Frequently Asked Questions

Velocity Funds is the first AI-powered futures prop firm. We give traders access to simulated evaluation accounts with clearly defined risk, backed by Velocity Intelligence™ (VI Pulse™, VI Sentinel™, VI Debrief™). Pass the evaluation and you can qualify for a Velocity Funded account with real payout opportunities based on your performance inside our framework.

Velocity Edge enforces a Daily Loss Limit and a 50% consistency rule, built for traders who want hard guardrails. Velocity Starter has no Daily Loss Limit but enforces a tighter 35% consistency rule, built for traders who want flexibility. Same profit target, same max drawdown, same account sizes. The choice is about your trading style.

Velocity Funded as a Straight-to-Funded purchase is coming soon. Today, the path to a funded account is through the Velocity Edge or Velocity Starter evaluation. Once you pass, you are awarded a Velocity Funded account with no consistency rule and no daily loss limit.

No. Velocity Funds charges $0 activation fee on every account, Velocity Edge and Velocity Starter. The price you see is the price you pay.

Discount codes are entered at checkout in your trader dashboard. When a promotion is active, you'll see the code displayed in the banner at the top of our website. Copy it, log into your dashboard, and apply it during checkout.

You can reset your evaluation account for 35% off the original purchase price. Monthly plans allow up to 3 resets per billing cycle, refilling on each renewal; one-time plans allow up to 3 resets total before a new purchase is required.

Yes, once. If your Velocity Funded account fails, you can purchase a one-time reset within 24 hours of the breach. One reset per funded account. Once the 24-hour window closes, the account cannot be reset and a new evaluation is required.

Your buffer is the amount of profit you need to earn on a funded account before requesting a full payout. It equals your trailing drawdown amount. On a 50K account, the buffer is $2,000, meaning you need to clear $52,000 in account balance before payouts unlock.

It follows your highest equity in real time. Once your equity reaches starting balance + drawdown amount, the trailing stop locks at your starting balance. From that point forward, you cannot be liquidated below the starting balance.

Once you've cleared your buffer and met the minimum 5 trading days at $150+ profit each, you can request a payout. Weekly reward caps follow the dynamic reward schedule, growing with each successful payout. Payout reviews include a check that trading activity reflects realistic, professional execution.

All positions auto-liquidate at session close every trading day, on every account size. Velocity Funds does not permit holding positions past session close.

Yes. Your contract size scales with profit. Each account size has its own scaling tiers. See the scaling tables on the rules page for the exact thresholds.
