Responsible Trading

Dominion Funding creates secure, reliable simulated environments promoting responsible trading. Clear expectations guide conduct as if in live market environments.

Traders using simulated accounts must uphold high integrity and professionalism through sound risk management strategies.

This policy educates and guides responsible trading, providing essential effective account management information while avoiding careless or unprofessional practices.

All Dominion Funding traders are expected to approach trading with professionalism, accountability, and respect.

Legitimate trading practices are required; avoid toxic trading, news trading, and unprofessional, unsustainable behaviors conflicting with responsible approaches.

All traders must uphold the highest ethical standards and refrain from activities that exploit or misuse provided resources or accounts.

Avoid evaluation process manipulation practices designed to provide fair, objective performance assessment.

Cautious Trading

Responsible traders recognize that long-term performance comes from thoughtful decisions avoiding impulsive actions, including news event trading avoidance.

News trading is strictly forbidden and intentional engagement leads to account closure, violating Dominion Funding trust.

Make informed decisions through thorough analysis considering broader market context beyond the market itself. Some challenge models may allow news trading, but direct news trading is not invited.

Stacking of Positions

Responsible risk management limits multiple trade stacking. Stacking involves opening additional positions when initial trades move against the account (averaging in) or in the opposite direction (hedging).

Maximum permitted: four (4) open entries in such circumstances. These include trades opened within a time range overlapping another trade on the same symbol, whether kept open in parallel or closed within another trade's range.

Threshold breaching constitutes a violation. The Company reserves the right to withhold or deny reward payouts and may take corrective action including account review, suspension, or termination.

High Frequency Trading

Fair, responsible trading conditions prohibit abusive behavior exploiting provided conditions and infrastructure. Prohibited activities include high-frequency trading (HFT), repeatedly opening/closing orders in short succession, latency arbitrage, server/execution abuse, or patterns designed exploiting platform mechanics rather than expressing genuine trading ideas.

Short Duration Trades

Repeated short-duration trades — positions opened and closed within a very short interval on a recurring basis — are considered a violation of the Responsible Trading framework. Such patterns indicate strategies that rely on execution edge, latency, or platform mechanics rather than genuine market analysis, and are incompatible with the sustainable trading approach Dominion Funding endorses.

Isolated fast exits (for example, a stop-out shortly after entry) are not in scope. What is prohibited is the recurring pattern of brief (up to 60 seconds) holdings across multiple trades or trading days.

Detection is treated in the same manner as other risk-framework breaches: the Company reserves the right to review the account, withhold or deny performance-based payouts, and take corrective action including account suspension or termination.

Trades Per Day

More than fourteen (14) trades within a single trading day is prohibited. First detection issues a warning notification. Repeated occurrences may be treated as compliance concerns regardless of any other identified abusive behavior.

Automated Trading

Automated trading systems, Expert Advisors (EAs), or bots are permitted operating under human-like logic and decision-making patterns like risk management automation or realistic manual trading behavior mirroring.

Bot-based strategies relying on numerous daily positions, grid systems, scalping algorithms, or latency-exploitative methods are disallowed.

Effective Risk Management

Avoid overtrading or excessive positioning risk. Apply strong risk management strategies maintaining realistic expectations. Set clear profit targets and stop-loss levels, adjusting position sizes accordingly.

Strategies should base on market directionality; reversing positions from buy-to-sell within minutes is disallowed.

Large positions and high-risk exposure lead to detrimental outcomes, particularly after loss series. Traders tempted toward larger positions recovering losses represents an emotional approach contradicting sound practices that Dominion Funding does not endorse.

Cautious, risk-conscious approaches are key to long-term success. Even experienced traders typically follow low-risk strategies ensuring stable, consistent simulated returns.

Prioritizing risk management and avoiding reckless trading is essential for account preservation.

When initial positions are in drawdown, traders may open only one additional position on the same instrument at a worse price than the initial trade. The new position lot size must not exceed the original trade lot size.

This restriction applies exclusively to worse-priced trades while the initial position remains in drawdown. Multiple trades or lot size increases constitute excessive risk exposure violating the platform's Responsible Trading Guidelines.

Simultaneous buy/sell positions on the same symbol are disallowed.

Profit Concentration Review

At the point of a payout request, if a single trade accounts for more than 60% of the account's total realized simulated profit, the payout will be subject to a review before it is processed. This threshold identifies simulated profit that may originate from an isolated outsized entry rather than a repeatable, risk-managed approach.

The review considers whether the trade in question was the outcome of a documented strategy or a one-off directional guess. Where the trade is judged to be a lucky shot — a disproportionately large position taken without corresponding risk management, an opportunistic entry timed to a high-impact market event, or a pattern inconsistent with the rest of the account's activity — the Company reserves the right to withhold or deny the affected payout in whole or in part, impose position-size restrictions on subsequent trades, or take further corrective action including account review, suspension, or termination.

Regular Performance Evaluation

Regularly reviewing and adjusting trading performance maintains a high skill level and minimizes potential losses. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful trades, identifying improvement areas and strategy optimization.

Consistent evaluations allow adjustment to changing market conditions, strength and weakness understanding, and overall approach refinement.

Managing Capital and Protecting Simulated Profits

Treat accounts as personal account management. Focus on balance preservation, especially during volatile or uncertain conditions, adopting profit-safeguarding strategies.

Compliance with Company Guidelines

Customers are expected to follow guidelines maintaining responsible trading practices. Non-compliance may result in account suspension or trading privilege termination.

Every customer bears responsibility for Dominion Funding Responsible Trading Policy and relevant policy familiarity and adherence. A customer can ensure long-term collaboration with Dominion Funding through mutual trust and accountability.

Account reviews and evaluations are based on the UTC timezone regardless of trader local time.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Non-compliance potential consequences include:

1. Account Suspension or Closure — Account may be suspended or closed if trading practices are found not aligning with responsible trading behavior.
2. Restrictions and Limitations — Account restrictions and limitations may be imposed if trading activity violates guidelines.
3. Denied Performance Fees — Harmful trading practices and unsustainable behaviors incur performance fee withholding.

Appendix B

Trading Rules

Customers must adhere to the listed guidelines below. Failure results in account termination.

1-Step Model Services — Standard Account

1. Account balance or equity must not fall below the specified percentages of initial account size:
   • Phase 1 — 6%
   • Phase 2 (Master) — 6%
2. Account equity or balance must not fall below the previous day's balance (20:55 UTC) minus a fixed initial balance percentage (daily drawdown limit). The threshold remains constant throughout the day, recalculating daily at 20:55 UTC for the following 24-hour period.

   Definitions: Initial Balance — starting account balance (e.g., $100,000). Daily Drawdown Limit — maximum allowable daily loss percentage of initial balance (e.g., 4% of $100,000 = $4,000).

   Daily drawdown limits:

   • Phase 1 — 4%
   • Phase 2 (Master) — 4%
3. Achieve specific simulated profit targets based on initial account size without violating other rules. Targets are account balance-based with no open/pending trades required for rule validation:
   • Phase 1 — 10%
   • Phase 2 (Master) — not applicable
4. Valid profitable days require account balance increases of at least 0.5% (of starting balance) by end of trading day (20:55 UTC). Increase calculates starting from the maximum balance registered by the previous day's 20:55 UTC end. Non-qualifying days don't count toward minimum profitable day requirements regardless of volume or trade numbers:
   • Phase 1 — 4 days
   • Phase 2 (Master) — 4 days
5. Overnight trading is prohibited. No trading activity between 20:30–22:00 UTC; no open positions during this timeframe.
6. Weekend trading is disallowed. All trades close by 20:30 UTC Friday; no positions open until 22:00 UTC Sunday.
7. Restricted news event trading is prohibited. No trades opened, closed, or held open 5 minutes before/after scheduled restricted events. Trades opened 5+ hours before event time may remain open. Not all red folder or high-impact news are restricted. Client Area calendars show restricted events. Restricted events apply to related instruments only.

   Pending orders filled within restricted timeframes constitute rule breaches. Orders opened 5+ hours before restricted events are skipped during news trading breach verification.

8. Account inactivity marking accounts as failed occurs after the specified consecutive days without trades. Day count is based on UTC timezone. Inactive days lack trade execution. Inactivity count starts after first trade placement:
   • Phase 1 — 30 days
   • Phase 2 (Master) — not applicable
9. Rule adherence and violation avoidance grants next phase access:
   • Phase 1 → Phase 2

1. Account balance or equity must not fall below the specified percentage of the highest recorded end-of-day balance, calculated daily at 20:55 UTC. The limit trails upward with simulated profits but remains capped at the initial account balance. This rule applies to all evaluation/Master phases.
   • Phase 1 (Master) — 5%

   The trailing loss limit adjusts upward only when the account closes a day in simulated profit above the initial balance and does not decrease with losses. The maximum loss threshold remains fixed once reaching the initial account balance cap. Breaching this limit at any time results in immediate account termination.

2. Daily drawdown limits:
   • Phase 1 (Master) — 3%
3. Minimum profitable days (0.5% increase, rolling window):
   • Phase 1 (Master) — 8 days in the last 30 calendar days
