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.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<nav class=\"fx-article-map\" aria-label=\"In this article\">\n<ul class=\"fx-article-map-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#one-account\">One account, four market types<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#new-to-prop\">Prop trading in one paragraph<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#markets\">The markets and how to find them<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#rules\">Same rules as crypto<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#drivers\">What moves gold, oil and stocks<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#sizing\">Sizing gold vs a stock<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#correlation\">Mixing markets and the daily limit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#routine\">A five-step routine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">FAQ<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/nav>\n<section id=\"one-account\">\n<h2>A prop firm for stocks and commodities, on a crypto account<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fundex24-prop-offer\/prop-firm-for-stocks-and-commodities-market-types.jpg\" alt=\"Four cards for the market types on one Fundex24 account: commodities such as XAU and CL, stocks such as NVDA and TSLA, ETFs such as SPY and QQQ, and crypto such as BTC and ETH\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>One balance, one set of limits, four kinds of markets.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"new-to-prop\">\n<h2>New to prop trading? The model in one paragraph<\/h2>\n<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/blog\/en\/what-is-a-prop-firm-challenge\/\">what a prop firm challenge is<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"markets\">\n<h2>Which commodities, stocks and ETFs you can trade<\/h2>\n<h3>Commodities: 9 markets<\/h3>\n<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/en\/trade\/XAU-USDT\">the XAU-USDT trade page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Stocks: more than 100 markets<\/h3>\n<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/en\/trade\/NVDA-USDT\">the NVDA-USDT chart<\/a> to see how a stock market looks on the platform.<\/p>\n<h3>ETFs: more than 20 markets<\/h3>\n<p>ETFs let you trade a whole basket in one position. SPY follows the S&amp;P 500, QQQ the Nasdaq-100, and GDX a basket of gold miners. For a broad view of US stocks, <a href=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/en\/trade\/SPY-USDT\">the SPY-USDT market<\/a> is a simpler starting point than picking a single company.<\/p>\n<h3>Finding them on the platform<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"rules\">\n<h2>The rules are the same as for crypto<\/h2>\n<p>Nothing changes when you switch from BTC to gold or NVDA. On a $10,000 account that means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Leverage up to 1:10, isolated margin only.<\/li>\n<li>Long and short on every market, and hedging a long and a short on the same market is allowed.<\/li>\n<li>Daily drawdown of 5% of the day&#8217;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.<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The full path from stage 1 to a withdrawal, with each of these in dollars, is in <a href=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/blog\/en\/crypto-prop-firm-step-by-step\/\">the crypto prop firm walkthrough<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"drivers\">\n<h2>What moves gold, oil and stocks<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>Gold and silver<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>Crude oil and natural gas<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>Stocks and ETFs<\/h3>\n<p>Stocks move on earnings, guidance, sector news and the direction of the broad index. A chip stock can jump on a rival&#8217;s results, and SPY or QQQ can pull most single names along on a strong macro day.<\/p>\n<p>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. <a href=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/blog\/en\/can-you-trade-news-on-a-funded-account\/\">Trading news on a funded account<\/a> goes deeper into that.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"sizing\">\n<h2>Sizing the same $50 risk on gold and on a stock<\/h2>\n<p>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%.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fundex24-prop-offer\/prop-firm-for-stocks-and-commodities-sizing.jpg\" alt=\"Table for a $10,000 account comparing a $50 risk on gold with a 1% stop and on a stock with a 4% stop: position size, margin at 1:10 and the move needed for a $25 trading day\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>The wider the stop, the smaller the position for the same dollar risk.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"correlation\">\n<h2>Mixing crypto, gold and stocks without stacking risk<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"routine\">\n<h2>A five-step routine for your first non-crypto trade<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Find the market in the Stocks, ETFs or Commodities tab.<\/li>\n<li>Check what moves it this week: a data release, an earnings date or a supply meeting.<\/li>\n<li>Decide the dollar risk first, for example $50, and the stop distance your setup needs.<\/li>\n<li>Work out the position size and set the stop with the order.<\/li>\n<li>Trade it, then log the result next to your crypto trades so you can compare.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fundex24-prop-offer\/prop-firm-for-stocks-and-commodities-routine.jpg\" alt=\"Five steps for a first gold or stock trade on Fundex24: find the market, check what moves it, set the dollar risk, size the position with a stop, then trade and log it\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>The same routine works for XAU, CL, NVDA or SPY.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you do not have a challenge yet, the plans are on <a href=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/en\/challenges\">the challenges page<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/fundex24.com\/blog\/en\/prop-firm-challenge-discount-code\/\">the challenge discount code<\/a> takes 10% off the fee.

Long and short positions are allowed on every market, with leverage up to 1:10 on isolated margin.<\/p>\n<h3>Where do the gold and stock prices come from?<\/h3>\n<p>They follow Binance Futures, where these markets are listed as USDT-margined perpetual contracts.<\/p>\n<h3>Is trading around earnings or inflation data allowed?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold, silver, crude oil, 100+ stocks and 20+ ETFs trade from the same challenge account as BTC.
