PineX Points: 1 point per euro spent, redeemable for accounts, add-ons, discounts and rewards.

Multiple accounts are allowed. Eligible traders may combine them up to USD 600,000 in active allocation.

EAs, bots, scripts and tools that automatically open, close or manage trades are not allowed.

The firm expressly discourages VPN or VPS use and prohibits sharing devices or access credentials.

This rule doesn't apply when buying the add-on at the check-out (+10%)

A stop loss is not mandatory, but exposure above 10 times the starting capital with more than 50% of trades lacking an SL may be treated as abuse.

Scalping is allowed, but Quick Strike/HFT, extremely short holding times and mass order activity are prohibited.

A maximum of two simultaneous open positions in the same market and direction within one trade idea.

1-Step Max: maximum 1% combined open risk per symbol, not across the entire account. Positions on different symbols have separate 1% limits. During evaluation, symbol-risk, missing-stop-loss and maximum-position-risk violations share one counter: warnings on strikes 1 and 2; hard breach on strike 3. On funded accounts, the first violation is a hard breach. The purchased no-stop-loss add-on exception still applies.

Instant PineX: maximum 2% of starting capital per trade idea. Instant Elite: maximum 1% floating loss. No fixed per-trade percentage applies on 1-Step or 2-Step, but the general excessive-risk rules still apply.

Allowed between Lark Simulated Funded Accounts. Not allowed between Evaluation Accounts

Mirroring, third-party executed signals and copying between accounts are prohibited.

Positions on the affected instrument cannot be opened or closed during the 5 minutes before and after red-folder news. Automatic SL or TP closures also count.
