Terms and conditions
Last updated 1 October 2026
A clear summary of our website, funded account fees and evaluation assurance. Read this alongside the written service agreement provided before engagement.
Understanding the service
US Index Capital focuses on Nasdaq 100 trading, FTMO evaluation management and selected private capital mandates. A consultation or website enquiry does not itself establish an investment or management agreement. Services, suitability, eligibility and responsibilities must be agreed in writing before work begins.
FTMO operates independently. Its prevailing terms, account rules and permitted activity apply at all times. No statement on this website overrides those rules or constitutes approval by FTMO.
Fees and payment order
- Evaluation fee: 1% of the target funded account balance, payable upfront. The minimum evaluation size presented is $50,000, giving an evaluation fee of $500.
- Provider payout: FTMO applies the reward split applicable to the client’s programme. The illustrations on this website use a 90% provider payout assumption.
- Monthly management fee: a separate 1% of each funded account’s nominal balance, payable only after the client receives a profitable provider payout for that month.
- No profitable payout: no monthly management fee is due for that month. This condition does not remove the separate upfront evaluation fee.
- 0% profit share: US Index Capital does not take a percentage of the provider payout. The separate account based management fee still applies when its conditions are met.
Examples are in USD. Any provider charges and the agreed payment arrangements are confirmed before engagement. Private mandates have separately agreed terms.
Two attempts. A clearly defined assurance.
If the first eligible evaluation attempt is unsuccessful, we purchase one replacement challenge from our own capital and make a second attempt, with no additional challenge cost to the client.
If both eligible evaluation attempts are unsuccessful, we refund the client’s original 1% evaluation fee in full and additionally pay a further 1% of the target funded account balance as an inconvenience payment. The client therefore receives a total amount equivalent to 2% of the target funded account balance, subject to the written terms and conditions.
| Target account | Fee refund | Additional payment | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | $500 | $500 | $1,000 |
| $100,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 | $2,000 |
| $200,000 | $2,000 | $2,000 | $4,000 |
| $300,000 | $3,000 | $3,000 | $6,000 |
| $400,000 | $4,000 | $4,000 | $8,000 |
Eligibility includes allowing our team to manage all trading activity during both attempts. Independent client trades or conduct that materially compromises the account may invalidate the assurance under the agreed terms. The qualifying account, evidence, eligibility conditions and payment process must be recorded in the written agreement before the first attempt.
This commitment concerns the evaluation service only. It is not a promise of trading profits, successful funding or protection against trading losses.
Risk, illustrations and scaling
Trading can produce losses and drawdown. The 4% to 8% monthly figures and the payout and compounding examples are illustrations, not a personal forecast or a guaranteed outcome. Prior performance does not assure future results.
Funded account programmes use simulated trading capital. The $400,000 standard FTMO allocation framework and potential progression towards $2 million through provider scaling depend on the relevant rules, performance, eligibility and approval. Continued engagement does not guarantee allocation growth or a timeframe.
Information on this website is not personal investment advice or an offer of securities. Consider the relevant risks and written documentation before deciding to proceed.
Ending a service and resolving questions
The service is presented without a minimum lock in period, subject to agreed notice, provider requirements and the applicable account terms. Consult the written agreement for the steps and obligations involved in ending a mandate.
For questions about fees, eligibility or the evaluation assurance, contact our team before paying or opening an account. Nothing in this summary is intended to remove rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
