Allowed under the firm's EA conditions, including current Synthetics. Legacy synthetic accounts prohibit EAs until passing their current evaluation phase or their next funded payout.

You are allowed to use a VPN or VPS as long as it has a Static IP.

Also be aware that the IP rule restricts multiple accounts from different individuals from being accessed from the same IP address to ensure the integrity and fairness of our trading environment.

• Hedging/reverse trades are permitted within a single account.
• Cross-account hedging is strictly prohibited.

Allowed. Synthetics: within the same trading account only.

Tick scalping (holding trades for only a few seconds to capture minimal price movements) is prohibited. Regular scalping is allowed; the previous "50% of trades > 1 minute" rule was removed for accounts purchased after March 12, 2026.
Funded Synthetics: profits from full or partial closes inside 5 minutes are removed at payout. Soft breach; the account stays open. Legacy accounts apply this after their next payout.

Allowed on other account types. Prohibited on Synthetics under the current rules. Legacy synthetic accounts retain permission until passing their current evaluation phase or their next funded payout.

Flex 1 Step (evaluation and funded): 1% Risk Per Trade Idea from the initial account size. Positions on the same instrument count as one idea. The first automatic breach is soft and the second is hard; aggregated re-entry losses may cause direct account closure.

Other Funded Accounts purchased after March 12, 2026 (Prime excluded): 1.5% Risk Per Trade Idea. A "trade idea" includes your initial position and any positions opened in the same direction within 10 minutes of closing a losing trade. The combined loss across all positions in that window cannot exceed 1.5% of your initial account size.

Optional Add-On at checkout: Upgrade to 2% Risk Per Trade Idea for more drawdown room.

Instant Lite (accounts purchased from August 17, 2026): once the account reaches 4% in profit, a 1% maximum risk per trade applies.

• Only allowed if you own all accounts involved.

• Violations may result in position closure, P&L removal, leverage reduction, or account breach.

• Flex 1 Step: do not open or close positions within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news event, during either evaluation or funded stages. Holding through news is allowed. Strikes carry over: the first deducts the profit, the second also reduces the profit split from 85% to 60%, and the third closes the account
• Other accounts: do not open new trades within 2 minutes before or after a scheduled high-impact news release. You may close or manage existing trades, and take-profits, stop-losses and partial closes remain permitted
