Surrender Account (3-Step Program)
75% discount code that allows you to restart your journey from Phase 1
- Your account must not have used more than 75% of the permitted drawdown — essentially, your loss cannot exceed 3.75%.
- You must not have taken a loss greater than 1% on any single position.
- All open positions must be closed before the surrender is submitted.
Smart Restart Guarantee (1-Step Career Evaluation)
To receive a free restart, both of the following must be met during your first attempt:
- No individual trade may incur a loss greater than 1% of the account balance.
- Your maximum overall drawdown must remain better than −5%
1-Step Max
Up to 3 free evaluation restarts. Surrender before breach, with drawdown within 5% and no trade risking more than 1%.
This rule doesn't apply when buying the add-on at the check-out (+10%)
If your floating PnL (profit and loss) drops below -2% of the account balance, the account will be permanently closed.
Only applies to Instant Funding Standard, Pro, Flex, AquaMan and TryAqua.
1-Step Max: maximum 1% combined open risk per symbol, not across the entire account. Positions on different symbols have separate 1% limits. During evaluation, symbol-risk, missing-stop-loss and maximum-position-risk violations share one counter: warnings on strikes 1 and 2; hard breach on strike 3. On funded accounts, the first violation is a hard breach. The purchased no-stop-loss add-on exception still applies.
