More detail about it can be found on this link

Only Instant account can be scaled. Request a withdrawal after 10% profit to double the size of your account up to a max of $1,280,000.

• Standard Challenge
• Pro Challenge

Static

• CFT Platform and MetaTrader: 2 Phases and Instant use a static maximum loss; 1 Phase uses trailing drawdown.
• Bybit: 1-Phase and Break use a balance-based trailing loss limit that locks at the initial balance after sufficient profit. 2-Phase, Ascend and Instant use fixed maximum-loss limits.

Exact limits are shown in each challenge.

• Standard Challenge: 80% (up to 95% scaling)
• Pro Challenge: 100%
• Instant Standard: 75% (up to 90%)
• Instant Lite: 70% (up to 85%)

• Instant: 50% at the starting level, then 60%, 70%, 80% and 90% as the account scales.
• 1 Phase and 2 Phases: 80% in the Final Stage, with an optional 90% add-on.
• Break: 80% in the Final Stage.

If your final-stage account is suspended with virtual profits, you can still receive up to 50% in performance rewards if:

• Every trade had a stop-loss.
• No single trade lost more than 2%.
• You traded for at least 15 days.

Balance-based

• CFT Platform and MetaTrader: 2 Phases, 1 Phase, Instant and Ascend use balance-based daily drawdown.
• Bybit: daily drawdown is calculated from equity using the account balance at 00:05 UTC. Break accounts do not have a separate daily-loss limit.

Exact limits are shown in each challenge.

• Challenge Accounts (Standard): Up to $600,000 in purchased capital, scalable to $2,040,000
• Pro Challenge Accounts: Up to $600,000 in purchased capital, scalable to $2,040,000
• Instant Funding (Standard): Up to $200,000 in purchased capital, scalable to $680,000
• Instant Funding Lite: Up to $200,000 in purchased capital, scalable to $680,000

Standard Final Stage allocation is capped at $300,000. Instant accounts are separate and can scale to $1,280,000. Break and Ascend accounts also have separate allocation limits.

Unlimited

• 1-Phase, 2-Phase and Break: no minimum trading days to pass the evaluation.
• Instant: no evaluation phase and no minimum days.
• Ascend: 5 trading days in evaluation.

Minimum profitable days number must be met every time a trader wants to pass an evaluation phase, scale a funded account or request a payout. A day is considered profitable when it reaches at least 0.5% profit

• Challenge 1 Step: 3 days
• Challenge 2 Step: 2 days
• Instant Standard: 0 days
• Instant Lite: 5 days
• Finotive Pro 1 Step: 3 days
• Finotive Pro 2 Step: 2 days
• Solo FX: 4 days with at least 0.5% each

• Solo FX: all Expert Advisors and automated execution tools are prohibited
• Other programmes: pre-purchased or mass-market “plug-and-play” EAs are not allowed

Expert Advisors and automation are allowed when used for normal trading. EAs designed for high-frequency trading, tick scalping, arbitrage, reverse trading or exploitation are prohibited.

• 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

• Solo FX: stop loss is not required
• Other programmes: stop loss is required

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

Normal scalping is allowed. Tick scalping, high-frequency trading and latency exploitation are prohibited.

Floating drawdown is calculated per symbol against the initial account balance.

• 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%.

Simulated profit is capped at $10,000 per trading day and per trade. Trades closed in parts or opened together as one strategy may be treated as a single trade.

Copy trading is allowed under the firm's general rules. Break evaluations may be copied only between the same trader's own Break accounts. Copy trading is prohibited in Break Final Stage and between different traders, third parties or coordinated accounts.

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.

Ascend

During the two minutes before and after high-impact news or market open, traders must not open or add new positions, nor increase or combine their maximum theoretical loss beyond 2% of the account's initial balance.

30 days

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.

Only Break Final Stage accounts apply a consistency rule: no single trading day may represent more than 40% of total profits. It is checked only when requesting a payout and does not breach the account.

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.

Crypto futures trade 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and positions may remain open overnight and over weekends.

• 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

High-frequency trading, tick scalping, latency or price-feed exploitation, arbitrage, gambling or all-in trading, abusive hedging, reverse trading across accounts and coordinated trading are prohibited. On Bybit, unauthorized deposits into the subaccount, modifying or disconnecting the API, spot trading, options and non-USDT pairs are also prohibited.
