The fee is refunded with the fourth payout. The statutory 14-day withdrawal right applies only before the first trade is opened.

Every 14 days, with no initial waiting period. There must be no open positions when requesting a payout.

7 days

48-hour guarantee: if Orion does not process the payout on time, it applies a 100% profit split and refunds the evaluation fee.

$100

Swap-free accounts are available as a paid option. Terms and availability depend on the selected product.

With add-on

• Bi-weeky payouts (+15%)
• Weekly payouts (25%)
• 90% Profit Split (+20%)
• 100% Challenge Refund (+10%)
• No minimum trading days (+15%)
• Swap-Free (+10%)

Over a rolling 3-month period: 15% return, at least 2 of 3 profitable months, and 3 payouts. Balance increases by 25%, profit split rises to 90%, and the account can scale up to $4,000,000.

If you meet the requirements of the scaling plan, your funded star account will be increased by 30% of its original size.

• Every funded star account goes through an evaluation over a period of four consecutive months.
• You must be profitable in at least two out of those four months, with a minimum total gain of 10% during the entire four-month period.
• You must also successfully complete at least two payout requests on your funded star account.
• When the scale-up takes place, the balance of the funded star account must be at breakeven or in profit.
• There are no restrictions on upside balance.

The mechanism depends on the product: static on Standard, Swing, and Select; trailing with a lock on Zero and Nova funded accounts.

Static

80% initially. It rises to 90% after meeting the scaling-plan requirements.

EAs are allowed when the strategy is the trader's own and does not breach prohibited practices such as arbitrage, HFT, or exploitation of delays and errors.

Hedging within one account is allowed. Hedging positions across multiple accounts to manipulate results is prohibited.

Manual scalping is allowed, but tick scalping, HFT, and strategies exploiting delays or pricing errors are prohibited.

Multiple positions are allowed as part of a legitimate strategy; excessive or coordinated exposure intended to bypass risk rules is prohibited.

Orion may treat excessive exposure, overleveraging, and other risk practices inconsistent with realistic trading as a breach.

Copying between your own Orion accounts is allowed. Copying signals, third-party accounts, or external services is prohibited.

During evaluation there is no timing restriction, but using news as a strategy is prohibited. On funded accounts, Nova, Standard, and Select prohibit opening or closing trades 2 minutes before and after high-impact news. Swing has no timing restriction. Zero allows it, but trades executed within 5 minutes before or after receive a 50% profit split.

Trading 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the event is prohibited ( this is a soft breach and will not result in your account being breached).

Trading during this window will result in a deduction of the profit that you made on that particular trade.

Executed trades during this period that lead to a loss won't be compensated.

Executing a trade refers to initiating or closing a market order, as well as triggering any pending order, including stop-loss and take-profit instructions.

The account may be closed after prolonged inactivity under Orion's current terms.
