Your funded trading challenge just got a whole lot simpler.

Until now, taking a Fondeo challenge meant connecting to an external exchange, setting up API keys, and navigating between platforms before you could place your first trade. That friction ends today.

We're launching Fondeo Terminal — a built-in trading platform that lets you go from purchasing a challenge to executing your first trade in seconds, not minutes.

Fondeo Terminal — professional-grade trading interface with TradingView charts, real-time order book, and one-click execution

This is the Fondeo Terminal. Professional-grade charting powered by TradingView, a real-time order book with full market depth, live trade feeds, open positions at a glance, and a clean order panel — all running inside Fondeo. No exchange accounts. No API keys. No configuration headaches.

How It Works

Getting started takes three steps. Literally.

Step 1 — Create your challenge

Choose your trading capital (starting from 5,000 USDT) and your program type. The Two-Step Program gives you a structured path: 10% profit target in Phase 1, 5% in Phase 2, and a 90% profit split once you're funded.

Challenge setup — select your trading capital and program type

Step 2 — Select Fondeo Terminal as your platform

When prompted to choose your trading platform, you'll see Terminal alongside Bybit and Cleo (coming soon). Pick the one that fits your style. Want the fastest, most seamless experience? Terminal is waiting.

Platform selection — choose between Fondeo Terminal, Bybit, or Cleo

Step 3 — Activate and trade

Hit "Activate Challenge" and you're done. Your challenge is activated instantly, Fondeo Terminal opens in a new tab, and you start trading right away — zero setup required. No external account needed, no API configuration, nothing standing between you and the charts.

Activation confirmation — one click to activate and open the Terminal

Why We Built This

We listened to our community. The number one piece of feedback we received was that connecting external exchanges was slowing traders down. Some users ran into API permission issues, others found the connection process confusing, and many simply wanted a faster path to trading.

Fondeo Terminal eliminates all of that. It's our answer to a simple question: what if you could start trading the moment you're ready?

What You Get

  • Professional charting — Full TradingView integration with all the indicators and drawing tools you're used to.
  • Real-time order book and trade feed — See market depth and live trades as they happen.
  • Flexible order types — Market, limit, and advanced orders with adjustable leverage (up to 100x).
  • Take profit & stop loss — Built-in risk management tools directly in the order panel.
  • Instant activation — No waiting for API syncs or exchange verification.
  • Positions and order history — Track open positions, pending orders, fills, and funding payments all in one place.

Same Challenge Rules, Simpler Experience

Nothing changes about how our challenges work. The profit targets, drawdown limits, and payout structure are identical whether you trade on Terminal, Bybit, or any other supported platform. The only thing that changes is how fast you can get started.

Simulated monthly earnings on a 5,000 USDT account still range from 450 USDT (conservative) to 1,350 USDT (aggressive), with the same 90% profit split.

Choose Your Platform

Fondeo Terminal launches in beta alongside our existing Bybit integration, with Cleo coming soon. When you create a new challenge, you'll see all available platforms and can pick the one that fits your trading style.

Prefer a familiar exchange interface? Bybit is still right there. Want the fastest, most seamless experience? Fondeo Terminal is waiting.

Start Trading Now

Fondeo Terminal is available today for all new challenges. Head to fondeo.xyz, create a challenge, select Terminal, and place your first trade in under 60 seconds.

The barrier between you and your funded trading account just disappeared.


Fondeo Terminal is currently in beta. We're actively improving the platform based on trader feedback. Have suggestions? Reach out to our team through the in-app chat or on our social channels.
