The desk behind the evaluations
Who we are, where we are registered, and the numbers you can check before you trust us with a payout.
A trading desk that decided to publish its rule book
Meridian Desk was founded in 2019 by four traders who had between them failed nine evaluations at firms whose rules changed mid-programme. We built the opposite: a versioned rule set printed on every licence, a payout cycle that runs on a calendar rather than a mood, and a registered office you can look up at Companies House. We have paid $41.2 million to 3,860 traders across seven years and have never restated a rule on an account already sold.
What we are here to do
Make the terms of a trading evaluation as legible as the terms of a mortgage. Every objective, every loss line and every payout condition is published, numbered and dated before anyone pays, and the version you bought is the version you are judged under until you choose otherwise.
Where this is going
As regulators formalise where proprietary firms sit, the firms that survive will be the ones whose disclosures were already written. We are building toward audited payout reporting, published pass and breach rates by programme, and an independently verified statement of total distributions each quarter.
Our Values
Published, not promised
Every objective and breach rule is visible before purchase, versioned, and frozen for the life of the account.
Paid on a calendar
Day 14, every cycle. 98.4% of first requests approved the same business day, median 19 hours to funds.
A real address
A registered UK company with a filed office address, a VAT number and a named complaints route.
No income promises
We publish what has been paid. We never project what you will earn, because nobody honestly can.

What funded traders say when nobody asks for a rating
Four years, no rule has ever moved under me. That sentence should be boring and in this industry it is not.

I read the breach email, saw the exact tick and the exact line, and had nothing to argue with. That is the whole point.

The registered address is on the footer and it is a real building. I checked it before I paid, and I would again.

Read the rules, then decide
The full objective table, the breach arithmetic and the payout schedule are all on the public pages. Nothing is behind a signup.

Trading leveraged instruments carries a high level of risk and can result in the loss of all of your capital. Leverage magnifies losses as readily as gains, and the majority of retail accounts trading CFDs lose money. Do not commit funds you cannot afford to lose, and do not treat an evaluation fee as an investment.
Every Meridian Desk Evaluation, Verification and funded account operates on a demo server with virtual funds. No client money is ever deposited with us, no live order is ever routed to a market on your behalf, and the balances shown in your dashboard are simulated. What you purchase is access to a performance assessment and, on passing it, a share of the simulated profit produced under our published rules.
Meridian Desk is not a broker, not an investment firm and not an asset manager. We do not accept deposits for trading, do not manage client capital and give no personal recommendation or investment advice. Nothing on this site is a solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument, and no past payout figure is a forecast of any future result.
Evaluation programmes are not offered to residents of the United States, Canada, or any territory subject to UK, EU, UN or OFAC sanctions. The full and current list of restricted jurisdictions forms part of the Terms of Business and is updated when sanctions change. Identity verification is mandatory before any payout is released.
All evaluation and funded accounts are demo accounts holding fictitious funds. 18+ only. Past payouts are not a promise of future earnings.
Simulated environment
Evaluation, Verification and the funded desk all run on demo servers with virtual balances. Your profit share is calculated on simulated performance under the published rule set.
Read the rule bookNot a broker
We hold no client funds, execute no client orders and provide no personalised advice. Meridian Desk sells a fixed-price assessment product, nothing more.
About the deskKYC and AML
Government ID and proof of address are verified before a first payout, under our anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist-financing obligations. Payouts are released only to an account in the trader’s own name.
Verification stepsRestricted jurisdictions
Not available to residents of the United States, Canada or sanctioned territories. Attempting to register from a restricted territory voids the evaluation without refund.
