• Challenge reset available at any time via dashboard for a fee

No resets or standard free retakes. A failed challenge requires a new purchase.

• No Minimum Trading Days: available on Classic
• Swing Account: available on all challenge types (Classic, One Phase, and Pro)

• Continues until account reaches $5 million

No published scaling plan. Increasing capital requires additional accounts within the maximum allocation.

Challenge Accounts

• Fixed percentage of initial balance for the lifetime of the account

Instant Account

• 6% trailing drawdown based on EOD Equity or Balance (whichever is higher)
• Drawdown trails upward with profits until reaching the initial account balance
• Once reaching initial balance, drawdown becomes static and fixed

Static against each phase's starting balance, including funded accounts. It does not trail profits or move with payouts. Balance and floor reset at the start of the second phase. Equity reaching or falling below the floor, including floating losses, closes the account.

• Standard: 80% on all withdrawals
• 90% available via add-on on Classic and One-Phase

Free read-only DXtrade guest access to view instruments and prices, without trading. Sprint offers challenge prizes, with award-specific profit splits and payout caps.

Challenge Accounts

• Daily Drawdown calculated on account starting balance at 5 PM EST snapshot
• Equity cannot drop below the allowed daily percentage

Instant Account

• 3% based on EOD Equity or Balance (whichever is higher)
• Measured at 00:00 GMT+3 server time
• Does not reset intraday; resets at start of next trading day

Recalculated at 00:30 UTC from the higher of balance or equity at that moment. Floating profit can raise the reference; the resulting floor is monitored against real-time equity. Reaching or falling below it breaches the account.

No maximum time limit to complete the Challenge.

No completion deadline; the inactivity rule still applies.

Classic, Pro and One-Phase

• Minimum trading days apply (exact count available on dashboard)
• "No Minimum Trading Days" add-on available on Classic

Instant Program

• 5 profitable simulated trading days required
• Each day must achieve at least +0.5% simulated profit
• Days do not need to be consecutive
• Loss or breakeven days do not count

Five qualifying days, not necessarily consecutive, per evaluation phase. The count resets on funding and must be met again before the first payout, but not subsequent payouts.

• Instant Program requires 5 profitable trading days with at least +0.5% profit each
• Days do not need to be consecutive

A qualifying day requires net realised profit of at least 0.8% of the starting balance. Days run from 00:30 to 00:30 UTC. Holding a position open does not add days.

Only between accounts owned by the same trader. Public signal services and commercial EAs are allowed without subscriber coordination. Copying other people's accounts, third-party management and private, exclusive or bespoke signals are prohibited.

Macro news trading is allowed. For single stocks, close from 24 hours before to 24 hours after earnings and ex-dividend events. Close before other corporate actions announced at least one day in advance; reopen when normal trading resumes.

• 30 consecutive days without placing or closing a trade results in automatic account failure
• Applies to Challenge, Instant, and Funded Stage accounts
• No refunds or renewals for inactivity breaches

Deactivated after 30 calendar days without valid activity, counted from assignment or the latest trade close. A trade held at least 60 seconds qualifies; open positions pause the timer and pending orders do not count. One support-requested reactivation is available within six months; afterwards it may be treated as a hard breach.
