Astra Capital Funding offers a unique platform for forex and financial traders. With transparent rules and no hidden clauses, traders have the freedom to utilize their strategies, including using Expert Advisors (EAs), holding positions during news events, and trading over weekends. However, certain exploitative trading activities are strictly prohibited.
The firm supports continuous learning by sponsoring the top three traders each month for an online course at Harvard Business School. Additionally, Astra Capital Funding provides free educational resources through their Discord server, helping traders enhance their skills before taking on their simulated challenge.
Traders can stay updated with real-time events using the Economic Calendar, and the Astra Capital Funding app offers convenient access on both mobile and PC devices. The firm allows trading in various instruments, including Forex, Crypto, Indices, Metals, and Energies, with leverage limits specific to each asset class.
Astra Capital Funding emphasizes fair trading practices. Profits from trades opened within a narrow window around high-impact news events are not counted, and trades exploiting MetaTrader's inefficiencies are forbidden. Copy trading and account management by third parties are also prohibited.
Traders can participate in multiple challenges with a combined funded capital limit of $600,000. The firm offers a structured evaluation process with defined profit targets and loss limits. Successful traders can request payouts easily through their dashboard, with payments processed within 24 hours.
