Account Reset
Limited

Voluntary evaluation reset with no open positions: a new account at 20% off the current price. After a breach, a paid restart for 7 days. Funded accounts can buy a reset while under 10% of the max loss has been used.

Surrender Account (3-Step Program)

  • You must not have taken a loss greater than 1% on any single position.
  • All open positions must be closed before the surrender is submitted.

Smart Restart Guarantee (1-Step Career Evaluation)

To receive a free restart, both of the following must be met during your first attempt:

  • No individual trade may incur a loss greater than 1% of the account balance.
  • Your maximum overall drawdown must remain better than −5%

1-Step Max
Up to 3 free evaluation restarts. Surrender before breach, with drawdown within 5% and no trade risking more than 1%.

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

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.

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.

Limited

1-Step Max: maximum 1% combined open risk per symbol, not across the entire account. Positions on different symbols have separate 1% limits. During evaluation, symbol-risk, missing-stop-loss and maximum-position-risk violations share one counter: warnings on strikes 1 and 2; hard breach on strike 3. On funded accounts, the first violation is a hard breach. The purchased no-stop-loss add-on exception still applies.

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.

Yes

Allowed between Lark Simulated Funded Accounts. Not allowed between Evaluation Accounts

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.

Inactivity Rule

30 days without a closed trade ends the account.

30 days

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
Hold Weekend
Limited

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.

Yes

It is necessary to buy the add-on at the check-out (+10%
