Everything you need to know about our trading rules, evaluation process, and company policies. Written in plain English with detailed examples and clear explanations.
Our rules are designed to identify skilled, disciplined traders while protecting capital. Every rule is applied consistently and never changes mid-evaluation. See how it works in our step-by-step guide.
Phase-specific targets to demonstrate consistent profitability
Phase 1: Need to reach $110,000 (10% profit = $10,000 gain)
Phase 2: Need to reach $105,000 (5% profit = $5,000 gain)
Critical risk management rules - violation results in immediate failure
Daily Loss Limit: $5,000 (5% of $100,000)
Account starts day at: $103,000 (you have $3,000 profit)
Maximum loss allowed today: Still $5,000 (based on original $100K)
Account cannot go below: $98,000 today
Additional safeguards to promote disciplined trading
Purpose: Ensures consistent trading activity and prevents lucky single-day gains
What Counts: Any day you open or close a position counts as a trading day
Calendar Days: Must be different calendar dates (not just different sessions)
No Minimum Trades: Just one trade per day is sufficient
Default Rule (Two-Stage Breach System)
Each trade may risk up to 1% of the current account balance. If a trade exceeds this limit, the One-Time Risk Allowance is activated - this counts as your first and only soft breach. The account remains active, but the breach is logged and monitored.
How It's Calculated: (Entry Price − Stop Loss) × Position Size = Trade Risk
Based on Account Balance: 1% of the current account balance, not the starting balance.
Advanced Option: Experienced traders can upgrade to a 2% per-trade limit through the "Advanced Risk Management" add-on. This increases your per-trade risk limit from 1% to 2%. In this mode, there is no soft breach - exceeding 2% instantly triggers a hard breach.
Maximum Risk Per Trade: $1,000 (1% of $100,000)
EUR/USD Trade: Entry 1.1000, Stop Loss 1.0950
Risk Per Pip: 50 pips × lot size = risk amount
Maximum Lot Size: Position size that risks exactly $1,000
Time-based and market condition restrictions
Reason: Weekend gaps can cause unexpected losses that violate daily loss limits
Friday Deadline: 4:55 PM EST (5 minutes before official close)
Automatic Closure: System will close positions if you forget
Weekend Holding Add-on: Available for swing traders who need this flexibility
