• Instant Funding: 1.5%. The first confirmed breach produces a formal warning. From the second confirmed breach onward, each separate event records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.
• Funded Challenge and Funded Pro: 2%. Each confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.
• Challenge and Pro evaluation phases: 2%. It is monitored for the progression report but does not trigger a real-time strike or account closure.
• Solo FX: 2.5% during Simulated Funded Status only. A confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.

Only allow between Atmos Funded Accounts

Not allowed ±2 minutes from high-impact events

News trading is allowed. For Solo FX, the Dashboard and launch announcement prohibit news straddling, but Schedule 10A-1 disapplies the Terms section that prohibits it. Confirm this contradiction with Finotive before trading news.

90 days

30 days

• 1 Step Plus: No single day >45% of total profit (funded phase)
• Instant: No single day >20% of total profit (funded phase)
• 1 Step Standard, 2 Step Standard, 2 Step Plus, Nova: No rule

Pro accounts — from the 31st funded day

• Weekly trade count and instrument volume must remain within ±25% of the averages recorded during the Pro Challenge and the first 30 funded days.
• During every rolling 90-day period, realised and unrealised profit, including rewards already paid, must total at least 5% of the initial balance.
• Breaching either condition downgrades the account to the equivalent standard funded account and permanently removes the Pro benefits.

Instant Funding Standard and Lite

• At payout, the single most profitable closed trade must contribute less than 60% of total positive realised profit. Requesting a payout while the condition remains active records one Conditional Strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.

Solo FX

• No specific consistency rule or single-trade profit dependency.

Weekend holding is available through the optional Weekend Holding Add-On on Instant Funding accounts. Without it, all non-crypto positions must be closed before Friday's 17:00 New York market close; Finotive recommends closing at least 10 minutes earlier. Each confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%. Five cumulative strikes permanently close the account.

• Latency arbitrage (price feed abuse)
• High-frequency trading bots that overload execution
• Tick scalping / toxic flow that manipulates fills
• Hedging across accounts

• Excessive notional volume (not applicable to Solo FX; its exposure is governed by 1:33 margin)
• High-frequency stacking, including correlated instruments (not a Solo FX-specific restriction; latency arbitrage and execution abuse remain prohibited)
• Martingale or grid strategies
• News straddling (the Solo FX dashboard and announcement prohibit it, but Schedule 10A-1 disapplies section 7.9; confirm with support)
• Using ultra-tight stops just to mask oversized lots
