Trading rules · v1.0 · effective 1 Sep 2026

The limits are visible.

Every rule that can end an evaluation or a funded account, with the exact number and a worked example on a $100,000 account. Nothing here is hidden in the terms.

01 · Parameters

All six numbers, per program.

$100K account 2-Step · Ph 1 2-Step · Ph 2 1-Step
Performance target
Daily loss limit
Maximum loss
Loss floor
Minimum trading days 3 3 3
Time limit None None None

Dollar values are for the selected account size. On 1-Step, sizes start at $25K. Funded accounts keep the loss limits of their program with no profit target.

02 · Daily loss limit

−5% of the day's opening balance.

Measured on equity, including open positions. The day starts at 00:00 server time and the limit is recalculated from the balance at that moment. If equity touches the floor at any point, the account is closed.

Worked example

Day opens at $100,000. Floor is $95,000. You are up $1,200 by noon, then a position runs to −$6,300 floating. Equity is $94,900 — the account is closed, even though nothing was realised.

$100,000 DAY OPEN · 00:00 server time $95,000 DAILY FLOOR · −5% BREACH · $94,900 +$1,200
$100,000 $90,000 FLOOR · −10% · NEVER MOVES EQUITY $108,600

03 · Maximum loss

Static on 2-Step. Trailing on 1-Step.

2-Step: −10% static. The floor is fixed at 90% of the initial balance and never moves, however high your equity climbs.

1-Step: −6% trailing. The floor follows your highest equity, including open positions, at a 6% distance. It only ever moves up and never locks at the initial balance

Worked example · 1-Step

Equity peaks at $104,000: the floor is $97,760. Equity rises to $110,000: the floor is $103,400. If equity then falls to $103,400 the account fails — above its $100,000 starting size. The floor never stops trailing.

04 · News window

±5 minutes. First breach voids it. Second closes the account.

Opening, closing, or executing an order — including a stop-loss, take-profit, or pending order — within five minutes either side of a high-impact release on our calendar is a breach. It applies regardless of when the position was opened. First breach is a soft breach: the trade is voided. Second breach of this rule on the same account is a hard breach: all results on the account are voided and the account is closed.

Worked example

NFP at 12:30 UTC. Restricted window: 12:25–12:35. A stop-loss triggered at 12:31 on a position opened at 09:00 is a breach — voided, first offense. A new entry at 12:34 is a second breach — the account is closed.

12:30 · RELEASE 12:25 12:35 OPEN 09:00 · OK SL HIT 12:31 · Soft Breach NEW ENTRY 12:34 · Hard Breach 12:40 · OK

05 · Performance target & trading days

Reach the target. Trade at least three days. No clock.

+10%

Phase 1 target

Closed and floating profit counted on equity at the end of the trading day.

+5%

Phase 2 target (2-Step only)

Same loss limits as Phase 1. Pass, and the funded account is issued within 48 hours.

3 days

Minimum trading days

A trading day is any UTC day with at least one closed position. Applies per phase.

None

Time limit

No deadline to reach the target. Accounts with no trades for 30 days are archived and can be reactivated from the dashboard.

A trading day is a calendar day by server time closed with a simulated result of at least 0.5% of the balance at the start of that day. A smaller, zero or negative result does not count. At least 3 trading days are required in each evaluation phase and 3 on the funded account before the first Reward. The target is met when the balance, with all positions closed, is at or above the account size plus the target.
