True Forex Funds closed permanently in May 2024. The firm announced insolvency after MetaQuotes withdrew its MetaTrader licence earlier that year, and its website now shows only a closure notice. If you held an evaluation or funded account there, no new challenges can be bought and no further payouts are being processed. This page stays online because traders still search for it; the calculator above still works, and the rest of the page explains how to carry a True Forex Funds sizing plan over to a firm that is operating.
What True Forex Funds' rules looked like
For traders migrating a plan, this is the rule set most True Forex Funds accounts used before closure:
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Profit target | 8% Phase 1, 5% Phase 2 |
| Maximum daily loss | 5% |
| Maximum loss | 10% |
| Drawdown type | Balance-based |
That is the same 5% / 10% structure used by FTMO, FundedNext Stellar and Funding Pips' 2-Step Standard, so a sizing model built for True Forex Funds transfers directly to any of those.
The same formula, a different firm
Lot size = (Account balance × Risk %) ÷ (Stop loss in pips × Pip value per lot)Example: $100,000 account, 1% risk, 20-pip stop on EUR/USD → $1,000 ÷ (20 × $10) = 5.00 lots. At 0.5% risk, 2.5 lots. At a 40-pip stop, half of each.
With 5% daily and 10% maximum limits, 1% per trade allows five losses in a day and ten in total; 0.5% doubles both. That arithmetic is identical at every 5/10 firm.
Where to take a 5% / 10% sizing plan
- FTMO — 5% daily, 10% maximum, 10% then 5% targets, no time limit.
- FundedNext — 5% daily, 10% static maximum, so banked profit widens the buffer.
- Funding Pips — 2-Step Standard is 5% / 10%; other programs are tighter.
- The5ers — tighter 3% / 6% on Hyper Growth; halve your risk per trade if you move there.
What the closure taught prop-firm traders
True Forex Funds was one of the larger firms of its era, and it failed with hundreds of payouts outstanding. The lesson is not about sizing but about counterparty risk: an evaluation fee is money at risk, a funded balance is not your money, and a firm's own solvency is a variable in your plan. Spread evaluations across firms, withdraw profits on schedule, and keep your own record of every trade — a journal you control outlives any dashboard a firm controls.
