What are the Rules for the Instant Funding Account?

An overview of the Rules for the Instant Funding Account

Written by Arjie

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.

Key limits: 6% max trailing drawdown and 3% daily loss limit (both hard breaches), 15% consistency score, maximum 10 soft breaches, and a trade at least once every 30 days.

How It Works

Feature

Details

Immediate Access

Unlike traditional funding processes, there is no waiting period or demo phase. You receive capital right from the start, allowing you to focus on trading.

Full Ownership of Profits

As soon as you start, you 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.
