cap on total payouts.
Instant: 3% daily, 6% trailing max. Speedy: 4% daily, 8% trailing max. Pro: 5% daily, 10% static max. Daily limits reset at 5pm EDT and are checked on live equity; trailing floors follow the account's high-water mark, never loosen, and lock at the starting balance once the account is 6%/8% up.
On funded accounts: yes for Speedy (best day under 40% of period profit) and Instant (under 20%), no for Pro. Breaking it isn't a breach; it delays payout eligibility until the ratio improves.
During evaluations, yes, without restriction. On funded accounts, directional news trading is allowed, but straddling a red-folder event with simultaneous buy and sell orders is prohibited. Instant accounts can't open new trades within 5 minutes either side of red-folder events.
No. All automation is prohibited on every account type: EAs, scripts, auto-executing signal services, semi-automated tools. Every trade must be placed manually by you.
Yes, above two minutes. Every position must be held at least 2 minutes; profits from shorter trades are removed, and repeat offences can reset the account.
Overnight, yes (drawdown rules keep applying through the 5pm EDT rollover, when spreads can widen). Over the weekend: only with the Hold Weekend add-on; accounts without it auto-close positions at 20:30 UTC.
MetaTrader 5 and Match-Trader. US residents can only use Match-Trader.
Yes, on Match-Trader only. Fully restricted countries (as listed in the help centre): Iran, Cuba, Sudan, Syria, North Korea, Myanmar, the Virgin Islands and Vietnam.
Pay the fee, get a funded account with no evaluation, and become payout-eligible after 14 days once you've had 4 profitable days of 0.25%+. Then payouts run weekly. The rules are the tightest we offer: 3% daily / 6% trailing drawdown, 20% consistency, a 2.5% per-asset risk cap and a news-window restriction. Full section here.
Trade inside the published rules and approval is routine: keep a stop loss on every trade, hold positions at least two minutes, avoid hedging, averaging into losers and automation, plan trades at 1:1 risk-to-reward or better, and check your consistency number before requesting (best day under 40% of period profit on Speedy, under 20% on Instant). Complete KYC and the funded trader agreement early so nothing delays the first payout. Getting the rules right has the worked examples.
Soft breach (like a missing stop loss): the position is closed automatically, the event is logged, your account continues. Hard breach (drawdown, prohibited practices): the account is deactivated and accumulated profits are forfeited. Serious integrity violations (account sharing, third-party payments) can terminate all linked accounts.
Speedy: funded credentials arrive by email instantly. Pro: within 48 hours. Then you complete KYC, sign the funded trader agreement, and trade under the same rules until you're payout-eligible.
Pro: yes, refunded with your first payout. Speedy and Instant: no. All fees are one-time, not subscriptions.
$400K per account, $600K total allocation per trader. Exceed the cap and profits on the excess account are voided with the fee refunded. There's no payout cap.
Four things: publicly auditable payout wallets (every crypto payout is visible on-chain), no time limits on any evaluation, funded credentials issued instantly when you pass the 1-Step Speedy challenge, and weekly payouts on Instant Funding. Behind that sits a named 25-person team, run by the same people who operate the forex brokerage Nuvesto. More on each.
Yes, in the sense that the same team behind Traderscale also operates the forex brokerage Nuvesto, so the company runs live market infrastructure beyond its funded-account programme. Traderscale itself is not a broker: challenge fees pay for a simulated evaluation and are not deposits held with Nuvesto or anyone else.
How we reviewed ourselves
The conflict of interest is obvious: we're reviewing our own product. This section is how we've tried to earn your trust anyway.
The method: our own marketing claims are labelled as claims, third-party figures are labelled with when we checked them, and everything factual was verified against our live checkout, help centre, legal pages and the public blockchain before publishing.
All third-party figures were last verified on 21 September 2026. Prices and rules were checked against the live checkout and help centre on the same date. When our rules change, this page changes the same day, and the changelog below records it.

Decide with the rules in front of you
If this page did its job, you now know our rules, our prices and our proof. That's everything a fee decision needs.
Trading involves significant risk. Traderscale evaluations are simulated; fees are payments for evaluation services, not deposits, and passing is not guaranteed.
Nothing on this page is financial advice. Stick to the rules. Get paid.
