Questions, answered.

Everything about how the desk works — the services, the economics, and where your money does (and doesn't) go. If it's not here, ask us directly and you'll have an answer within the day.

01

General

What is Riviera Capital?

A managed funded-trading desk. We pass prop-firm evaluations, trade funded accounts to payout, manage client capital with our proprietary algorithms, and license those algorithms directly. Four services, one standard: every account we touch is traded with the same risk framework we apply to our own capital.

Which service should I start with?

It depends where you are. Not funded yet? Challenge Pass. Funded but no withdrawals yet? Payout Assist. Want it fully hands-off, long-term? Money Management. Want to run the systems yourself? Trading Bots. Not sure — message us and we'll recommend in one reply.

Do I need any trading experience?

None. There are no screens to watch, no charts to analyze, no 4 AM alarms. You pick a service, we do the work, you collect the results. Trading income without the trading.

What markets do you trade?

Systematic strategies across US indices, metals, and crypto — running up to 16+ hours a day, every position risk-managed. The exact mix is tuned to each account's firm rules and drawdown limits.

How fast do payouts arrive?

The standard cadence is weekly, every Friday. Money Management clients can choose daily, weekly, or monthly cycles. Prop firms pay you directly — timing of the final transfer depends on your firm's processing.

02

Challenge Pass

Which firms and sizes do you cover?

Any prop firm on the planet, from 25K to 250K accounts — futures or forex, 1-step, 2-step, or 3-step evaluations. Unusual rules are simply part of the brief; tell us your firm and we adapt before any trade is placed.

How long does a pass take?

One to two weeks on average. We never rush — we trade only when our setups appear, because a slow pass beats a breached account every time.

What if you breach my evaluation?

Your next attempt is on us — you only cover the firm's own reset fee. Across 500+ completed evaluations, our breach rate stays low because we walk away from marginal setups.

03

Payout Assist

How does the 50/50 split work?

You pay a small upfront fee (from $29, scaled by account size), we trade your funded account to its first payout, and the payout is split 50/50. If there's no payout, you owe nothing beyond the upfront — our real payment only exists if yours does.

How long until the first payout?

Typically two to four weeks, depending on your firm's payout cycle and minimum trading days. We trade to the firm's eligibility rules, not to a calendar.

What happens after the first payout?

The account is yours, fully intact and in good standing. Trade it yourself, move to Money Management, license an algorithm, or re-subscribe for the next cycle.

04

Money Management

What does it cost?

Nothing upfront — pure profit share. You keep 67% on monthly payouts, 50% on weekly, or 30% on daily. Faster cycles demand more trading precision and infrastructure, which is why the split scales with the schedule.

What runs on my account?

Our proprietary algorithms — the same systems behind 16,000+ logged trades — tuned to your firm's drawdown and consistency rules before the first trade is placed. Risk is monitored around the clock.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No lock-in, no cancellation fee. We close any open positions cleanly, disconnect, and the account — fully intact — is yours.

05

Trading Bots

What am I buying for $2,300?

A lifetime license to one of our proprietary MT5 expert advisors — fully automated, with lifetime updates and white-glove setup. You keep 100% of the profits it generates on your account.

Can I see performance before buying?

Yes — that's the point. Win rates, profit factors, drawdown profiles, and month-by-month P&L across 16,000+ logged trades are shared before purchase, not after.

License or Money Management — which is better?

Licensing: pay once, keep everything, run it your way. Management: pay nothing upfront, we run everything for a profit share. High-volume traders tend to license; hands-off clients go managed.

06

Payments & trust

Do you ever hold my money?

Never. Prop firms pay you directly to your own bank or wallet. Success fees and profit shares are settled after your money lands — everything is verifiable on your side, every step.

Is there a minimum payout?

We target a $250 minimum per payout cycle on managed accounts. Actual amounts depend on your firm's profit split, account size, and market conditions in the cycle.

Are results guaranteed?

No — and be wary of anyone who says otherwise. Trading involves risk and past performance does not guarantee future results. What we offer is a published track record, aligned incentives, and a payout wall you can read for yourself.
