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.

Yes

The evaluation fee is refundable. Under the published standard conditions, the refund unlocks alongside the fifth successful payout.

Instant Flex: 100% refundable access fee.

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.

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.

Depends on the program. Rapid and Ascend allow an early payout after 3 days with a 40% split. Standard payouts retain an 85% split and require the applicable trading days, profit and SFX Stability Index. Instant Funding (original) and 1-Step Pro allow payout requests once their requirements are met, without a fixed bi-weekly cycle.

Instant Flex: bi-weekly payouts.

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.

Requests are processed within 48 business hours. SFX advertises $1,000 compensation if it misses that deadline.

Crypto Weekend Trading
Limited

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

Yes
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.

Maximum of $10,000 per request for the first two payouts. This limit is removed afterwards.

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.

Payouts below $100 can only be processed through USDT TRC20. Bank transfer is available from $100.

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

Yes
Yes
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.

Rapid: 4% trailing. 1-Step Pro: 6% trailing. Ascend: 8% static. Instant Funding (original): 6% trailing.

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.

Rapid and Instant Funding (original): 3%. 1-Step Pro: no daily limit. Ascend: 4%.

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.

No data
Minimum Profitable Days

Yes
Hedging
Limited

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

Yes
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.

No
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.

Yes
Stacking / Layering (DCA)
Limited

Obtain written approval before using a copier.

No

Limited

Funded accounts restrict trading from 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after high-impact news. News straddling, news bracketing and manipulation of the simulated environment are also 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.

Accounts are closed after 30 days 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.
