Plans and conditions
Standard combined allocation across sim funded and Direct accounts: USD 400,000 per trader or strategy. USD 90,000 cap for Nigeria, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Israel, Thailand, Botswana, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Jamaica and Mozambique. Combined Forex and Futures: USD 800,000. Prime Circle and scaling have separate conditions.
Evaluations: unlimited purchases. Sim funded and Direct: up to four 50K accounts, two 100K accounts or one 200K account, within the total allocation limit. 100K and 200K accounts cannot be active together. Direct: at most two active accounts.
The table shows the base biweekly 80% option. Pro and Prime also offer on-demand 80% and monthly 95% with an advertised 20% surcharge; Direct offers a separately priced biweekly 90% variant. The cycle is selected at purchase and cannot be changed later.
Pro and Prime: static floor based on the initial balance, also monitored against floating equity. Direct: trails the highest end-of-day balance, only moves upward and locks at the starting balance after the full drawdown distance is earned. A payout does not lower that floor.
Calculated from the previous day closing balance and includes realized and floating results. Resets at 17:00 EST as stated by Hola Prime. Breaching it is a hard breach.
Pro: two days per phase. Prime 1-Step: two days. Prime 2-Step: three days per phase. Direct: no minimum. A day counts when at least one trade is opened.
No evaluation deadline, subject to the inactivity rule.
Pro and Prime: three profitable days per biweekly cycle or seven per monthly cycle. Each day requires at least 0.5% net of the initial balance, measured using the lower of closing balance and equity minus the previous closing balance. On-demand uses consistency and minimum-profit requirements. Direct has no profitable-day minimum.
A hard breach forfeits profits and pending payouts. Forex daily-loss-only exception: profits may still be paid if every trade had a stop loss and no trade exceeded 1% of the initial balance in profit or loss.
Prime Circle: five lifetime Forex payouts, with no consecutive-payout or minimum-amount requirement. Only master payouts count when copying. Automatic eligibility subject to compliance, Platinum support, one pre-trading platform switch and allocation growth: USD 25,000 per three unique payouts of at least 1.5%, up to USD 1 million. The geographic USD 90,000 cap remains.
1-Step Prime Challenge.
Available as 2-Step Pro Challenge and 2-Step Prime Challenge.
Direct Account provides funded access without an evaluation phase.
Pro sim funded: maximum open exposure of 10 lots on 25K, 20 on 50K, 40 on 100K and 80 on 200K; no cap on 5K and 10K. From the second scaling, each step adds 10% of the original cap. Prime and Direct: no explicit lot cap, subject to idea risk. First violation: closure, deduction and requested reactivation; second: 30% split and termination.
Four-month cycles from the first trade: at least 10% net profit, two profitable months, two payouts and a positive balance. Manual request required. Increases based on the original balance: 25% first, 40% second and 50% from the third, up to USD 4 million per user. Loss limits are recalculated on the scaled balance. Unavailable during PCP.
After a hard breach a new evaluation or account can be purchased.
Only same-model Pro or Prime sim funded accounts, with no open trades or active cycle and a combined balance matching an available size. Unavailable for evaluations, Direct or PCP. Allocation limits and promotional-account exclusions apply.
Swap-free: +10% of the base fee before discounts. EA Trading: +10%, MT5 only and unavailable on Direct. cTrader: USD 20 fixed surcharge where available. Alternative payout cycles have different configurator prices; the table shows the base option.
Rules
Prime and all evaluations: allowed. Pro sim funded and Direct: no opening or closing affected instruments from five minutes before to five minutes after high-impact news, including SL, TP and pending orders. Previously opened positions may be held. Pro: offending profit removed; Direct: account closure. PCP also restricts Prime news trading.
MT5 only with the purchased EA Trading add-on; unavailable on Direct, cTrader, MatchTrader and TradeLocker. Strategy declaration and distinct settings required; identical strategies may be grouped for allocation. Analytical tools may not automatically execute or modify orders.
Required on sim funded and Direct accounts. There is no fixed three-minute deadline; it must be placed before closing. A trade without a stop loss is treated as unlimited risk and can cause account closure.
Prime and Pro evaluations: allowed. Pro sim funded: close before 15:45 EST Friday; automatic closure and suspension until Monday. Direct: same deadline, but a hard breach and termination.
Only own Hola Prime accounts. Challenge to challenge: unlimited. Sim funded: one master and one copier. Challenge to sim funded: only one receiving funded account; sim funded to challenges: unlimited. Copying from other prop firms is prohibited. Applies to accounts purchased on or after 15 September 2026.
Hedging within a single account is allowed. Hedging across multiple accounts (offsetting buy/sell positions on the same instrument) is prohibited.
HFT and tick scalping; arbitrage or exploitation of errors and liquidity; grid, martingale and DCA; unsupported one-sided bets, overexposure and account rolling; third-party accounts, devices, management or signals; cross-account hedging; material changes in strategy, assets or risk after passing; hyperactivity and unauthorized automation. MT5: at most 100 simultaneous orders and 1,000 positions or modifications daily. Sanctions may include profit adjustments, restrictions, PCP or termination.
No consistency target to pass Pro or Prime. On-demand sim funded: best day at most 40% of cycle profit and total profit of at least 2% of the initial balance. Direct: best day at most 20%. A partial payout resets the calculation; retained profit does not replace new-cycle profit. PCP may impose additional conditions on high-risk traders.
Hard breach after 30 consecutive calendar days without opening a trade, in evaluation and sim funded. Closing trades, changing SL/TP or placing pending orders does not count as activity.
Multiple entries are combined as one idea for risk limits. DCA, averaging down and systematically increasing losing exposure are prohibited.
Sim funded and Direct: at most 2% of the initial balance per idea, not per ticket. Risk is combined across overlapping positions and same-asset, same-direction re-entries within ten minutes, including chains. Not applicable during evaluation. PCP: 1% per idea and at most 30% aggregate margin.
IP must match the registered country, including KYC and payments. No geographic circumvention. VPS permitted only for trade-taking EAs with a dedicated static IP; manual VPS trading is prohibited. No MT5 access from US IP addresses.
Banned countries
The company and trading environment
Hola Prime is a Hong Kong based evaluation and simulated trading firm, operating since 2024 and led by Somesh Kapuria. Its group includes the broker Hola Prime Markets. This identifies the business behind the programme, but an evaluation is still a separate service, rather than a brokerage deposit.
Evaluations and Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) accounts use virtual funds and market prices. Traders pay for programme access and may earn real rewards under their agreement. Whether the firm reproduces a strategy in its own trading does not change the trader's contractual payout conditions.
The company maintains risk and support teams, publishes tick price comparisons and provides a payout record. These tools help traders assess execution and activity, but each account's requirements still govern eligibility.
Evaluation models and account selection
Pro versus Prime
The difference goes beyond evaluation targets. Pro combines higher leverage with specific sim funded restrictions covering news, Friday position closure and exposure caps on certain sizes. Those restrictions should not automatically be applied to its evaluation phases.
Prime offers one or two evaluation phases. Both retain news trading and weekend holding. One phase removes an evaluation stage but comes with a different maximum loss distance. The challenge table shows each option's figures, including the daily and maximum loss exception for 200K two-phase accounts.
Direct and payout options
Direct removes the evaluation while remaining simulated. KYC and the agreement must be completed before trading. Consistency, risk per idea and news and weekend restrictions still apply. Paying for direct access does not make a payout immediately available.
The payout cycle is selected at purchase and cannot be changed afterwards. On-demand, biweekly and monthly options have their own conditions and prices; Direct also separates its split variants. The highest advertised split is not necessarily included in the lowest fee.
The table shows the base biweekly 80% option at regular prices without temporary promotions. On-demand retains 80%, monthly offers 95% with an advertised 20% surcharge, and Direct has a separately priced 90% option in the configurator. The 2K size is MT5 only and unavailable in several countries, listed in its availability note. Historical articles alone do not establish that an old size or product can still be purchased.
Drawdown and risk management
Static floors and end-of-day trailing
Pro and Prime use a static maximum loss floor based on the starting balance. Profits do not automatically raise it. Floating equity is monitored, so an open position can breach the floor before it is closed.
Direct uses end-of-day trailing drawdown. A new highest closing balance raises the loss floor, which does not move down after subsequent losses. Once profits cover the original drawdown distance, it locks at the starting balance and stops trailing.
Withdrawals reduce the available balance without lowering an established floor. Enough profit must remain to prevent the withdrawal or next trade from taking the account to its loss limit.
Daily loss is a separate control, calculated from the previous closing balance and including realized and floating results. Hola Prime states a reset at 17:00 EST, rather than the trader's local midnight. An account can reach that limit while still being profitable overall.
One idea can include several trades
Sim funded and Direct risk is measured per idea, rather than per ticket. Overlapping same-instrument, same-direction positions are combined. Closing and re-entering within ten minutes can continue the same idea; a chain of re-entries does not create a fresh allowance for every trade.
Risk is measured to the stop loss. A correctly placed SL distinguishes the trader's planned risk from additional loss caused by slippage. Trading without an SL is treated as unlimited risk. The current policy does not provide a fixed three-minute grace period: the SL must be in place before closing, without permitting excessive risk while the trade remains open.
The idea limit applies to sim funded and Direct, rather than evaluation targets. Rules against gambling, excessive exposure and simulation abuse continue to apply throughout.
Trading rules and restrictions
News, weekends and exposure
Pro sim funded and Direct news restrictions cover opening or closing affected instruments around high-impact announcements. Pending orders, SL and TP executions count. An existing position may be held, but an automatic exit inside the restricted window can still breach the rule.
Pro removes profits from offending trades, with reckless conduct potentially ending the account. Direct can terminate the account for the breach. USD announcements also affect the US indices specified by the firm.
Friday has an early cutoff for Pro sim funded and Direct. Pro closes positions and temporarily disables trading until Monday; Direct treats holding beyond its cutoff as a hard breach. Prime and Pro evaluations allow weekends. Overnight holding is otherwise permitted in Forex, subject to these Friday restrictions.
Pro lot limits apply to aggregate open exposure. A first violation closes positions, removes profits and requires a reactivation request. A second can reduce the remaining split and terminate the account. A resulting drawdown breach is not excused because it followed a profit adjustment.
Automation, copying and strategy
EAs require an eligible MT5 account and the relevant add-on. Platform support alone is insufficient. The firm can request the configuration, logic or code and requires the strategy to be declared. Passing with an EA and materially changing to manual trading, or the reverse, is not allowed.
Analytical risk or sizing tools cannot automatically execute or modify orders without the applicable permission. Free indicators do not override the EA policy.
For accounts purchased from 15 September 2026, sim funded copying is limited to one master and one copier under the same owner. Evaluations have different copying allowances. Copying from another prop firm is prohibited, and substantially identical strategies can be grouped for allocation purposes.
Prohibited practices include HFT, tick scalping, abusive arbitrage, grid trading, martingale, DCA, account rolling, cross-account hedging, third-party management and material strategy changes on reaching sim funded. Staying below a numerical risk limit does not make an otherwise prohibited practice acceptable.
Inactivity and identity
Forex activity requires opening a trade within the permitted period. Closing an old position, modifying SL or TP, or placing pending orders does not satisfy inactivity requirements.
Devices must belong to the trader. VPN use requires an IP in the registered country, including during KYC and payments. A VPS is allowed for trading EAs with a dedicated static IP; manual trading through a VPS is prohibited. Travel can trigger review and requests for evidence. Connections cannot be used to bypass country or platform restrictions.
Payouts, verification and consequences
Eligibility comes before the processing hour
The one-hour promise concerns an eligible request, after prior checks. Every payout is reviewed, potentially taking up to 24 business hours. The first also requires a KYC interview, and further verification may follow. Processing takes place on business days; arrival time also depends on the payment method.
The firm describes ten payout controls, including account monitoring, liquidity planning, dual verification and reconciliation. Its blog attributes a historical 98.35% eligible-request processing rate within one hour to a Deloitte review covering October 2025 to March 2026. That period does not establish that every account was eligible or guarantee a future request's outcome.
The recipient must be the account holder. AML policy prohibits third-party payments and requires payment-method consistency, with documentation potentially needed for changes. Method-specific minimums and charges appear in the payout fields.
What each cycle requires
Biweekly and monthly cycles require profitable days, which differ from evaluation trading days. A qualifying day uses the lower of closing balance and equity against the previous closing balance. Closing a winning trade alone is insufficient if the day's net result misses the requirement.
On-demand adds cycle consistency and a minimum profit requirement. Direct has its own consistency threshold. Exceeding a payout consistency percentage generally means continuing to build distributed profit before requesting payment, rather than automatically losing the account.
A partial payout resets consistency too. Profit left behind does not replace the profit required in the new period. The next cycle depends on fresh trading activity, rather than time elapsed since payment alone.
Pro and Prime refund the paid fee with the fourth successful payout from the same account. Cancellation is separate: it must be requested within fourteen days without trading. Failed KYC or AML does not automatically entitle the trader to a refund.
A hard breach forfeits profits and pending payouts. Forex has a narrow exception for an isolated daily loss breach, requiring SL on every trade and specific per-trade result limits. It does not extend to prohibited strategies or every other reason for account closure.
Growth, Prime Circle and PCP
Scaling and additional allocation
Alpha Prime scaling requires complete review periods, profitability, payouts and a manual request. Increases use the original balance, rather than automatically compounding. Scaling changes the loss-limit bases, and Pro exposure allowances can also grow from the second scaling step.
Prime Circle is separate, based on five lifetime payouts without a consecutive-payout requirement. Current terms include 24/7 Platinum support with a priority review queue, one platform switch before any trading with up to five business days processing, and allocation increases through qualifying unique payouts. Additional verification can extend priority reviews too. Copied payouts do not multiply eligibility. Benefits cannot be transferred and may be lost for noncompliance. Historical blog discounts and resets are not included in the current description.
Merging is limited to compatible sim funded accounts without open trades or active cycles. The combined size must be supported, with promotions and other exclusions potentially preventing a merge. Multiple purchases do not override allocation limits per identity or strategy.
Prime Consistency Program
PCP can be imposed for elevated risk patterns, including concentrated profits, account rolling or excessive margin. It is separate from a payout's mathematical consistency calculation.
Selection pauses active accounts until the trader chooses an option. Acceptance includes all active sim funded accounts, with evaluations joining after passing. Entry removes profits and rebalances the account. Stricter risk and margin limits apply, news is restricted even on Prime, and merging and scaling are unavailable. A first parameter violation can cause a warning, profit removal and rebalancing while retaining trader losses and restarting the cycle. From the second, all programme accounts and cycles move to a 50% split. Exceeding the idea risk limit is a hard breach.
Exit requires USD 20,000 aggregate profit and five payout cycles after entry, plus risk-team approval. A discretionary review is available after ninety compliant days. Traders can alternatively decline under a reduced split without new purchases, or leave using the affected-account refund option. Returning later may require PCP participation.
Platforms, availability and trader suitability
Platform eligibility depends on residence and model. MatchTrader and TradeLocker are limited to the US and UK; MT5 and cTrader are unavailable to US residents. Check the cTrader surcharge, swap-free option and EA permission before paying. Forex and gold commissions are per lot per side, so opening and closing incur separate charges.
The restricted-country list comes from the eligibility FAQ. Additional country allocation caps and size exclusions do not necessarily prohibit all firm access.
Prime suits strategies that need to hold positions. Pro requires sim funded trading to accommodate news, exposure and Friday restrictions. Direct removes evaluation but retains distinct risk and payout conditions. Compare the chosen cycle's cost, post-withdrawal buffer and strategy continuity alongside the advertised split.
