News Trading
Limited

Do not open new trades or increase existing ones within 3 minutes before or after high-impact economic releases or official speeches, as this behavior may be considered excessive risk-taking.

Inactivity Rule

6 months

Accounts inactive for 30 days are subject to closure.

Consistency Rule
Yes

The formula for calculation of the Consistency Score is: [1 - (most profitable trading day)/(combined profit on all profitable days)]*100:

  1. If the score is above 70 then the trader is considered as consistent.
  2. If the score lies between 50 - 70 then the risk team will manually review the account and decide whether the trader should continue trading until the score becomes above 70 or pass them.
  3. If the score is less than 50, then the trader shall continue trading the account until the score reaches above 50 and then the risk team can take a call.
Yes

Instant (all)

  • If a single day's profit is more than 20% of your total profit in the Instant Funding Account, you have to keep trading until the best day profit is less than 20% of the total profit.
