Our Instant Funding option is designed to provide immediate access to our simulated funded accounts, allowing you to start trading with a simulated funded account right away.


Here’s how it works:

Immediate Access: Unlike traditional funding processes, there’s no waiting period or demo phase. You’ll receive capital right from the start, allowing you to focus on trading.

Full Ownership of Profits: As soon as you start, you’ll have full ownership of any profits you make (in line with our profit split), giving you the flexibility to scale and grow based on your performance.

Clear Guidelines: With Instant Funding, there are specific guidelines to follow, but no challenge or evaluation phases are needed. This provides a streamlined way to access funds without delay.


Instant Funding Account Rules (Simulated)

Max Trailing Drawdown: 6% of initial balance (Hard breach)

Daily Loss Limit: 3% of initial balance (Hard Breach)

Consistency Score : must remain at 15% or below — [15% Consistency Rule here]

  • Note: The 20% consistency rule applies only to accounts sized $5,000–$100,000 purchased before September 24, 2025 — [20% Consistency Rule here]

You are limited to a total of 10 soft breaches, such as:

  • No Stop Loss: Trades without an active SL are closed automatically (Add-on available) — [Stop Loss Rule]

  • Equity Shield: If combined floating drawdown across all open trades exceeds 2.5%, all trades are closed — [Equity Shield Article here]

    • We offer a weekend holding add-on that allows you to bypass this restriction.
