Core and Flash: evaluation fee refunded with the first payout. Value: 100% refund of the evaluation fee with the third payout. Not refundable on Instant challenges, nor if the evaluation is failed.

Full refund if profitable 30 days after funding.

Solo FX: The Dashboard and launch announcement say the fee is refunded after 30 funded days if the account is profitable. Schedule 10A-1 says it is refunded upon approval of the first Reward Payment Request. Finotive's Terms state that the Schedule prevails; confirm with support before purchase.

Funded Stage Refresh

• Resets your account balance back to the original starting equity
• Preserves your profit split rate and any progress made in the Scaling Plan
• There is a maximum of 3 refreshes per funded account
• The price depends on the size of the account

Minimum profitable days number must be met every time a trader wants to pass an evaluation phase, scale a funded account or request a payout. A day is considered profitable when it reaches at least 0.5% profit

• Challenge 2 Step: 2 days
• Instant Standard: 0 days
• Instant Lite: 5 days
• Finotive Pro 1 Step: 3 days

EAs are allowed but require pre-approval by email (support@onefunded.com). EAs that execute trades automatically on behalf of the trader are not allowed; EAs that act as trading assistants (lot size, risk management, position sizing) are allowed.

• Solo FX: all Expert Advisors and automated execution tools are prohibited
• Other programmes: pre-purchased or mass-market “plug-and-play” EAs are not allowed

• Solo FX: VPNs, proxies and location masking are prohibited
• Other programmes: Finotive's Terms prohibit masked or unstable connections when they impair verification of identity, location or account control

• Solo FX: stop loss is not required
• Other programmes: stop loss is required

Accounts with the unified High-Frequency Trading rule active: up to 20% of profit may come from trades held for two minutes or less. The rule becomes active after the first 10 closed trades and is tracked in the dashboard. Exceeding the limit does not generate a strike, but the percentage must return within 20% before requesting a payout.

Solo FX has no specific scalping, rapid-trade-opening, trades-under-60-seconds or HFT restriction. Latency arbitrage and execution abuse remain prohibited.

Max Exposure Rule: floating loss per trade idea may not exceed 3% of Start-of-Trade-Idea Equity (1% on Instant accounts). Max Margin Utilization monitored at 50%.

Floating drawdown is calculated per symbol against the initial account balance.

• Instant Funding: 1.5%. The first confirmed breach produces a formal warning. From the second confirmed breach onward, each separate event records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.
• Funded Challenge and Funded Pro: 2%. Each confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.
• Challenge and Pro evaluation phases: 2%. It is monitored for the progression report but does not trigger a real-time strike or account closure.
• Solo FX: 2.5% during Simulated Funded Status only. A confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.

Copy trading is permitted only between your own OneFunded accounts. External copy trading or signal mirroring (Telegram, Discord, social networks, third-party copiers) is prohibited.

Trading during high-impact news is allowed, but the News Volatility Period (5 minutes before and after the release) is monitored. Trades that appear to exploit volatility or news-driven price spikes may trigger compliance review and corrective actions.

News trading is allowed. For Solo FX, the Dashboard and launch announcement prohibit news straddling, but Schedule 10A-1 disapplies the Terms section that prohibits it. Confirm this contradiction with Finotive before trading news.

60 days in evaluation phase, 30 days in funded phase.

30 days

Evaluation phases: no consistency rule, except on 100K and 200K account sizes (where the Best Day Profit Ratio cap applies). Live (funded) phase: 50% Best Day Profit Ratio cap across Core, Value and Flash. The rule does not breach the account; it only blocks phase passing or payout until the ratio falls within the cap.

Pro accounts — from the 31st funded day

• Weekly trade count and instrument volume must remain within ±25% of the averages recorded during the Pro Challenge and the first 30 funded days.
• During every rolling 90-day period, realised and unrealised profit, including rewards already paid, must total at least 5% of the initial balance.
• Breaching either condition downgrades the account to the equivalent standard funded account and permanently removes the Pro benefits.

Instant Funding Standard and Lite

• At payout, the single most profitable closed trade must contribute less than 60% of total positive realised profit. Requesting a payout while the condition remains active records one Conditional Strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%.

Solo FX

• No specific consistency rule or single-trade profit dependency.

Weekend holding is available through the optional Weekend Holding Add-On on Instant Funding accounts. Without it, all non-crypto positions must be closed before Friday's 17:00 New York market close; Finotive recommends closing at least 10 minutes earlier. Each confirmed breach records one strike and reduces that payout cycle's reward payment to 10%. Five cumulative strikes permanently close the account.

• Latency arbitrage and reverse arbitrage
• Tick scalping designed to exploit microstructure or pricing refresh
• Cross-account hedging (between OneFunded accounts or with external accounts)
• One-sided bets / aggressive averaging into losses
• Martingale and grid recovery systems with uncontrolled exposure
• External copy trading or signal mirroring without authorization
• Account management by third parties or account passing services
• Data freezing, gap billing, delayed or slow data feeds

• Excessive notional volume (not applicable to Solo FX; its exposure is governed by the margin requirement applicable to the account)
• High-frequency stacking, including correlated instruments (not a Solo FX-specific restriction; latency arbitrage and execution abuse remain prohibited)
• Martingale or grid strategies
• News straddling (the Solo FX dashboard and announcement prohibit it, but Schedule 10A-1 disapplies section 7.9; confirm with support)
• Using ultra-tight stops just to mask oversized lots
