Limited

Allowed when used responsibly within the contract and loss limits; aggressive sequences are reviewed.

Maximum Risk Limit
Limited

A cap on contracts open at once; exceeding it once is a warning, the second time goes to review.

Free during the One Step evaluation. Funded and on Instant, no trade may be opened or closed 2 minutes either side of red USD news: profit from those trades is removed. Two warnings; the third goes to review.

Yes
Inactivity Rule

15 days without trading deactivates the account; an open position does not count.

No day may exceed 40% of the cycle's profit on funded One Step (none in the evaluation) or 20% on Instant. Until met, the payout waits.
