Montly fee
Only self-developed or transparent systems with full source access and control over their logic. No commercial black-box bots, HFT or arbitrage.
Allowed for security or connectivity, never to conceal identity or bypass restrictions.
Not recommended
No HFT or tick scalping. Payouts require the 15-second rule: at least half of trades and profits must come from trades exceeding that threshold, as described in payout help.
Position Loss plans aggregate all trades in the same market, including fees, spread and slippage. Limit: 1% in evaluation and 0.5% funded/Instant. Two soft closures; the third breach ends the account. Rapid Futures does not use this limit.
Closure after 8 calendar days without trading. Opening or closing a trade resets the timer; an open position pauses it.
Core: 30% funded and Instant, none during evaluation. Rapid: 40% during evaluation; none for funded Rapid Daily. Rapid Futures 3D: 40% per funded cycle. Resets after each payout.
Evaluation phase: In order to complete the evaluation, no single trading day can account for 30% or more of your total PnL.

- Exploiting platform errors.
- Disruptive trading or spoofing.
- Excessive daily contracts.
- Collusion and manipulation.
- AI or high-speed abuse.
- Unrealistic market behavior.
