Trading Rules

Every Rule, in One Place

Two ideas run through all of it. The challenge runs a static loss floor, a fixed dollar number set at the start that never trails. Instant runs an end-of-day trailing floor instead, the price of skipping the evaluation. Either way every limit is a published number, so nothing about passing or getting paid is a judgment call. Here is the whole rulebook.

Challenge Rules

Three plans on one ladder from $5K to $200K. Pick the buffer you want.

The funded account carries the same loss rules, with no profit target and no consistency rule. The fee is a one-time charge for the evaluation, never a deposit. On Classic, pass and the full fee comes back on top of your first funded payout. Sprint and Sprint Turbo fees are non-refundable once you start trading, priced cheaper instead.

Instant Rules

Funded the moment you pay, no evaluation. Smaller sizes, tighter rules, in exchange for skipping the wait.

• Sizes and fees: $2.5K for $59, $5K for $129, $10K for $229. Above $10K, take the challenge.
• Drawdown: 6% end-of-day trailing. The floor trails your end-of-day balance, locking gains. It moves only at the daily close, never intraday, and never silently tightens. (The challenge runs pure static instead: skip the evaluation and you trail end-of-day; pass it and your floor never moves.)
• Daily loss limit: 3% of starting balance.
• Max risk per trade: 2% of starting balance.
• First-payout gate: +8% profit and at least 3 trading days. Then on-demand.
• Consistency: no single day over 25% of net profit, loosening to 30% after your first payout.
• Fixed size, no scaling. An Instant account stays at its purchase size and pays out on demand. It does not scale or graduate. Want growth toward the real-capital layer? Take a Classic or Sprint challenge, which scales as you book profit.

What Applies to Every Account

• No discretionary denial. Every limit and gate is a published number, applied the same to everyone. Drawdown differs by product: static on the challenge, end-of-day trailing on Instant. See trailing vs static drawdown.
• No hedging. Holding opposing positions in the same or closely correlated instruments, across your accounts, or in coordination with others, is prohibited.
• Prohibited strategies: Martingale, grid, sub-60-second high-frequency trading, and copying anyone else's trades. Trading an account that is not yours, or letting someone else trade yours, ends every account you hold.
• Multiple accounts: Run as many evaluations as you want. Total funded allocation is capped at $200K per trader; growth beyond that comes through scaling. Running your own strategy across your own accounts, including copying your own trades between them, is allowed. Opposing positions across accounts are not.
• Allowed on every plan: news trading, weekend holding, and EAs, at no surcharge.
• The account is simulated. You trade live prices against these published rules, and your split pays on that performance.

Rules FAQ

Is the drawdown trailing or static? The challenge is static (the floor never trails). Instant runs end-of-day trailing, which updates only at the daily close, never intraday. Both are published, never discretionary.

Is there a consistency rule? Not on the challenge. Instant has one published consistency rule, checked only at payout.

Can I trade news and hold over the weekend? Yes, on every plan, with no surcharge.

Is hedging allowed? No. Opposing positions in the same or correlated instruments are prohibited within and across accounts.

What happens if I break a rule? The account closes at the breach. It is mechanical, measured by the platform against the published definition.
