Refund
Limited

Fee refunded with the third approved payout on the same funded account, except Ultra and Instant. The terms exclude both from refunds. Other models have a 24-hour refund window before trading. The Static Fee Refund add-on appears in the terms but is absent from the reviewed catalogue.

Limited

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.

Payout Fee

Up to 3.5% processing fee where disclosed. The FAQ attributes it to methods other than Rise; provider and currency-conversion fees may also apply.

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

Payout Frequency

The website and checkout add-ons state 21 days for the first withdrawal. The terms then specify 10 calendar days for 1-Step, 2-Step Trailing and 3-Step; 10 business days for Static; 14 calendar days for Ultra and Instant. The latter intervals run from the previous payment. All funded accounts require 15 completed trades per cycle.

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.

Payout Guarantee

Twice the requested amount if an approved request is not sent within two business days. The clock starts once both the request and the payout partner KYC are recorded. Dubai calendar, excluding weekends and UAE public holidays; reviews, disputes and legal holds are excluded. The advertised 45 minutes is an average.

No data
Crypto Weekend Trading
Limited

Holding through market closures is allowed during evaluation, but not on funded or Instant accounts.

No data
Maximum Withdrawal

Profit above the per-cycle cap is forfeited, except on 2-Step Static, where it carries forward. Free, giveaway and prize accounts: eligible profit capped at 1% of initial balance per calendar month under clause 4.7, although the FAQ still states 2% per interval.

Daily limit per ERC20 address: USD 1,000 on Classic and PFP; USD 2,000 on InstantGrowth. Resets at 00:00 UTC. Accounts sharing an address share the cap; excess profit remains available on following days.

Minimum Withdrawal

The terms conflict: the table lists USD 200 for 1-Step, 2-Step Trailing and 3-Step; USD 100 for Static and Ultra; none for Instant. Clause 4.4 states USD 100 generally except Instant, while the FAQ states USD 200. Confirm the plan-specific amount in the dashboard.

USD 50, paid in USDC on Ethereum ERC20.

Forex

FAQ: 1:50 on 1-Step, Ultra and Instant; 1:100 on 2-Step Trailing. Static: 1:50 under the terms. Ultra and Instant funded: maximum total effective exposure 1:50.

No data
Add-ons
Yes

Checkout: 95% split for an extra 30% where offered; first payout after 7 days for an extra 35% on 1-Step, Static and Ultra up to 300K. Pay Later has no add-ons.

Account scaling
Limited

The FAQ mentions at least 12 profitable cycles and the possibility of another same-size account after +50% funded performance. Black is invitation-only with custom terms, not guaranteed scaling.

Yes

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.

Two Steps
Yes
Yes

Classic and two phase Pay From Profits.

Max Drawdown

Trailing against peak equity; under the terms, it stops rising when the floor reaches 96% of initial balance. Static keeps a fixed floor from activation. Free and prize accounts always use trailing, even when the base model is Static.

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%.

Daily Drawdown

Static takes the higher of balance and equity at 00:00 server time and fixes that reference for the day. Other models have a discrepancy: the FAQ uses that daily reference, but the terms describe trailing against peak equity. Instant has no daily limit. Losses include floating P&L, charges and swaps.

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%.

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.

Minimum Trading Days

Evaluation according to checkout: 1-Step, 2 days; Trailing, 2 and 3; Static, 4 and 4; 3-Step, 2 per phase; Ultra, no minimum configured. The terms still state 10 evaluation days for Ultra. Ultra and Instant funded require 10 trading days before the first payout. Static counts days with at least one 0.01-lot trade opened and closed.

No data
Points Reward Program

FV Points: 1 point per net USD spent, with possible extras for phases, referrals and verified actions. Redeemable for discounts, challenges or merchandise; personal with no cash value. Points expire after 12 months and challenge vouchers after 90 days. Refunds reverse points and profile termination forfeits them; failing a challenge does not.

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.

Minimum Profitable Days

Terms: Ultra and Instant require 3 days per cycle with at least +0.2% of starting daily equity. Static requires 5 days with at least +0.1%. The FAQ publishes different thresholds. Once eligibility is met, profit from days below the threshold also counts.

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.

Expert Advisor (EA)
Limited

The terms permit automation on 1-Step, Trailing, Static and 3-Step, and only during Ultra evaluation; it is prohibited on Ultra funded and Instant. The FAQ requires an EA add-on absent from the reviewed catalogue. The Risk Desk may request files and logic within five business days.

Limited

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

VPN
Limited

Paid VPN with prior notice to support; restricted-country IPs and identity evasion are prohibited. The FAQ prohibits VPS for manual trading and ties automated VPS use to an EA add-on.

No data
Hedging
Limited

Allowed within one account, subject to the two-position limit per asset. Prohibited across own accounts, other traders or other firms.

No

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

Requires Stop Loss
Limited

Instant requires a stop-loss on every position within 60 seconds. For risk calculations on other plans, positions without SL are assessed as if stopped at the drawdown floor.

Limited

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.

Scalping
Limited

Terms: profits from trades held under 4 minutes are excluded, except on Static. Static has no evaluation minimum; funded profits from trades under 2 minutes are excluded if they exceed 30% of cycle profit. The FAQ states 180 seconds, or 30 with an add-on absent from the sale catalogue.

Limited

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

Stacking / Layering (DCA)
Limited

Maximum two open positions per asset, counting buys and sells and grouping equivalent symbols.

Limited

Partial entries are allowed; all positions with the same instrument and trading intent count as a single trade for combined risk assessment.

Martingale
No

The FAQ prohibits martingale, anti-martingale and grid, allowing only up to two positions on one asset. The terms also prohibit abusive averaging and excessive exposure.

Limited

Prohibited on InstantGrowth. Other plans remain subject to risk limits and restrictions on excessively speculative strategies.

Maximum Risk Limit
Limited

Instant: 1% of initial balance per trade; Ultra funded and Static in all phases: 2%. Entries on the same instrument within 60 seconds are aggregated. The same strategy across accounts is subject to the aggregate cap described in the copying rule.

Yes

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.

Copy Trading
Limited

Sources conflict: the FAQ allows copying own accounts and the general terms prohibit it without written permission. CFD terms allow the same strategy on own accounts only in the same direction with aggregate per-asset risk up to 2%. Instant prohibits correlation across its accounts. Obtain written approval before using a copier.

Limited

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.

News Trading
Limited

Positions may be held, but not opened or closed from 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after high-impact news, including SL, TP and pending orders. Profits may be excluded; losses remain.

Limited

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

Inactivity Rule

Conflicting sources: the inactivity article states suspension after 60 days without trading; another states 30. The terms also suspend accounts not activated within 30 days. Confirm the applicable period before leaving an account idle.

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

Consistency Rule
Limited

Funded checkout: 40% on 1-Step, Trailing, Static and 3-Step; 25% on Ultra and Pay Later; 20% on Instant. It limits the best day contribution to total profit. The FAQ and terms describe some of these rules as discretionary. Static has none during evaluation. Exceeding it defers payout until compliant.

No
Hold Weekend
Limited

Allowed during evaluation under the terms; prohibited on funded and Instant accounts, including holiday closures. Static funded must close before 21:55 Friday server time, or five minutes before an earlier market close. No funded position may exceed 72 hours.

Limited

Allowed during evaluations; prohibited on funded accounts.

Prohibited Strategies

Any form of arbitrage, HFT, latency or price-error exploitation, abusive gap trading, collusion, cross-account hedging, third-party passing or management services, rule manipulation and abnormal position sizing. Breaches may exclude profits, invalidate phases or terminate connected accounts; losses still count.

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.
