How Do You Trade Crypto on a Funded Guru Account?

The short answer: Size for the swings. Crypto trades 24/7 at Funded Guru with no forced closes and zero swap fees, on 1:5 leverage and $3 commission. The discipline is volatility – a normal Bitcoin move can hit your daily loss limit on its own, so set stops by crypto's range and work your lot size down from there, never up from habit.

Here's how to trade it inside the rules.

The 24/7 advantage

Forex sleeps on weekends. Crypto doesn't. The market runs around the clock, every day, which means a Funded Guru crypto position is live whenever you want it to be – Saturday morning, Sunday night, whenever your setup appears.

Overnight and weekend holding are both allowed here, with no swap fees eating into a position you carry for days. For a swing trader working crypto trends, that's the whole appeal: you hold for as long as the move lasts, not until an arbitrary platform cutoff.

Leverage and commission

Crypto runs at 1:5 leverage and $3 commission per lot – the lowest commission tier alongside metals and forex. The 1:5 is deliberately tighter than forex's 1:100, and it's there for a reason: crypto moves far enough on its own that high leverage would blow accounts in a single candle.

Treat the lower leverage as a feature. It caps how much exposure you can stack, which keeps you honest against the drawdown limits.

Volatility and your drawdown

This is where crypto traders get caught. A 5% intraday move in Bitcoin is normal. On a 2-Step account, max daily loss is 5% – so a single bad crypto swing can hit your daily limit on its own, before the 10% overall floor even comes into play. On Instant Funding the daily loss limit is 3%, with a 6% trailing drawdown overall, and crypto can clear that 3% before you've had your coffee.

Size positions for crypto's volatility, not forex's. A stop that feels wide on a major pair is often the right width on BTC, and that means smaller lots to keep the dollar risk in check. On Instant Funding, your total open risk still can't cross 1% of account size – crypto's swings make that ceiling easy to hit if you size by habit instead of by stop distance.

Trading the weekend

Weekend crypto is thinner. Liquidity drops, spreads can widen, and a single large order moves price further than it would midweek. That cuts both ways – cleaner trends when a move gets going, sharper reversals when it doesn't.

If you're holding into the weekend, know where your stop sits relative to your drawdown floor before Friday closes elsewhere. The position keeps running; your risk management has to run with it.

The quick checklist

Before you open a crypto position at Funded Guru:

• Is my stop sized for crypto volatility, not forex?

• On Instant Funding, does this fit inside my 1% open-risk ceiling?

• If I'm holding into the weekend, where's my floor?

• Am I treating 1:5 leverage as the safety rail it is?

Crypto rewards traders who respect the swings and size around them. The market's always open – your discipline has to stay open with it.
