Why Cleared Capital

Built different.
For a reason.

Every decision was shaped by what SA traders actually need — not what looks good on a pitch deck.

ZAR pricing
No USD. No surprises.
No tax headaches. Ever.
No forex conversion fees on challenge payments
No SARS foreign income declarations
No international transaction complications
Payouts straight to your SA bank account
💡 Did you know? Challenge fees may be tax deductible.

If you trade as a business or sole proprietor in South Africa, your Cleared Capital challenge fee may qualify as a deductible business expense against your taxable income. That means your R1,799 challenge could effectively cost you significantly less after tax. Speak to your accountant — this is one of the most overlooked advantages of prop firm challenges in SA.

Most traders don't pass.
That's not the problem.

Most people who buy a challenge don't pass it. We know that. You probably know that too.

But here's what nobody tells you — that's not actually the problem. The problem is that most traders blow real accounts learning lessons that a challenge account would have taught them for a fraction of the cost.

They risk R50,000 of their own money to discover they can't control their emotions under pressure. They lose R30,000 learning that revenge trading destroys accounts. They spend months finding out their strategy doesn't survive a volatile week.

A Cleared Capital challenge costs R1,799. For R1,799 you get to feel what it's like to manage R100,000 — with real consequences, real pressure, and a real payout waiting on the other side.

The difference between trading a demo and trading a challenge is the same as the difference between a flight simulator and sitting in a cockpit. The stakes change how you think. The stakes change how you behave. That change is what makes a trader.

We make money when you fail and buy again. We're not going to pretend otherwise. But we also make money when you pass and tell every trader you know. Our incentives are more aligned with yours than you'd expect.

We want you to get good enough to pass. We want you to get paid. We want you to come back for a bigger account. We just know that getting there takes most people more than one attempt. And that's okay. That's trading.

Questions

Straight answers
to fair questions

We're a registered South African company — our registration number is in the footer. Our founders are named on our About page. Every payout we make is published publicly with amounts visible. You can verify all of this before spending a rand. We understand the SA market has been burnt badly, which is exactly why we operate with full transparency.
Yes. Payouts go directly to your South African bank account via EFT. We publish every payout publicly on our Payouts page with amounts visible and personal details blurred. Your payout comes from our dedicated liquidity pool, which you can see updating live on our homepage.
Your challenge account is closed. You can purchase a new challenge at any time. Most traders who eventually pass have failed at least once — it's part of the process. When you request a payout you'll also have the option to start a new challenge at a 15% discount before your payout is sent.
Yes — completely. All trading across all stages, including funded accounts, takes place in a simulated environment using real market price data. Your payouts are real and paid from our prize pool. We don't hide this — it's in our T&Cs and it's how every legitimate prop firm in the world operates.
MetaTrader 5 (MT5) — the platform SA traders are most familiar with. You'll receive login credentials immediately after purchasing your challenge and can begin trading right away.
News trading is permitted. Expert Advisors are permitted provided they don't exploit platform latency or use arbitrage strategies. The consistency rule — no single day exceeding 50% of your total profit — means pure news gambling won't carry you through the evaluation.
Cleared Capital operates as a trading education and performance assessment platform. All trading is simulated. We are a registered South African company (CIPC). We strongly recommend all participants read our full legal disclosures before purchasing a challenge.
