Gripen Funding supports the following platforms: DXtrade, MatchTrader, cTrader, and GooeylPro via GooeylTrader. Platform availability may vary by account type — confirm at checkout.

You can trade a full range of instruments including: FX pairs, CFD Indices, Commodities, Metals, and Cryptocurrencies. Specific instrument availability depends on the trading platform and account type.

Upon purchase, you will receive access to a dedicated trader dashboard where you can monitor your account progress in near real-time. The dashboard displays your current balance, equity, profit target progress, drawdown levels, and daily loss usage.

The daily loss limit resets at 5:00 PM EST each day. It is calculated using the greater of the prior day's end-of-day balance or equity. If you have open profitable trades at 5PM EST, the limit for the next day is based on the higher equity figure — giving you more room.

Example: On a $100,000 account with a 5% daily loss limit, if your equity is $102,000 at the 5PM EST reset, your daily loss limit becomes $5,100. This means your account will breach if intraday equity drops to $96,900 at any point the following day.
