# Welcome to Hash Hedge

Hash Hedge funds traders: you prove yourself on a Challenge, then trade the company's capital and keep most of what you make. If a Challenge is a new idea to you, read [What is a Challenge](/hashhedge-user-guide/start-here/challenge-what-is.md) first.

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>80–90%</strong></td><td>of the profit is yours</td></tr><tr><td><strong>$5,000–$150,000</strong></td><td>account sizes to choose from</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Every 14 days</strong></td><td>how often you can take a payout</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
**There is no time limit.** A Challenge has no deadline, so you can trade at your own pace. What can end it early is a breached loss limit, not a clock.
{% endhint %}

## How it works

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create an account

It takes under a minute: email, password, done.

[How to register a Hash Hedge account](/hashhedge-user-guide/start-here/create-account.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Buy a Challenge

Pick an account size from $5,000 to $150,000 and pay in USDT or USDC.

[How to buy a Challenge](/hashhedge-user-guide/start-here/buy-challenge.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Pass the evaluation

Reach the profit target in each stage, trade on at least **5 separate days** in that stage, and stay inside the Daily loss and Total loss limits.

[Rules, stages and loss limits](/hashhedge-user-guide/rules/challenge-rules.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Become a Trader

Once you clear the evaluation your account moves to the **Trader** stage straight away. From there you trade a funded account.

[Becoming a Trader](/hashhedge-user-guide/rules/becoming-a-trader.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Take your payout

Withdraw your share in USDT every 14 days, on any of six networks.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hashhedge.gitbook.io/hashhedge-user-guide/start-here/welcome.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
