News Trading
Limited

Do not open new trades or increase existing ones within 3 minutes before or after high-impact economic releases or official speeches, as this behavior may be considered excessive risk-taking.

Inactivity Rule

  • Forex Instant / Instant Pro: 7 days

Days counted from the moment a position is CLOSED, not opened. Minimal 0.01-lot trades to game the rule don't count.

Consistency Rule
Yes

The formula for calculation of the Consistency Score is: [1 - (most profitable trading day)/(combined profit on all profitable days)]*100:

  1. If the score is above 70 then the trader is considered as consistent.
  2. If the score lies between 50 - 70 then the risk team will manually review the account and decide whether the trader should continue trading until the score becomes above 70 or pass them.
  3. If the score is less than 50, then the trader shall continue trading the account until the score reaches above 50 and then the risk team can take a call.
Yes
  • Forex Fast: no consistency rule on Challenge; consistency on Master varies.
  • Forex Pay After Pass Master: best day cannot exceed 20% of total profit.
  • Forex Instant: best day cannot exceed 15% of total profit.
