Rules Overview for Challenge Accounts
This page outlines the rules and guidelines for our trading challenges. It provides a clear overview of the requirements and conditions. This way, traders can stay compliant and move forward with confidence. To keep it fair and clear, everyone must follow these rules in each phase of the challenge.
Please read our Responsible Trading Guidelines in the Terms and Conditions.
The minimum profit you need to reach during the evaluation phase to advance to the next stage.
The target is based on balance value and there should be no open or pending trades for the rule to be validated.
Example (Phase 1)
• Initial balance: $100,000
• Profit target: 10% = $10,000
Your balance must reach $110,000 ($100,000 + $10,000) with no open or pending trades to pass this phase.
Account equity or balance must not drop below a threshold set by the previous day's balance at 20:55 UTC, reduced by a fixed percentage of the initial account balance (referred to as the daily drawdown limit). This threshold remains constant throughout the day and is recalculated daily at 20:55 UTC for the following 24-hour period.
Definitions
• Initial Balance: The starting account balance (e.g., $100,000)
• Daily Drawdown Limit: A fixed percentage of the initial balance that represents the maximum allowable loss for a day (e.g., 4% of $100,000 = $4,000)
Examples
Initial balance: $100,000 Daily loss limit: 4% of the initial balance ($4,000)
1. If your balance at 20:55 UTC is $102,000, the minimum allowable equity or balance for the next day is $98,000 ($102,000 – $4,000) 2. If your balance at 20:55 UTC is $98,000, the minimum allowable equity or balance for the next day is $94,000 ($98,000 – $4,000)
The daily drawdown limit remains constant at $4,000 based on the initial account balance.
The maximum your account balance or equity can drop from the initial starting balance at any point. Breaching this limit results in account failure.
This limit is fixed and does not change during the account lifetime, even if the account registers profits or losses.
Example
• Initial balance: $100,000 • Equity requirement: 6% ($6,000)
Your balance or equity must not drop below $94,000 ($100,000 – $6,000) at any time to keep the account active.
To count as a "profitable day" towards the minimum requirement, your account needs to end the day with a balance that's at least 0.5% (of starting balance) higher than the highest balance your account has reached by the end of the previous trading day. This balance increase is checked at the end of each trading day (20:55 UTC).
If you don't hit this 0.5% growth target on any given day, that day won't count toward the required profitable days, even if you made lots of trades or had high trading activity. It's a way to ensure steady, sustainable gains rather than just busy trading.
A profitable day requires a balance increase of at least 0.5% compared to the previous highest balance.
Inactivity Rule
If no trades are placed for 30 consecutive calendar days, your account will be automatically failed. Stay active to keep your account.
This rule does not apply to funded stages. Pending orders do not count as trading activity.
Economic Events Trading
We strive to minimize the number of restricted events while prioritizing trading safety of both our clients and our operations.
Trading during restricted news events is prohibited. No trades should be opened, closed or held open in the time window starting 5 minutes before and ending 5 minutes after a scheduled restricted event. However, trades opened at least 5 hours before the event time can remain open. Not all red folder or high impact news are restricted. A calendar will show restricted events in the Client Area on our website.
Restricted events apply only to related instruments.
Please note that Pending Orders that get filled within the restricted time frame — 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after the news event — are considered a rule breach. Orders opened at least 5 hours before a restricted event, are skipped and not taken into consideration during news trading breach verification.
Overnight Trading
Overnight trading is not allowed. There should be no trading activity between 20:30 UTC and 22:00 UTC, and no positions should be held open during this time frame.
Weekend Trading
No trades are allowed during weekends. All trades must be closed by 20:30 UTC on Friday. Trading can only resume after 22:00 UTC on Sunday.
