Technical information
Prime and Direct sim funded, by size: 25K, USD 250; 50K, USD 500; 100K, USD 1,000; 150K, USD 1,500. Rise requires at least USD 500 of the trader share. Live: USD 500 including the firm share.
Prime and Direct sim funded payout caps, ordered first / second / third / fourth and subsequent:
- 25K: USD 1,000 / 1,250 / 1,500 / 2,000.
- 50K: USD 1,500 / 2,000 / 2,500 / 3,000.

- 150K: USD 2,500 / 3,000 / 4,000 / 5,000.
Prime and Direct sim funded: every seven calendar days from the first trade of the cycle; after a payout the next trade starts a new cycle. Live: daily requests.
2.5% per payout. Minimum fee: USD 25 for bank wire or Rise; USD 5 for crypto.
KYC, agreement and interview before the first payout; account review for every request and further checks when required. After a payout the loss floor becomes the starting balance: retain enough profit to avoid touching it. Consistency resets even after a partial payout.
Processing within one hour of an eligible request, following a prior review of up to 24 business hours. Business days only; KYC or incomplete details may cause delays.
By risk-team invitation; the transition cannot be requested or declined. Eligibility reference: at least ten payouts totaling USD 50,000, with possible earlier invitations. One live account per trader. At most 15% of the sim funded account size transfers; excess profit does not carry over. Paid professional data required.
Commissions
USD per contract per side: ES/NQ 2.88; MES/MNQ 0.95; GC 3.10; MGC 1.20; CL 3.00; MCL 1.10. Crypto and other instruments vary by platform.
Published per-contract fee: ES/NQ USD 4.36; MES/MNQ USD 1.42; GC USD 4.80; MGC USD 1.72; CL USD 4.60; MCL USD 1.72. The WealthCharts table does not specify whether fees are per side.
Plans and conditions
Combined sim funded and Direct: up to USD 500,000 or five accounts, whichever comes first. Combined Forex and Futures: USD 800,000. One live account may additionally be held.
At most five sim funded or Direct accounts, subject to total allocation; one additional live account. Unlimited evaluation purchases.
1-Step Prime is a subscription that renews automatically every 30 days until passing or cancellation. It cannot be paused. Cancellation loses progress and returning requires a new purchase.
Sim funded: no monthly membership fee; Level 1 data included. Live: professional data, USD 130 per exchange per month or USD 520 for all four, without proration.
After a payout the balance must stay above the starting balance, which becomes the loss floor. Withdrawing all profit would leave no room above that limit.
Each product split is listed in its challenge. The live program has its own split and starting-balance release requirements.
Evaluation and sim funded: trails the highest end-of-day balance, not intraday unrealized peaks. It only rises and locks at the starting balance after earning the drawdown distance. A payout fixes the floor at the starting balance even if it had not locked yet. Touching it with balance or equity closes the account.
Prime evaluation and sim funded: no daily cap. Direct: based on the previous closing balance; reaching it closes positions and pauses trading until the next day, without terminating the account for that isolated event. Maximum-loss breaches still terminate the account.
None on any plan.
Unlimited on all plans.
Prime sim funded: five non-consecutive profitable days in every payout cycle, not only the first. Minimum daily profit: 25K, USD 100; 50K, USD 150; 100K, USD 200; 150K, USD 250. Direct has no profitable-day minimum.
1-Step Prime Challenge: single-phase evaluation with a profit target and consistency requirement.
Direct Account: funded access without any evaluation phase.
Size-based limits are listed on each challenge. Standard mini:micro ratio is 1:10; Micro Silver has double weighting, and MBT/MET count as minis. No progressive sim funded contract-scaling plan is documented. Live has separate limits.
Live program: whenever accumulated profit reaches 100% of the reference balance, the account grows by 10%. Payouts count toward profit and eligibility is reviewed on payout requests. The Forex scaling ladder does not automatically apply to Futures sim funded.
Failed challenges can be repurchased at any time. Funded accounts cannot be reset.
Indices and micros (ES, NQ, YM, RTY); currencies (6E, 6B, 6J and others); metals (GC, SI, HG); energy (CL, NG and micros); agriculture (ZC, ZW, ZS and livestock); crypto (MBT, MET); bonds and rates (ZT, ZF, ZN, ZB, UB, TN). Availability and fees depend on platform.
Rules
Stop losses required in sim funded and Direct; without one, a trade is treated as unlimited risk. The per-idea risk rule does not apply during evaluation. No fixed three-minute stop-placement deadline is documented here.
Close daily before 15:30 CT; the trader must be flat by 15:28 CT without relying on risk-team flattening. Observe earlier agricultural and holiday closes. Sunday-evening to Monday trading belongs to one session and is permitted.
Only own Hola Prime challenge or sim funded accounts within the same environment. The lead must have the lowest contract limit. Third-party copiers are used at the trader responsibility; external or other-person accounts cannot be copied.
Bots and partial or full automation; tick scalping and HFT; arbitrage, latency, errors and low-liquidity exploitation; grid, overexposure, account rolling and unsupported bets; copying external or other-person accounts; cross-account hedging; shared accounts or devices; unjustified strategy or contract-size changes to manipulate evaluations or payouts. Trading within 2% of a CME price limit is prohibited. Violations may forfeit profits and terminate accounts.
1-Step Prime Challenge: 40%. Prime funded account: 35%. Direct Account: 20%.
Evaluation and sim funded: complete at least one round-trip trade within each seven-day period. Live: suspension after 30 calendar days; opening or closing a trade counts as activity.
There is no universal minimum holding time. A systematic pattern of sub-three-minute trades without a plan, tick scalping, HFT or latency exploitation is prohibited.
Sim funded and Direct: 2% of the initial balance per idea on Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts; legacy DX Futures accounts use 1%. Not applicable during evaluation. Overlapping positions and same-asset, same-direction re-entries within ten minutes are combined.
Legitimate connections and VPNs outside restricted countries are permitted. Own devices only; travel may require verification. Device or identity sharing may close all accounts.
Banned countries
The company and account stages
Hola Prime Futures is Hola Prime's futures offering, based in Hong Kong, operating since 2024 and led by Somesh Kapuria. It shares the business group behind the Forex programme and Hola Prime Markets, while maintaining separate contract, session, evaluation and payout rules.
Evaluations and Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) accounts use virtual funds and market data. Access is purchased as a service, with rewards depending on performance and compliance. A separate live programme exists by invitation.
The firm publishes payout activity and describes risk, support, liquidity and dual-verification controls. These do not turn an evaluation into a deposit or remove the checks required before payment.
Monthly evaluation and Direct access
The subscription commitment
The 1-Step Prime Challenge requires both its target and evaluation consistency. Reaching the target is insufficient if one day accounts for too much profit. There is no minimum evaluation trading-day requirement, but inactivity rules remain.
The fee is a subscription renewing every thirty days, rather than a one-time purchase. Each evaluation has its own billing date. Passing before renewal allows progression to verification without waiting for the period to end. Subscriptions cannot be paused; cancellation loses progress and returning requires a new purchase.
After passing, the firm reviews trading, verifies identity and requires the agreement. The resulting sim funded account does not retain the evaluation's monthly membership charge and includes Level 1 data.
What Direct changes
Direct provides sim funded access without an evaluation target or evaluation trading-day requirement. It adds a soft daily loss control and uses its own payout consistency.
KYC and the agreement are required before trading is enabled. Direct does not mean immediate entry into live trading. The two purchase routes lead to simulated accounts with different conditions and a possible subsequent live transition.
The challenge table records prices, sizes, targets and contract limits. Position capacity is not the amount available to lose: different instruments consume drawdown at very different rates.
Drawdown and risk per idea
End-of-day trailing
Maximum loss follows the highest end-of-day closing balance, rather than each trade's peak floating profit. Its distance is calculated from the starting balance, and the floor only moves upward. Later losses do not lower it.
Once profits cover the original drawdown distance, the floor locks at the starting balance. Although trailing adjustments use the daily close, compliance is monitored intraday against balance and equity. Floating losses can therefore end an account before the close.
A withdrawal has an additional effect: the floor becomes the starting balance even if it had not previously locked. Enough profit must remain above it. Visible profit is not necessarily all safely withdrawable.
The published distances for 25K and 50K apply to purchases from 19 January 2026; historical accounts can retain earlier conditions. The purchased account's agreement remains relevant.
A soft breach is still a limit
Prime uses its maximum loss floor without an additional daily cap. Direct has a daily control based on the previous close. Reaching it closes positions and pauses trading until the next day, without that isolated breach permanently ending the account.
A pause does not excuse a simultaneous maximum loss or prohibited-practice breach, which can still lead to termination.
Sim funded and Direct idea risk is measured to the SL. Current platforms share the standard allowance, with a lower percentage for legacy DX Futures accounts. The control does not apply during evaluation.
Overlapping same-instrument, same-direction positions count as one idea, as do re-entries within ten minutes and their chains. Splitting tickets does not multiply the allowance. No SL means unlimited risk. The three-minute tick-scalping definition should not be confused with an SL placement grace period.
Trading, contracts and restrictions
Sessions matter more than the calendar date
Accounts are intended for intraday trading. Positions must close before the daily cutoff, including the advance margin required by the firm. Traders should not rely on the risk team flattening everything in time.
A Sunday evening position closed on Monday can belong to the same permitted session. This does not allow holding across the daily maintenance break or through a weekend.
Some agricultural contracts close earlier than indices. On shortened holiday sessions, sim funded requires additional advance closure. Instrument-specific schedules and holiday communications take precedence over assuming one universal time.
Inactivity requires a completed round trip during the permitted period. Merely opening a position without closing it that day does not count as qualifying activity for this control.
Equivalences and strategies
Contract limits apply to total open positions. Usually ten micros count as one mini, but Micro Silver has double micro weight, while Micro Bitcoin and Micro Ether count as minis for this purpose. A micro name does not guarantee one-tenth contract consumption.
Current rules permit news trading on Prime and Direct. Volatility and slippage still affect risk, and permission does not authorize gap exploitation, arbitrage or simulator abuse.
There is no universal minimum holding time. Systematic entries and exits under three minutes without a plan, tick scalping, HFT and latency exploitation are prohibited. One isolated quick exit is different from that pattern.
Bots and partial or full automation, grid trading, account rolling, abusive exposure, unsupported bets, cross-account hedging and device or identity sharing are prohibited. Abrupt contract or strategy changes to manipulate passing or payouts are also restricted. Remaining within drawdown does not validate a prohibited practice.
Futures have another specific restriction: do not open trades within 2% of CME price limits. Ignoring circuit-breaker rules can end an account without reaching its drawdown floor.
Copy trading and access
Copying is limited to the trader's own Hola Prime accounts in the permitted environment. The lead account must have the lowest contract allowance in the group. Third-party copiers can be used, but the firm does not guarantee correct order or limit replication. External accounts and accounts owned by relatives, friends or providers cannot be copied.
Devices must belong to the trader. VPNs and legitimate connections must not route through restricted countries. Travel may prompt requests for evidence. Shared equipment, third-party trading or duplicate identities can affect all associated accounts.
Payouts and eligibility
Each payout starts a fresh qualifying cycle
Sim funded payouts use a weekly cycle measured from its first relevant trade. Prime needs five new winning days in every cycle, not just before the first payout. Each size has its own daily profit threshold, recorded in the dedicated field. Direct does not use this winning-day requirement but has its own consistency test.
Consistency divides the best day by total period profit. If that day carries too much weight, traders must keep building distributed profit before requesting payment. Direct's lower threshold is stricter than Prime sim funded's threshold.
A partial payout also resets consistency. Retained profit can remain in the account, but a fresh trade starts a new cycle whose calculation cannot simply reuse the previous period's gains.
Minimums, caps and review
Withdrawal minimums depend on size. Separate caps apply to the first, second, third and subsequent payouts on both Prime sim funded and Direct. The full ladder appears in the payout fields. Large profits do not necessarily make the full amount available in the first request.
Payment methods add their own minimums and charges. Minimum processing fees can make a small payout's effective cost higher than the headline percentage. Where Rise does not support the country, the specified crypto alternative is used.
A KYC interview is required before the first payout. Every request undergoes compliance review, potentially taking up to 24 business hours, before the eligible request's one-hour processing window. Processing is on business days, and further checks can be requested.
Payments must belong to the account holder. AML policy prohibits third-party recipients and can require evidence when changing methods. A hard breach terminates the account and forfeits pending profits even with a positive balance. Sim funded accounts cannot be reset after breaching maximum loss.
Cancellation refunds are separate from payouts. They require a request within fourteen days without trading and deduct the specified Futures processing charge. Forex's fourth-payout fee refund should not be applied to these challenges.
Live transition and growth
Invitation and transferred balance
The risk team alone decides live transitions. Its selection reference includes ten payouts totaling USD 50,000 and a sound history, although invitations can come earlier. Traders cannot request live access or choose to remain sim funded once transition is required.
One live account is allowed per user alongside permitted simulated accounts. Its starting balance comes from transferred profit, capped at 15% of the sim funded size. Excess profit does not transfer. The simulated account's advertised size is therefore different from the cash starting balance in live.
Data costs and balance unlocking
Live removes simulated daily and maximum loss limits but retains its own contract and inactivity conditions. Mini/micro allowances are 2/20 on 25K, 4/40 on 50K, 8/80 on 100K and 10/100 on 150K. The live split is 90%. Professional data is paid per exchange per month, without prorating. Activating near month-end does not reduce that bill. Sim funded's free data should not be assumed to continue into live.
Daily payout requests are available with a separate minimum. Withdrawing the starting balance requires additional milestones: ten nonconsecutive winning days of at least USD 200 unlock up to half, and thirty days unlock the full amount. This differs from ordinary profit withdrawals and Prime sim funded's five-day cycle requirement.
Live growth is reviewed at payout. Accumulated profit equal to the reference balance allows a 10% increase, counting prior withdrawals. This is separate from Forex scaling. If the live account is liquidated, the risk team reviews possible re-entry, without guaranteeing automatic recovery.
Platforms, geography and trader suitability
Current options are Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts. Fees differ by contract and platform. The first two specify per-side commissions, while the WealthCharts table does not clarify the same charging basis. Figures should only be compared after checking what they cover.
Platform choice is fixed at purchase. A refund for choosing incorrectly requires no trading and incurs the stated charge. Tradovate and NinjaTrader have additional territorial restrictions beyond Hola Prime's general exclusions. Firm eligibility does not guarantee access to every platform.
The programme suits futures traders who can close each session, repeat a consistent method and distribute profits across days. Prime offers evaluation access with recurring fees until passing. Direct skips that stage while retaining stricter consistency and a daily control. Consider the buffer remaining after withdrawals, initial payout caps and potential live data costs alongside the entry price.
