Key Rule Explanations
Profit Target
Traders must reach a 10% target in Phase 1 and a 5% target in Phase 2. There is no profit target once funded.
Max Drawdown
Accounts launch with an 8% max drawdown as standard. A 10% max drawdown is available as a limited launch promotion. The drawdown is static and does not trail.
Daily Drawdown
A fixed 4% daily drawdown calculated from the previous day’s highest balance or equity.
Minimum Profitable Trading Days
To complete any phase or request a payout, traders must log at least 5 separate days where the account closes with a minimum of 0.5% net profit.
Profit Split
The base profit split is 80%. A 90% profit split is available via an optional add on.
Risk Controls
A 1% Equity Shield limits maximum open risk. Soft breach thresholds apply before a hard breach is triggered.
No Consistency Rule
There is NO CONSISTENCY target on the 2-step PLUS accounts.
Payout Cap
Funded accounts have a maximum withdrawal amount per payout cycle. If profits exceed the cap, the remaining balance stays on the account and can be withdrawn in future payout cycles.
News and EAs
News trading is allowed during Phase 1 and Phase 2. It is restricted on funded accounts. Expert Advisors are allowed during evaluation phases but not on funded accounts.
Inactivity
If no trades are placed for 30 consecutive days, the account will be considered inactive and may be closed. Placing any trade resets the inactivity timer.
