What is FairTicks

FairTicks is a simulated trading evaluation platform built around clear rules, visible risk, and structured performance assessment. Traders use Training accounts to prove they can trade inside a defined framework. If the Training account passes and Live generation is processed, the trader can receive a Live / Straight account with profit-sharing eligibility.

The framework in one paragraph

FairTicks operates within a simulated trading and evaluation framework. Market prices are displayed from market data feeds, but trades are executed inside the FairTicks simulated environment. No actual securities are bought or sold by traders on FairTicks.

The platform evaluates how traders perform under account rules such as risk limits, contracts, exposure, stop-loss requirements, valid trading activity, and payout eligibility conditions.

What FairTicks is — and what it is not

The main FairTicks account stages

FairTicks separates the trader journey into clear stages. These stages are related, but they are not the same.

The trader journey

A typical FairTicks journey works like this:

1. Choose an account model — Rapid, Classic, or Discipline / Precision.
2. Receive a Training account — simulated capital, predefined rules, contracts, and duration.
3. Trade inside the rules — respect active risk limits, exposure, contracts, and stop-loss rules where required.
4. Reach the Training pass conditions — such as required target, minimum trading days, no hard breach, and account lifecycle eligibility.
5. Training account becomes PASSED if all Training pass conditions are satisfied.
6. Live generation is processed if the account is eligible.
7. Live / Straight account starts with its own Live-stage history and payout eligibility checks.
8. Payout can be requested only when the Live / Straight payout checklist is complete.

See the full Evaluation process article for a step-by-step walkthrough.

The three account models

FairTicks uses different account models for different trader profiles. Choose the model that matches how you actually trade under pressure.

Core FairTicks concepts

Simulated accounts

FairTicks accounts use simulated capital and simulated trading execution. Account performance, profit, loss, breaches, and payout eligibility are calculated inside the FairTicks system.

No user leverage

FairTicks does not let traders choose leverage. Position size is controlled through account rules, contracts, exposure limits, and risk checks.

Contracts-based position sizing

FairTicks uses NANO, MICRO, and MINI contracts to structure position size. Contracts define simulated tick value and help traders understand how each tick affects the position.

See the Contracts System article for the full breakdown.

Official FairTicks PnL

FairTicks uses the PnL calculated and recorded inside the FairTicks platform. External charts can help you understand market context, but the FairTicks dashboard and position history remain the official account reference.

See Official FairTicks PnL for more details.

Visible risk floors

Your dashboard can show important account values such as live equity, Daily Loss floor, Max Loss floor, Trailing Drawdown floor, remaining buffer, open PnL, and near-breach status.

Near-breach warnings

FairTicks can warn you when your account approaches active risk floors. Warning levels help you understand risk before a hard breach happens.

Protection Pause

Depending on your Trader Settings, a Critical near-breach state can trigger Protection Pause. During Protection Pause, new exposure can be temporarily blocked while closing existing positions remains available.

Live / Straight payout checklist

Payout eligibility is checked separately from Training pass and Live generation. A Live / Straight account may need minimum funded days, minimum trading days, NP Score, consistency, eligible profit, no pending payout, no open positions, KYC approval, valid wallet, and valid split configuration before payout can be requested.

What makes FairTicks different?

FairTicks is built around clarity, discipline, and account-state visibility. The platform is designed so traders can understand what is happening before, during, and after important account events.

1. Risk is shown before it becomes failure

FairTicks can show near-breach warnings when an account approaches active risk limits. These warnings help traders see risk before a hard breach floor is reached.

2. Contracts replace confusing leverage

Instead of letting traders choose arbitrary leverage, FairTicks uses contracts and exposure rules. This makes position size easier to understand and easier to connect with tick movement.

3. Rules are tied to the account

Your account has its own rules and configuration. Public offers and future account templates can change, but your account dashboard remains the source of truth for the rules that apply to your account.

4. Live is a new stage, not an instant payout

Receiving a Live / Straight account does not automatically mean payout is available. Payout is earned later through Live / Straight eligibility checks.

5. Trader actions are validated before execution

FairTicks can block trades before they open if they violate rules such as Stop Loss requirements, max exposure, contracts availability, account status, market availability, or protection status.

What FairTicks evaluates

FairTicks does not evaluate only whether the account makes profit. The platform evaluates whether the trader can perform inside a structured framework.

Who FairTicks is for

• Traders who want to prove performance inside a structured simulated environment.
• Traders who want clear account rules and visible risk metrics.
• Traders who understand that risk rules are part of the evaluation.
• Traders who want a path from Training to Live / Straight account progression.
• Traders who prefer transparent account states over unclear pass/fail logic.

Who FairTicks is not for

• Traders looking for a broker or real exchange account.
• Traders looking for guaranteed income or guaranteed payout.
• Traders who want unlimited leverage or unlimited exposure.
• Traders who want to ignore Daily Loss, Max Loss, Trailing Drawdown, or payout eligibility conditions.
• Traders who expect one profitable day to automatically unlock payout.

Common questions

“Is FairTicks real trading?”

FairTicks is a simulated trading evaluation platform. Trades are executed inside the FairTicks simulated environment, not as real brokerage orders on an exchange.

“Can I earn payouts?”

Payouts can become available on eligible Live / Straight accounts after all payout conditions are satisfied. Payout is not guaranteed simply because a trader bought an account, passed Training, or generated Live.

“Does passing Training mean I can request payout immediately?”

No. Passing Training is separate from Live generation and payout eligibility. Payout is checked later on the Live / Straight account.

“Do Live accounts still have risk rules?”

Yes. Live / Straight accounts still follow active rules such as Daily Loss, Max Loss, Trailing Drawdown, exposure, Stop Loss where required, and other account-specific limits.

“Can FairTicks change public offers later?”

FairTicks can update future offers, market listings, templates, and public product configurations. For your existing account, the dashboard and account rules shown in the platform are the official reference.

“What is the official source for account status?”

The FairTicks dashboard, account timeline, position history, and payout page are the official account references.

“Why use contracts instead of leverage?”

Contracts make simulated tick value and position sizing easier to understand. They help traders see how each tick affects the position before opening a trade.

“What happens if I breach?”

If a hard risk rule is breached, the account moves to BREACHED, trading is disabled, and open positions are closed through the official breach process. Reset may be available only if the account is eligible.

Summary

FairTicks is a simulated trading evaluation platform. It gives traders Training accounts with clear rules, visible risk, and structured progression. If a Training account passes and Live generation is processed, the trader can receive a Live / Straight account. Payout becomes available only when the Live / Straight payout checklist is complete.

The most important rule is simple: FairTicks evaluates performance inside a simulated, rules-based framework — and your dashboard is the official source of truth.
