forTraders Unveils New Instant Account: Double Leverage & 50% Off

forTraders has officially launched its new Instant Account, an option designed for traders seeking speed, decisiveness, and maximum opportunities without unnecessary delays. This initiative marks a step forward in how you trade, offering immediate access to the markets with enhanced conditions. Key Features of the Instant Account The Instant Account is not just another account type; it's an evolution that streamlines the path to profits and optimizes the potential of every trade. Immediate Access & No Evaluation One of the most notable innovations is the elimination of the evaluation phase. Traders begin directly on a Master Account, working from day one with withdrawable profits, without balance resets or subsequent changes in conditions. Empower Your Trading with Double Leverage Trading power has been significantly boosted across key markets: Forex: Increased from 1:10 to 1:30 leverage Indices: Upgraded from 1:5 to 1:10 Metals: Enhanced from 1:5 to 1:10 This provides greater flexibility and exposure, allowing traders to capitalize on market movements more effectively. Simplified Rules for Agile Trading The Instant Account streamlines the process by removing several common restrictions: No Challenge Phase: Direct access to a Master Account. No Profit Target: No specific profit level is required to continue trading. No Margin Rule: The standard 40% margin usage limit does not apply. No Time Limit: Trade at your own pace. Profits from Day One The ability to work with withdrawable profits from the outset, without intermediate phases, allows for a more direct and rewarding trading experience. Instant Account Key Details The Instant Account comes with a clear set of rules to ensure an efficient and fair trading environment. Enhanced Leverage The increased leverage allows for larger trade sizes, translating to higher potential from the same trading setups. Account sizes range from $3,000 up to $100,000. Essential Drawdown Rules Drawdown limits have been defined to manage risk effectively: Max Drawdown (Trailing): 5% based on the highest balance reached. When requesting a payout, this drawdown will lock in at your initial account balance. Example: If the initial balance is $10,000, rises to $10,500, and $250 is withdrawn, the drawdown will lock at $10,000. Daily Drawdown: 3% calculated as a fixed percentage of your initial account balance, applicable even to open trades. Drawdown Protection To prevent account closures due to drawdown limits, forTraders has implemented a 2% Drawdown Protection. This feature monitors floating (unrealized) PnL in real-time, helping traders manage open losses more effectively. Payout Requirements To qualify for payouts, the following conditions must be met: Minimum Profitable Days: At least 7 profitable trading days, with a minimum profit of 0.5% of the starting balance per day. These do not need to be consecutive. Account Growth: The account must reach a minimum 3% growth from the starting balance to be eligible for any withdrawal. Trading Flexibility Overnight & Weekend Holding: Holding positions overnight and over weekends is permitted. Inactivity: Your account will be marked as inactive if there is no meaningful trading activity for 7 consecutive days. Rules for Consistency and News Trading Consistency Rule: Your best trading day must be below 15% of your total profit. If it exceeds this, you must continue trading until the percentage drops below 15%. This rule applies only to the Instant Account. News Trading: You may hold positions during news events, but you cannot open new trades within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news release. Reward Policy and Allocation The forTraders Instant Account offers an attractive reward scheme and allocation limits. Scalable Profit Share Starts at 70% and increases by 5% with each reward, up to 90%. Bi-weekly rewards (every 14 days). The maximum single requested performance reward in each reward cycle is $15,000. Maximum Allocation Traders can have up to: $100,000 in Instant Accounts. $100,000 in Challenge-based Master Accounts. Exclusive Launch Offer: 50% Off To celebrate this launch, forTraders is offering an exclusive 50% discount on the Instant Account. Simply use code: NEWINSTANT. This introductory offer is available for a limited time only, so act fast. The forTraders Instant Account is available from April 16, 2026, and the new rules will apply from this date. This is an opportunity to experience faster execution, stronger leverage, and smarter trading.
