The Instant Funding program removes the need for a challenge phase. Simply purchase an account and begin trading right away β€” you’re funded instantly.

Account Parameters

  • Profit Cap: 5% per payout cycle

  • Maximum Drawdown: 8% (static, does not trail)

  • Daily Drawdown: 4%

  • Profit Consistency Rule: 25%

  • Max Funding: $200,000


Trading Rules

Stop Losses

  • A stop-loss is mandatory in funded accounts and must be set within 5 minutes of trade entry.

  • Fake stop-losses are prohibited (e.g., placing an SL that, if hit, would cause losses greater than daily/max drawdown).

News Trading

  • News trading is allowed at all times.

Expert Advisors (EAs)

  • ❌ EAs are not allowed on Instant Funding accounts.

Copy Trading

  • Allowed for copying your own trades.

  • Copying other traders’ trades in the same timeframe is not permitted.

Averaging Into Trades

  • Allowed, but trades in the same direction on the same pair (within a short timeframe) are treated as one Trade Idea.

  • Trade Ideas are used when checking Profit Consistency and Lot Consistency.

Tick Scalping

  • Please avoid any attempts at tick scalping, and keep trades open for over 2 minutes.


Consistency Rules

Profit Consistency Rule (from 1st June 2025)

  • No single trading day may equal or exceed 25% of your total profit for that payout period.

  • Example: If you make $1,000 in one day, you must reach $4,000 total profit before you are eligible to request a payout.

  • Payout requests cannot be made until this rule is satisfied.

Lot Size Consistency

  • Checked at the time of payout.

  • Based on your average trade size:

    • Max lot = average + 100%

    • Min lot = average – 75%

  • Example: Avg 1 lot β†’ max 2 lots, min 0.25 lots.

❗ Multiple trades in the same direction on the same pair, opened close together, are treated as one Trade Idea. Lots and profit are combined.


Drawdown & Targets

Maximum Drawdown (Static)

  • Max drawdown = 8% of initial balance.

  • Example: On a $100,000 account, equity may never fall below $92,000.

  • Unlike trailing drawdowns, this does not adjust upwards with profit.

Daily Drawdown

  • Max daily loss = 4% of initial balance, recalculated daily at 5pm EST.

  • Uses the higher of balance or equity at reset.

Example 1 – With Floating Profit

  • $100,000 account with +$2,000 open profit = equity $102,000.

  • Next day, equity cannot drop below $98,000.

Example 2 – With Floating Loss

  • $100,000 account with –$2,000 open loss = equity $98,000.

  • Since balance ($100,000) is higher, drawdown uses balance.

  • Next day, equity cannot fall below $96,000.


Payouts

Profit Splits

  • Payouts increase over time:

    • 1st withdrawal: 50%

    • 2nd withdrawal: 55%

Profit Cap & Max Withdrawal

  • Profit cap = 5% of initial balance per cycle.

  • Max withdrawal = 5% per payout period.

    • Example: On a $200,000 account, max withdrawal = $10,000 each cycle.

Instant Payouts

Rule Breaches & Payout Denials

Soft Breaches (Profit Deductions)

  • If you break a rule (e.g., Lot Consistency, Stop Loss rule, or other restrictions), the profit from that trade is deducted from your total profit.

  • If deductions are less than your profit, the reduced payout is still processed.

  • If deductions are greater than your profit (e.g., $3,000 profit but $4,000 deducted), your payout is denied.

  • You have a maximum of 20 soft breaches before account closure, this is detected at payout stage. Not automatically

Payout Denial Penalties

  • 2nd denial: account closed.
