Questions, answered

Syze is a simulated trading-challenge platform. You purchase a challenge, trade a simulated account under published rules, and if you pass you unlock Syze — a larger simulated funded account whose eligible profits can qualify for reviewed payouts.

No. Every Syze account is simulated end to end. No orders are routed to any exchange or venue, there is no live order, and you never own a position. Fills, P&L, fees, and funding are simulated internally against live reference prices.

No. You pay a one-time challenge fee — it is not a deposit, and the simulated account size is never money transferred to you.

No. The only money that changes hands is the one-time fee you pay at checkout and any payouts we send you. We never hold a balance on your behalf.

No. The fee is the most you can ever lose. Nothing that happens inside the simulated account can cost you more.

No. Syze is a challenge platform, not a course. Every rule is published before you pay, and the $5 starter is the cheapest way to practice the entire loop — including a real reviewed payout — before committing to a full size.

From challenge fees — that's the whole model, and we publish it. Payouts to funded traders are a planned cost of the business, not a fight. We don't earn spreads, commissions, or anything from your losses beyond the flat fee you already paid.

An honest answer: no platform can promise forever. What we can do is keep your exposure small and fast — one flat fee instead of a subscription, payouts from $50 reviewed within 48 hours so profit never sits with us for long, and a $5 way to test the whole loop before spending anything real.

No credential is required, and the platform is deliberately simple — market orders, fixed leverage, three rules. But reaching +9% without touching a 3% limit takes genuine trading skill, and most attempts fail. Nothing here is easy money.

No. The rules are identical in both phases, which keeps the challenge honest — but past simulated performance never guarantees future results, in either phase.

No. Payouts are performance-based contractual compensation on eligible simulated profits, subject to rules and review. They are not a salary, and you should never depend on them to cover living expenses.

Reach the +9% profit target without breaching any rule. Touch it once — intraday and unrealized both count — and you pass. The target is the same +9% at every paid size, with or without the add-on; the add-on changes only your profit split. (The $5 starter's target is +3%.)

There is no time limit, no minimum trading days, and no inactivity rule — the account waits for you. Nothing closes an account except a rule breach.

Honestly: most traders don't. +9% inside 3% loss limits demands discipline and edge. We publish the rules up front so you can judge the odds before paying — and the fee is the whole risk if you don't make it.

Two steps: sign the funded trader agreement and complete a one-time identity check. Your simulated funded account then activates with the same rules, and eligible profits can qualify for payouts.

The account closes and nothing more is owed — the fee was the whole risk. A first-ever challenge that fails within 72 hours earns one free retry of the same plan, whether or not you signed up with a referral code (the $5 starter is excluded). Otherwise, start a new challenge whenever you're ready.

One active account at a time. When your current challenge or funded account finishes, you can start the next one.

No — the size and rules are locked at purchase. Finish the account you have (pass it or breach it), then start the next challenge at any size. Any referral reward you have earned can be redeemed then.

No. Payouts only exist in the funded phase. The challenge account balance is simulated capital, not money owed to you.

Yes. There are no overnight or weekend restrictions. Crypto markets run 24/7; stocks and commodities follow their underlying market hours.

The entire Syze loop in miniature: a $500 simulated challenge with the same 3% daily and 3% max loss limits as every other size, but a +3% (+$15) profit target instead of +9%. Pass it and the starter unlocks a capped funded phase — a real reviewed payout of up to $100 total (minimum request $25, up to 4 requests). It exists to show you the whole process end to end, not to test your edge. It earns no points, and it is not covered by first-try protection.

Three numbers, the same proportion in every paid size: +9% profit target, 3% maximum daily loss, 3% max loss limit. On a $25K account that's a +$2,250 target, a $750/day limit, and a $24,250 equity floor. The add-on does not change any of them — it only raises your profit split to 90%. The daily limit is measured against the prior day's balance and resets at 00:30 UTC; the max loss limit is fixed at your starting balance on day one and never trails your profits.

Static, always. The floor is set at 3% below your starting balance on day one and never moves — it does not trail your profits, so gains are never something you can "give back" into a breach.

Your equity may not fall more than 3% below your prior-day balance in a single trading day. Open losses count. The daily window resets at 00:30 UTC.

The account closes instantly and automatically — no warnings, no partial penalties. In the challenge your total loss stays the fee; in the funded phase the account ends the same way, and every payout already made is yours to keep.

A short, published list: account sharing, third-party trading, copy or coordinated trading, cross-account hedging, self-trading, latency or stale-price exploitation, platform-bug exploitation, and identity, location, or eligibility misrepresentation. The full list with definitions is on the prohibited-conduct page. If it isn't on the list, it isn't a violation.

Hedging across multiple accounts and copy trading other users are prohibited — they manufacture guaranteed outcomes rather than demonstrate edge. Hedging within your own single account (e.g., reducing exposure) is fine.

Minimum order is $100 notional. Maximum position size is set by your account size and the fixed leverage on each market — there is no separate cap to memorize.

Yes. Scalping, news trading, and overnight and weekend holds are all allowed. There are no news blackouts, no restricted trading windows, and no consistency rule. The only trading restrictions are the published prohibited-conduct list and the three rule numbers.

A simulated taker fee of 4 basis points per side, mirroring real trading costs. No platform subscription, no per-trade commissions, no data fees.

No. The rules you purchase are the rules you're judged by — locked at purchase. Any changes apply to new purchases only.

Crypto, stocks, indices, and commodities in one account — 36 markets across four asset classes. Crypto includes BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP and HYPE; equities include NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, MSFT, AMZN and META; plus the S&P 500 and XYZ 100 indices and gold, silver, copper, WTI and Brent. The full list is the market rail in the trading terminal.

Fixed and low by design: 5× on BTC, ETH, and the major index markets; 2× on everything else. There is no leverage slider and no margin math to learn — leverage is not trader-selected at launch.

Market orders, with optional take-profit and stop-loss levels you can attach at entry or set on an open position. Reduce-only orders and close-all are supported too. Limit and stop entries are not offered at launch.

Crypto trades 24/7. Stocks, indices, and commodities follow their underlying market hours. The daily loss window resets at 00:30 UTC regardless of market.

Live reference data from Hyperliquid. Your fills are simulated internally against those marks — reference data only, no orders are routed anywhere.

The Syze web app is mobile-first — the dashboard and terminal are built for your phone's browser. There is no native app store download at launch.

Debit card, ACH bank transfer, and USDC stablecoin at launch. Credit cards are not accepted initially.

No — every purchase is final, and this is disclosed before you pay. What we offer instead is first-try protection: a first-ever challenge that fails within 72 hours earns one free retry of the same plan ($5 starter excluded).

There is no discount code. What exists is the referral programme: sign up with a friend's code and, once your first challenge settles, a reward can be earned on both sides — a free simulated challenge credit, an account you still have to pass, never cash. The reward is sized by what you buy, and the smallest sizes earn the referred trader nothing; the exact table is on your referrals page.

To protect funded-phase access and payouts — we verify identity and screen for sanctions and restricted jurisdictions before a funded account activates.

Only after you pass your challenge, as part of funded setup. Nothing is verified before or during the challenge — fail and KYC never happens.

Your funded account can't activate until it's resolved. Contact support with your case details — most rejections are document-quality or name-mismatch issues that a resubmission fixes. Deliberate misrepresentation permanently voids eligibility.

Sanctioned and restricted jurisdictions (for example Iran, North Korea, Russia) cannot use Syze. Eligibility is checked at signup and again at KYC.

Not to mask your location. VPNs cannot be used to bypass country restrictions or misrepresent where you are — doing so closes the account and voids payout eligibility.

18. You must be 18 or older to use any Syze service.

The contract governing funded-phase access: your profit split, payout eligibility, prohibited conduct, and termination rights. You sign it once, after passing, before the funded account activates.

Any time in the funded phase once you have at least $50 of eligible profit and no open positions. There is no payout calendar, no first-payout waiting period, and no minimum trading days. (The $5 starter's floor is $25.)

A person reviews every request within 48 hours. Approved payouts are then sent to your linked payout wallet.

Once a request is approved it is sent to the payout wallet you linked during funded setup. We don't publish a settlement-time promise for the transfer itself, because that part is outside our control.

One: the payout wallet you link during funded setup. Every approved payout for the account goes there, so there is nothing to choose at request time.

You keep 80% of eligible profits standard, or 90% with the bundle add-on purchased at checkout.

No. Payouts are contractual compensation based on eligible simulated profits, subject to the funded trader agreement, platform rules, and compliance review. They are not deposits, not insured, and never guaranteed.

Only for the specific, published, evidence-based reasons: a rule breach, prohibited trading, incomplete KYC, a missing agreement or payout wallet, open positions, an active risk review, or a request below the minimum or above your eligible profit — never for unstated ones.

Yes — plan for it. A payout reduces your account balance while the 3% floors stay anchored to your starting balance and prior-day balance, so your remaining cushion shrinks after each payout.

Payouts already approved are yours to keep. A breach closes the account to further payout requests — the breach itself is a payout gate, so nothing new can be requested against it.

No — one active account at a time. Pass a new challenge after your funded account ends to earn another.

Payouts are contractual compensation and are generally taxable income in your jurisdiction. Syze doesn't withhold taxes — you're responsible for reporting. Consult a tax professional.

You earn 20 points per $1 you spend on challenges and add-ons, and 10 points per $1 spent by anyone you refer — for as long as they keep buying. Signing up with a referral code earns a 250-point welcome bonus, posted with your first purchase. Points are pending at purchase and confirm once the payment settles. They never expire, they have no cash value, and they are not transferable. The $5 starter earns nothing, for anyone.

Free simulated challenges: 3,500 points for a $5K, 6,500 for a $10K, and 12,500 for a $25K. Redeeming mints the challenge directly — there is nothing to pay, and you still have to pass it. Your balance and ledger are on your points page.

Share your referral link. When someone who signs up with it settles their first challenge purchase, a reward is earned — a free simulated challenge credit, never cash, and an account you still have to pass. Rewards are sized by what they bought, and the two smallest sizes earn the referred trader nothing; the exact table is on your referrals page.

Whenever you don't have an active account — one active account at a time, so redemption waits until your current challenge or funded account finishes. Redeeming mints the reward challenge directly; there is nothing to pay.

Yes. A free $5K challenge is capped at one per user for life. First-try protection applies to your first-ever challenge whether or not you used a referral code — but only if it is your first purchase, and never on the $5 starter. Self-referral and duplicate-account signals void a reward.
