Firm Rules

  1. Inactivity Rule (Challenge and Funded Accounts) – Must place a trade every 30 days. Note that the inactivity period begins after the account is purchased, not from the first trade. Accounts are failed if this rule is breached.
  2. Volume-Weighted Average Holding Time (VWHT) Requirement – To prevent traders from trading with very short holding times that are do not reflect realistic execution in the markets, all trades must meet a minimum VWHT threshold. The VWHT accounts for holding time of a trade, and the trade volume. Trader’s must have a VWHT of at least 2 minutes, otherwise the account is terminated. You can find out more about how this is calculated here: https://help.fundingtraders.com/en/articles/12838492-general-trading-guidelines.
  3. Grid Trading Rule – Grid Trading is strictly prohibited across all account types.
  4. Maximum Risk Per Trade Idea (Novice and 2-Step Pro Accounts) – 2% of the initial account balance. “One Trade Idea” is classified has having open trades on the same symbol in the same direction simultaneously; or closing and reopening trades in the same symbol and direction within 2 minutes.

    Challenge Phase – No restrictions in the challenge phase at all. Challenge Phase – News trading is permitted with no restrictions. News trading is prohibited. No trading 5 minutes before/after high-impact news events. If there is a breach, the account will be terminated.
