Rules

Instant funded accounts skip the evaluation step entirely. You start trading funded capital from day one — there is no profit target to hit before you're funded.

1-Step accounts have a single profit target of 9%. Reach it and close all open positions to move straight to your funded account — there is no Step 2.

Example: On a $50,000 account, you need to grow your balance to $54,500 and close all positions to pass.

2-Step accounts require 9% profit in Step 1 and 6% profit in Step 2 before the account is funded. Once each target is reached, close all open positions to advance.

Example: On a $50,000 account, Step 1 requires growing your balance to $54,500 (9%). In Step 2, a further 6% gain closes out the evaluation and moves you to your funded account.

Legacy Futures Step 1 accounts have a profit target of 6% to reach before the account is funded. Reach it and close all open positions to move straight to your funded account — there is no Step 2.

Example: On a $50,000 account, you need to grow your balance to $53,000 and close all positions to pass.

Standard Futures Step 1 accounts have a profit target of 5% to reach before the account is funded. Reach it and close all open positions to move straight to your funded account — there is no Step 2.

Example: On a $50,000 account, you need to grow your balance to $52,500 and close all positions to pass.

Premium Futures Step 1 accounts have a profit target of 6% to reach before the account is funded. Reach it and close all open positions to move straight to your funded account — there is no Step 2.

Example: On a $50,000 account, you need to grow your balance to $53,000 and close all positions to pass.

1-Step FX accounts have a daily drawdown of 3%. If your equity drops more than this amount in a single day, the account is breached. It resets every day at UTC 0000 and is calculated from your equity at that time.

Example: On a $50,000 account with 3% daily drawdown ($1,500), if your equity is $52,000 at UTC 0000, your equity must not fall below $50,500 at any point during that day.

2-Step FX accounts have a daily drawdown of 5%. If your equity drops more than this amount in a single day, the account is breached. It resets every day at UTC 0000 and is calculated from your equity at that time.

Example 1: On a $50,000 account with 5% daily drawdown ($2,500), if your equity is $52,000 at UTC 0000, your equity must not fall below $49,500 at any point during that day.

Example 2: On a $50,000 account with 5% daily drawdown ($2,500), if your equity is $54,000 at UTC 0000, your floor is $51,500. You lose $2,000 during the day, no breach. The next day resets at UTC 0000 with equity of $52,000, so your new floor is $49,500.

Instant funded accounts do not have daily drawdown.

Futures accounts do not have daily drawdown.

2-Step FX accounts have a static max. drawdown of 10%. This is a fixed percentage of your starting balance. It never moves up, no matter how high your balance grows. If your equity drops below this level, the account is breached.

Example: A $100,000 account with a 10% max. drawdown has a floor at $90,000. If your equity drops to $90,000 or below at any point, the account is breached.

1-Step accounts have an End-of-Day (EoD) trailing max. drawdown of 5%. The drawdown floor starts below your initial balance. At the end of each day (UTC 0000), it only trails up if your account has reached a new highest recorded equity or balance. It never moves down. Once the floor reaches +2% above your initial balance, it stops trailing and becomes fixed.

Example 1: Starting balance = $100,000, EoD trailing max. drawdown = $5,000. Your floor starts at $95,000. After a few days your account closes at $104,000 at UTC 0000, a new reference high, so the floor moves up to $99,000. Your account then dips to $101,000 during the next day. No breach, since $101,000 is above $99,000.

Example 2: Same account. Over time your equity reaches $108,000 at end of day, a new reference high. The ceiling for the floor is +2% of initial balance = $102,000. The drawdown floor locks at $102,000 and never trails higher. If your equity later drops to $101,990, which is below the $102,000 floor, then account is breached.

Example 3: Starting balance = $50,000, max. drawdown = $2,500. Your floor starts at $47,500. On Day 1 your account closes at $51,000 at UTC 0000, a new reference high, so the floor moves to $48,500. On Day 2 your account drops to $49,500 at end of day. This is not a new high, so the floor stays at $48,500. On Day 3 your account closes at $52,500, a new reference high, so the floor moves up to $50,000. The ceiling is +2% of initial balance = $51,000. The floor will keep trailing until it reaches $51,000, then it locks permanently.

Legacy Futures accounts have an End-of-Day (EoD) trailing max. drawdown of 3%. The drawdown floor starts below your initial balance. At the end of each day (UTC 0000), it only trails up if your account has reached a new highest recorded equity or balance. It never moves down. Once the floor reaches +2% above your initial balance, it stops trailing and becomes fixed.

Example 1: Starting balance = $100,000, EoD trailing max. drawdown = $3,000. Your floor starts at $97,000. Your account closes at $104,000 at UTC 0000, a new reference high, so the floor moves up to $101,000. The ceiling for the floor is +2% of initial balance = $102,000, so the floor can trail up to that point and no further.

Example 2: Same account. Over time your equity reaches $110,000 at end of day, a new reference high. The floor moves to the ceiling, +2% of initial balance = $102,000, and locks there permanently. If your equity later drops to $101,990, which is below the $102,000 floor, then account is breached.

Example 3: Starting balance = $50,000, max. drawdown = $1,500. Your floor starts at $48,500. On Day 1 your account closes at $51,000 at UTC 0000, a new reference high, so the floor moves to $49,500. On Day 2 your account drops to $49,700 at end of day. This is not a new high, so the floor stays at $49,500. On Day 3 your account closes at $52,000, a new reference high, so the floor moves up to $50,500. The ceiling is +2% of initial balance = $51,000. The floor will keep trailing until it reaches $51,000, then it locks permanently.

Standard Futures accounts have an End-of-Day (EoD) trailing max. drawdown of 3%. The drawdown floor starts below your initial balance. At the end of each day (UTC 0000), it only trails up if your account has reached a new highest recorded equity or balance. It never moves down. Once the floor reaches your initial balance (0% ceiling above it), it stops trailing and becomes fixed.

Example: Starting balance = $100,000, EoD trailing max. drawdown = $3,000. Your floor starts at $97,000. Your account closes at $101,000 at UTC 0000, a new reference high, so the floor moves up to $98,000. Your account later closes at $103,000, another new high, so the floor moves to $100,000, the ceiling, and locks there permanently. Once locked, the floor never moves again even if your balance grows further.

Premium Futures accounts have an End-of-Day (EoD) trailing max. drawdown of 4%. The drawdown floor starts below your initial balance. At the end of each day (UTC 0000), it only trails up if your account has reached a new highest recorded equity or balance. It never moves down. Once the floor reaches your initial balance (0% ceiling above it), it stops trailing and becomes fixed.

Example: Starting balance = $100,000, EoD trailing max. drawdown = $4,000. Your floor starts at $96,000. Your account closes at $101,000 at UTC 0000, a new reference high, so the floor moves up to $97,000. Your account later closes at $104,000, another new high, so the floor moves to $100,000, the ceiling, and locks there permanently.

Instant funded accounts have an End-of-Day (EoD) trailing max. drawdown of 5%. The drawdown floor starts below your initial balance. At the end of each day (UTC 0000), it only trails up if your account has reached a new highest recorded equity or balance. It never moves down. Once the floor reaches +2% above your initial balance, it stops trailing and becomes fixed.

Example 1: Starting balance = $100,000, EoD trailing max. drawdown = $5,000. Your floor starts at $95,000. After a few days your account closes at $104,000 at UTC 0000, a new reference high, so the floor moves up to $99,000. Your account then dips to $101,000 during the next day. No breach, since $101,000 is above $99,000.

Example 2: Same account. Over time your equity reaches $108,000 at end of day, a new reference high. The ceiling for the floor is +2% of initial balance = $102,000. The drawdown floor locks at $102,000 and never trails higher. If your equity later drops to $101,990, which is below the $102,000 floor, then account is breached.

Example 3: Starting balance = $50,000, max. drawdown = $2,500. Your floor starts at $47,500. On Day 1 your account closes at $51,000 at UTC 0000, a new reference high, so the floor moves to $48,500. On Day 2 your account drops to $49,500 at end of day. This is not a new high, so the floor stays at $48,500. On Day 3 your account closes at $52,500, a new reference high, so the floor moves up to $50,000. The ceiling is +2% of initial balance = $51,000. The floor will keep trailing until it reaches $51,000, then it locks permanently.

Shield Protection: to reward consistent performance, your account receives an additional 0.5% drawdown shield for every 4th qualifying reward claimed, where a qualifying reward is a reward of at least $50 or 2% of the initial account balance, whichever is greater. The shield is added to your Maximum Drawdown allowance and can accumulate up to a maximum of 2% additional drawdown protection, creating a gradual buffer before a drawdown breach can occur.

Example: A trader starts with a 5% Maximum Drawdown allowance. After claiming their 4th qualifying reward, their drawdown allowance increases to 5.5%. After the 8th, 12th, and 16th qualifying rewards, it increases to 6.0%, 6.5%, and 7.0% respectively, reaching the maximum Shield Protection of +2%.

1-Step and 2-Step accounts do not have a Consistency Rule. There is no cap on how much of your profit can come from a single day.

Instant funded accounts skip the evaluation phase, so the Consistency Rule does not apply.

40% Consistency Rule: Your Best Day Profit cannot exceed 40% of your Total Closed Profit. Only closed trades are included in this calculation.

If your Best Day Profit exceeds the 40% limit, your account will not fail. But you must increase your Total Closed Profit to bring this ratio below 40% in order to pass or request a reward.

Example 1: $100,000 account. Total Closed Profit = $10,000. Best Day Profit = $3,000. Consistency = ($3,000 ÷ $10,000) × 100 = 30%. Since 30% is below 40%, you are consistent and can pass or request a reward.

Example 2: $50,000 account. Total Closed Profit = $5,000. Best Day Profit = $3,000. Consistency = 60%. Not consistent yet. If Total Closed Profit grows to $8,000 while Best Day stays at $3,000, new Consistency = 37.5%. Now below 40%, consistent, can pass or request a reward.

40% Consistency Rule: Your Best Day Profit cannot exceed 40% of your Total Closed Profit. Once funded, this is calculated cumulatively across all reward cycles since the account went funded, not reset at the start of each cycle. Only closed trades are included in this calculation.

If your Best Day Profit exceeds the 40% limit, your account will not fail. But you must increase your Total Closed Profit to bring this ratio below 40% in order to pass or request a reward.

Example (funded, across cycles): You gain $10,000 in Cycle 1, with a Best Day of $3,000. You withdraw $2,000, so $8,000 carries forward into Cycle 2. In Cycle 2 you gain another $5,000, with a Best Day of $4,000. Total Closed Profit = $8,000 + $5,000 = $13,000. Best Day Profit (the highest single day across the whole funded period) = $4,000. Consistency = ($4,000 ÷ $13,000) × 100 = 30.8% — still under 40%, consistent.

Premium accounts use a two-phase Consistency Rule. During Step 1, your Best Day Profit cannot exceed 51% of your Total Closed Profit. Once funded, that limit tightens to 40% — calculated cumulatively across all reward cycles since the account went funded, not reset at the start of each cycle. Only closed trades are included in this calculation.

If your Best Day Profit exceeds the applicable limit, your account will not fail. But you must increase your Total Closed Profit to bring the ratio back under the limit in order to pass or request a reward.

Example (Step 1): Total Closed Profit = $10,000. Best Day Profit = $4,800. Consistency = 48%. Below the 51% Step 1 limit, so you are consistent and can pass.

Example (funded, across cycles): Cycle 1 profit is $8,000 with a Best Day of $3,000. Cycle 2 adds $6,000 more profit, with a Best Day of $2,500 in that cycle. Measured across both cycles combined, Total Closed Profit = $14,000 and Best Day Profit (the highest single day across the whole funded period) = $3,000. Consistency = ($3,000 ÷ $14,000) × 100 = 21.4% — under the 40% funded limit, consistent.

Minimum Profitable Days Rule: you must trade on at least 6 distinct profitable days to pass a step or request a reward. A day counts as profitable only if your closed profit for that day is at least 1% of your initial account balance.

Example 1: Initial balance $50,000. You trade 10 days, 7 of which have more than $500 (1% of $50,000) closed profit. 7 > 6 required, you pass.

Example 2: Same account, but only 5 days exceed $500. 5 < 6 required. You need at least 1 more profitable day with minimum $500 in closed profit.

Minimum Profitable Days Rule: you must trade on at least 4 distinct profitable days to request a reward. A day counts as profitable only if your closed profit for that day is at least 1% of your initial account balance.

Example: Initial balance $50,000. You trade 8 days, 5 of which have more than $500 (1% of $50,000) closed profit. 5 > 4 required, you can request a reward.

Futures accounts do not have a minimum profitable days requirement.

Standard Futures Step 1 accounts do not have a minimum profitable days requirement. Once funded, you must trade on at least 5 distinct profitable days to request a reward. A day counts as profitable only if your closed profit for that day is at least 0.5% of your initial account balance.

Example: Funded account with $100,000 initial balance. You trade 12 days, 6 of which have more than $500 (0.5% of $100,000) closed profit. 6 > 5 required, you can request a reward.

• After a losing streak: The total notional volume of any new position(s) may not exceed 2x the notional volume of the single largest losing trade within that streak.
• Aggregation: Multiple orders opened near-simultaneously that logically form a single position will be aggregated for calculation purposes.

Our platform implements strict controls on high-frequency trading (HFT) and rapid transaction execution to mitigate latency arbitrage, harmful order flow, and potentially abusive execution practices. Violating rules will result in profit deduction acquired for these trades.

Scalping Profit Cap (Standard & Premium)

No more than 30% of your Total Closed Profit may come from trades held under 10 seconds. Any profit above that 30% threshold is deducted.

Example: Total Closed Profit = $10,000. Profit from trades under 10 seconds = $2,000 (20%). Below the 30% threshold, no deduction. If that figure were $4,000 (40%) instead, the profit above the 30% threshold — $1,000 — would be deducted.

• Overleveraging (OL)
• News Trading (NEWS)
• Martingale (MGTL)
• High-Frequency Trading (HFT)
• Early-stage gambling behavior (non-systematic)
• Minor or borderline risk rule violations
• Practices where the behavior is not clearly abusive and the trader shows potential to correct their approach.

• A formal warning and/or profit deduction from account balance.
• If subtracting the violating profit causes equity to drop below the daily drawdown limit, the funded account will be terminated immediately and no further rewards will be paid.
• Example: Trader submits $10,000 reward request (100%) → Violation amount (overleveraging + Martingale): $4,000 → Adjusted reward: $6,000 (100%) → Trader profit split: $4,930

• Copy trading
• Hedging between accounts
• Arbitrage
• Account management (third-party trading)
• Gambling / all-or-nothing behavior

• Immediate suspension of all trading accounts
• Full offboarding including platform/dashboard access revoked
• Refund issued only for accounts in positive balance (where applicable)
• Removal from Discord and all communication channels
• Severe or repeated violations may result in immediate account termination regardless of any pending reward request.

Traders can request a reward at the end of each reward cycle, once their profits reach a minimum of $50 on the funded account. Specifically for instant funded account, minimum withdrawable reward is $50 or 2% of initial balance, whichever is maximum among these two amounts.

Legacy Futures accounts can request a reward at the end of each reward cycle once the account has closed profit — see Reward Cap for the maximum payout per account tier.

You must gain at least 1% profit in the current cycle before you're eligible to request a payout, and the minimum payout amount is 1% of your initial account balance.

There is no reward cap on FX challenges — you can request a reward of any size. A scalable profit split system applies (see Reward Split rule).

FX Giveaway accounts received from a promotion or tournament prize are limited to a single reward.

Unless otherwise stated in the relevant tournament or promotion, all accounts awarded as tournament prizes or through promotional free giveaways are issued as default 1-Step Accounts with the following configuration: 9% Profit Target, 3% Daily Drawdown, 5% End-of-Day Maximum Drawdown, 40% Consistency Rule, 15-day reward frequency, no news trading, and leverage of up to 1:75.

Maximum rewards per funded account until cooldown: 10 rewards or $20,000 total, whichever comes first. Please read below about cooldown.

This cap applies to 10 payouts in total, or the first 3 payouts from a single account, whichever is reached first. This is counted from your last cooldown or live-transition, or from your purchase date if neither has ever happened.

Once you reach 10 payouts in total or 3 payouts from one account, you are either moved to cooldown or promoted to go live. Please read below about cooldown.

This cap applies to 10 payouts in total, or the first 3 payouts from a single account, whichever is reached first. This is counted from your last cooldown or live-transition, or from your purchase date if neither has ever happened.

Once you reach 10 payouts in total or 3 payouts from one account, you are either moved to cooldown or promoted to go live. Please read below about cooldown.

Each cycle, only 50% of your accumulated profit is withdrawable. The remaining 50% is carried forward into the next cycle rather than paid out.

Example: You have $2,000 in accumulated profit at the end of a cycle. You can withdraw $1,000 (50%). The remaining $1,000 carries forward and adds to whatever profit you accumulate in the next cycle.

This does not apply to your plan — the full requested reward amount is paid out, subject to the Reward Cap and Reward Split rules.

All traders are subject to review by the risk team. This review examines account history, trading patterns, and checks for any rule violations.

The risk team reserves the right to place a trader on a 30-day cooldown at any time, including before reaching the reward limit, if there is evidence of account churning or if the trader has reached the maximum of 10 rewards or $20,000 in total rewards for the cycle. During the cooldown period, trading will be suspended and all accounts will be disabled.

After the 30-day cooldown, the trader may re-enter the cycle and purchase additional accounts if desired. Funded accounts will be automatically unblocked on calendar day 30.

This does not apply to FX accounts.

After every 4th reward of at least 1% profit, your FX funded account receives an additional 10% of your base account size in funding. Maximum scale: $200,000 or 5 times, whichever is reached first.

Example 1: $100,000 funded account. After 4th reward → +10% → $110,000. After 8th reward → $120,000, and so on.

Example 2: $150,000 funded account. After 4th → $165,000. After 8th → $180,000. Scaling stops at $195,000 (5x limit reached before $200,000 cap).

For every 5% profit achieved, your Instant Plan account becomes eligible for a $1,000 account balance increase, which will be applied at the start of the next reward cycle. Scaling milestones can be achieved at any time, including after the first reward cycle, allowing the account to scale by $1,000 increments up to $10,000.

Example: $1,000 funded account. After gaining 5% profit and requesting a reward → +$1000 increase in balance for next cycle → $2,000 balance in next cycle. Maximum increments upto $10,000.

Futures accounts do not have a scaling plan.

Once a funded account is started, the first reward can be requested after 15 days. If a trader is in a loss but has not breached the account, there is no restriction or cycle forcing them to reset — they can take as much time as needed to return to profitability. The reward cycle only resets when a trader actually requests a reward.

Example: Trader starts funded account on Day 0. Eligible to request a reward on Day 15. If they keep trading without requesting, nothing changes. Even on Day 45 nothing changes until they choose to request. If a reward is requested on Day 50, the cycle resets and the next 14-day window begins from that point.

Futures funded accounts become eligible for their first reward after 10 days, and can request a reward every 10 days thereafter, subject to the reward cap and cooldown conditions (see Reward Cap and Cooldown).

Instant Funded accounts become eligible for their first reward request after 15 days, with subsequent reward requests available every 10 days thereafter. Traders who maintain their Instant Funded account in good standing for 60 days unlock daily reward withdrawals, providing faster and more flexible access to earned rewards.
