Trading rules, in plain English
These are the exact rules our risk engine monitors on every account. Know them before you trade — they're the same on the dashboard and at checkout.
The numbers that decide your challenge
Values per program below. Loading…
Profit target
Reach the target on account equity to pass a phase. Evaluation has two targets (Phase 1 / Phase 2). Instant Funding has no target.
Max daily loss
A percentage of the day's starting balance, including floating losses on open trades. Resets every trading day at server midnight.
Max overall loss
A fixed percentage of your initial balance. Your equity must never fall below the initial balance minus this amount.
Minimum trading days
You pass only when the target is reached and the minimum number of trading days is met. Funded accounts also need these days before each payout.
Leverage
Leverage available on each program across challenge and funded stages.
No time limit & weekend holding
Every phase has an unlimited trading period, and you can hold positions over the weekend. Be aware of weekend gaps — a gap that causes a breach is still a breach.
How loss limits are calculated
Loss limits are checked against equity — your balance plus or minus open trades.
- Daily loss uses the balance at the start of the day. If you start the day at $102,000 on a 5% daily limit, today's limit is $5,100 — so equity must stay above $96,900.
- Overall loss is static from your initial balance. On a $100,000 account with a 10% limit, equity must always stay above $90,000.
- Passing happens automatically once equity reaches the target and your minimum trading days are complete.
Example percentages are for illustration only — use the table above or the challenge configurator for your plan's exact values.
Extra rules on funded accounts
Challenge accounts are flexible. Once you're trading our capital, a few additional protections apply.
Stop loss required
Every trade on a funded account must have a stop loss set within 30 seconds of opening. Trades without a stop loss can breach the account.
High-impact news
No opening, closing or holding trades from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after high-impact news. Profits from trades in that window are deducted from your payout.
Minimum trade duration
Trades must stay open for at least 60 seconds. Trades closed faster are flagged, and profits from flagged scalping trades are deducted at payout.
Instant Funding: single trade loss
No single trade may lose more than 2% of the day's starting balance, whether open or closed.
Instant Funding: consistency
At payout, your best trading day may not exceed 30% of your total net profit. This rewards steady performance over one lucky day.
