Round-trip commissions vary by instrument.

The official instrument table publishes the exact round-trip cost for each contract.

• 1-Step evaluation: a discounted reset can be purchased within 14 calendar days of a breach.
• 1-Step Funded: up to 2 resets before the first payout, within 14 days of the breach; each costs 5 times the evaluation fee.
• Instant: no standard reset; the same size can be repurchased at a reduced price within 3 calendar days of a breach.

Scaling is available on selected programs and account sizes.

The exact contract limits are shown in each challenge.

• 1-Step: EOD trailing, based on the highest end-of-day balance; it locks at the initial balance once the Profit Buffer is reached.
• Instant: intraday trailing, following the highest balance or open equity.
• Reaching the maximum drawdown is a hard breach.

• Beginner and Beginner Max: trailing End-of-Day drawdown
• HYPER Intra: intraday trailing drawdown
• HYPER Lite and HYPER Pro: trailing End-of-Day drawdown
• Instant Pro Plus and Instant Pro Plus Max: trailing End-of-Day drawdown
• Instant Flex: 4% intraday trailing drawdown; it moves to break-even after the first payout

Calculated from the end-of-day balance. A breach is soft: positions are closed and trading stops for that day; the account is not failed. The new daily limit on 25K 1-Step evaluations applies only to new purchases; existing accounts retain their original rules.

• Beginner: soft daily loss pause
• Beginner Max: hard daily loss breach
• HYPER Intra, Lite and Pro: no daily loss limit during evaluation or simulated funded phase
• Instant Pro Plus: soft daily loss pause
• Instant Pro Plus Max: hard daily loss breach
• Instant Flex: no daily loss limit

Applies only to 1-Step Funded accounts and must remain in the account: $1,000 on $25K, $2,000 on $50K, $3,000 on $100K and $4,500 on $150K. Each payout also requires new profit equal to 1% of the initial balance above the buffer. Instant accounts use a recurring payout milestone instead: $1,450, $3,000, $5,000 and $8,000 respectively.

Beginner Max requires clearing a buffer before the first payout. The standard Beginner account has no buffer requirement.

Bots, EAs and personal automated strategies are allowed if they do not exploit latency, feed errors or the simulated environment.

The trader must remain actively involved. The following are prohibited:

• Fully automated bots
• External execution APIs
• External signal mirroring

Connections must remain stable and verifiable. VPNs, proxies or location masking are prohibited when they impair identity, location or account-control checks.

Hedging within one account is allowed, including mini versus micro positions. Opposing or correlated hedges across separate accounts or prop firms are prohibited.

Microscalping is allowed, but no more than 50% of total profit may come from trades held for less than 30 seconds.

Hyperticks considers repeated trades that are normally held for under 15 seconds and target fewer than 5 ticks to be prohibited microscalping.

Allowed when used responsibly within contract and drawdown limits. Aggressive exposure may be reviewed as gambling behaviour.

Allowed only between accounts personally owned and controlled by the same trader, including their accounts at other prop firms. Third-party signals, accounts and copy services are prohibited.

Allowed without restrictions during the 1-Step evaluation. On 1-Step Funded and Instant accounts, orders cannot be opened, closed or triggered from 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after high-impact news.

• No new trades from 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after a Tier 1 release.
• Existing positions may remain open.
• Stop-loss and take-profit levels cannot be modified during that window.

15 consecutive calendar days without a trade is a hard breach and permanently closes the account.

No consistency rule during the 1-Step evaluation. At payout, one day may represent at most 40% of cycle profit on 1-Step Funded accounts and 20% on Instant accounts.

• Beginner and Beginner Max evaluation: 35%
• Beginner and Beginner Max simulated funded: 40%
• HYPER Intra, Lite and Pro: no consistency rule
• Instant Pro Plus and Instant Pro Plus Max: no consistency rule
