Capital Mint Markets' instant-funded account with no evaluation required. Traders receive funded access immediately on purchase and begin trading from day one. The drawdown is trailing, giving room for growth as equity rises.
Mint Direct gives instant funded access without an evaluation phase. There is no profit target and no minimum trading-day requirement before you begin earning, but trailing drawdown and daily loss limits apply from day one.
→ No minimum trading days are required to start trading on Mint Direct.
→ A qualifying trading day is a day where you generate at least 0.25% profit.
→ To qualify for a payout, you must complete 5 qualifying trading days. See Payout Basics below for more details.
Your daily drawdown limit is 4% of your account’s initial balance.
Each day at 5 PM EST, Capital Mint Markets compares your starting day balance and equity (including floating profit/loss). The higher of those two values is used as the reference point for that day’s limit, while the 4% amount is always calculated from the initial balance.
The maximum overall drawdown is 6% of your starting balance. This limit is trailing — it moves upward as the account reaches new equity highs.
The drawdown level moves upward as your equity (balance plus open P/L) reaches new highs. Keeping a buffer above the drawdown level reduces the chance of avoidable breaches.

Mint Vault is Capital Mint Markets’ premium instant funded account built for risk-conscious traders. There is no evaluation. The overall loss is a fixed 8% static drawdown from the starting balance. On a $100,000 account this means your equity must not fall below $92,000 at any point.

How Fixed Drawdown Works
Mint Vault uses an 8% static drawdown model. Your maximum overall loss level is fixed at 8% below your starting balance. On a $100,000 account your equity must not fall below $92,000 at any point. This level does not change for the life of the account.
Overall Loss Limit
The maximum overall loss is 8% of your starting balance. This is a static drawdown — it is fixed from the moment your account opens and does not change.
Example
On a $100,000 account your equity must not fall below $92,000 at any point. This level is fixed for the entire life of the account.
Your daily drawdown limit is a fixed dollar amount calculated once from your initial account balance. On a $100,000 account the daily loss limit is 3% which equals $3,000. This $3,000 amount stays fixed for the life of the account. At 5 PM EST each day, the system stores your equity at that moment. Your breach level for the next trading day is calculated by subtracting $3,000 from that stored equity. If your equity drops below that level at any point during the trading day, your account is breached.
Example
Capital Mint Markets' fastest evaluation path. One phase, one profit target, one clear route to funding. Trailing drawdown model with a 4% daily loss limit, upgradeable to 5% with an add-on.
The Mint Sprint Challenge is a single-stage evaluation built around one clear goal: reach the 10% profit target while staying inside the daily and overall loss limits. Meet the objective without breaking any rules and you qualify for a funded account.
→ The evaluation phase requires at least 5 active trading days.
→ A trading day only counts if you generate at least 0.25% profit on that day.
→ In the funded stage, at least 3 active trading days are required before a payout can be approved.
→ There is no maximum number of trading days and no time limit to complete the phase.
Your daily drawdown limit is 4% of your account's initial balance (5% with the add-on). Each day at 5 PM EST, the higher of your starting day balance and equity is used as the reference point, while the 4% amount is always calculated from the initial balance.
The maximum overall drawdown is 10% of your starting balance. This limit is trailing — it moves upward as the account reaches new equity highs.
No single trade idea may risk more than 2% of the account starting balance at any time. This applies to both the evaluation phase and the funded account.

Mint Precision is Capital Mint Markets’ conservative one-step challenge. The drawdown is static and fixed, it never trails.

Profit Targets
Minimum Active Trading Days
Your daily drawdown limit is a fixed dollar amount calculated once from your initial account balance. On a $100,000 account the daily loss limit is 4% which equals $4,000. This $4,000 amount stays fixed for the life of the account. At 5 PM EST each day, the system stores your equity at that moment. Your breach level for the next trading day is calculated by subtracting $4,000 from that stored equity. If your equity drops below that level at any point during the trading day, your account is breached.
Example
Day 1: Trader makes $2,000. Equity at 5 PM EST = $102,000. The system stores $102,000 as the new starting equity. Breach level for Day 2 = $102,000 − $4,000 = $98,000. The $4,000 daily loss amount does not change — only the breach level updates based on stored equity.

The simulated trading environment in our trading platform is specifically designed for educational and evaluation purposes only.

By no means is this an investment opportunity. You do not deposit any funds with us for investment purposes, and at no point do you risk your own capital while using our trading platform, which is a virtual demo account in a hypothetical trading environment. There are no promises of rewards or returns. The maximum amount a customer will pay by participating in a programme is the price of that account; this fee is not a deposit or investment. The fee goes towards the administration costs of operating the simulated environment, our staffing costs, and the accrual of capital to service payouts to successful traders.
Hypothetical and/or simulated performance results have fundamental limitations as they do not represent real trading conditions. Moreover, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact of any market factors, such as lack of liquidity, slippage during volatile market conditions, weekend or holiday gaps, and swap/rollover charges. We do not make any representation that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown in hypothetical results.
Trader Accounts aim to simulate trading that can be closely aligned, including commissions, spreads, and swap charges. However, the evaluation is challenging and may not be suitable for individuals with limited or no trading experience.

Most applicants do not pass on their first attempt, and there is no guarantee that your performance will improve or that you will pass any future evaluations. Prospective traders should purchase an evaluation only if they are confident in their trading ability and accept the risk of not qualifying for a simulated funded account.
