The evaluation fee is refundable. Under the published standard conditions, the refund unlocks alongside the fifth successful payout.

14 days. 7 days with the 7-Day Payout Add-On (+20%). On-Demand with the Payout On-Demand Add-On. Not available for Synthetics accounts.

Depends on the program. Rapid and Ascend allow an early payout after 3 days with a 40% split. Standard payouts retain an 85% split and require the applicable trading days, profit and SFX Stability Index. Instant and 1-Step Pro allow payout requests once their requirements are met, without a fixed bi-weekly cycle.

Requests are processed within 48 business hours. SFX advertises $1,000 compensation if it misses that deadline.

$2,000 for Crypto

Maximum of $10,000 per request for the first two payouts. This limit is removed afterwards.

$100

Payouts below $100 can only be processed through USDT TRC20. Bank transfer is available from $100.

• 1 Step, Instant: 1:30
• 2 Step: 1:50

You can reset your account from the stage you reached: Phase 1, Phase 2 or even a Funded Account. If you reached funded, the reset provides a new funded account at the same starting size, so you can return to trading toward your next payout without completing the evaluation again.

Resets are available through your Trader Dashboard for 7 days after an account breach.

Available for Ascend during evaluation and for funded Ascend, 1-Step Pro and Rapid accounts within 10 calendar days of the first trade. A funded reset subsequently applies a 50% split.

Trade managers, calculators and EAs developed by the trader are allowed. Third-party EAs and EAs designed to exploit rollover or perform news scalping are prohibited.

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.

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.

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.

Maximum floating loss: 2% on Rapid, Ascend and Instant; $300K and $400K Instant accounts have a 1% limit. 1-Step Pro has a 1% limit, with a warning and split reduction to 40% on the first violation and closure on the second.

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

Copying trades, manually or through software, between the trader's own accounts or from external traders or signal providers is prohibited.

• 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

Funded accounts restrict trading from 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after high-impact news. News straddling, news bracketing and manipulation of the simulated environment are also prohibited.

30 days

Accounts are closed after 30 days of inactivity.

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.

Maximum SFX Stability Index for payout: Rapid 15%, 1-Step Pro 20%, Ascend 25% and Instant 15%.
