Trading Rules

Stop Losses

  • A stop-loss is mandatory and must be set within 5 minutes of opening any trade in funded status.

  • β€œFake” stop-losses (where a hit would exceed daily or max DD) are not allowed.

News Trading

  • Allowed at all times.

Expert Advisors (EAs)

  • Not allowed on Instant Funding Pro.

Copy Trading

  • Allowed to copy your own trades; copying others in the same timeframe is not permitted.

Averaging Into Trades

  • Allowed. Trades in the same direction on the same pair opened close together are treated as one Trade Idea for checks (Profit Consistency & Lot Consistency).

Tick Scalping

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


Consistency Rules

Profit Consistency (from 1st June 2025)

  • No single trading day may equal or exceed 20% of your total profit for that payout period.

  • Example: If you make $1,000 in one day, you must reach $5,000 total profit before you’re eligible to request a payout.

  • Important: Consistency is calculated on total profit, not the profit cap. (e.g., on $10,000 total profit, 20% = $2,000, regardless of a 5% cap on withdrawals.)

  • You cannot request a payout until this rule is satisfied.

  • If you are on a 200k Instant Funding Pro account, the consistency rule will be 15%, not 20% consistency. (As of 3rd of December, 2025). Meaning if you make $5,000 total, no single trading day should be more than 15% of that, which is $750

Lot Size Consistency

  • Checked at payout.

  • Based on your average lot size:

    • Max = average +100%

    • Min = average –75%

  • Example: Avg 1.0 lot β†’ Max 2.0 lots, Min 0.25 lots.

Trade Ideas: Multiple positions in the same direction on the same pair opened within a short window (e.g., 5–10 minutes) are aggregated as one Trade Idea for both lot size and profit consistency.


Drawdown & Targets

Maximum Drawdown (Trailing High-Watermark, 7%)

  • The breach level = Highest balance/equity (HWM) – 7% of that HWM.

  • Example (start $100,000):

    • At start: HWM = $100,000 β†’ Breach level = $100,000 – $7,000 = $93,000.

    • If equity peaks at $102,000: HWM = $102,000 β†’ Breach level = $102,000 – $7% of 102,000 (= $7,140) = $94,860.

    • If balance later peaks at $107,000: HWM = $107,000 β†’ Breach level = $107,000 – $7,490 = $99,510.

Daily Drawdown (3%)

  • Recalculated daily at 5pm EST using the higher of balance or equity at reset; limit = that higher value minus 3% of the initial balance.

  • Example 1 (floating profit):

    • $100,000 account; 5pm equity $102,000 β†’ Next day equity must stay β‰₯ $99,000 ( $102,000 – $3,000 ).

  • Example 2 (floating loss):

    • 5pm equity $98,000 and balance $100,000 β†’ Use balance; next day equity must stay β‰₯ $97,000 ( $100,000 – $3,000 ).


Payouts

Profit Split

  • 80% from the first payout onward.

Payout Schedule

  • Bi-weekly (every 14 days).

  • Instant payout requests are not available for Instant Funding Pro (see below).

Profit Cap & Max Withdrawal

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

  • Max Withdrawal per cycle = 5% of initial balance.

    • Example: On $200,000, max withdrawal per cycle = $10,000.

Instant Payouts

  • Not available on Instant Funding Pro (available on other products as specified).

24-Hour Payout Guarantee

  • Once a payout is eligible and requested, we process within 24 business hours.

  • If we miss this, you receive an extra 10% on your profit split.

  • Exceptions: weekends/holidays, compliance/risk reviews, or delays in Rise onboarding/user response.


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

  • 1st denial: profit split halved.

  • 2nd denial: account closed.

Floating Loss Rule (from 16th September 2025)

  • If your account equity ever falls more than 1% below the starting balance (including floating losses, swaps, and commissions), penalties will apply:

    • 1st breach: Profit split is halved.

    • 2nd breach: account closed.

Example:
On a $100,000 account, if your starting balance is $100,000 and you have two trades open that together push your equity below $99,000 (a 1% floating loss), the system will register a breach. After the second breach, the account will be closed.

⚠️ This rule applies only to accounts purchased after 15th June 2025.
