Swing Trading On A Funded Account
Swing Trading means holding positions for several days to capture larger moves. On a funded account you can run it with up to $400K of firm capital and keep up to 100% of the profits.
Is Swing Trading allowed on a funded account?
Yes. Swing Trading is allowed at GET FUNDED as long as you stay inside the risk rules. The setup that works best needs wider stops, patience and accounts that allow overnight and weekend holding.
Overnight gaps are the main hazard, so swing traders size down and lean on the maximum drawdown buffer.
How to pass the evaluation with Swing Trading
Run swing trading at a small, fixed risk per trade and protect the 4% daily loss limit above all else. Bank the profit target in steady pieces rather than forcing it, and walk away once you've hit your daily goal.
The traders who pass are rarely the flashiest; they're the ones who never breach the daily limit.
Choosing an account size for Swing Trading
Match the account to how swing trading uses risk. If your style needs room to breathe, a larger account gives a bigger drawdown buffer; if you trade small and often, a smaller account keeps the fee low while you build a payout history.
