• Instantly double your account when you reach 10% profit (up to $1,280,000).
• You keep all profit except 5% of starting balance used for scaling.

IF Micro Lite

• +25% to starting balance every 90 days with 10% profit, up to twice the original account size.

No published scaling plan. Increasing capital requires additional accounts within the maximum allocation.

IF Evolve

• End-of-Day trailing drawdown. It updates at 17:00 EST from the highest recorded end-of-day balance, only moves upward, and locks permanently at the starting balance.

Instant Funding Pro, Instant Funding Lite & Instant Funding Clarity

• Smart Drawdown. Starts at -10% and shifts to -5% once you gain 5%. After that, the drawdown stays fixed at -5% of your starting balance, no matter how much you profit.

IF Micro Clarity & One-Phase Clarity

• 6% trailing drawdown of the starting balance. Trails off closed trades only and never decreases.

Rest of accounts

• Static

IF Micro Lite

• Smart Drawdown locks permanently at -3% of starting balance after a 3% gain in closed-trade balance.

Static against each phase's starting balance, including funded accounts. It does not trail profits or move with payouts. Balance and floor reset at the start of the second phase. Equity reaching or falling below the floor, including floating losses, closes the account.

Recalculated at 00:30 UTC from the higher of balance or equity at that moment. Floating profit can raise the reference; the resulting floor is monitored against real-time equity. Reaching or falling below it breaches the account.

$1,000,000 combined starting balance across all programs, including IF Micro Lite. Scaled balances do not count toward this cap.

IF Evolve

• Up to 5 active Evolve accounts at the same time

One registered profile and verified identity. Multiple challenges and funded accounts may sit under that profile; each is assessed separately and results cannot offset one another.

• IF1: 24 hours
• IF Micro Clarity & One-Phase Clarity: Unlimited
• Rest of accounts (including Instant Funding Lite): Unlimited

No completion deadline; the inactivity rule still applies.

Instant Funding Pro, Instant Funding Lite, Instant Funding Micro, IF1, IF Micro Clarity, One-Phase Clarity: No minimum

• One Phase, One Phase Micro, Two Phase, Two-Phase Micro: 3 days

• IF Micro Lite: No minimum

Five qualifying days, not necessarily consecutive, per evaluation phase. The count resets on funding and must be met again before the first payout, but not subsequent payouts.

• You earn 1 point for every $1 spent and you can use points to obtain promotional codes with discounts up to 50%.
• You earn 10% of the final value (after discounts) in points for every purchase.

IF Evolve

• 5 profitable days of at least 0.25% to pass the Challenge
• Another 5 qualifying days are required for each funded payout

IF Micro Clarity

• 5 profitable trading days per payout cycle, each generating at least 0.5% profit. The count resets after every successful payout.

A qualifying day requires net realised profit of at least 0.8% of the starting balance. Days run from 00:30 to 00:30 UTC. Holding a position open does not add days.

Self-built or publicly available commercial EAs, bots and AI are allowed in evaluation and funded accounts. REST and WebSocket API included without fee or approval; no FIX or L2/L3 depth through the API. MT4/MT5 EAs need a bridge or adaptation. Private, exclusive or bespoke signals are prohibited.

VPNs, VPSs and IP changes are allowed. Only the verified owner may trade; access sharing remains prohibited.

Only within the same account. Cross-account, cross-platform and cross-firm hedging is prohibited, including via copiers. First offence involving one trade: trades closed and a one-time warning per user; multiple trades or repetition: permanent closure.

Optional. A triggered Stop Loss exits at market and may slip. Stop Limit orders are disabled.

Scalping is permitted, but not HFT. HFT includes trades held under 60 seconds or a high number of trades per hour.

Violations

• 1-2: Warning + profit deduction
• 3: Account breach

Ordinary scalping is allowed; tick scalping, HFT and pricing or latency exploitation are prohibited.

One-Phase, Two-Phase, IF Micro

Martingale is fully permitted. You can add to losing positions and increase lot sizes without restriction.

Instant Funding Pro

Adding to losing positions is allowed, but repeatedly doubling lot sizes after losses is not permitted.

Maximum Lot Rule: Full list here

Maximum risk per trade idea , funded accounts

• General limit: 50% of the account's starting daily drawdown.
• Instant Funding Pro: 3% of the starting balance.
• Instant Funding Lite and One-Phase Crypto: 2%.
• IF Micro, IF Micro Crypto and IF1: 1%.
• Two-Phase Micro: 2% on accounts up to $50,000 and 1.5% on accounts of $100,000 or more.

Clarity accounts (IF Micro Clarity, One-Phase Clarity)

• No maximum-risk-per-position rule. Instead, a circuit breaker closes all positions if unrealised losses exceed 1.5% (IF Micro Clarity) or 2% (One-Phase Clarity) of the starting balance. The first breach reduces the profit split to 50%; the second closes the account.

IF Micro Lite

• Floating losses exceeding 1% of starting balance close all positions and trigger a strike. Account Drawdown and news-window violations share one strike pool: first strike reduces profit split to 50%; second closes the account.

No general numeric per-trade cap. Leverage, equity limits and the ban on abusive risk still apply. Single stocks have per-company and total exposure limits published on the platform, with possible short restrictions.

Only between accounts owned by the same trader. Public signal services and commercial EAs are allowed without subscriber coordination. Copying other people's accounts, third-party management and private, exclusive or bespoke signals are prohibited.

Warning system (funded accounts: One-Phase, Two-Phase, Instant Funding Pro, Instant Funding Lite)

• Up to 2 warnings with profit deductions for trades made inside the restriction window.
• 3rd violation = account breach.
• Profit deductions don't affect daily drawdown, but overall drawdown adjustments still apply.

IF Micro Lite

• Trading on affected instruments is prohibited within 4 minutes before and after major news. Violations count toward the shared strike pool described under maximum risk.

Macro news trading is allowed. For single stocks, close from 24 hours before to 24 hours after earnings and ex-dividend events. Close before other corporate actions announced at least one day in advance; reopen when normal trading resumes.

60 days

Deactivated after 30 calendar days without valid activity, counted from assignment or the latest trade close. A trade held at least 60 seconds qualifies; open positions pause the timer and pending orders do not count. One support-requested reactivation is available within six months; afterwards it may be treated as a hard breach.
