If you don’t complete a challenge, you can restart it at any time with a 12% discount. You’ll also get a single-use coupon that gives you 10% off any program.

Reset: buy a Reset to continue from the phase where you breached instead of starting over — it issues a new account at that phase (Funded reset gives a new Funded account, no re-evaluation). Available any time, or within 14 days of a breach. Each phase can be reset once. Price is a % of the original Challenge: Phase 1 −7%; Phase 2 +45–50%; Phase 3 +80%; Funded +50–175% (Instant: −7%).

• Instant Daily: base split in the catalogue; 70% on payouts 3 and 4, 80% from payout 5.

Trades opened or closed (manually or by stop loss, take profit or pending orders) within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news release (red folder on ForexFactory.com or Myfxbook.com) have a maximum profit per trade: 3% of the initial balance on accounts purchased from 10 November 2026, and 1% on accounts purchased earlier. Funded accounts and resets follow the original challenge purchase date. Applies to challenge and funded accounts; only profit above the cap is removed and it is not a breach.

News trading is allowed except for the $100,000 and $200,000 accounts, in which case it is not allowed to open traders within 2 minutes before or after high-impact news releases
