You are allowed to use a VPN or VPS as long as it has a Static IP.

Also be aware that the IP rule restricts multiple accounts from different individuals from being accessed from the same IP address to ensure the integrity and fairness of our trading environment.

Limited

Hedging
Yes

Requires Stop Loss
No
No

A stop loss is not mandatory, but exposure above 10 times the starting capital with more than 50% of trades lacking an SL may be treated as abuse.

Scalping

Tick scalping (holding trades for only a few seconds to capture minimal price movements) is prohibited. Regular scalping is allowed; the previous "50% of trades > 1 minute" rule was removed for accounts purchased after March 12, 2026.

Yes
No
Maximum Risk Limit
Yes

Flex 1 Step (evaluation and funded): 1% Risk Per Trade Idea from the initial account size. Positions on the same instrument count as one idea. The first automatic breach is soft and the second is hard; aggregated re-entry losses may cause direct account closure.

Other Funded Accounts purchased after March 12, 2026 (Prime excluded): 1.5% Risk Per Trade Idea. A "trade idea" includes your initial position and any positions opened in the same direction within 10 minutes of closing a losing trade. The combined loss across all positions in that window cannot exceed 1.5% of your initial account size.

Optional Add-On at checkout: Upgrade to 2% Risk Per Trade Idea for more drawdown room.

Instant Lite (accounts purchased from August 17, 2026): once the account reaches 4% in profit, a 1% maximum risk per trade applies.

Limited

Instant PineX: maximum 2% of starting capital per trade idea. Instant Elite: maximum 1% floating loss. No fixed per-trade percentage applies on 1-Step or 2-Step, but the general excessive-risk rules still apply.

Copy Trading
Limited

Prime and Flex 1 Step: external signals and copy trading are not allowed. Other account types allow copy trading.

No

Mirroring, third-party executed signals and copying between accounts are prohibited.

News Trading
Limited
  • Flex 1 Step: do not open or close positions within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news event, during either evaluation or funded stages. Holding through news is allowed. Strikes carry over: the first deducts the profit, the second also reduces the profit split from 85% to 60%, and the third closes the account
  • Other accounts: do not open new trades within 2 minutes before or after a scheduled high-impact news release. You may close or manage existing trades, and take-profits, stop-losses and partial closes remain permitted
No

Positions on the affected instrument cannot be opened or closed during the 5 minutes before and after red-folder news. Automatic SL or TP closures also count.

Inactivity Rule

30 days

The account is considered breached after 30 calendar days without opening and closing at least one trade.

Consistency Rule
Limited

Instant Lite accounts purchased from August 17, 2026 have a 15% consistency rule. It does not apply to Flex 1 Step, Instant Elite, 1-Step, Prime or 2-Step accounts, which have no consistency rule.

Instant PineX applies a 20% rule: the best day must represent less than 20% of the period's profit. 1-Step, 2-Step and Instant Elite have no consistency rule.

Hold Weekend
Limited

Flex 1 Step: overnight holding is allowed, but weekend holding is not allowed. Other account types allow weekend holding.
