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.

Pro and Prime: 100% of the fee paid is refunded with the fourth successful payout from the same account, not available on Direct. Cancellation refunds must be requested within 14 days without any trading activity.

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.

2.5% per payout. Minimum fee: USD 25 for bank wire or Rise; USD 5 for crypto.

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.

Pro and Prime: on-demand, biweekly or monthly cycle selected at purchase; it cannot be changed later. Direct: every 14 days from the first trade in the cycle. After a payout, a new trade starts the next cycle. 2-Step Fly: anytime, several times a day.

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.

Processing within one hour of an eligible request, following a prior review of up to 24 business hours. Business days only; additional verification or incomplete details may cause delays.

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

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.

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.

Bank wire or crypto: USD 50. Rise: USD 500. Thresholds apply to the trader share, excluding the firm share. 2-Step Fly: profit of at least 1% of the starting balance on 10K and 25K, 0.5% from 50K.

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.

Pro: 100:1. Prime, Direct and 2-Step Fly: 50:1. Exotic pairs: Pro 10:1; Prime, Direct and 2-Step Fly 5:1.

Pro: 20:1. Prime, Direct and 2-Step Fly: 10:1.

Normal swaps by default. The FAQ allows requesting a swap-free alternative if available; it is absent from the public checkout add-on catalogue reviewed.

Optional at purchase for all Forex accounts; pricing is listed under Add-ons.

No account reset. After a breach, a coupon may be provided to purchase a new challenge.

After a hard breach a new evaluation or account can be purchased.

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.

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.

Four-month cycles from the first trade: at least 10% net profit, two profitable months, two payouts and a positive balance. Manual request required.

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.

Pro and Prime: static floor based on the initial balance, also monitored against floating equity. Direct: trails the highest end-of-day balance, only moves upward and locks at the starting balance after the full drawdown distance is earned. A payout does not lower that floor. 2-Step Fly: static in evaluation; in sim funded, trails the highest end-of-day balance and locks at 3% below the initial balance.

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 day closing balance and includes realized and floating results. Resets at 17:00 EST as stated by Hola Prime. Breaching it is a hard breach. 2-Step Fly: evaluation only; no daily limit in sim funded.

Standard combined allocation across sim funded and Direct accounts: USD 400,000 per trader or strategy. USD 90,000 cap for Nigeria, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Israel, Thailand, Botswana, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Jamaica and Mozambique. Combined Forex and Futures: USD 800,000. Prime Circle and scaling have separate conditions.

No limit on concurrent challenges under one personal profile, subject to the combined funded allocation limit. Checkout limits each purchase to ten units per variant.

Evaluations: unlimited purchases. Sim funded and Direct: up to four 50K accounts, two 100K accounts or one 200K account, within the total allocation limit. 100K and 200K accounts cannot be active together. Direct: at most two active accounts.

Only same-model Pro or Prime sim funded accounts, with no open trades or active cycle and a combined balance matching an available size. Unavailable for evaluations, Direct or PCP. Allocation limits and promotional-account exclusions apply.

No maximum time to pass phases; the inactivity rule still applies.

No evaluation deadline, subject to the inactivity rule.

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.

Pro: two days per phase. Prime 1-Step: two days. Prime 2-Step: three days per phase. Direct: no minimum. A day counts when at least one trade is opened. 2-Step Fly: three days in Phase 1, none in Phase 2.

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.

Prime Circle: five lifetime Forex payouts, with no consecutive-payout or minimum-amount requirement. Only master payouts count when copying. Automatic eligibility subject to compliance, Platinum support, one pre-trading platform switch and allocation growth: USD 25,000 per three unique payouts of at least 1.5%, up to USD 1 million. The geographic USD 90,000 cap remains.

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.

Pro and Prime: three profitable days per biweekly cycle or seven per monthly cycle. Each day requires at least 0.5% net of the initial balance, measured using the lower of closing balance and equity minus the previous closing balance. On-demand uses consistency and minimum-profit requirements. Direct has no profitable-day minimum. 2-Step Fly: no profitable-day minimum.

The table shows the base biweekly 80% option. Pro and Prime also offer on-demand 80% and monthly 95% with an advertised 20% surcharge; Direct offers a separately priced biweekly 90% variant. The cycle is selected at purchase and cannot be changed later.

A hard breach forfeits profits and pending payouts. Forex daily-loss-only exception: profits may still be paid if every trade had a stop loss and no trade exceeded 1% of the initial balance in profit or loss.

Pro sim funded: maximum open exposure of 10 lots on 25K, 20 on 50K, 40 on 100K and 80 on 200K; no cap on 5K and 10K. From the second scaling, each step adds 10% of the original cap. Prime and Direct: no explicit lot cap, subject to idea risk. First violation: closure, deduction and requested reactivation; second: 30% split and termination. 2-Step Fly sim funded: 5 lots per order.

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.

Hedging within a single account is allowed. Hedging across multiple accounts (offsetting buy/sell positions on the same instrument) is prohibited.

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.

Required on sim funded and Direct accounts. There is no fixed three-minute deadline; it must be placed before closing. A trade without a stop loss is treated as unlimited risk and can cause account closure.

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.

Prime, and Pro and Prime evaluations: allowed. Pro sim funded and Direct: no opening or closing affected instruments from five minutes before to five minutes after high-impact news, including SL, TP and pending orders. Previously opened positions may be held. Pro: offending profit removed; Direct: account closure. PCP also restricts Prime news trading. 2-Step Fly: restricted around high-impact news in evaluation; allowed in sim funded.

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.

Hard breach after 30 consecutive calendar days without opening a trade, in evaluation and sim funded. Closing trades, changing SL/TP or placing pending orders does not count as activity.

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 consistency target to pass Pro or Prime. On-demand sim funded: best day at most 40% of cycle profit and total profit of at least 2% of the initial balance. Direct: best day at most 20%.
