Only EAs the trader developed and controls, and can explain and show running. Bought, rented or subscription bots 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
Hiding your location with a VPN, proxy or remote desktop is prohibited and triggers a new identity check. Your own EA on a VPS is allowed if disclosed.
- 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
Within one account, yes. Prohibited across accounts, yours or others', and against other firms or brokers.
- Solo FX: stop loss is not required
- Other programmes: stop loss is required
Yes. Once funded, trades under 120 seconds may make at most 20% of profit from the tenth closed trade; above that, payouts pause until it is back under. Not measured in the evaluation.
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.
Grid and martingale strategies that add exposure into losses are prohibited.
Max. Exposure: open notional may not exceed 5,000% of the balance at 2.5K down to 1,000% at 200K. Funded accounts also have a max floating loss per trade. Each gives a warning that, if the account is in profit, resets it to the starting balance; the second ends the account. Instant: max 1.5% floating loss per symbol.
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%.
Only to copy your own trading: between your own CFD accounts or from your own master account at another broker or firm. Signals and third-party accounts are prohibited.
Allowed at every stage. Straddling is prohibited: opposite or offsetting positions on the same or correlated instruments within 15 minutes of a red or amber release; the risk desk reviews it.
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.
30 days without a closed trade ends the account.
30 days
No best-day rule. A single trade may not exceed 60% of profit; if it does, payouts pause until it is back under. On funded Prime, every 7 days the trade count and volume per instrument must stay within ±25% of the average, or the account moves to a standard funded 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%.
- Overlapping positions on the same instrument and direction count as one combined position, and partial closures do not create separate positions. There are no one-sided trading limits and volume per instrument is not checked.
Solo FX
- No specific consistency rule or single-trade profit dependency.
Only with the add-on. Without it, positions are closed at 4:45 PM New York time on Friday: the first time is a warning, the second ends the account.
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.
Latency or price-error arbitrage, hedging across accounts or firms, coordinated trading, third-party management, bought bots, gap exploitation, grid and martingale, doubling size after a loss the same day, swap-free abuse and churning accounts. At most 20% of profit may come from the 21:00 to 22:59 UTC window.
- 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
