Markets beyond crypto
If you are looking for a prop firm for stocks and commodities, you may not need a separate account at all. At Fundex24, the same challenge account that trades BTC also trades gold, silver, crude oil, US and Asian stocks and ETFs, under one set of rules. This guide covers what is on the list, what moves these markets, and how to size a gold trade next to a stock trade without doubling your risk by accident.
A prop firm for stocks and commodities, on a crypto account
Fundex24 is crypto-focused, but its challenge and funded accounts are not limited to coins. Next to BTC and ETH you will find commodities, more than 100 stock markets and more than 20 ETFs, all traded from the same balance.
These markets are USDT-margined perpetual contracts listed on Binance Futures, and their prices follow Binance Futures. You trade the price, long or short. You never own the shares or the metal, which means no dividends, no voting rights and no delivery of anything physical.
New to prop trading? The model in one paragraph
You pay a one-time fee, from $29, for a challenge account of $3,000, $6,000 or $10,000. Reach the profit targets of two stages without breaking the loss limits and you get a funded account with an 80% profit split. The accounts are simulated, and the fee is the most you can lose. For the longer version, read what a prop firm challenge is.
Which commodities, stocks and ETFs you can trade
Commodities: 9 markets
Metals: gold (XAU), silver (XAG), platinum (XPT), palladium (XPD) and copper (COPPER). Energy: crude oil (CL) and natural gas (NATGAS). There are also two tokenized gold markets, PAXG and XAUT, which track gold through a token. Gold is a natural first market, at the XAU-USDT trade page.
Stocks: more than 100 markets
The big US names are there: NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, META and GOOGL, along with crypto-linked stocks such as COIN and MSTR. Asian companies include TENCENT, SAMSUNG and SKHYNIX. You can open the NVDA-USDT chart to see how a stock market looks on the platform.
ETFs: more than 20 markets
ETFs let you trade a whole basket in one position. SPY follows the S&P 500, QQQ the Nasdaq-100, and GDX a basket of gold miners. For a broad view of US stocks, the SPY-USDT market is a simpler starting point than picking a single company.
Finding them on the platform
The market list has category tabs: Stocks, ETFs and Commodities. Click one to see only that group, or type the ticker, for example XAU or TSLA, into the market search.
The rules are the same as for crypto
Nothing changes when you switch from BTC to gold or NVDA. On a $10,000 account that means:
- Leverage up to 1:10, isolated margin only.
- Long and short on every market, and hedging a long and a short on the same market is allowed.
- Daily drawdown of 5% of the day’s starting balance, $500 on a day that starts at $10,000, and a fixed maximum drawdown floor at $9,000. Equity is watched, not only closed trades.
- Targets of 10% in stage 1 and 8% in stage 2, with at least 5 trading days in each. A trading day needs a closed position with at least $25 of profit or loss.
- In the challenge stages, a single position that makes more than 60% of the stage target, $600 in stage 1, does not count toward it.
The full path from stage 1 to a withdrawal, with each of these in dollars, is in the crypto prop firm walkthrough.

What moves gold, oil and stocks
Coins react to crypto headlines. These markets answer to other news, and knowing which releases matter tells you when to trade smaller or stay out.
Gold and silver
Gold tends to react to the US dollar, interest-rate expectations, inflation data and geopolitical stress. Silver and the other metals often respond to the same headlines, which matters later when you size positions.
Crude oil and natural gas
Oil reacts to supply decisions such as those of OPEC+, to inventory data and to the outlook for demand. A single supply announcement can reprice it in minutes, so treat those dates the way you would treat a big crypto unlock.
Stocks and ETFs
Stocks move on earnings, guidance, sector news and the direction of the broad index. A chip stock can jump on a rival’s results, and SPY or QQQ can pull most single names along on a strong macro day.
News trading is allowed on Fundex24. The catch is the spike: big scheduled releases can move price sharply within minutes, and a stop placed too tight gets hit before the real move starts. Trading news on a funded account goes deeper into that.
Sizing the same $50 risk on gold and on a stock
Position size comes from two numbers: the dollars you are willing to lose and the distance to your stop. On a $10,000 account, a $50 risk is 0.5%.
Say your gold setup needs a stop 1% away. $50 divided by 1% gives a $5,000 position, which at 1:10 ties up $500 of margin. A single stock often needs more room around earnings or sector news, so suppose the NVDA stop sits 4% away: $50 divided by 4% gives a $1,250 position and $125 of margin. If either stop is hit, you lose the same $50.
The stop distance also changes how quickly a trade counts as a trading day. The $25 minimum takes a 0.5% move on the $5,000 gold position but a 2% move on the $1,250 stock position. Closing the stock trade early for $8 will not add a day.
Mixing crypto, gold and stocks without stacking risk
Trading several market types can spread risk, because gold, oil and a tech stock do not always move together. It only works if the positions are actually different bets.
Correlated positions behave like one bigger position against the daily limit. A long on gold and a long on silver, each with $50 at risk, is closer to one $100 bet on metals. Longs on NVDA, AMD and the SMH chip ETF are one bet on chips. On a day that starts at $10,000, the daily limit is $500, and a sharp move against one theme can pull all of those trades down at the same moment.
On the funded account there is one more reason to count carefully: the total risk to the stops of all open positions is capped at 3% of the account, $300 on $10,000, and the platform will not open a new position that would take the total above that cap. Six $50 positions reach it whether they are six coins or a mix of gold, oil and stocks.
A five-step routine for your first non-crypto trade
- Find the market in the Stocks, ETFs or Commodities tab.
- Check what moves it this week: a data release, an earnings date or a supply meeting.
- Decide the dollar risk first, for example $50, and the stop distance your setup needs.
- Work out the position size and set the stop with the order.
- Trade it, then log the result next to your crypto trades so you can compare.
If you do not have a challenge yet, the plans are on the challenges page, and the challenge discount code takes 10% off the fee. There is also a longer piece on trading gold on a funded account.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate challenge to trade gold or stocks?
No. The challenge account you buy trades crypto, commodities, stocks and ETFs from the same balance and under the same rules.
Do I own the shares or receive dividends?
No. You trade perpetual contracts that follow the price, so there is no ownership, no dividend and no voting right.
Can I short gold or a stock?
Yes. Long and short positions are allowed on every market, with leverage up to 1:10 on isolated margin.
Where do the gold and stock prices come from?
They follow Binance Futures, where these markets are listed as USDT-margined perpetual contracts.
Is trading around earnings or inflation data allowed?
Yes, news trading is allowed. Give the stop enough room for the first spike and size the position down to keep the same dollar risk.
