Challenges: the fee is refunded after passing, 50% with the first payout (which must be at least 1% of the account size) and 50% with the second. Not available on instant funding. A purchase is only refunded if requested within 7 days with no trading.

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.

No firm fee; network or bank fees are paid by the trader.

Every 14 days. Instant funding: first payout after 20 days per the rules (product pages say 4 weeks), then every 14 days. Two consecutive non compliant requests may suspend the account.

1 Phase Challenge.

• Standard Challenge
• Pro Challenge

On request from the dashboard, after several profitable periods on a funded account. Decided case by case based on consistency and rule compliance, at no cost.

Every 90 days, traders who meet performance and consistency targets see their account balance grow by 30% and their profit split increase by 5%, without ever having to sacrifice withdrawals.

2 Phase Challenge.

• Standard Challenge
• Pro Challenge

Static, measured on the initial capital. Breaching it suspends the account.

Static

Rises with each payout. Challenges: 70%, 75%, 80%, 85% and 90% from the fifth. Instant funding: 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70% and 90% from the sixth.

• Standard Challenge: 80% (up to 95% scaling)
• Pro Challenge: 100%
• Instant Standard: 75% (up to 90%)
• Instant Lite: 70% (up to 85%)

Free Trial 10K, no card needed: 8% target, 5% daily and 10% total loss, no mandatory stop loss. One per email every 30 days; after passing, the account stays open for 24 hours and pays nothing.

Measured on the initial capital, including floating losses; per its forum it resets at midnight UTC. Breaching it suspends the account.

Balance-based

$1,000,000 per account and $3,000,000 combined.

• Challenge Accounts (Standard): Up to $600,000 in purchased capital, scalable to $2,040,000
• Pro Challenge Accounts: Up to $600,000 in purchased capital, scalable to $2,040,000
• Instant Funding (Standard): Up to $200,000 in purchased capital, scalable to $680,000
• Instant Funding Lite: Up to $200,000 in purchased capital, scalable to $680,000

Several accounts at once up to the maximum combined capital. Each one is evaluated separately.

No time limit. The challenge must be activated within 30 days of purchase.

Evaluation: 2 days. Funded account: 14 days before each payout; a day only counts if a trade is opened and closed on it. If a payout is refused, the counter resets.

Funded account: 7 of the 14 minimum days. In evaluation, the FAQ and its comparisons ask for 2 profitable days; the rules page says 2 trading days.

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 1 Step: 3 days
• Challenge 2 Step: 2 days
• Instant Standard: 0 days
• Instant Lite: 5 days
• Finotive Pro 1 Step: 3 days
• Finotive Pro 2 Step: 2 days
• Solo FX: 4 days with at least 0.5% each

Allowed if declared. Undeclared EAs, HFT and abusive AI are prohibited.

• 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

VPN and VPS are prohibited; detection suspends the account.

• 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

Prohibited, including across accounts.

Mandatory when opening and closing every trade. One trade without a stop is tolerated; the second one suspends the account. Can be removed with the paid add-on.

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

Trades under 100 seconds or under 1.5 pips count as prohibited scalping; repeated trades of 2 pips or less are reviewed.

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.

Per trade: maximum loss of 2% and maximum profit of 3%.

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%.

Copying between your own accounts does not count for payouts. Under the "Be copied" program, copied profit can be at most 50% of the eligible profit.

No opening or closing (including a triggered SL/TP) 10 minutes before and after 3 star releases on the TradingView calendar, any currency and symbol. A position opened before the release may be held. Allowed with the paid add-on.

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.

Closed after 15 consecutive days without trading, or suspended after 40 days in loss.

30 days

When requesting a payout, no single trade may exceed 25% of total profit (if it does, the payout is held until rebalanced) and no instrument 80%. Each trade must also be between 1/4 and 2 times the largest lot already used on the account.

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.

HFT and scalping under 100 seconds or under 1.5 pips, martingale, hedging (including across accounts), grid, latency and quote arbitrage, gap trading, exploiting price or platform errors, abusive AI, undeclared EAs, overexposure or gambling, account rolling and third party trading.

• 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
