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

  • If you have 50% or more of trades being soft breached, your payout will be declined. For example, if you have 15 trades and 10 of them are in breach of our rules, the payout will be declined

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.
