Trading rules

These are all the rules that can end, pause or pay out an account.

Drawdown

  • Max loss is static: 10% of the starting balance, or 15% with the option. It never trails profit.
  • Daily loss is 4% of the starting balance, measured from the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 UTC.
  • Both limits are checked against equity (balance plus open PnL, including fees). Reaching a limit closes all positions.

Evaluation

  • Phase 1: +9% profit in at least 4 trading days. No time limit.
  • Phase 2: +5% profit in at least 4 trading days. The balance resets to 100% at the start.
  • Leverage up to 1:50 on crypto and FX.

Funded account and payouts

  • Profit split is 80%, or 90% with the option or from your second consecutive payout.
  • First payout 14 days after your first Funded trade, then every 14 days.
  • Each of the first three payouts is capped at 6% of the account size.
  • Consistency: no single day above 35% of withdrawn profit. This delays the payout but never fails the account.
  • A single trade without a stop-loss may not risk more than 2% of the account.
  • The base challenge fee is refunded with your first payout.
  • Leverage up to 1:30.

Protection and fair play

  • Tilt Guard: a 3% loss within 2 hours pauses new orders for 30 minutes.
  • Opposite positions on the same asset across linked accounts are not allowed.
  • Up to 5 active accounts per trader. Merged capital is capped at $200,000.

Frequently asked questions

Do I trade real money?

No. All accounts, both evaluation and Funded, are simulated accounts that use live market prices. When you reach the Funded stage, payouts are real: 80–90% of your simulated profit, paid in USDT.

How does the daily loss limit work?

At 00:00 UTC we record the higher of your balance and equity. Your limit for the day is that value minus 4% of your starting balance. It is checked against equity, including open positions.

Is the max loss trailing?

No. The max loss is static and calculated from your starting balance. Profit only increases your buffer.

When can I request a payout?

14 days after your first trade on the Funded account, and every 14 days after that. Each of the first three payouts is capped at 6% of the account size.

What is the consistency rule?

On a Funded account, no single trading day can make up more than 35% of the profit you withdraw. It never fails your account; you can keep trading until the profit is balanced.

What can I trade?

Major crypto pairs and FX, with up to 1:50 leverage during the evaluation and up to 1:30 on Funded accounts.

How do I pay?

You can pay with USDT and other major stablecoins. Your account is issued as soon as the payment is confirmed.
