- 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%.
Shield Risk Protocol
Maximum Floating Loss Limits
- Instant Plus, 2-Step Plus: Maximum floating loss = 1% of account balance
Breach Consequences
- Breach it once = 80% profit split drops to 50%
- Breach it repeatedly = payout share reduces permanently to 40%, 30% and finally 20%
Built-in Copy Trading lets traders link their own FTM accounts and mirror trades, including from Evaluation to Funded phases. Available across supported platforms. Account sharing and group trading remain 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.
30 days
Accounts inactive for 30 days are subject to closure.
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.
Instant (all)
- If a single day's profit is more than 20% of your total profit in the Instant Funding Account, you have to keep trading until the best day profit is less than 20% of the total profit.
1-Step Nitro
50% on evaluation phase and 45% on funded phase
1-Step Nitro X
25% on funded phase
2-Step Plus
No consistency rule on evaluation. No consistency rule on funded phase.
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.
