Velo Trade Review: Rules, Profit Split & Payouts
Velotrade is a multi-asset prop firm that puts crypto, forex, stocks, indices and commodities on a single DXtrade funded account, with 234 instruments listed. It sells three challenges: CLASSIC 2-Step, CLASSIC 1-Step and PRO 1-Step, with account sizes from $5,000 to $200,000; only PRO 1-Step reaches $200,000. Velotrade pitches a static drawdown on every plan, no consistency rule, no time limit and full REST and WebSocket API access for EAs and bots at no extra fee. The prop business is run by Velotrade Re Limited from Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.
The Velotrade rules differ mainly in drawdown. CLASSIC 2-Step asks for a 10% profit target in phase 1 and 5% in phase 2, with a 5% daily loss limit and 10% maximum drawdown. CLASSIC 1-Step sets a 10% target with 4% daily and 7% maximum, and PRO 1-Step a 10% target with 3% daily and 3% maximum. The daily loss limit is recalculated from balance at 00:30 UTC. Every phase needs 5 qualifying trading days, and a day only counts when it closes with realised profit of 0.8% or more of the starting balance. News trading and weekend holding are allowed, but single stocks must be closed 24 hours before earnings and ex-dividend dates. Martingale, HFT and hedging across accounts are prohibited, and copy trading is allowed only between your own accounts. Combined funded capital is capped at $200,000.
The standard profit split is 80%, or 90% with a checkout add-on. The first payout can be requested 14 calendar days after the first funded trade, once the qualifying days are done, and then weekly. Velotrade pays in USDC or USDT within 24 hours of approval, with a USD 100 minimum. Challenges run from $40 for a $5,000 PRO 1-Step to $1,114 for the $200,000 account. Fees are non-refundable once the platform has been accessed, and challenges cannot be reset.

Velo Trade web traffic, month by month
Prop Firm Pal has tracked Velo Trade's website traffic every month since January 2026. In August 2026 the site received an estimated 127.97K visits, down 18% on the month before and down 50% over three months.
Its busiest month on record was May 2026 at roughly 258.39K visits. Traffic now is 50% below that peak.
A fall of this size over a quarter is the pattern that most often precedes a firm winding down, though it is not proof of it on its own — marketing spend, seasonality and a single lost traffic source all produce the same shape. It is worth weighing before paying for an evaluation.
These are third-party estimates of website visits, collected once a month and stored against the month they describe. They are not trader counts, funded-account numbers or revenue.

How Velo Trade compares in size
Measured on estimated monthly website visits for August 2026, Velo Trade ranks 86 of the 477 prop firms Prop Firm Pal tracks — larger than 82% of them, at roughly 127.97K visits a month.
The ranking covers every firm measured between June 2026 and August 2026, each on its own latest reading in that window. Firms last measured before June 2026 are left out rather than shown with a stale figure, so the total moves month to month.
Size is not quality. A large firm is one that markets successfully, and several of the most visited firms in this ranking have the strictest rules; some of the smallest pay out reliably to everyone who asks. What the ranking is useful for is scale — whether you are looking at an established operation or something very new.
