The payment link comes up after both the Refund and Terms & Conditions boxes are agreed and checked. We will only ask for more information (for due diligence and compliance checks) after you have passed our internal evaluation.

We started operating successfully since 2020 and we have funded local traders in Singapore. We strive to retain our prime spot of being part of the industry leader in funding good traders all over the world. Since trading can be done remotely, we decided to open our door and welcome traders internationally.

We know that reputation is the most valuable aspect of this business. The best way to find out whether a company is legitimate is to simply look for reviews on the internet. You can do your due diligence, some reviews about BuoyTrade can be found on the most respected Trading review sites – Trust Pilot or Forex Factory. Many traders also do YouTube videos or share their success stories with us and these can be found in the dedicated section of our blog. We also have a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), a global standard to identify legal entities' credibility and trustworthiness, and are registered on the Global LEI database.

BuoyTrade is looking for successful traders around the world. To ascertain if a trader has all the qualities we seek, we developed a scaling process to distinguish and identify them.

BuoyTrade's goal is to break the entry barriers into the online proprietary industry. If you can show us you have the qualities by displaying your trading skills, we are happy to let you trade our capital.

Upon successful completion, traders are offered a placement in the BuoyTrade Proprietary Trading firm, where they can remotely manage up to 10 accounts of USD 1,024,000  and continuously grow the account according to our Scaling Plan (Buoy Direct). As a BuoyTrade Trader, you are eligible to keep up to 50% of the profits you generate. Our company covers all losses, if any.

We are located in Singapore, an International Financial Centre. Our corporate office is conveniently located in the heart of Singapore's Central Business District, easily accessible by all means.

The address is: 7 Temasek Boulevard #12-07, Suntec Tower One, Singapore. Let us know in advance if you are keen to drop by our office for a visit as we would need to inform our receptionist to make the necessary arrangement. We will be happy to meet you.

You can also contact us by filling out our contact form, sending us an email or using our Live chat– all of these can be found in the contact section.

We accept traders from all around the world who are at least 18 years old. If you know how to trade profitably and with proper risk management, that is all we care about. There is no other qualification required.

Trading is difficult. As a trader, you will face many common problems such as:

- Trading an account that is too small (undercapitalization)

- Fear of losing your own money

- Psychological pressures

- Lack of discipline

- Growth limitations

- Insufficient support from other people


It is difficult to make a living as a trader. With the BuoyTrade Prop Trading firm, you can manage our initial capital of up to $16,000. If you generate profits on the BuoyTrade Account, You will be rewarded with 50% of achieved profits and our funding partner company will keep the other split. However, it needs to be understood that this is the best-case scenario and similarly, traders might face periods when they don’t earn any profits. In general, trading is a risky business.

Another benefit of trading for BuoyTrade is that you won’t be responsible for any losses if any. In case things go wrong, all losses on the BuoyTrade Account are covered by our funding partner. You don’t need to fear losing if you literally have nothing to lose.

At BuoyTrade, we are also traders and we understand that to be a successful trader, it is not just about having enough capital to trade with. The performance of our traders directly reflects the performance of the company. Therefore, it is in our interest that our traders trade under the best conditions.

Then there is trading discipline. We will carefully observe your trading results and you will be trading under easy rules. We believe that our rules are very relaxed. No more restrictive rules such as daily drawdown, mandatory stop loss, max trading position size. That is why you will really stand a chance once you start trading with us.

Another issue traders face is the so-called ‘keep and grow or withdraw and go‘. Do you prefer compounding your account or rather enjoy your hard-earned money? At BuoyTrade, you can do both. BuoyTrade will pay out your 50% profit share on a monthly basis. Periodically, we will allocate more trading capital into your BuoyTrade Account if you display consistently profitability. Get paid and grow at the same time according to our Scaling Plan.

Any expert advisors (EA) that does millisecond scalping are prohibited.

These expert advisors only works very well on Demo Accounts and will not work with Buoy's liquidity environment. They produce a high rate of failure statistically on our platform.

The reason for the high rate of violations on our desks are due to the fake liquidity demo accounts have. If you are planning to purchase a tick scalper from any website, as suggested by Daniel (head of trading desk) he highly recommend you to save your money and not purchase one.

You will need to deal with taxes on your own, according to your country’s law and tax regulations.

The fee mainly serves as a trader’s commitment to treat the account with the utmost care and responsibility. A trader has something in the game and the psychology is working. Also, the fee is just a marginal percentage compared to the size of the BuoyTrade Account that you will receive after succeeding in the our evaluation process. In other words, the fee is a key towards the funded BuoyTrade Account and to gain financial independence. The good news is that you cannot lose more than this fee as any potential losses on the BuoyTrade Account are covered by us.

The fee also covers the Operational Cost of administrative and paying vendors for keeping the whole firm running.

Another purpose of the fee is to filter out only the serious traders from those who just keep on trying. We are looking for traders who are experienced and profitable. Our capacities and resources are limited, and we simply can’t cater for all the traders out there. That’s why we take on board only those who are serious, committed and responsible. Our funding programme is a highly valued service we offer, and therefore it is adequately priced.

We do not provide any Demo/Trial account. However, we do have evaluation programme with a smaller sized account to traders who wish to experience trading under BuoyTrade and there will also be profit-split entitlement after the traders passed the evaluation programme.

If the purpose of you getting a demo account is to understand how trading works or test your strategy, you may alternatively head to our partnered Broker's website to register for a demo account.

Certainly. We know very well that trading different accounts can be a major obstacle for many traders. We too have experienced the hassle of switching accounts everyday. It is said that 80% of success in trading is devoted to a proper state of mind, controlled emotions and psychological stability. That’s why we have used such trade copier service like Social Trading Tools to copy trades from a single account. We are not affiliated by them, but traders do love their service.

This term is included in our T&Cs as well as in the BuoyTrade Contract Agreement. Trading must be legitimate and traders must not use practices that contradict the functioning of a real market.

BuoyTrade knows the turf and the trading industry very well. We're the first A-Book Proprietary Firm in the industry to show our traders that their trades are being traded on the major exchanges.

Simply said, if our traders are profitable, so are we. It makes a logical sense to support our traders by providing them with the freedom to trade without any restrictions or limitations and to offer them the best account conditions that nobody else does.
