Is LEVAFX legit?
LEVAFX is operated by LEVAFX LTD, registered in England and Wales under company number 17355265. That number is verifiable on Companies House.
The founder, Harsh Goyal, is named publicly with his own Telegram and email on this site. He is not hiding behind a support desk.
But we are new. LEVAFX launched in 2026. We do not have years of payout history, thousands of funded traders, or a long Trustpilot record — and any firm our age claiming otherwise is not telling you the truth.
What we do instead: every withdrawal we send is published with its blockchain transaction hash, so you can verify we paid without taking our word for it. If you would rather wait until that list is longer, that is a completely reasonable decision.
Who owns LEVAFX?
Harsh Goyal, a trader from India. Before building LEVAFX he earned roughly $200,000 to $300,000 in payouts from other prop firms — and then had several payouts refused after he had already earned them.
That is the reason this firm exists. The full story is on the Our Story page.
He built the entire platform from scratch — the trading engine, the price feed, the risk system and the payment flow. No white-label, no rented software. Most prop firms run the same third-party platform as each other.
What are the rules?
Two, and both are shown before you pay:
- Maximum drawdown — the floor your equity cannot touch
- Daily drawdown — a floor that resets each trading day at 22:00 UTC
And two things we deliberately do not have:
- No minimum trading days. Pass in a week if you can.
- No time limit. Your account waits as long as you need.
Everything else, you are allowed to do — and we spell it out, because "surprise" rules are how most firms avoid paying:
- News trading — trade any event, high-impact included. No lockout window.
- Hold overnight and over the weekend. Nothing is force-closed.
- Your own EAs and automated strategies are welcome.
- Scalping — no minimum hold time.
- No lot-size cap, no stop-loss requirement.
Your rules are fixed when you buy. If we change something later it applies to new accounts, never to yours. This is written into our terms, not just promised.
Is news trading allowed, and are there any hidden rules?
News trading is fully allowed — trade any event, high-impact included, with no lockout window and no widened cutoffs. Hold straight through the release if that is your strategy.
And there are no hidden rules. The maximum drawdown and daily drawdown are the only two ways to close an account — no surprise breach once you are winning. No lot-size limit, no stop-loss requirement, no minimum trading days, no time limit. To pass the evaluation you also reach the profit target and complete a few qualifying trades — both shown before you buy, so nothing is hidden.
Most firms bury rules that only start to matter once you are winning — a surprise "soft breach", a hidden lot cap, a prohibited-strategy clause you were never told about. Our rules are the two drawdown limits, plus a clearly-shown consistency requirement on the evaluation. Nothing is hidden and nothing is added after you pass.
How do payouts work?
Payouts unlock 10 days after your first trade on a funded account. There is a minimum request amount and a maximum percentage of your balance per request — both published in your dashboard.
You request from your dashboard, we review within one business day, and the approved amount is credited to your LevaWallet. You convert it to USDT and withdraw to any crypto address you control.
Every withdrawal comes with its blockchain transaction hash. You can paste it into a block explorer and confirm the transfer without asking us anything. Very few firms do this, and it is the single clearest answer to "do they actually pay".
What is Leva Awards?
Leva Awards is the official proof program of LEVAFX. Every milestone a trader reaches — passing an evaluation phase, receiving a funded account, and getting a payout — is issued as a uniquely-numbered certificate that anyone can verify at levaawards.com.
Payout certificates link directly to the on-chain transaction, so you can independently confirm that LEVAFX actually paid. It is how we turn our results into public, verifiable proof rather than asking you to take our word for it.
How do I verify a LEVAFX certificate or payout?
Every Leva Award has a unique ID and a QR code. Scan the QR or enter the ID at levaawards.com and you will see whether it is genuine, who it was issued to, and — for payouts — a link to the blockchain transaction.
If a certificate does not verify at levaawards.com, it is not real. That is the point: our achievements can be checked by anyone, not just claimed.
Is LEVAFX real trading, or a simulation?
It is simulated, and we say so plainly. Your orders fill against real market prices from live data providers, but no order reaches an exchange.
This is how every prop firm evaluation works, including the large ones. The difference is that our terms state it in the third section rather than burying it. If a firm implies you are trading real capital during an evaluation, be careful.

Live spreads are published on our homepage, read from the same table our trading engine uses. Most firms do not publish spreads because they widen them during news.
Do I need to do KYC?
Only before your first payout — not at signup. You can buy a challenge, trade it and pass without verifying anything.
Verification takes a few minutes: photograph an ID document and a short liveness check, all inside your dashboard. It is handled by a specialist provider. LEVAFX never receives or stores your documents — only the result. See our privacy policy.
How much does it cost, and can I get a refund?
Prices depend on account size and are on the challenges page. Payment is in cryptocurrency — USDC on Polygon or USDT on BNB Chain.
Fees are not refundable once your account has been issued, because access to the evaluation begins immediately. We do refund if you paid and no account was created, or if we cancel for a reason that is not your fault.
What happens if I breach a rule?
The account closes immediately and cannot be restored. All open positions are closed at the market price.
This includes a breach caused by a gap, or by a stop loss that filled worse than the level you set. We say this openly because it is true — if a market gaps past your stop, you get the first price after the gap. That happens with real brokers too, and a firm that promises otherwise is not being straight with you.
Will you find a reason not to pay me?
That is the real question behind all the others, and it deserves a direct answer.
The reasons we can decline a payout are written down in section 8 of our terms. They are specific and short: you breached a rule, your identity verification is incomplete, or the request does not meet the published conditions. There is no clause allowing us to decline at our discretion, because that clause is exactly how the firms that burned our founder operated.
You do not have to believe this. Watch the payout list instead.
Should I trust a brand new prop firm?
Cautiously, and with money you can afford to lose. That is honest advice even though it costs us sales.
A new firm has no track record — that cuts both ways. It also has no accumulated liabilities, no legacy platform, and a founder who is personally reachable rather than three layers deep in a support system.
If you want to test us, start with the smallest account. If we pay that one, scale up. That is what we would do in your position.
And the part every prop firm should say more loudly: most people do not pass. The evaluation is genuinely hard and you should expect to lose the fee. That is true here and everywhere.
