When not allowed, it is prohibited to execute or close any trade within the window of 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after a high-impact news event.

Limited

Do not open new trades or increase existing ones within 3 minutes before or after high-impact economic releases or official speeches, as this behavior may be considered excessive risk-taking.

Inactivity Rule

6 months

Consistency Rule
Yes
  • 1-Step FLASH: no consistency rule. Funded accounts have a 3% maximum daily profit cap; once reached the account pauses until the next trading day and the excess is voided (not a breach).
  • 1-Step NOVA: 20% ESS required to request a payout.
  • 2-Step PRO v2: no consistency rule. Funded accounts cap profit at $3,000 per day.

ESS = [ Largest Winning Day + Largest Losing Day |Absolute value| ] ÷ Total Profit × 100

Yes

The formula for calculation of the Consistency Score is: [1 - (most profitable trading day)/(combined profit on all profitable days)]*100:

  1. If the score is above 70 then the trader is considered as consistent.
  2. If the score lies between 50 - 70 then the risk team will manually review the account and decide whether the trader should continue trading until the score becomes above 70 or pass them.
  3. If the score is less than 50, then the trader shall continue trading the account until the score reaches above 50 and then the risk team can take a call.
