Consistency Rules

  • Evaluation and Funded Standard Accounts – 40%, no one trading day can be equal to or greater than 40% of the total profits.
  • Guardian Account – 30%, no one trading day can be equal to or greater than 30% of the total profits. Only applies to the Funded Phase.

Firm Rules

  1. Activation Fees – For Standard Accounts there are no Activations, however, Guardian accounts are an exception to the policy:
    Account Size Activation Fee
    $25k $49
    $50k $99
    $100k $149
    $150k $199
  2. News Trading – Cannot open or hold any positions 5 minutes before/afore a Tier 1 data release. News Trading is permitted during the Evaluation, however it cannot serve as the sole method to pass the account. Other trades have to be present to pass a thorough account review.
    1. Tier 1 News:
      1. For All Traders: FOMC Meetings, FOMC Minutes, Employment Reports, CPI.
      2. For Energy Traders: EIA Reports.
      3. For Agricultural Traders: Agricultural Reports.
  3. Inactivity Rule – Must place at least one trade within a seven day period. Failure to do so may result in an account breach.
  4. 2% Price Limit Rule – Trading is prohibited within 2% of a CME Price Limit. You can see CME Price Limits here: https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/price-limits.html
  5. Stop Loss Rule – Trading without a stop-loss is a prohibited practice.
  6. “All-in” Trading Rule – Prohibited to use maximum contract sizes early in an Evaluation process to overcome the Trailing Drawdown then downsizing later. Similarly, it is prohibited to trade with large sizes early in a Funded Account, only to downsize later is also prohibited.
  7. Inconsistent Sizing and Martingale –  Do not support trading strategies where contract sizing is inconsistent, particularly those that increase risk exposure to recover losses (referred to as “martingale” strategies).
  8. Maximum Risk to Reward Ratio – Capped at 5:1.
  9. Scaling Plan (Standard and Guardian Funded Accounts) – The amount of contracts you have access to depends on your account balance.
