FAQ's

Nemesis Capital is a proprietary trading firm (prop firm) specializing in CFD trading evaluation and funded trader programs. Our objective is to identify skilled traders who demonstrate consistent performance and disciplined risk management. We provide simulated trading accounts where traders can prove their ability under predefined risk parameters. If a trader successfully meets these requirements, they may receive access to a funded account and become eligible for performance-based payouts. It is important to understand that Nemesis Capital does not operate as a broker or investment manager. We do not accept deposits for trading and we do not manage client funds. All trading activities occur in simulated environments designed to replicate real market conditions as closely as possible.

No. Nemesis Capital is not a broker, financial institution, or investment firm.

We do not:

  • Hold client trading funds
  • Execute trades on behalf of clients
  • Offer investment advice
  • Manage portfolios

Instead, we provide evaluation and proprietary trading programs. Traders use simulated accounts to demonstrate performance, and payouts are provided as rewards based on simulated trading results and internal risk models.

This structure is standard across the global prop firm industry.

No. All Nemesis Capital accounts — including funded accounts — operate in simulated trading environments.

This means:

  • Trades are not executed in live financial markets
  • No real capital is placed at market risk
  • Performance is measured internally

However, traders can still earn real payouts based on their simulated trading performance if they comply with all program rules and risk parameters.

This model allows Nemesis Capital to evaluate traders safely while rewarding consistent performance.

You may participate in Nemesis Capital programs if you meet the following conditions:

  • You are at least 18 years old
  • CFD trading is legal in your country of residence
  • You are not located in a restricted or sanctioned jurisdiction
  • You provide accurate registration information
  • You accept and comply with Nemesis Terms & Trading Rules

Nemesis Capital reserves the right to refuse or terminate access if eligibility requirements are not met.

Nemesis Capital provides three main program types designed for different trader profiles:

Instant Funding
Immediate access to a funded account without passing an evaluation phase.
This option includes stricter trading restrictions due to the absence of prior evaluation.

1-Step Evaluation
A single-phase challenge where the trader must reach a profit target while respecting all risk rules to become funded.

2-Step Evaluation
A two-phase process requiring traders to demonstrate consistency across two consecutive evaluation stages before funding.

Each program has its own parameters, rules, and conditions which must be respected.

The key difference lies in risk validation.

Evaluation programs require traders to prove performance before receiving funding.
Instant Funding provides immediate funded status but with stricter operational restrictions to mitigate risk exposure.

For example:

  • News trading is allowed in evaluation accounts
  • News trading is not allowed in Instant Funding

This distinction ensures fair and sustainable trading conditions across programs.

Subject to our policy on Prohibited Trading as described below, you can trade using an automated strategy.

When trading a Funded Account for our firm, you are treated as an independent contractor. As a result, you are responsible for any and all taxes on your gains.

Charges come across in the name of Dashboardanalytix.com.

You must be at least 18 years of age, or the applicable minimum legal age in your country, to purchase an assessment.

Opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a News Event is prohibited. Any traders identified as having opened a position during a News Event are subject to having that position closed and the associated P&L removed from their account, having the leverage on their account reduced or having their account breached altogether. The Company has sole and absolute discretion in determining what constitutes a News Event. This rule is intended to protect the integrity of our program and is not meant to penalize traders who inadvertently trade through a news event.

We have risk management software that is synced with the accounts we create. This allows us to analyze your performance in real time for achievements or rule violations. As such, you must use an account that we provide to you.

Assessment and Funded accounts receive the same pricing and commissions as charged by our Liquidity Provider to other, self-funded, retail trading accounts.

Affiliates are credited for referrals when a user creates an account using a link or discount code provided by the Affiliate

Trading hours are generally set by the Liquidity Provider, unless set by our rules. We do not have any control over the trading hours. You can see the trading hours for each product by using the following methods: DXtrade – Right click symbol, select “Instrument Info”, MatchTrader – Click symbol to expand, select “Info”, cTrader – Navigate to Symbol Window, scroll down to see “Market Hours” for selected symbol

Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, traders from all countries, excluding OFAC listed countries, can take part in our program, unless otherwise limited at the Company’s discretion.

1 Step plans offer up to 20:1 leverage on Forex and Metals, up to 10:1 leverage on Indices, up to 5:1 leverage on Oil and up to 2:1 leverage on Cryptocurrencies. 2 Step plans can increase max leverage for Forex and Metals to 30:1

Evaluation Limits: ● You are allowed to take only one evaluation of a specific account size and a specific plan tier at a time across all trading platforms. ● Example: You can have one 100k One Step Plan and one 100k Two Step Plan active simultaneously. However, you cannot have one 100k One Step Plan on DXTrade and another 100k One Step Plan on cTrader, or 2+ 100k 1 Step plans on any combination of platforms. Maximum Assessment Limits: ● A maximum of $1 million in active evaluation plans per person is permitted. This can be composed of multiple assessments, provided that none are the same account size and are within the same Step framework as described above. Maximum Funded Limits: ● A maximum of $1 million in active funded plans per person is permitted. ● If a customer passes multiple assessments and has 2 active funded accounts of the same account size, they will have 2 options: 1. Only have one funded account of that size open at a time and wait for the account to be breached before making the other funded account active. 2. If no trading has taken place in either account, the customer can opt to combine the 2 accounts into a single account of double the size. Compounding Limits: ● There are no limits on compounding. ● You can start with up to $1 million of initial funding and grow the account to any balance you desire, including $10 million, $20 million, and beyond.

You are also prohibited from using any trading strategy that is expressly prohibited by the Company or the Liquidity Providers it uses. Such prohibited trading (“Prohibited Trading”) shall include, but not be limited to: ● Exploiting errors or latency in the pricing and/or platform(s) provided by the Liquidity Provider ● Utilizing non-public and/or insider information ● Front-running of trades placed elsewhere ● Trading in any way that jeopardizes the relationship that the Company has with a Liquidity Provider or may result in the canceling of trades ● Trading in any way that creates regulatory issues for the Liquidity Provider ● Utilizing any third-party strategy, off-the-shelf strategy or one marketed to pass challenge accounts ● Utilizing one strategy to pass an assessment and then utilizing a different strategy in a funded account, as determined by the Company in cooperation with Prop Account, LLC at their discretion ● Attempting to arbitrage an assessment account with another account with the Company or any third-party company, as determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. ●Opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a News Event is prohibited. Any traders identified as having opened a position during a News Event are subject to having that position closed and the associated P&L removed from their account, having the leverage on their account reduced or having their account breached altogether. The Company has sole and absolute discretion in determining what constitutes a News Event. This rule is intended to protect the integrity of our program and is not meant to penalize traders who inadvertently trade through a news event. ●No Gambling Permitted : When participating in trading on both Challenge and Funded Accounts, traders are expected to adhere to responsible risk management practices. This includes carefully considering the risks associated with position size, trade duration, and hedging strategies. Taking excessive risks, such as utilizing maximum leverage to open large positions with the hope of reaching profit targets through a single price movement, is strictly prohibited. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for the full Prohibition of Gambling Practices language. ● If the Company detects that your trading constitutes Prohibited Trading, your participation in the program will be terminated and may include forfeiture of any fees paid to the Company. Additionally, and before any Trader shall receive a funded account, the trading activity of the Trader under these Terms and Conditions shall be reviewed by both the Company and the Liquidity Provider to determine whether such trading activity constitutes Prohibited Trading. In the case of Prohibited Trading, the Trader shall not receive a funded account. ● Additionally, the Company reserves the right to disallow or block any Trader from participating in the program for any reason, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion. To view all Prohibited Uses, please review our Terms and Conditions here, https://dashboardanalytix.com/client-terms-and-policies/?v=3acf83834396

Our technology is currently integrated with DXtrade, MatchTrader & cTrader platforms via GooeyTrader.

Upon purchasing an Assessment, you will receive access to a trader dashboard where you can monitor your Assessment and Funded Accounts. The dashboard is updated in near real time as we calculate your account metrics. It is your responsibility to monitor your breach levels.

Nemesis Capital allows trading of Contracts for Difference (CFDs) across multiple asset classes, including:

  • Forex currency pairs
  • Global indices
  • Cryptocurrency CFDs

All trading occurs on supported platforms under simulated market conditions.

No. All instruments are simulated CFD representations.

This means:

  • Orders are not routed to live exchanges
  • No liquidity provider execution occurs
  • Prices may differ slightly from live markets

Simulation is necessary for evaluation purposes and is standard in the prop firm industry.

Yes. Scalping is permitted and commonly used by many Nemesis traders.

However, scalping must remain legitimate and must not rely on prohibited techniques such as latency exploitation, feed delays, or execution anomalies. Strategies that depend on platform inefficiencies rather than market behavior are not allowed.

As long as scalping reflects realistic market trading behavior, it is acceptable.

News trading policies vary by account type.

News trading is allowed on:

  • 1-Step Evaluation
  • 2-Step Evaluation

News trading is not allowed on:

  • Instant Funding accounts

The restriction on Instant Funding exists because traders receive immediate funded access without prior performance validation. Removing news trading reduces extreme volatility risk and helps maintain sustainable conditions.

Yes, but only if the Overnight Trading add-on is purchased during account acquisition.

Without this add-on, all positions must be closed before the daily market session ends.

This rule ensures that traders who wish to use swing or position strategies can do so, while maintaining controlled risk exposure for standard accounts.

Yes, but only if the Weekend Trading add-on is purchased during account acquisition.

Without this add-on, all positions must be closed before the market closes on Friday.

Weekend gaps can create large price movements beyond risk limits. The add-on allows traders to accept this risk knowingly.

To ensure fair and realistic trading behavior, Nemesis Capital prohibits strategies that rely on artificial advantages or excessive risk escalation.

These include:

  • Martingale strategies
  • Grid trading systems
  • High-frequency execution strategies
  • Arbitrage exploitation
  • Latency-dependent trading
  • Hedging across accounts or firms
  • Copy trading or signal services
  • Platform manipulation

These strategies are banned because they create unrealistic or unsustainable performance profiles that cannot be replicated in live markets.

Martingale and grid systems increase position size after losses to recover drawdowns.

While they can temporarily generate profits, they rely on exponential risk escalation and eventually lead to catastrophic loss. These strategies violate the core principle of controlled risk management required by Nemesis programs.

A trader may hold up to five active Nemesis Capital accounts simultaneously.

This limit ensures fair allocation and prevents excessive risk exposure concentration.

The maximum total allocation per trader is 500,000 USD across all Nemesis accounts combined. This cap applies regardless of account type or platform.

No. Multi-IP trading is prohibited.

Accounts must be operated consistently by the registered trader from a stable environment.
Multiple IP usage may indicate account sharing, coordination, or external control and may result in termination.

If any rule is violated, the evaluation account is considered breached and the challenge ends immediately.

You may choose to purchase a reset to restart the evaluation.

No. Resets are paid services.

However, Nemesis Capital may occasionally provide discounted reset offers through promotional emails or campaigns.

Being funded means you have demonstrated sufficient trading performance and are granted a proprietary trading account under Nemesis risk parameters.

You trade this account in simulation and may request payouts based on compliant performance.

No. Funded accounts remain simulated environments.

However, traders receive real payouts based on simulated performance and internal risk modeling.

This structure is standard across the prop firm industry.

The first payout may be requested 21 days after funded account activation.

Subsequent payouts may be requested every 21 days thereafter.

This payout cycle ensures sufficient performance validation and stability.

Once a payout request is approved and verified, processing typically occurs within 7 business days.

Actual arrival time depends on the selected payout method and destination country.

Nemesis Capital supports:

  • Cryptocurrency payouts
  • Bank transfers
  • Other regional payout providers

Available methods may vary by jurisdiction.

Yes. KYC verification is mandatory before any payout.

This ensures:

  • Fraud prevention
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Identity confirmation

Without approved KYC, payouts cannot be processed.

The profit buffer is the portion of profit that must remain in your account after withdrawals.

Its purpose is to ensure that sufficient equity remains to continue trading safely after a payout.

After a payout, Nemesis Capital applies a drawdown reset mechanism.

This means the maximum loss threshold returns to the initial account balance.

Withdrawn profits no longer act as risk buffer.

If you have:

  • 100,000 account
  • 10,000 max loss
  • Account grows to 109,000
  • You withdraw profit

After payout:

  • Drawdown level resets to 100,000
  • Equity must remain above 100,000
  • Falling below results in breach

This mechanism prevents traders from withdrawing all profit and continuing with insufficient risk buffer.

A breach occurs when any risk rule or program condition is violated.

Examples include:

  • Exceeding maximum loss
  • Exceeding daily loss
  • Prohibited trading
  • Multi-account abuse

A breach results in immediate account termination.

Breaches cannot be reversed.

Currently supported:

  • DXtrade
  • cTrader
  • MatchTrader

TradeLocker support is planned.

No. Simulation conditions may differ from live markets due to:

  • Internal pricing models
  • Data feeds
  • Execution simulation

Nemesis Capital has sole authority over:

  • Rule interpretation
  • Violations
  • Payout eligibility
  • Account status

All decisions are final.

The rules for the Funded Account are exactly the same as your Assessment account. However, with a Funded Account, there is no profit target.

If you have gains in your funded account at the time of a hard breach, you can still request the withdrawal of your portion of those gains. For example, if you have a $100,000 account and you grow that account to $110,000. Should you then have a hard breach, we would close the account. Of the $10,000 in gains in your funded account, you would be paid your portion thereof.

No. We do not have any control over pricing from the liquidity provider(s) or on the executions on your trades.

Traders can request a withdrawal of the gains in their funded account at any time in their trader dashboard, but no more frequently than once per thirty (30) days. So, if you make gain in your funded account, you can request a withdrawal. When you are ready to withdraw the gains from your funded account, click the Withdraw Profits button in your trader dashboard and enter the amount to withdraw. All such gains are distributed via the available outbound payment solutions offered from time to time. Once your withdrawal request is approved, we will pay the monies owed to you, subject to the applicable payment split. We reserve the right to change the withdrawal methods and options at any time.

Upon passing your Assessment, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access and complete both your “Know Your Customer” verification and your “Trader Agreement”. Once both are completed and supporting documentation is provided, your Funded Account will be created, funded and issued to you typically within 24-48 business hours. You will receive a confirmation email once this account is being nabled.

Once you pass the Assessment, we provide you with a funded account, backed by our capital. The capital in your funded Account is notional and may not match the amount of capital on deposit with the Liquidity Provider. A Funded Account is notionally funded when actual funds in the account (i.e., the equity in a Funded Account represented by the amount of capital) differ from the nominal account size (i.e., the size of the Funded Account that establishes the initial account value and level of trading). Notional funds are the difference between the nominal account size and actual capital in a Funded Account. Use of notional funding does not impact your trading conditions in any way.

Your first withdrawal can be requested at any time. Thereafter, you can request a withdrawal of the gains in your account every 30 days. When a withdrawal is approved, we will also withdraw our share of the gains, and your max trailing drawdown will lock in at your starting balance. The trailing drawdown does not reset when you request a withdrawal. Example: You have taken an account from $100,000 to $120,000. You then request a withdrawal of $16,000. In this scenario, you will receive $12,000 and we would retain $4,000. This would also take the balance of the account down to $104,000, and your Maximum Trailing Drawdown is locked in at $100,000. So, you would have $4,000 maximum you could lose on the account before it would violate the Maximum Trailing Drawdown rule. If you take a full withdrawal of the gains in your Funded Account, the Maximum Trailing Drawdown will lock in at the starting balance and trigger the Maximum Trailing Drawdown breach rule, resulting in the forfeiture of your Funded Account.

For purposes of managing risk and minimizing transaction costs, we may offset or negate market risk and act as the direct counterparty to certain trades initiated in the Account. Such trades are executed at prices provided by arm’s length third parties. This framework is intended to ensure you receive real market execution on your trades, while simultaneously allowing us to manage risk dynamically by routing existing positions or future orders to third parties for execution as we deem appropriate. We believe that such real market execution and dynamic risk management would not be possible or as cost-effective if trades were executed in simulated accounts. Regardless of whether we act as counterparty to your trades, the gain or loss on your funded account is not calculated differently. However, when we act as the counterparty to your trades, there is an inherent potential conflict of interest because your trades do not result in net gain or loss to us, as your trades would if we were not the direct counterparty.

The Daily Loss Limit is the maximum your account can lose in any given day. Daily Loss Limit is calculated using the previous day's balance, which resets at 5 PM EST. The Daily Loss limit compounds with the increase in your account. Example: if your prior day's end-of-day balance (5pm EST) was $100,000, your account would violate the daily loss limit if your equity reached $95,000 during the day. If your floating equity is +$5,000 on a $100,000 account, your new- day (5pm EST) max loss is based on your balance from the previous day ($100,000). So, your daily loss limit would still be $95,000.

Maximum drawdown is the maximum your account can drawdown before you would hard breach your account. When you open the account, your Maximum Drawdown is set at a defined % of your starting balance. This % is static and does not trail.

The Maximum Trailing Drawdown is initially set at a specific % and trails (using CLOSED BALANCE - NOT equity) your account until you have achieved a pre-defined % return in your account. Once you have achieved the % return, the Maximum Trailing Drawdown no longer trails and is permanently locked in at your starting balance. Example: If your starting balance is $100,000, you can drawdown to $94,000 before you would violate the Maximum Trailing Drawdown rule. Then, for example, let's say you take your account to $102,000 in CLOSED BALANCE. This is your new high-water mark, which would mean your new Maximum Trailing Drawdown would be $96,000. Next, let's say you take your account to $106,000 in CLOSED BALANCE, which would be your new high-water mark. At this point, your Maximum Trailing Drawdown would be locked in at your starting balance of $100,000. So, regardless of how high your account goes, you would only breach this rule if your account drew back down to $100,000 (note, you can still violate the daily drawdown). For example, if you take your account to $170,000, as long as you do not draw down more than 5% in any given day, you would only breach if your account equity reaches $100,000.

Yes. We will consider you inactive and your account will be breached if you do not have any trading activity on your account for 30 consecutive days.

Forex: 1 lot = $100k notional ● Index: 1 lot = 1 Contract Exceptions: SPX500: 1 lot = 10 contracts JPN225: 1 lot = 500 contracts ● Cryptos: 1 lot = 1 coin ● Silver: 1 lot = 5000 ounces ● Gold: 1 lot = 100 ounces ● Oil: 1 lot = 100 barrels.

● Soft breach means that we will close all trades that have violated the rule. However, you can continue trading in your Assessment or Funded Account. ● Hard breach means that you violated either the Daily Loss Limit or Max Drawdown rule or the Inactivity rule. Violation of these rules constitutes a hard breach. In the event you have a hard breach, you will fail the Assessment or have your Funded Account taken away.

We require all trades to be closed by 3:45pm EST on Friday. Any trades left open after this time will automatically be closed. Note, this is only a soft breach, and you will be able to continue trading once the markets reopen.

Group trading, signal services, passing services, or any other methods that bypass individual strategy are not allowed. Copy trading from one account to another is only permitted if the trader owns all the accounts in question.

The maximum position that you may open is generally determined by your available margin. We reserve the right to increase the margin requirement, limit the max order size or limit the number of open positions you may enter or maintain in the Funded Account at any time, and to revise in response to market conditions the drawdown levels at which trading in the Funded Account will be halted. We or the liquidity provider(s) reserve the right to refuse to accept any order.
