Consistency Rules

  • Evaluation Phase – 40%. No single trading day can account for over 40% of your profits.
  • Funded Phase (Beginner and Standard) – 40%. No single trading day can account for over 40% of your profits.
  • Instant Account – 20%. No single trading day can account for over 20% of your profits.
  • Instant Pro Account – 15%. No single trading day can account for over 15% of your profits.

Firm Rules

  1. Inactivity – Must place at least one trade within each seven day period.
  2. News Trading – Cannot open or hold any positions or pending orders two minutes before/after Tier 1 Data Releases. Trading is also not permitted during any red folder news events as identified on ForexFactory.com
  3. 2% Price Limit Rule – Prohibit trading within 2% of a CME Price Limit. Price Limits can be found here: https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/price-limits.html
  4. Trailing Drawdown (on Beginner, Standard and Instant Accounts) – Max Drawdown follows your highest recorded balance. It continues to trail until it reaches the starting balance + $100, at which point is becomes fixed.
    1. After your first payout, the drawdown is fixed at starting balance + $100.
  5. Trailing Drawdown (Instant Pro Accounts) – Maximum Drawdown trails in real time and applies on unrealised profits too. The max drawdown trails the highest watermark reached by the account. It continues to trail until it reaches the starting balance + $100, at which point is becomes fixed for the lifetime of the account.
  6. Wave Stop (on all accounts, but not during Evaluation) – Limits your maximum open floating losses at 2% of your account balance. If this level is hit, your account will be breached.
  7. Copy Trading – Copy trading is permissible between Funded Accounts owned by the trader, but is prohibited on evaluation accounts.
