IQ Capital Review & Live Pricing (November 2026)
No minimum trading days on Core, a 90% split once funded and an end-of-day trailing drawdownRapid cuts the split to 80% in exchange for daily payouts (every 3 days is a futures-only option), capped at five withdrawals per account. The weak spot is paperwork: IQ Capital's own pages disagree on ten points, and its imprint names a Saint Lucia entity while its FAQ says UAE.

Editorial review
Our read on IQ Capital: what works, what to watch, and who it suits.
By the PropTraderCheck Research Desk. Data checked 9 November 2026. Corrections
Overview
IQ Capital runs 2 lines, futures and CFD plus crypto, across 3 plan families: Core, Rapid and Instant Funding. Core sets 0 minimum trading days and pays a 90% profit split once funded. Every active account in our data uses an end of day trailing drawdown on balance. Futures Core comes in 2 versions, Core (Daily Loss) and Core (Position Loss), and futures Rapid splits into Rapid (Daily Payout) and Rapid (3-Day Payout). CFD buyers choose between Core, Instant Funding and Rapid (Daily Payout) CFD+Crypto.
Cost to pass
Read the rest of the reviewShow less
Core charges an evaluation fee, then a one time funded fee after you pass, and our program notes list a recurring monthly fee on funded Core accounts. Rapid waives the funded activation fee on futures. Instant Funding skips the evaluation but charges an upfront price plus a monthly renewal. Resets run at about 20% of the list entry fee on Core and Rapid and about 17% on Instant Funding. The live price card above shows current amounts.
Rule gotchas
- Core (Position Loss) caps the open loss on any single position at 1% in evaluation and 0.5% once funded.
- Core (Daily Loss) adds a soft daily loss limit on top of the trailing drawdown.
- Core sets no evaluation consistency rule, but a 30% consistency gate applies before funded payouts.
- Rapid applies a 40% consistency rule in evaluation and a 3 trading day minimum on futures; Rapid (3-Day Payout) keeps the 40% rule once funded, while Rapid (Daily Payout) drops it. Check the funded daily loss terms on either path before buying.
- Futures contract caps scale with size, from 5 minis or 50 micros up to 10 minis or 100 micros.
Payout mechanics
Core and Instant Funding pay 90% to the trader, with the first payout after 10 active days. Rapid pays 80% from the first profit, daily or every 3 days on futures and daily on CFD plus crypto. Each Rapid request can withdraw at most 50% of total profits, every payout after the first needs at least 50% new profit since the last one, and the account closes after the 5th payout. After the first Rapid payout, the end of day drawdown locks at the starting balance for good. Rapid pays in USDC on ERC 20 or by bank transfer.
What changed recently
- 22 Sep 2026: IQ Capital split futures Core into Daily Loss and Position Loss versions; Position Loss caps each trade at 1%.
- 22 Sep 2026: Futures Rapid buyers now pick a daily or 3 day funded payout path at an 80/20 split, and every Rapid account closes after 5 payouts.
Who it fits
Core suits futures and CFD traders who want no minimum days and a 90% split, and who accept funded fees plus a 30% payout consistency gate. Rapid fits traders who value frequent withdrawals over split size and long account life, since 5 payouts end the account.
