Tester program: how to complete each test

The tester program rewards you for trying the platform and telling us what you find. Each task below says what to do, where to click and what to check, so you can tick them off without guessing.

Before you start

Open the user menu (your name, top right) and choose Tester program. Read the rules, tick the box and press Join the tester program. You will see a progress ring and a checklist. Each task shows its points. Tasks tick off automatically when your account does the thing, usually within a minute, so refresh the page if one has not moved. The pictures in this guide are simplified drawings of the screens, so yours may look a little different.

Verify your email (5 points)

1. Open the email we sent when you signed up and press the confirmation link.
2. If you cannot find it, check your spam or junk folder.
3. Return to the Tester program page and refresh. The task should be ticked.

You also need a verified email to claim the reward, so do this one first.

Connect a trading account (15 points)

Pick whichever platform you have. Either one counts.

MetaTrader 4

1. From the user menu choose Connect an account and download the SuperTerminal EA. Sign the beta agreement if asked.
2. In MT4 open File, Open Data Folder, go to MQL4, Experts and copy the EA file there. Restart MT4 or refresh the Navigator.
3. Under Tools, Options, Expert Advisors tick Allow WebRequest for listed URL and add the dashboard address shown in the setup steps.
4. Drag the EA onto one chart of a demo account, paste your personal key, and make sure AutoTrading is on.
5. Within a minute the account appears on your All accounts page.

cTrader

1. Open the All accounts page and press Connect cTrader.
2. Sign in on cTrader's own page with your cTrader ID and tick the demo account to share.
3. You are sent back with a "Connected" message, and the account appears in a minute or two.

Only demo accounts are accepted during the beta.

Start a prop challenge (10 points)

1. Open the Challenge page and scroll to Prop-firm challenges.
2. Choose an account size and a guard rails level, for example Full.
3. Press Start phase 1 on any card. The challenge terminal opens.
4. Place at least one trade with the Sell or Buy button.

Read the "To pass" checklist in the Score panel, since it explains what the challenge asks for.

Close 10 trades in a challenge (15 points)

1. In the terminal, set Lots to 0.01, a take-profit around 20 pips and a stop-loss if you like.
2. Press Sell or Buy. Close the trade yourself from the open trades list, or let the take-profit or stop-loss close it.
3. Repeat until Finances shows ten closed trades. The checklist shows your count as a bar.

The market is shut from Friday night to Sunday night, and the terminal tells you the price is not live then. Try again when markets reopen.

Turn Safeguard on in a challenge (10 points)

1. In the challenge terminal press Settings at the top right.
2. Under Safeguard, switch Account protection on. Set the Drawdown Trigger to the free-margin level where you want it to hedge.
3. Press Apply. The settings panel says Safeguard is running.

Safeguard Auto Recovery is a premium feature and stays greyed out.

Enter the weekly challenge (5 points)

1. On the Challenge page find the weekly card and press Enter.
2. Place a trade or two so your entry has something to score.

A new weekly challenge starts every Monday, and entries close on Thursday at 21:00 UTC.

Enter a session challenge (5 points)

1. On the Challenge page open the Session challenges row.
2. Pick Asia, London or NYC. A card is only open during its own session window, and its button says when it opens.

Save a simulator session (10 points)

1. Open one of your connected accounts and press Simulate, or press Simulate on a challenge dashboard.
2. Choose how to start: a new account, a backtest or a forward test. Press Start, trade a little, and let it run or press Run to End.
3. When the run finishes or you close the simulator, choose Save on the "Save this session?" box.
4. You can also open Sim Journal from the user menu and press Keep on a recent session.

The simulator needs a connected account to start from, so do the connect task first.

Add a challenge to your dashboard (5 points)

1. Go to the All accounts page.
2. Press Add challenge, or use the dashed "+" card in the Operating Equity row.
3. Press Add next to one of the challenges. A card for it appears.

2. Press the speech bubble on a real post (the sample cards cannot take comments).
3. Write a comment of at least two characters, with no links, and press Post.

If there are no real posts yet, share your own first and ask another tester to comment, or come back later.

Send useful feedback (10 points each, up to three)

On the Tester program page, use Send feedback. Choose a category (bug, idea, phone test or other), write what you did and what happened, then send it. Each note is reviewed, and approved notes earn points.

What a good note looks like

• What you were doing: the page or screen and the steps you took.
• What you expected and what happened instead.
• Where: your device and browser, for example "iPhone 14, Safari" or "Windows, Chrome".
• For an idea, say the problem it would solve.

Short notes that only say "it is broken" or "make it better" are usually rejected. A note of two or three clear sentences is enough.

Claiming your reward

1. When the ring reaches 100 points, a claim box appears.
2. Enter the PayPal email to pay and press Claim. Your email must be verified.
3. We check your points and pay by PayPal. The page shows Pending until it is marked Paid.

Rewards are limited, and accounts that look fake or duplicated are removed.
