  1. Accounts

    New prices and rules: bigger accounts cost less, payouts every day

    A price ladder with lower prices on bigger accounts, daily payouts on Flex and Sprint, no minimum trading days, and Sprint as our premium program.

    Every program has new prices and rules from today. Accounts you already have keep the rules they were bought on; the app shows which rules each account runs on.

    Prices move along a ladder, so bigger accounts cost less per dollar: $100K is $380 on Flex, $680 on Sprint and $1,500 on Instant. Launchpad is still $5 to start, with a 1.25% unlock fee once you pass.

    Flex: 9% target, 6% max drawdown, 3% daily. Sprint is now the premium program: 8% target, 7% / 4% and a 90% profit split included.

    No minimum trading days on any program.

    Payouts every day on Flex and Sprint after one green day. Ask for any amount from $50 up to what is available, once per trading day.

    The trading day now runs from 17:00 to 17:00 New York time for every account. The daily loss limit is a share of your starting balance from your equity at 17:00.

    After your first paid payout, the max drawdown floor moves up to your starting balance.

    Weekend holding and news trading are allowed for everyone. The Backed Protector looks after Instant and Launchpad funded accounts from the third payout.

    Add-ons: 90% profit split (+20%) and No daily drawdown (+35%).

  2. Accounts

    Funded Trader Agreement and identity check

    Sign your agreement in Contracts before you trade a funded account, and verify your identity once before your first payout.

    When you are funded, the app takes you to Contracts (with a red dot in the menu) to read and sign the Funded Trader Agreement for that account. It takes a couple of minutes, and you can download a signed copy any time.

    Trading on a funded account starts once its agreement is signed. Closing positions always works.

    Before your first payout you verify your identity once, with a photo ID, through our provider Veriff.

    The payout screen now shows exactly what is left to do before you can request.

  3. SocialApp

    Your profile in the sidebar

    Your picture, handle, followers and the date you joined, one click from every page.

    A profile card now sits above Settings in the sidebar, and shrinks to your picture when the sidebar is collapsed. Click it to open your profile.

  4. Predictions

    Faster prediction market orders

    Prediction orders now fill in seconds, and an order can no longer get stuck in Open Orders.

    We fixed a slowdown that could leave a prediction market order waiting in Open Orders. If an order ever cannot be processed, it is now rejected with a clear message instead of waiting.

  5. AccountsAI & API

    Rules book, markets list, help centre and developer docs

    Every rule with the live numbers, every market you can trade, answers to common questions and the full API, all in one place.

    backed.io now has a complete documentation hub, linked from the website header and from Help in the app.

    Rules book: every rule for every account type, with worked examples. The numbers are read live from our rules engine, so the page always matches what your account runs on.

    Markets: every perps and Tradfi market with live prices and our leverage caps, plus the prediction market categories and memecoin launchpads.

    Help centre: searchable answers on accounts, rules, payouts, markets, rewards and AI trading.

    Developers: API keys, limits and every endpoint with copy-paste examples, and how to connect Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT.

  6. Social

    New PnL videos in four sizes

    A cleaner replay with your Net PnL front and centre, a branded background, and sizes for X, Instagram and stories.

    The share video has been rebuilt: your details on the left, a big Net PnL bar, and the real candles of your trade drawing themselves on the right.

    Four sizes to pick from: X / wide 16:9, square, post 4:5 and story 9:16.

    Share any closed trade from Trade History or the PNL tab, not just your latest win.

    Hide dollar amounts with one switch to share percentages only.

  7. Accounts

    Funded reset

    If a funded account ends, you can bring it back for a share of what you paid.

    When a funded account hits a drawdown limit, you can reset it straight away: a fresh funded account of the same size on the same terms, no new evaluation.

    The price is a share of what you paid for the account, shown on the account page and in the email.

    Up to two resets per funded account. The rules book has the current prices.

  8. App

    Notification centre, sounds and celebrations

    Every alert in one place, plus sounds and confetti for the moments that count.

    The bell opens every notification, read and unread, with a full Notifications page. On your phone it sits at the top of the menu.

    Passing, getting funded, levelling up and rewards now arrive with a moment card, a sound and confetti. Turn sounds off in Settings.

    Account and money moments come to your phone and email; trading and Social activity to your phone only. Offer and reward emails can be turned off.
