Token calculation

• Forex, indices, commodities: 0.2 tokens / $100,000 volume
• Crypto: 0.2 tokens / $20,000 volume

A trading day only counts if it closes with at least 0.5% profit (for example, $50 on a $10,000 account). This applies to every phase and to the instant accounts.

No limit on the number of accounts. Combined funded capital is capped at $500,000; passed accounts above that stay on hold until you are back under the limit.

Trading 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the event is prohibited ( this is a soft breach and will not result in your account being breached).

Executed trades during this period that lead to a loss won't be compensated.

Executing a trade refers to initiating or closing a market order, as well as triggering any pending order, including stop-loss and take-profit instructions.
