Current CFD programs use three systems:
- Dynamic Risk Shield™: 6% on Ash and Thunderbolt, 7% on Vanguard, 5% on Oracle and 4% on Ember. It trails the equity high-water mark and locks at the initial balance where specified.
- Static maximum loss: 6% on Phoenix Classic, Ignite Classic and Ignite Turbo; 10% on Phoenix Legacy; 7% on Surge. The floor is fixed from the initial balance.
- Nonstop Dynamic Risk Shield™: 3% on Supernova and Hypernova; 2% on Ultranova. It trails continuously and never locks.
Percentages and behavior are shown per phase in the challenge catalogue.
90%
Standard profit split: 90%. A trader can select 80% or 100% at checkout; changing the split also changes the Challenge price. The selected split remains linked to that account, and older accounts retain their original conditions.
Equity based
Resets daily at 00:00 UTC and is calculated under the rules of each program. Current limits:
- Ash Classic/Turbo and Thunderbolt Classic/Turbo: 3%
- Phoenix Classic, Ignite Classic/Turbo and Surge: 4%
- Phoenix Legacy: 5%
- Vanguard and Oracle: 4%
- Supernova and Hypernova: 2%
- Ember and Ultranova: no daily drawdown
Unlimited
Classic, Legacy and non-Turbo Limited Drop challenges have no time limit. Ash Turbo, Thunderbolt Turbo and Ignite Turbo have 30 calendar days and a maximum of 7 trading days. Timed Instant Funding sessions last 24 hours on Supernova, 4 hours on Hypernova and 1 hour on Ultranova.
- 1-Step: 0 days
- 2-Step Phase 1 and 2: 4 days
No minimum trading days to pass the challenge in any Classic, Turbo or Limited Drop (Ignite/Surge) program. Turbo challenges require only 1 trading day with real activity. Minimums apply only at the payout stage — see 'minimumProfitableDays'.
Resets are offered as an alternative to full suspension after a rule violation. The account continues trading, but every future payout on that account is permanently capped at 50% of the approved amount.
Payout eligibility requirements (a valid day has at least 0.5% realized profit):
- Vanguard: 6 valid days
- Oracle, Ember, Phoenix Legacy, Ignite Classic, Surge, Ash Turbo, Thunderbolt Turbo and Ignite Turbo: 5 valid days
- Ash Classic, Thunderbolt Classic and Phoenix Classic: no valid-day minimum

The counter resets after each successful payout.
