• 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

EAs and algorithmic trading permitted on 1-Phase, 2-Phase and Rapid challenges. Strictly prohibited on Instant Funding accounts.

• 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

VPN/VPS allowed, but you must be able to prove access was done by you. Payouts may be delayed or declined if DNA cannot verify this. Using VPN to mask location, share accounts, or allow third-party trading is a prohibited act.

• 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.

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%.

Copy trading only permitted between own DNA Funded accounts. Copying from non-DNA Funded accounts or between different users is prohibited.

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.

No orders 5 minutes before/after high-impact news events (marked red on FXStreet calendar).

Also applies to unexpected high-impact events (market shocks).

30 days

Traders must execute at least one trade every 30 days to avoid account inactivity.

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.

During the funded phase, traders can generate up to 30% of the requested payout amount as profit per calendar day.

Gains exceeding the 30% daily threshold are removed from the payout, but the account is not disqualified.

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.

For non-crypto markets, trades can be held over the weekend but no new trades can be opened. Strictly prohibited for Rapid and Instant Funding challenges.

• 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
