Swap Free
Yes

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

No

Overnight funding is 0.05% of notional, the same for longs and shorts. Crypto, stocks, indices and commodities: 00:30 UTC, including weekends. Forex: 21:00 UTC, triple on Wednesday and no separate Saturday or Sunday charge.

Add-ons
No

Profit-share upgrade available at purchase. Variants and their prices are shown in the challenges.

One Step
Yes
Yes
Account scaling
Yes

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.

No

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

Two Steps
Yes
Yes
Max Drawdown

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

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.

Profit Split

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

No data
Free Trial
No
No

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.

Daily Drawdown

Calculated on equity and includes open trades, commissions, and swaps. The applicable percentage is shown on each challenge.

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.

Three Steps
Yes
No data
Max Allocation
400,000
200,000
Maximum Accounts

Maximum combined initial allocation of $400,000.

One registered profile and verified identity. Multiple challenges and funded accounts may sit under that profile; each is assessed separately and results cannot offset one another.

Merge Accounts
No
No
Maximum Trading Days

No maximum time limit.

No completion deadline; the inactivity rule still applies.

Minimum Trading Days

Standard, Swing, and Select require 4 minimum trading days per evaluation phase. Zero and Nova have no published minimum.

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.

Account Reset
No data

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

Minimum Profitable Days
No data

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.

Expert Advisor (EA)
Yes

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.

Limited

Self-built or publicly available commercial EAs, bots and AI are allowed in evaluation and funded accounts. REST and WebSocket API included without fee or approval; no FIX or L2/L3 depth through the API. MT4/MT5 EAs need a bridge or adaptation. Private, exclusive or bespoke signals are prohibited.

VPN
Yes
Yes

VPNs, VPSs and IP changes are allowed. Only the verified owner may trade; access sharing remains prohibited.

Hedging
Limited

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

Limited

Only within the same account. Cross-account, cross-platform and cross-firm hedging is prohibited, including via copiers. First offence involving one trade: trades closed and a one-time warning per user; multiple trades or repetition: permanent closure.

Requires Stop Loss
No
No

Optional. A triggered Stop Loss exits at market and may slip. Stop Limit orders are disabled.

Scalping
Limited

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

Limited

Ordinary scalping is allowed; tick scalping, HFT and pricing or latency exploitation are prohibited.

Stacking / Layering (DCA)
Limited

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

No data
Martingale
No
No
Maximum Risk Limit
Limited

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

Limited

No general numeric per-trade cap. Leverage, equity limits and the ban on abusive risk still apply. Single stocks have per-company and total exposure limits published on the platform, with possible short restrictions.

Copy Trading
Limited

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

Limited

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.

News Trading
Limited

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.

Limited

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.

Inactivity Rule
Limited

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

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.

Consistency Rule
Limited

The 20% Best Day rule applies only to Orion Zero and Orion Nova funded accounts.

No

No cap on a winning day's share of profit; qualifying-day requirements and prohibited strategies still apply.

Hold Weekend
Yes
Limited

Allowed, including forex. Single stocks may have size limits, weekend bans or mandatory out-of-hours closure by instrument. Equity limits and overnight costs continue to apply.

Prohibited Strategies
  • Latency arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, and exploitation of prices or delays
  • HFT, tick scalping, and strategies designed to exploit the simulated environment
  • Copy trading from third parties or signal services

  • Gambling behaviour, overleveraging, and excessive exposure

Martingale, grid, arbitrage, tick scalping, HFT, latency or error exploitation, private or bespoke signals, account sharing, insider information, coordinated risk elimination and account rolling. Abusive overleveraging, correlated overexposure and repeatedly adding to losing positions are also prohibited. Profits may be removed, payouts withheld or accounts closed.
