Plans and fees

Is this real money?

No. Every GhostProp account is simulated. Your trades never reach a live market and you never risk your own capital beyond the evaluation fee. Payouts are performance rewards paid by GhostProp based on your simulated results, under the trading rules.

What is the difference between Shade, Phantom and Specter?

All three are ready-made evaluations with every rule decided: a cheap, a middle and an expensive plan. Shade is the lowest price with the tightest drawdown and the hardest 2x target. Phantom is the middle path. Specter costs the most and gives the most: the widest drawdown, the easiest 1.5x target, a higher payout cap and no activation fee, because it is funded the moment you pass. Prefer to choose each rule yourself? Use Build your own at checkout.

How much does an evaluation cost?

At launch, futures plans cost $69, $139 or $259 and perps plans $29, $49 or $79, 50% off list with the code GHOST50. Futures Shade and Phantom add a one-time $149 activation fee once you pass; Specter has none. Buying more than one? Two evaluations are 55% off each and three or more 60% off each. See the plans page.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days of purchase if you have not placed a trade on that evaluation. Once a trade is placed, the fee is non-refundable. See the refund policy.

Who can sign up?

Adults who pass identity verification and do not live in a restricted jurisdiction, including countries and regions under OFAC sanctions. The full list is in the Terms of Use.

Rules and drawdown

What drawdown does GhostProp use?

Futures plans and perps Shade use end-of-day trailing drawdown: the floor follows your highest close and, on futures, stops at $50,100. Perps Phantom and Specter use a static floor. See drawdown.

Is there a daily loss limit?

Yes, on every ready-made plan. On futures it is half the drawdown ($750 on Shade, $1,000 on Phantom, $1,250 on Specter) and soft: it ends your trading day, not your account. On perps it is 2%, 3% or 4% of the starting balance and hard: reaching it ends the account. Build your own lets you remove it, at a higher price.

Why did my account fail when I was in profit for the day?

The floor is enforced all day, open trades included. If your balance touched the floor at any point, the account failed, even if the trade would have recovered.

Can I trade the news or hold overnight?

News trading is allowed. Futures positions must be flat by 16:50 ET, with nothing held overnight. Perps markets are open 24/7.

How many accounts can I have?

Up to 5 funded accounts at a time. Copy trading across up to 5 of your own accounts is allowed. Hedging across accounts is not.

Payouts

How fast are payouts?

Payouts are on demand. Request any day you are eligible. Identity is verified before your first payout.

When am I eligible for a futures payout?

Any day, once your funded account has profit since your last payout above the withdrawal buffer: the starting balance plus the drawdown plus $100 ($51,600 on Shade, $52,100 on Phantom, $52,600 on Specter). No single day may be above your plan's consistency share of that profit (20% on Shade, 40% on Phantom and Specter). There is no minimum number of trading days or winning days. The minimum request is $250.

How do perps payouts work?

Perps payouts are on demand too. Close your positions so you are flat, and request any day: each payout is the profit made since your last payout, up to the plan's cap ($150 on Shade, $200 on Phantom, $250 on Specter), with no buffer. You keep 80%. No single day may be above the plan's consistency share of that profit. Up to 3 payouts per account and $25,000 in total per trader; the minimum is $50.

Where does the money for payouts come from?

From the payout fund. It opens with $100,000 and receives 50% of every purchase, and its balance and every payout go on chain. See The On Chain Firm.

Can a payout be reduced or denied?

Yes, if the request breaks a rule. Every request is reviewed for consistency, short trades and conduct. A request that needs more review may take longer, and you are told why. See payout review.

Platform

Where do I trade?

In the GhostProp trading app at app.ghostprop.com. See the platform page.

Do I pay for market data?

The evaluation fee covers the trading platform and market data. Some exchanges, including CME Group, require you to declare whether you are a professional user; professional users may be charged additional fees or refused.
