Trading rules · v1.0 · effective 1 Sep 2026
Loss limits, the news window, targets, payouts and account growth — with the exact number and a worked example on a $100,000 account. Risk limits and prohibited strategies are set out in the FAQ, section “Trading rules”.
01 · Parameters
Dollar values are for the selected account size; the daily loss limit is shown for a day that opens at the starting balance. Funded accounts keep the loss limits of their program with no profit target.
02 · Daily loss limit
Measured on equity, including open positions. The day starts at 00:00 server time. Server time is UTC. Your dashboard shows the time remaining until the next reset. On 2-Step the limit is 5% of your balance at that moment, and the floor for the day is that balance minus the limit. On 1-Step the limit is 3% of the higher of your balance and your equity at the start of the trading day, recalculated at every daily reset. If equity touches the floor at any point, the account is closed.
Worked example
Day opens at $100,000. The limit is $5,000 and the 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. On a day that opens at $102,000 the limit is $5,100 and the floor is $96,900. On a $10,000 1-Step account that opens the day at $9,974.95, the limit is $299.25.
03 · Maximum loss
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
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. The trade is voided: any profit on it is removed from your results and any loss stays. Repeated breaches may be escalated and can lead to closure of the account.
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 — the trade is voided: profit removed, loss kept. A new entry at 12:34 is another breach — also voided.
05 · Performance target & trading days
+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 day counts only with a result of at least 0.5% of the day’s opening balance, by server time. 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.

08 · Account growth & caps
Review cadence
Once a quarter, on all funded accounts with a clean record, four paid rewards and a net-positive quarter.
Step sizes
×1.25, ×1.5, ×2 of the starting balance. A $25,000 account moves to $31,250, $37,500, then $50,000.
Allocation cap
$200,000 in total across all your funded accounts. Growth stops at the cap for everyone.
Discretion
An increase is a decision we make, not an entitlement. Meeting the conditions does not guarantee one.
They are the same at checkout, in the dashboard and in the agreement. Pick a program and size when you are ready.
