Same-type funded accounts can be merged up to $400,000 ($200,000 cap on Instant). Cross-merging different types (e.g. 2 Step Standard with 2 Step Pro) is NOT allowed. Both accounts must be at break-even (no profit, no loss) at merge time. Beyond the merge cap, the Scaling Plan can take total allocation up to $2,000,000. Guardian X and Instant accounts are NOT eligible for scaling.
1 Step Nano: no minimum during the evaluation; 5 days when funded.
EAs are allowed; no HFT, latency arbitrage, error exploitation or abusive automation.
Netting accounts offset opposite orders in the same symbol. Cross account hedging is prohibited.
Hedging is allowed within a single account. Hedging across multiple accounts (yours or others') is NOT allowed.
PFP Low: stop at opening and closing, with up to 20 seconds to place it. Moderate: stop before closing. Medium, High, Classic and InstantGrowth: no general requirement. An accidental position fully closed within 10 seconds does not by itself change risk group.
No minimum holding time under the current terms; no tick scalping or HFT.
Minimum holding time of 2 minutes. Trades closed in under 2 minutes are flagged as tick scalping and count as a rule violation, whether closed manually or by automated systems. Average trade duration should stay above 1–2 minutes. Scalping itself is allowed as long as you stay above the 2-minute floor.
Partial entries are allowed; all positions with the same instrument and trading intent count as a single trade for combined risk assessment.
Prohibited on InstantGrowth. Other plans remain subject to risk limits and restrictions on excessively speculative strategies.
Per trade: Classic and PFP evaluation 3%; InstantGrowth 2%. Funded PFP Low/Moderate/Medium/High: 1%/1.5%/2%/3% of opening balance. Exceeding the assigned group pauses funding and closes positions; resuming requires paying the fee difference for the new group.
Own account copying is allowed during evaluation only. Prohibited on funded accounts, including your own. While one funded account holds an asset, other funded accounts of the same user or network cannot open that asset in either direction.
Manual copy trading is allowed ONLY between accounts legally owned by the same person (e.g. between your own Evaluation and Funded accounts, or between your Blue Guardian account and external accounts in your name). NOT allowed:
- Copying trades from other traders' accounts.
- Third-party copiers that involve accounts not legally yours.
- Having a third party manage your trades.
Instant Funding users may also use third-party copiers, provided all accounts belong to the same user.
Trading through news is allowed. Bracketing high impact news with nearby buy and sell stops is prohibited.
News trading is allowed on Challenge, Guardian X and Instant Starter.
It is NOT allowed on Instant Standard and Funded accounts. On those, do not open or close trades within 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after a red folder (high-impact) release. Profits made during that window or significantly influenced by the news will be removed, even without an account violation. Same 5-minute window applies around FOMC speeches, statements and news events on Funded accounts.
Note: Instant Standard accounts purchased after November 13, 2025 cannot do news trading at all.
The account may be terminated after 3 consecutive months of inactivity.
