Your options
- Paper trading — free, but you can’t get paid, and most paper tools ignore pool liquidity so results are too good.
- Small real bags — real skin in the game, but tiny size and every mistake costs SOL.
- A funded account — real pool pricing, real size, and real SOL payouts, with downside capped at the challenge fee.
How the funded route works
You pay a monthly challenge fee from $50. You get a simulated 25, 50 or 100 SOL account priced against live pools. Hit +30% inside the rules and you’re funded; profits from the funded account are paid to you in real SOL at an 80–85% split.
| Account | Buying power | Challenge | Activation | Profit target | Max loss | Profit split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Degen | 25 SOL | $50/mo | $100 (refunded) | 30% (7.5 SOL) | 20% static | 80% |
| Sniper | 50 SOL | $90/mo | $175 (refunded) | 30% (15 SOL) | 20% static | 80% |
| Whale | 100 SOL | $160/mo | $300 (refunded) | 30% (30 SOL) | 20% static | 85% |
Be honest with yourself first
Not risking your own money is not the same as not losing money — fees add up if you keep failing. Practice your process, read risk management and position sizing, and only buy a challenge when you can follow rules for a week straight.
Questions people ask
Can you trade memecoins with no money?
You can’t trade real coins for free, but with a funded account you trade a simulated 25–100 SOL balance against real prices for a challenge fee, and can earn real SOL payouts.
What’s the most I can lose?
The challenge fee. You never deposit trading capital.
