What makes a counterparty honest
Four pillars, written down — not painted on a landing page.
Carrick’s whole point is that the rule book and the payout ledger are public, not a sales deck. If a competitor can’t publish theirs, that’s the answer.
- 01
Rules published
Every evaluation criterion, drawdown rule, and consistency target on the public page. No hidden addenda.
- 02
Pass rates public
Live pass-rate tracker, refreshed weekly. Where a competitor publishes marketing copy, we publish the data.
- 03
Payouts ledgered
Funded-account payouts published as a real-time ledger — wallet, amount, day. Auditable, not anecdotal.
- 04
First payout ≤ 7 days
No 30-day cooling window. Your first withdrawal clears once the funded account hits its target.
The rule book
Six rules. No asterisk, no addendum, no “fine print”.
Every line is on the public evaluation criteria page before the trader pays the challenge fee. If a rule changes, the change is versioned and dated — not quietly rewritten at the back-end.
- 01
Daily drawdown: 4% of starting balance, hard cap — not "until you breach".
- 02
Trailing drawdown: 8%, EOD-anchored. No overnight re-attribution mid-session.
- 03
Profit target: 8% in phase one, 5% in phase two.
- 04
Minimum trading days: 5 per phase. No "lottery ticket" submissions.
- 05
Position size cap: 0.5% per trade on the funded account; first 30 days.
- 06
Refundable fee: every cent of your challenge fee returns on first payout.
Where the capital is deployed
Crypto perpetuals and CME futures — by design.
We concentrate the capital pool in markets with institutional flow and transparent price formation. What we don’t underwrite is a deliberate choice, not a gap.
Crypto perpetuals
BTC, ETH and the major altcoin perps on the centralised venues we cover. Liquid, deep, with the highest-quality funding data.
CME-listed futures
Front- and second-month ES, NQ, CL and GC. The same contracts the institutions trade, with the same settlement.
U.S. retail forex
The segment that took down MyForexFunds. We don’t touch it, and that’s the reason our U.S. footprint isn’t restricted.
How a payout moves
From “target hit” to funds in wallet — in five business days, not thirty.
