Maven FAQs
Answers sourced from Maven’s own help center.
A wide range of one-time-purchase plans: a 1-Step (8% target), a 2-Step (13% total), a 3-Step (9% total), the OMO 2-Step (14%), Instant Funding (no target), and even a 'Buy Now Pay Later' 1-Step. Account sizes start as low as $2K, and you trade forex, metals, indices, energies, commodities, and crypto on Match-Trader or MetaTrader 5.
80% across every plan — instant, one-step, two-step, and three-step alike. Payouts run on a 10-business-day cycle, and funded accounts can scale up to $1,000,000 once you meet the scaling criteria.
Targets vary by plan — for example the 1-Step asks 8%, the 3-Step 9% total (around 3% per phase), and the 2-Step 13%. On each phase you need three profitable days of at least 0.5% to progress. The Instant Funding route has no target to clear.
Maven uses several drawdown types depending on the plan — static, balance-based, equity-based, and trailing. The standard 1-Step, for instance, runs a 3% daily and 5% max drawdown, while the two-step plans use 4% daily and 8% max. Check the specific plan you buy, as the model and percentages differ across the range.
Yes, outside a tight window: you cannot open or close a trade within two minutes either side of a red-folder (high-impact) news release. Holding a position through the event is fine — the restriction is on entering or exiting right around it.
Prohibited behaviour includes copy trading, certain trading 'efficiencies', excessive scalping, holding trades with no risk management, and gambling-style trading. Maven expects a genuine, risk-managed approach that could be replicated on a live account.
Your personal details must match a valid government-issued ID (passport, driver's licence, residence permit, or ID card) — mismatched details, someone else's ID, or being underage all cause automatic rejection. You must pay with your own credit card in your name, and your IP address should stay within the same geographical region throughout your Maven journey to confirm you traded without outside help.
Maven supports several payout methods, including direct bank transfer and Rise, among other options, on the 10-business-day cycle.
