• Other programmes: stop loss is required

More than 50% of trades held for less than one minute is prohibited.

Solo FX has no specific scalping, rapid-trade-opening, trades-under-60-seconds or HFT restriction. Latency arbitrage and execution abuse remain prohibited.

No aggressive scaling outside reasonable limits or 3 or more positions in one losing trading idea. Prior positions must be protected when adding.

Do not use more than 50% of available margin. The firm may impose a 1% maximum risk per trading idea after written notification.

• 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 between accounts held by the same person, including external accounts. EAs and external copiers are allowed; each account must comply individually.

Unrestricted in evaluation. In funded, no opening or closing from 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after high-impact news and FOMC events. The News Trading add-on removes this window. Without it, affected trade profits are removed.

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.

Account closure after 30 days without trades, in both evaluation and funded.

30 days

Checked only at payout: Instant and Pay After Pass, 15%; 1-Step and 2-Step, 30%. Each day counts at its highest net profit reached during the day, even if it closes at a loss. Trading may continue until the ratio is met.

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.

Exploiting pricing or platform errors, latency arbitrage, insider trading, front-running, gambling without a strategy and all-or-nothing trading. The strategy must remain consistent between evaluation and funded.

• 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

• Solo FX: VPNs, proxies and location masking are prohibited
• Other programmes: Finotive's Terms prohibit masked or unstable connections when they impair verification of identity, location or account control
