Overview

Telos Capital sells a one-step evaluation for simulated trading accounts of $10,000, $40,000 and $80,000. The rules are short: a 10% profit target, a 6% maximum absolute drawdown, no time limit, no minimum trading days and 1:10 leverage. Evaluation fees are one-time payments of $250, $800 and $1,400, and the Terms say they are non-refundable.

After passing, traders move through levels that each carry a further 10% target. The firm says profit splits run from 50% on evaluation profits to 60% at Level 1 and 70% from Level 2, and that from Level 2 a trader can either raise the split by 10% per target up to 100% or double the account up to $2,000,000 at 70%. It says two accounts can be run for a total of up to $4,000,000 in simulated funds.

The site states that all accounts, including funded ones, are simulated and that profit-sharing payments come from Telos Holdings Pty Ltd's business revenue. The same site also sells trading education under the Telos Evolve name. This review uses only the firm's own pages.

Programmes and Prices

There is one programme, the 1 Step Evaluation, in three sizes. The Terms list the fees as one-time payments charged at purchase. The homepage shows the $80,000 account with a "$1,400 evaluation fee" and does not present it as a discounted price. The rules are the same for every size. On 11 October 2026 the homepage still showed a "May Enrolment Open" banner next to Get Funded, so check whether applications are currently open before buying.

The fee table does not state a currency.

The Terms say evaluation fees are non-refundable, including for change of mind, failed evaluations, voluntary withdrawal and rule breaches. In the same section, the Terms say the firm pays 50% of the profit made in the evaluation once the trader passes and reaches the 10% target on Level 1 (see Payouts).

Trading Rules

The Terms list the evaluation rules as a 10% profit target, a 6% maximum drawdown, no time limit, no minimum trading days, 1:10 leverage, weekend holding allowed, a 30-day inactivity period and a required stop loss. The homepage FAQ defines the 6% as a fixed level below the starting balance: Stop Out Level = Initial Balance − (6% × Initial Balance). The Terms say the same 6% maximum drawdown applies to simulated funded accounts, and that breaching it ends the account.

Stop loss

Every trade needs a visible stop loss within 60 seconds of entry; "stealth" stop losses are not allowed. The detailed Stop Loss Rule calls a missing stop a soft breach: the system closes the trade after one minute and any profit from it does not count toward the target. The homepage FAQ says that failing to use a stop loss "results in a violation", and the Terms' general rule says any breach ends the account. We have used the more detailed Stop Loss Rule.

Holding and inactivity

The Terms allow overnight and weekend holding on all programmes and at every stage. At least one trade every 30 days is required. The firm says it emails reminders on Day 28 and Day 30, and that it will freeze an account for up to 2 months if asked in advance. The Terms describe the result of 30 days without a trade as suspension in one place and as suspension and termination in another; they also say terminated accounts cannot be reactivated.

After passing

The Terms ask traders to close all open trades once they reach the target, and say the account is reviewed within 2 business days before new login details are issued. Funded accounts cannot be merged.

Restrictions and Prohibited Strategies

The Terms set out a long list of rules on how traders may trade:

  • Hedging is not allowed on any programme, including across several Telos accounts, between traders, and on highly correlated instruments (the firm's examples are EURUSD vs DXY and US30 vs SPX500).
  • Grid trading is not allowed on any programme. Bracketing with buy-stop and sell-stop orders either side of price is prohibited.
  • Martingale is allowed on the 1-Step Challenge if the total risk on the trade idea does not exceed 2%, but not on funded accounts. On all programmes a trader may add up to 2 positions to a losing trade if the combined risk of the 3 positions stays within 2% of the initial balance; more than 3 positions counts as Martingale.
  • One-sided bets, gambling behaviour and over-leveraging are prohibited. The Terms treat using the whole available margin on one trade idea, so that the Margin Level falls to 150% or below, as over-leveraging. Listed consequences range from a warning or reduced leverage to failure of the challenge or account closure. For honest mistakes, the Terms say a trader "may receive" a notice, one free retry, reduced leverage, a daily trade limit or a 1% risk-per-trade-idea rule; this is at the firm's discretion, not a standard free reset.
  • Expert Advisors are supported. On the 1-Step Challenge any third-party EA may be used, but source code must be provided on request. On all programmes, EAs that scalp the rollover, trade news spikes or price gaps, use arbitrage, or run high-frequency or tick scalping are banned.
  • Copy trading is allowed only outward from a Telos account acting as the Master Account. Copying trades into a Telos account from a personal or other prop-firm account, copying other traders, and using pass services are not allowed.
  • Devices and networks: VPNs and proxies are not permitted, a VPS needs pre-approval, each trader may use up to 2 devices, and only one account per household may use a single IP address. Trading from another country requires emailing travel details.

The Terms also say the risk team may apply tailored limits, such as reduced leverage, to some traders based on their trading history.

Payouts and Scaling

StageAccount sizeProfit targetProfit split
Evaluation$80k, $40k, $10k10%50%
Level 1Doubled10%60%
Levels 2–6Doubled10%70–100%

The homepage FAQ says that, from Level 2, a trader chooses between keeping the account size and raising the split by 10% per target up to 100%, or growing the account with each target up to $2,000,000 while keeping a 70% split. Two accounts can each be scaled to $2,000,000. The Terms add that scaling decisions are at the firm's sole discretion and depend on continued compliance with the rules.

Payouts from Level 1 onward are available, according to the homepage, after 10 active trading days with a minimum 2% profit. We did not see a payout schedule, a minimum withdrawal amount or payout methods for funded-account profits on the pages we reviewed.

Evaluation profit: the Terms and Risk Disclosure say 50% of the evaluation profit is paid once the trader passes and reaches the 10% target on Level 1. The homepage FAQ words it as paid upon passing and returned to the original payment card after the Level 1 target is reached; we have used the Terms' wording on timing.

The Terms say the firm may verify trading activity before paying, and may withhold pending payments during an investigation. The Risk Disclosure says profit-sharing payments are at the firm's discretion and require identity verification. KYC is done through SumSub after passing or at the first payout request, and each trader may have only one verified profile.

Platforms and Markets

The homepage describes the platform as TradingView charts integrated with FX, indices, crypto and commodities, and offers a demo login so visitors can try the dashboard. We did not see MetaTrader, cTrader or another named platform on the pages we reviewed.

The homepage FAQ lists these instruments:

  • FX: 28 pairs, from majors such as EURUSD, GBPUSD and USDJPY to crosses such as GBPNZD and CHFJPY.
  • Commodities: Gold, Silver, Oil.
  • Indices: S&P500, US30, US100, DAX, UK100, F40, JP225, STOXX50, AUS200 and others.
  • Crypto: BTCUSD, ETHUSD, LTCUSD, ADAUSD, XRPUSD. The Terms note that crypto trades 24/7.

Leverage is 1:10 on the evaluation.

Company and Terms

The Terms say Telos Capital is a trading name of Telos Holdings Pty Ltd (ABN 22 687 704 936), registered in Australia; the Risk Disclosure says the company is registered in Victoria. The firm says it does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL).

The Terms and Risk Disclosure say all trading is simulated and that no real funds are placed in any market at any stage. The Terms' section on gambling behaviour also says "Telos Capital works with live market execution and real liquidity"; we have relied on the simulated-trading statements, which appear in several places.

Other points from the Terms (last updated February 2026): users must be at least 18; the firm may restrict access from certain jurisdictions at its discretion, but we did not see a list of restricted countries; its total liability is limited to the evaluation fee paid in the previous 12 months; and the Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia.

Education products

The site also sells the Telos Evolve programme, which the firm describes as a trading education programme, at $2,000 or 2 × $1,200/month. It also sells 3 months of 1-on-1 coaching at $3,000 or 3 × $1,200/month. Both prices are from its /offer page, which carried a May-cohort banner; the current Evolve page did not show a price. The Evolve page says no refunds are available once a buyer has access to the strategies. The education pages' enrolment banners did not agree: the offer page referred to a May cohort and a July intake, while the Evolve page said "October Intake Open".

Who It Suits

Telos Capital fits traders who want a single-phase evaluation with no time limit or minimum days, and who are comfortable with a fixed 6% drawdown, low 1:10 leverage and a mandatory stop loss on every trade. The split structure starts low (50% on evaluation profits and 60% at Level 1) and reaches higher levels only after further 10% targets. It is less suited to traders who rely on hedging, grid systems, trading without a stop loss, VPNs, or copying trades into their account.
