The fee is non-refundable from purchase, even if the account is unused. Technical faults may receive a discretionary non-cash remedy only.

200% Challenge fee refund after the 3rd fully approved payout on Challenge accounts (Ash, Thunderbolt and Phoenix). The trader must request it through support. A partially approved payout or a payout with a strategy violation permanently disqualifies that account. It does not apply to Instant Funding accounts.

Daily, Weekly or Bi-Weekly, chosen at purchase. First cycle starts at funded activation; later cycles start at the last approved payout. Weekly requires 5 trading days per cycle; Bi-Weekly, 10, adjusted for market holidays. Daily has no fixed minimum but retains consistency. Presets: Standard and Default, Daily; Budget and Easy, Bi-Weekly; Power, Weekly.

• Withdrawal review by Risk Team: 24-48h (account trading is frozen during review).
• Bank transfers: 2-5 business days after approval.
• Crypto: faster, depends on blockchain network.
• Other programs: minimum 1% profit required per payout (resets after each payout).
• Turbo accounts: minimum 5 trading days per payout (each ≥0.5% profit).
• Vanguard (Instant Funding): minimum 6 trading days per payout (each ≥0.5% profit).
• Horizon and Odyssey: first payout 14 days after the funded account starts, then every 14 days. At least 3% profit of the initial balance is required before each payout, including between payouts, together with the required valid trading days.

No unconditional 24-hour receipt guarantee. The homepage advertises 24 hours; help states average review of 24-48 hours and the agreement targets 1-3 business days, plus 1-5 business days for Rise. No weekend or holiday processing. Compliance reviews may take 30 days; prohibited-practice investigations may last until resolved.

Crypto CFDs trade over weekends. Keeping positions open requires the applicable holding add-ons.

Gross per-request cap: 2% of size on payouts 1 and 2; 2.5% on 3 and 4; 4% on 5. The profit split applies and a 3% buffer must remain. Excess stays in the balance. From 5 total payouts across all accounts, Doji chooses between a Live invitation and ending funded access with a new evaluation.

Payout cap progresses with each approved withdrawal on the same funded account:

• Payout #1: 1% of initial balance
• Payout #2: 2%
• Payout #3: 3%
• Payout #4: 4%
• Payout #5: 5%
• Payout #6: 6%
• Payout #7: account resets to initial balance with NO payout cap (unlimited from #8 onwards)
  Cap only increases after a FULLY approved withdrawal. Partial or declined payouts do not progress the cap.

1-Step: 2% of initial account size. 2-Step: 1%. Verified identity and payment details in your own name. Verified Rise account; users restricted by Rise receive crypto through Confirmo without a Rise account.

• Bank Transfer (recommended): $19.90 + 2.49%.
• Cryptocurrency: $19.90 + 30% (higher due to limited UAE crypto liquidity).
• Returned payouts: $30 reprocessing fee (covers real bank/admin cost of reprocessing; not a penalty).

Holding beyond rollover incurs swaps; expiring futures CFDs carry no swap. Triple swap: Wednesday for forex and metals; Friday for indices, energies, treasuries and equities.

All accounts are swap‑free

No active reset offer is published: after failure, purchase a new evaluation; history does not carry over. The Terms reserve the right to offer resets later.

Resets are offered as an alternative to full suspension after a rule violation. The account continues trading, but every future payout on that account is permanently capped at 50% of the approved amount.

Overnight and weekend holding are paid add-ons. Targets, loss limits and calculation, split, days, consistency and payout frequency can be customised before purchase. Power includes overnight but not weekend holding; other presets include neither.

Touching the maximum floor permanently closes the account and prevents further payouts. Static references the starting balance; trailing follows peak equity; EOD measures session close. The configurator starts both models on Intraday, while the Rulebook describes Static for 1-Step and trailing for 2-Step. The purchased Dashboard configuration prevails.

Current CFD programs use three systems:

• Dynamic Risk Shield™: 6% on Ash and Thunderbolt, 7% on Vanguard, 5% on Oracle and 4% on Ember. It trails the equity high-water mark and locks at the initial balance where specified.
• Static maximum loss: 6% on Phoenix Classic, Ignite Classic and Ignite Turbo; 10% on Phoenix Legacy; 7% on Surge. The floor is fixed from the initial balance.
• Nonstop Dynamic Risk Shield™: 3% on Supernova and Hypernova; 2% on Ultranova. It trails continuously and never locks.
  Percentages and behavior are shown per phase in the challenge catalogue.
• Horizon and Odyssey: Dynamic Risk Shield™ follows the highest equity, only moves upward and stops at the initial balance, in evaluation and funded phases.

Locked at purchase and applied to realised net profit. Above 80% requires Doji Coins under the Rulebook. Each configuration’s percentage is listed in its challenges.

Standard profit split: 90%. A trader can select 80% or 100% at checkout; changing the split also changes the Challenge price. The selected split remains linked to that account, and older accounts retain their original conditions.

Touching the daily limit closes positions and pauses trading without ending the account. EOD is checked at session close and blocks the following session; Intraday monitors floating equity. Static may lift its floor after a breach. The Rulebook and agreement use 17:00 New York; help says fixed 21:00 UTC and the blog says 00:00 UTC. Confirm timing and Static reactivation in the Dashboard.

Resets daily at 00:00 UTC and is calculated under the rules of each program. Current limits:

• Ash Classic/Turbo and Thunderbolt Classic/Turbo: 3%
• Phoenix Classic, Ignite Classic/Turbo and Surge: 4%
• Phoenix Legacy: 5%
• Vanguard and Oracle: 4%
• Supernova and Hypernova: 2%
• Ember and Ultranova: no daily drawdown
• Horizon and Odyssey: daily limits by phase are shown in the challenge catalogue; Odyssey has a stricter daily limit when funded.

Up to 10 concurrent funded accounts, subject to the aggregate capital cap. Unlimited concurrent evaluations; one personal registration.

No phase completion deadline; inactivity termination still applies.

Classic, Legacy and non-Turbo Limited Drop challenges have no time limit. Ash Turbo, Thunderbolt Turbo and Ignite Turbo have 30 calendar days and a maximum of 7 trading days. Timed Instant Funding sessions last 24 hours on Supernova, 4 hours on Hypernova and 1 hour on Ultranova.

Configurable evaluation: 1-Step, 3-10; 2-Step, 5-20 total, split 60/40. Initial configuration: 5 and 6+4 respectively. Standard/Budget/Power presets: 5 total; Easy: 7, subject to configurator normalisation. Funded Weekly and Bi-Weekly have their own fixed cycle minimums.

No minimum trading days to pass the challenge in any Classic, Turbo or Limited Drop (Ignite/Surge) program. Turbo challenges require only 1 trading day with real activity. For those programs, minimums apply only at the payout stage: see 'minimumProfitableDays'.
Horizon requires 2 valid trading days in its evaluation. Odyssey requires 2 valid trading days in each evaluation phase. A valid day earns at least 0.5% of the initial balance.

Doji Coins: the Rulebook and help state 1 DC per complete closed lot, normally credited within 24 hours, and 1 DC = USD 0.10 for internal redemption. Used for discounts, challenges, split upgrades and merchandise; no cash-out or transfer. No expiry while registration stays active; forfeited on closure. Milestones every 5,000 lifetime DC. Homepage, one policy clause and technical conversion show different figures: verify actual redemption in the Dashboard.

Monthly free competition programme and a paid format marked coming soon. Competitions use separate accounts and rules from challenges.

EAs and algorithms are allowed within the rules. Third-party signal services must be disclosed; the Terms require written approval for tools not authorised by programme rules. Competitions are manual-only.

The Terms prohibit VPN or proxy use to conceal residence or access from restricted jurisdictions; they do not publish a general VPN ban.

Not explicitly prohibited, but strongly discouraged. Use of VPN/VPS during KYC/AML verification is prohibited and can result in the account not being funded or being closed. If suspicious activity is detected, VPN usage will be used against the trader in the review.

Opposite trades across Doji accounts and between funded and a personal broker to guarantee profits or neutralise risk are prohibited. Brackets and offsetting trades to farm coins are also prohibited.

Hedging across multiple accounts is prohibited. Hedging within a single account is allowed under normal trading rules.

The Rulebook and help say it is not mandatory. The funded agreement requires a stop-loss unless position sizing demonstrably manages risk; Doji may request justification.

Positions opened and closed in under 5 seconds and latency-based scalping are prohibited.

Martingale, grid and averaging down are prohibited when used to circumvent drawdown rules or create exponential exposure. First detection: explanation requested by email; repetition: closure.

Size is limited by instrument margin and leverage. Overleveraging, outsized directional bets and size changes to exploit rules are prohibited; no universal fixed per-trade risk percentage is published.

Maximum loss per trade in the funded phase (all positions on the same instrument and direction count as one trade):

• Ash Classic, Thunderbolt Classic and Phoenix Classic: 3%
• Phoenix Legacy, Vanguard and Oracle: 2%
• Ash Turbo, Thunderbolt Turbo, Ignite Classic, Ignite Turbo, Surge and Ember: 1.5%
• Supernova and Hypernova: 1%
• Ultranova: 0.5%
  Exceeding the applicable limit is a hard breach.

Only between your own accounts in the same direction, including a copier. Copying between users, group coordination and cross-account hedging are prohibited. Third-party signals must be disclosed.

Ordinary news trading is allowed on evaluation and funded accounts. Systematic spike exploitation by entering within 60 seconds before a release and closing immediately after is prohibited, as are brackets and concentrated bets.

Termination after 30 calendar days without placing, modifying or closing an order or position. Logging in or holding an untouched position does not restart the count.

35 consecutive calendar days without a trade closes the account automatically. Warning email sent 7 days before expiration.

Funded only; compares the best net realised day with cumulative profit since activation, without payout resets. It blocks eligibility until met, without closing the account by itself. Configurable 10-50%, initially 30%. Daily caps at 30%; the Rulebook leaves Weekly uncapped, although the blog contradicts this. Presets: Standard/Default and Budget 30%; Power 20%; Easy 40%.

Consistency is checked at payout and does not breach the account:

• 20% Best Day Rule: current Classic and Turbo challenges, Ignite, Surge, Vanguard, Oracle and Ember
• 30% Best Day Rule: Phoenix Legacy
• Best Trade Rule in timed Instant Funding: 15% on Supernova and Hypernova; 20% on Ultranova
  The Best Day cycle resets after each successful payout. The timed Best Trade Rule is final when the session ends.
• Horizon and Odyssey: no consistency or Best Day Rule in evaluation or funded accounts.

Overnight and weekend holding must be purchased as separate add-ons and carry into funded. Without the relevant add-on, automatic closure at the cut-off is not itself a breach.

Latency/price arbitrage; HFT under 5 s; data/error exploitation; account sharing/selling; false identity; copying between users; cross-account hedging or coordination; deliberate evaluation cycling; payout/drawdown exploitation; wash trading or Doji Coins farming; one-sided betting and brackets; cancellation abuse; insider dealing, manipulation and pump-and-dump. Reviews may end accounts, forfeit profits and affect pending payouts or Wallet balances.

• Expert Advisors (EAs), bots, emulators or automated trading of any kind (even partial automation of entries, exits, SL/TP management or trade copying). Indicators used for analysis are allowed.
• Tick scalping (trades held under 2 minutes on Oracle/Supernova/Hypernova) and high-frequency trading (HFT).
• Martingale, grid trading, one-sided bets, reverse trading and group hedging.
• News straddling (bracket orders placed around economic releases).
• Signal services and copy trading from external sources.
• Team/group trading or executing identical trades across accounts to bypass the $1.5M cap.
• Sharing passwords, account access or identity (KYC).
• Exploiting platform bugs, delays or pricing errors.
• Opening multiple user profiles (One Person, One Account policy).
• Splitting trades intentionally to bypass the 20% Best Day Rule.

Multiple challenges and funded accounts combinable under a single user profile, as long as total funded capital does not exceed $1,500,000 across all Upcomers programs.
