Passing a challenge earns a 200% fee reward in Hive Coins, not a cash refund; coins cover up to 50% of future purchases. Failed evaluations are not refunded. Cash refunds are considered only under the terms.

Full refund if profitable 30 days after funding.

Solo FX: The Dashboard and launch announcement say the fee is refunded after 30 funded days if the account is profitable. Schedule 10A-1 says it is refunded upon approval of the first Reward Payment Request. Finotive's Terms state that the Schedule prevails; confirm with support before purchase.

Ethereum gas is paid by the trader; ETH is required in the wallet.

On demand through a smart contract, with verified A Book profits, no open positions and after covering A Book losses and outstanding fees. PFP debt may also be deducted from other funded accounts. Trading resumes at 00:00 UTC after a withdrawal.

One phase Pay From Profits.

• Standard Challenge
• Pro Challenge

InstantGrowth: 10 levels up to USD 1,000,000, with a 6% target per level. Scaling is paid from profits; capital doubles through level 5 and then grows in tiers. Only the entry level is directly purchasable. Classic unlocks WorkerBee after NewBee and QueenBee after WorkerBee.

Every 90 days, traders who meet performance and consistency targets see their account balance grow by 30% and their profit split increase by 5%, without ever having to sacrifice withdrawals.

Classic and two phase Pay From Profits.

• Standard Challenge
• Pro Challenge

Static and balance based; floating or realized losses can trigger a breach. Funded PFP: Low 5%, Moderate 6%, Medium 7% and High 10%. AADS closes positions and switches to B Book at a 1% loss below initial balance; recover initial balance and reactivate in the dashboard to return to A Book. B Book profit is not withdrawable. A cumulative A Book loss limit also follows the account daily limit; on InstantGrowth it is 6%.

Static

Calculated from the previous closing balance and reset at 00:00 UTC. Funded PFP depends on risk group: Low 2%, Moderate 3%, Medium 4% and High 5%.

Balance-based

Up to 6 active InstantGrowth accounts. Anonymous Web3 access permits one identity per user, device, household and network; it may hold multiple challenges.

No maximum phase completion time. PFP: 14 days to pay the next phase or activate funding; activation may receive one extension of up to 30 additional days with approval.

Hive Coins are internal utility rewards with no guaranteed monetary value. They may be issued for passed challenge fees or for B Book profit net of A Book losses when an account closes.

Classic and PFP: 3 profitable days per phase, each earning at least 1% of initial balance while balance is at or above the initial balance. None on funded accounts or InstantGrowth.

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

EAs are allowed; no HFT, latency arbitrage, error exploitation or abusive automation.

• 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

Netting accounts offset opposite orders in the same symbol. Cross account hedging is prohibited.

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.

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

No minimum holding time under the current terms; no tick scalping or HFT.

Accounts with the unified High-Frequency Trading rule active: up to 20% of profit may come from trades held for two minutes or less. The rule becomes active after the first 10 closed trades and is tracked in the dashboard. Exceeding the limit does not generate a strike, but the percentage must return within 20% before requesting a payout.

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

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.

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%.

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.

Trading through news is allowed. Bracketing high impact news with nearby buy and sell stops 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.

The account may be terminated after 3 consecutive months of inactivity.

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.

Allowed during evaluations; prohibited on funded accounts.

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.

Arbitrage, latency exploitation, tick scalping, HFT, hedge/reverse arbitrage, news bracketing, error or slow feed exploitation, third party account management, account sharing and resale. InstantGrowth prohibits martingale and grid.

• Excessive notional volume (not applicable to Solo FX; its exposure is governed by the margin requirement applicable to the account)
• 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

• 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
