Question 1

What is Lenium?

Accepted Answer

Lenium is an independent prediction market prop firm. Pass a paid evaluation to earn a simulated funded account and a share of the profits.

Question 2

Is Lenium regulated?

Accepted Answer

Lenium is an evaluation services company and is not registered with or regulated by the CFTC. Lenium is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any exchange or prediction market operator.

Question 3

Do I trade real money?

Accepted Answer

No. All accounts are simulated, evaluation, funded and Instant accounts alike: they trade virtual balances on live market prices. No real money is traded and no orders are sent to any exchange. Lenium does not offer live trading accounts.

Question 4

What is an Instant account?

Accepted Answer

A simulated funded account you buy directly, without an evaluation. You can trade it as soon as you've paid. There's no profit target and no time limit, and you keep 70% of approved profit (90% with the split add-on). Instant accounts are simulated funded accounts. Payouts are paid by Lenium based on your simulated results.

Question 5

Can I have more than one Lenium account?

Accepted Answer

No. One Lenium account per person. Inside it: up to 4 accounts at once and up to $200,000 in funded and Instant accounts per person. Positions in the same event must stay in one account.

Question 6

What do I need to verify?

Accepted Answer

Verify your email to start. Verify your ID to receive a funded account and before every payout. Our ID verification partner checks a government ID and a quick selfie; Lenium keeps only the result.

Question 7

How does the challenge work?

Accepted Answer

Buy an evaluation and trade a simulated account on live prediction market prices. Hit a 10% profit target within 30 days and stay above the 10% drawdown floor. Exchange fees are simulated on every trade.

Question 8

What happens when I pass?

Accepted Answer

You verify your ID, sign a trader agreement and receive a simulated funded account at your challenge size. Funded and Instant accounts are simulated. Payouts are paid by Lenium based on your simulated results.

Question 9

What is the profit split?

Accepted Answer

The default split is 70/30. Add the 90% profit split add-on at purchase to lock in 90/10 permanently. When your first payout is approved, the evaluation fee you paid comes back as account credit for your next evaluation or reset (expires after 180 days, no cash value).

Question 10

What if I fail the challenge?

Accepted Answer

Your account closes after a breach or expiry. Reset at the discounted reset fee: $5K $41, $10K $63, $25K $111, $50K $216, $75K $321, $100K $411.

Question 11

Which markets can I trade?

Accepted Answer

Trade markets resolving within 60 days with YES prices between 20¢ and 80¢ at entry, within position and exposure limits. There is no minimum number of markets.

Question 12

What happens if I am inactive on a funded account?

Accepted Answer

No trades for 30 consecutive days terminates a funded account. A warning goes out at 20 days of inactivity.

Question 13

How are payouts processed?

Accepted Answer

Request a payout once your profit exceeds the 2% minimum and your funded account is at least 14 days old (first payout only). You can withdraw up to 5% of your starting balance per rolling 30 days ($1,250 on $25,000), with one request every 30 days (every 7 with the Weekly payouts add-on). When your first payout is approved, your evaluation fee comes back as account credit. Every payout is reviewed before it's sent. Processing takes 14 business days, or 7 with the fast payout add-on.

Question 14

Evaluation or Instant: which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

The evaluation costs less (from $55), gives your fee back as credit with your first payout, and can be reset if you breach. Instant skips the evaluation but costs more (from $79). It has tighter limits (6% trailing drawdown, 3% max per position), no fee back and no reset.

Question 15

When can I take my first payout from an Instant account?

Accepted Answer

14 days after you buy it, once your profit is at least 2% of the starting balance and your ID is verified. With Weekly payouts, after 7 days. After that you can request every 30 days (every 7 with Weekly payouts), up to 5% of the starting balance in any 30 days.

Question 16

Why is the Instant drawdown 6% when funded accounts get 10%?

Accepted Answer

Instant accounts skip the evaluation, so tighter drawdown and position limits do the job the evaluation normally does. They're also what keeps Instant prices low.

Question 17

What happens if my Instant account hits the drawdown?

Accepted Answer

The account ends, and any profit not yet paid out is lost. Instant accounts can't be reset, but you can buy a new one.

Question 18

What does the Weekly payouts add-on do?

Accepted Answer

You can request your first payout after 7 days instead of 14, then a payout every 7 days instead of every 30. It doesn't raise the cap: the total in any 30 days is still at most 5% of the starting balance, and each request must be at least 2%. It's available on evaluations (it carries over to your funded account) and on Instant accounts.

Question 19

What's the difference between Weekly payouts and 7-day fast payout?

Accepted Answer

Weekly payouts changes how often you can request a payout. Fast payout changes how quickly an approved payout is sent (7 business days instead of 14). You can have both.

Question 20

Do I need to verify my ID for an Instant account?

Accepted Answer

Not to buy one. You need an approved ID check before your first payout, so it's best to do it early.

Question 21

Do I get my fee back on an Instant account?

Accepted Answer

No. Fee back as credit applies to evaluations only.
