Sway Funded provides access to 245–300+ tradeable instruments across six asset classes on Liquid Charts. That's a wide library for a Forex-primary prop firm — the crypto perpetuals selection in particular stands out with 160+ USDT contracts.

This guide covers each asset class, the leverage available per category, how pricing works, and the practical reality of what most prop traders actually use within this instrument range.

Full Instrument Overview by Asset Class

Forex: The Core Offering

Forex is where the majority of Sway Funded traders operate. The pair coverage is comprehensive:

• Major pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF, AUD/USD, USD/CAD, NZD/USD
• Minor pairs: EUR/GBP, EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, and others
• Exotic pairs: Pairs involving currencies like TRY, ZAR, NOK, SEK, and others with wider spreads

Leverage of 1:50 on Rapid and Regular accounts is strong for prop trading. On a $50,000 account, 1:50 leverage gives you notional exposure of up to $2.5 million — far more than you'd typically use under controlled risk management.

The practical Forex trading setup at Sway Funded: ECN pricing with spreads starting from 0.0 pips plus $7 per lot commission. On majors during liquid hours, actual spreads typically run in the 0.1–0.5 pip range. On exotics, spreads widen considerably and the $7 commission becomes a smaller percentage of total cost relative to the wider spread.

Gold and Commodities

Gold (XAUUSD) is one of the most commonly traded instruments at Forex prop firms, and Sway Funded is no different. With 1:20 leverage on a $50,000 account, you can control $1 million in gold notional — but you rarely want to be anywhere near that exposure given the volatility.

Gold averages roughly $20–30 daily range in dollar terms per ounce. On a 1-lot position (which equals 100 troy ounces in standard Forex contract terms), that's $2,000–$3,000 per day movement range. Against a 5% daily drawdown limit on a $10,000 account ($500), you can trade very small fractions of a lot on gold — think 0.01–0.05 lots depending on your stop distance.

Other commodities available include WTI crude oil, Brent crude, and silver. The commodity selection supports traders who follow macro-driven setups around energy, metals, and risk-off periods.

Indices: Global Market Access

Sway Funded's index offering covers major global indices. The primary ones most traders use:

• US markets: S&P 500 (SPX500 or equivalent ticker), NASDAQ 100, Dow Jones
• European markets: Germany's DAX, UK's FTSE 100
• Asian markets: Japan's Nikkei

Indices trade at 1:20 leverage on Rapid and Regular accounts. Index volatility varies significantly by session — US indices are most volatile during the New York open (2:30 PM London / 9:30 AM EST) and around major economic releases.

For traders running session-based strategies, indices during the US open session offer some of the cleanest directional moves available in the instrument library. The intraday trailing drawdown at Sway Funded suits this setup well — you're not penalized for not trading during slow Asian hours, and you can focus your risk on high-probability windows.

Stocks/Shares

Individual company stocks are available at 1:10 leverage. This is the lowest leverage tier in the instrument library, which reflects the higher single-name risk of individual equities versus diversified indices or liquid Forex pairs.

Stocks at prop firms are niche territory. Most traders avoid them unless they have a specific edge in equity markets. The 1:10 leverage limit means you need more capital deployed per trade to generate meaningful returns as a percentage of the account, which creates tension with tight drawdown limits.

If you're a stocks trader specifically, verify the exact company list available in Liquid Charts before choosing Sway Funded. The firm's focus and marketing is clearly Forex-primary, and the stock selection may or may not include the specific names you trade.

Crypto Spot

Crypto spot pairs on Sway Funded are the straightforward buy/sell ownership model — you're trading the current market price of BTC, ETH, and other cryptocurrencies.

Pricing is a 0.035% fee per trade (not the standard Forex lot commission model). On a $10,000 BTC spot position, that's $3.50 per side. Leverage is 1:10.

Crypto spot operates differently from perpetuals in terms of funding costs. There's no perpetual funding rate to worry about — you're just paying the entry and exit fee. For traders who want crypto exposure without perpetual mechanics, spot is the cleaner instrument.

Crypto Perpetuals: The 160+ Contract Library

The crypto perpetuals offering is the standout in the Sway Funded instrument range. 160+ USDT-denominated perpetual contracts covers the major coins and a significant long tail of altcoins.

Contracts available include: BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, ADA, DOT, LINK, UNI, AVAX, TON, and many more. The full list in your Liquid Charts account via Instrument Info is the authoritative source.

For BTC and ETH specifically, there are also cent contract versions: BTCUSDTPERP.cent and ETHUSDTPERP.cent. These contracts are denominated in smaller units, allowing traders to execute positions much smaller than a standard contract — critical for challenge accounts where you need to control risk tightly.

Perpetual contracts charge 0.04% of notional per trade. There are also funding rates — periodic payments between long and short positions that reflect the spread between perpetual price and spot price. Funding rates can be positive or negative and switch based on market positioning. For trades held over multiple funding periods, this becomes a cost (or income) component to factor into your calculations.

I cover perpetuals in full detail in the dedicated crypto perpetuals guide.

Most Popular Instruments at Forex Prop Firms

Based on broader prop trading community data (not Sway Funded-specific), the most commonly traded instruments at Forex prop firms in 2026 are:

1. EUR/USD — tightest spreads, most liquid, deepest community analysis available

2. Gold (XAUUSD) — high volatility creates large point moves; popular with momentum traders
