What’s included in the Challenge fee?

The Challenge fee is your one-time payment to enter the Pivex Trading Challenge. This fee includes everything you need to begin your trading journey with us, from access to the platform and data to education and support. There are no hidden or recurring charges — just a single payment to get started.

Here’s what you receive when you pay the Challenge fee:

1. Access to the Pivex Challenge System

You will be enrolled in our proprietary Trading Challenge environment — a simulated trading space designed to mirror real market conditions using live market data. This system allows you to trade just as you would with a real account, but without risking your own capital.

2. A Dedicated Account on MatchTrader

Once you complete your registration, you will receive credentials for a private MatchTrader account. This is the trading platform where you will perform all trades during the Challenge. Login details and setup instructions will be delivered via email immediately after purchase.

3. Real-Time Data for Major Markets

Your account will be connected to live market feeds, allowing you to trade major forex pairs, commodities, indices, and more — exactly as if you were trading in the live market. This provides an authentic and practical trading experience.

4. Built-In Risk Tracking and Drawdown Monitoring

Our platform includes real-time risk management tools that track your daily and overall drawdown, trade performance, and exposure. These tools are essential for helping you stay within the risk limits and pass the Trading Challenge phase. 

5. Full Account Review Upon Meeting Objectives

Once you reach the required profit target and follow all the trading rules throughout the Challenge, your performance will be reviewed. If you meet the criteria, your account will be upgraded to a Pivex Traders Account, where you can begin earning real payouts.

6. Access to the Pivex Trading Academy

Included with your Challenge fee is unlimited access to Pivex Trading Academy — a complete educational suite designed for traders at all levels. Topics covered include:

• Trading Strategies (scalping, swing, day trading, etc.)
• Forex Market Structure and Behavior
• Technical and Fundamental Analysis
• Risk Management & Position Sizing
• Sentiment and Statistical Analysis
• Overview of other financial instruments (e.g., crypto, indices, commodities
  

This is ideal for new traders who want to strengthen their foundation while progressing through the Challenge.

7. Live Support Channels

You’ll have access to Pivex support via live chat, Discord, and email. Whether you need help with your account, technical issues, or platform navigation, our team is here to assist.

8. Refundable Challenge Fee After 3rd Payout

Unlike most firms, Pivex offers a Challenge fee refund as a reward for consistent performance.
If you:

• Successfully complete the Trading Challenge
• Reach the Pivex Traders Stage
• Receive your third payout
  

You will become eligible to request a full refund of your Challenge fee.

Example:

If you purchase the $25,000 Challenge Account for $199, that fee gives you access to a simulated trading environment. If you meet the profit target and all rules, your account will be upgraded. Upon reaching your third payout in the Pivex Traders Stage, you can submit a request to refund your original $199 fee.
