Failed challenges can be repurchased at any time. Funded accounts cannot be reset.

Unlimited resets at no additional cost. Resets within 7 days keep the same Challenge Account; resets after 7 days provide a new one.

Direct Account: funded access without any evaluation phase.

1-Step Prime Challenge: single-phase evaluation with a profit target and consistency requirement.

Live program: whenever accumulated profit reaches 100% of the reference balance, the account grows by 10%. Payouts count toward profit and eligibility is reviewed on payout requests. The Forex scaling ladder does not automatically apply to Futures sim funded.

Evaluation and sim funded: trails the highest end-of-day balance, not intraday unrealized peaks. It only rises and locks at the starting balance after earning the drawdown distance. A payout fixes the floor at the starting balance even if it had not locked yet. Touching it with balance or equity closes the account.

Trailing end-of-day (EOD) system. Locks at the initial account balance and never decreases.

Each product split is listed in its challenge. The live program has its own split and starting-balance release requirements.

• Flex: 95% Reward Share by default for new and existing accounts, with no paid add-on.
• Other Futures challenges: 80% Reward Share.

Prime evaluation and sim funded: no daily cap. Direct: based on the previous closing balance; reaching it closes positions and pauses trading until the next day, without terminating the account for that isolated event. Maximum-loss breaches still terminate the account.

Daily loss limit only on Bolt Challenge ($1,000 soft breach for $50K account). Flex, Legacy and Rapid have no daily loss limit.

Combined sim funded and Direct: up to USD 500,000 or five accounts, whichever comes first. Combined Forex and Futures: USD 800,000. One live account may additionally be held.

After a payout the balance must stay above the starting balance, which becomes the loss floor. Withdrawing all profit would leave no room above that limit.

At most five sim funded or Direct accounts, subject to total allocation; one additional live account. Unlimited evaluation purchases.

Unlimited on all plans.

No time limit. Trade at your own pace until the profit target is met.

None on any plan.

Sim funded: no monthly membership fee; Level 1 data included. Live: professional data, USD 130 per exchange per month or USD 520 for all four, without proration.

Free. No activation fee or recurring charges on the FundedNext Account.

Prime sim funded: five non-consecutive profitable days in every payout cycle, not only the first. Minimum daily profit: 25K, USD 100; 50K, USD 150; 100K, USD 200; 150K, USD 250. Direct has no profitable-day minimum.

• No Benchmark Day requirement. First withdrawal eligible after 3 days if conditions are met.

Legacy FundedNext Account

• Minimum 5 Benchmark Days before first withdrawal.
• Benchmark Day profit thresholds: $100 ($25K account) / $200 ($50K and $100K accounts).

Size-based limits are listed on each challenge. Standard mini:micro ratio is 1:10; Micro Silver has double weighting, and MBT/MET count as minis. No progressive sim funded contract-scaling plan is documented. Live has separate limits.

1-Step Prime is a subscription that renews automatically every 30 days until passing or cancellation. It cannot be paused. Cancellation loses progress and returning requires a new purchase.

One-time fee (no monthly subscription).

EAs and trading bots are allowed on both Challenge and FundedNext Accounts. No support is provided for setup or troubleshooting. Strategies exploiting system vulnerabilities (latency abuse, order flooding) remain prohibited.

Legitimate connections and VPNs outside restricted countries are permitted. Own devices only; travel may require verification. Device or identity sharing may close all accounts.

Stop losses required in sim funded and Direct; without one, a trade is treated as unlimited risk. The per-idea risk rule does not apply during evaluation. No fixed three-minute stop-placement deadline is documented here.

There is no universal minimum holding time. A systematic pattern of sub-three-minute trades without a plan, tick scalping, HFT or latency exploitation is prohibited.

Sim funded and Direct: 2% of the initial balance per idea on Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts; legacy DX Futures accounts use 1%. Not applicable during evaluation. Overlapping positions and same-asset, same-direction re-entries within ten minutes are combined.

Only own Hola Prime challenge or sim funded accounts within the same environment. The lead must have the lowest contract limit. Third-party copiers are used at the trader responsibility; external or other-person accounts cannot be copied.

Evaluation and sim funded: complete at least one round-trip trade within each seven-day period. Live: suspension after 30 calendar days; opening or closing a trade counts as activity.

1-Step Prime Challenge: 40%. Prime funded account: 35%. Direct Account: 20%.
