Max Drawdown

Static on every plan: the floor stays fixed below the starting balance and is measured on equity, floating loss included. Touching it ends the account.

Static and balance based; floating or realized losses can trigger a breach. Funded PFP: Low 5%, Moderate 6%, Medium 7% and High 10%. AADS closes positions and switches to B Book at a 1% loss below initial balance; recover initial balance and reactivate in the dashboard to return to A Book. B Book profit is not withdrawable. A cumulative A Book loss limit also follows the account daily limit; on InstantGrowth it is 6%.

Profit Split

Edge rises 5 points per scaling cycle up to 95%; Instant Pro up to 90%; Instant Go up to 85%. Prime moves to 100% after 30 days funded and does not rise with scaling. Each strike pays the next payout at 10%.

Expert Advisor (EA)
Limited

Only EAs the trader developed and controls, and can explain and show running. Bought, rented or subscription bots are prohibited.

Limited

EAs are allowed; no HFT, latency arbitrage, error exploitation or abusive automation.

VPN
No

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.

No data
Hedging
Limited

Within one account, yes. Prohibited across accounts, yours or others', and against other firms or brokers.

Netting accounts offset opposite orders in the same symbol. Cross account hedging is prohibited.

Requires Stop Loss
No
Limited

PFP Low: stop at opening and closing, with up to 20 seconds to place it. Moderate: stop before closing. Medium, High, Classic and InstantGrowth: no general requirement. An accidental position fully closed within 10 seconds does not by itself change risk group.

Scalping
Limited

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.

Limited

No minimum holding time under the current terms; no tick scalping or HFT.

Stacking / Layering (DCA)
No data
Limited

Partial entries are allowed; all positions with the same instrument and trading intent count as a single trade for combined risk assessment.

Martingale
No

Grid and martingale strategies that add exposure into losses are prohibited.

Limited

Prohibited on InstantGrowth. Other plans remain subject to risk limits and restrictions on excessively speculative strategies.

Maximum Risk Limit
Limited

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.

Yes

Per trade: Classic and PFP evaluation 3%; InstantGrowth 2%. Funded PFP Low/Moderate/Medium/High: 1%/1.5%/2%/3% of opening balance. Exceeding the assigned group pauses funding and closes positions; resuming requires paying the fee difference for the new group.

Copy Trading
Limited

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.

Limited

Own account copying is allowed during evaluation only. Prohibited on funded accounts, including your own. While one funded account holds an asset, other funded accounts of the same user or network cannot open that asset in either direction.

News Trading

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.

Limited

Trading through news is allowed. Bracketing high impact news with nearby buy and sell stops is prohibited.

Inactivity Rule

30 days without a closed trade ends the account.

The account may be terminated after 3 consecutive months of inactivity.

Consistency Rule
Limited

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.

No
