Swap Free
Limited

Paid add-on with a fixed price per size, from $9 (2.5K) to $146 (200K). Reviewed if profit comes mainly from positions held through the rollover.

No

Overnight funding is 0.05% of notional, the same for longs and shorts. Crypto, stocks, indices and commodities: 00:30 UTC, including weekends. Forex: 21:00 UTC, triple on Wednesday and no separate Saturday or Sunday charge.

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.

No resets or standard free retakes. A failed challenge requires a new purchase.

Add-ons
Yes

Weekend Holding (20% of the fee) and Swap-Free (fixed price per size). Bought with the account and non-refundable.

Yes

Profit-share upgrade available at purchase. Variants and their prices are shown in the challenges.

Instant
Yes
No
One Step
Yes
Yes
Account scaling
Yes

Automatic 90-day cycles: +30% size (up to 680K; 340K on Instant) and +5 split points. They require 50 trades, 12% net (1 Step), 10% (2 Step) or 15% (Instant), 2 of 3 profitable months (all 3 on Instant and Prime), no trade above 7.5% of profit (5% on Instant and Prime) and no warning.

No

No published scaling plan. Increasing capital requires additional accounts within the maximum allocation.

Two Steps
Yes
Yes
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 against each phase's starting balance, including funded accounts. It does not trail profits or move with payouts. Balance and floor reset at the start of the second phase. Equity reaching or falling below the floor, including floating losses, closes the account.

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%.

No data
Free Trial
Yes

One free Edge 1 Step 100K for 14 days under the paid rules, after KYC approval. It never funds or pays out; passing it gives a 20% code valid for 30 days.

No

Free read-only DXtrade guest access to view instruments and prices, without trading. Sprint offers challenge prizes, with award-specific profit splits and payout caps.

Daily Drawdown

Measured from the previous day's closing balance (5 PM New York), floating loss included. Touching it ends the account.

Recalculated at 00:30 UTC from the higher of balance or equity at that moment. Floating profit can raise the reference; the resulting floor is monitored against real-time equity. Reaching or falling below it breaches the account.

Three Steps
No
No data
Max Allocation

$1.5M per person across all CFD and futures accounts.

200,000
Maximum Accounts

One user per person, with as many accounts as the $1.5M limit allows. Up to 5 accounts per order, with a 10% to 25% bundle discount.

One registered profile and verified identity. Multiple challenges and funded accounts may sit under that profile; each is assessed separately and results cannot offset one another.

Merge Accounts
No data
No
Maximum Trading Days

No time limit in the evaluation or once funded.

No completion deadline; the inactivity rule still applies.

Minimum Trading Days
No data

Five qualifying days, not necessarily consecutive, per evaluation phase. The count resets on funding and must be met again before the first payout, but not subsequent payouts.

Monthly Competition
No
No data
Minimum Profitable Days

Profitable day: a close at +0.5% of the account size. To pass, 3 on 1 Step and 2 per phase on 2 Step. Before each payout: 3 (1 Step), 2 (2 Step), 5 (Instant Go) and none on Instant Pro.

A qualifying day requires net realised profit of at least 0.8% of the starting balance. Days run from 00:30 to 00:30 UTC. Holding a position open does not add days.

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

Self-built or publicly available commercial EAs, bots and AI are allowed in evaluation and funded accounts. REST and WebSocket API included without fee or approval; no FIX or L2/L3 depth through the API. MT4/MT5 EAs need a bridge or adaptation. Private, exclusive or bespoke signals are prohibited.

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.

Yes

VPNs, VPSs and IP changes are allowed. Only the verified owner may trade; access sharing remains prohibited.

Hedging
Limited

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

Limited

Only within the same account. Cross-account, cross-platform and cross-firm hedging is prohibited, including via copiers. First offence involving one trade: trades closed and a one-time warning per user; multiple trades or repetition: permanent closure.

Requires Stop Loss
No
No

Optional. A triggered Stop Loss exits at market and may slip. Stop Limit orders are disabled.

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

Ordinary scalping is allowed; tick scalping, HFT and pricing or latency exploitation are prohibited.

Martingale
No

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

No
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

No general numeric per-trade cap. Leverage, equity limits and the ban on abusive risk still apply. Single stocks have per-company and total exposure limits published on the platform, with possible short restrictions.

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

Only between accounts owned by the same trader. Public signal services and commercial EAs are allowed without subscriber coordination. Copying other people's accounts, third-party management and private, exclusive or bespoke signals are prohibited.

News Trading
Limited

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

Macro news trading is allowed. For single stocks, close from 24 hours before to 24 hours after earnings and ex-dividend events. Close before other corporate actions announced at least one day in advance; reopen when normal trading resumes.

Inactivity Rule

30 days without a closed trade ends the account.

Deactivated after 30 calendar days without valid activity, counted from assignment or the latest trade close. A trade held at least 60 seconds qualifies; open positions pause the timer and pending orders do not count. One support-requested reactivation is available within six months; afterwards it may be treated as a hard breach.

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

No cap on a winning day's share of profit; qualifying-day requirements and prohibited strategies still apply.

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.

Limited

Allowed, including forex. Single stocks may have size limits, weekend bans or mandatory out-of-hours closure by instrument. Equity limits and overnight costs continue to apply.

Prohibited Strategies

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.

Martingale, grid, arbitrage, tick scalping, HFT, latency or error exploitation, private or bespoke signals, account sharing, insider information, coordinated risk elimination and account rolling. Abusive overleveraging, correlated overexposure and repeatedly adding to losing positions are also prohibited. Profits may be removed, payouts withheld or accounts closed.
