Frequently Asked Questions
How fast are payouts processed at FundedHive?
FundedHive processes all payouts via its Smart Hive Contract on the blockchain. Once a withdrawal is requested, the contract automatically processes and sends the payment within 60 seconds – no manual approval or team review required. All transactions are publicly recorded on the blockchain and independently verifiable.
What is the Pay From Profits model?
The Pay From Profits model allows traders to enter an evaluation phase with just a small access fee instead of the full challenge price. Once the evaluation phase(s) are passed, the funded account is activated at 80% profit split. The funded account fee is based on the risk category assigned during evaluation – Low and Moderate risk traders pay 100% of this fee from future profits, meaning zero upfront cost beyond the initial access fee.
Are all FundedHive accounts swap-free?
Yes. Every FundedHive account – both evaluation and funded – is 100% swap-free. There are no overnight financing charges on any instrument regardless of how long a position is held. This makes FundedHive particularly suited for swing traders and position traders who regularly hold trades overnight or over weekends.
How are drawdowns calculated?
All FundedHive drawdowns are balance-based and static. The 5% maximum daily loss and 10% maximum overall loss are always calculated from the starting account balance, not from peak equity. This means the drawdown floor never moves upward as profits accumulate – on a $50,000 account, the maximum overall loss is always $5,000 from the very first day to the last.
Is cTrader the only supported platform?
Yes, FundedHive exclusively supports cTrader. It is a professional-grade platform known for advanced charting, Level II pricing, and superior execution quality. Expert Advisors are fully supported on cTrader, allowing automated trading strategies that comply with all applicable trading rules.
