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 Intro 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.
Tick Scalping
Please avoid any attempts at tick scalping, and keep trades open for over 2 minutes.
Consistency Rules
Profit Consistency Rule (20%)
In effect from 1st June 2025
No single trading day may equal or exceed 20% of your total profit for the account's life.
Formula: (Biggest Winning Day ÷ Total Profit) × 100 must be 20% or less.
Example: If you make $100 in one day, you must reach $500 total profit before you are eligible to request a payout.
Worked example: On a $5,000 account with $250 total profit, 20% of $250 is $50, so your biggest winning day must be $50 or less. If your biggest day is $60, then $60 ÷ $250 = 24% — above the 20% limit, so you can't request a payout yet. Keep trading until total profit reaches $300: $60 ÷ $300 = 20%, and you become eligible.
Not meeting the consistency rule is not a breach — you simply keep trading until you reach the threshold, subject to the 16-day account limit. Payout requests cannot be made until this rule is satisfied.
Lot Size Consistency
There is no lot size consistency rule on Instant Funding Intro.
Drawdown & Targets
Maximum Drawdown — Trailing High-Watermark (5%)
Breach level = highest balance/equity reached (HWM) − 5% of that highest value.
Example (start $5,000):
At start: HWM = $5,000 → breach level = $4,750
Equity peaks at $5,200: HWM = $5,200 → 5% = $260 → new breach level = $4,940
Balance later peaks at $5,400: HWM = $5,400 → 5% = $270 → new breach level = $5,130
If your balance or equity hits or drops below the breach level at any time, the account is closed. Unlike a static drawdown, this limit trails upward as your account grows.
Daily Drawdown (3%)
Max daily loss = 3% of initial balance ($150), recalculated daily at 5pm EST. Uses the higher of balance or equity at reset.
Example 1 — With Floating Profit: $5,000 account with +$100 open profit = equity $5,100. Next day, equity cannot drop below $4,950 ($5,100 − $150).
Example 2 — With Floating Loss: $5,000 account with −$100 open loss = equity $4,900. Since balance ($5,000) is higher, drawdown uses balance. Next day, equity cannot fall below $4,850 ($5,000 − $150).
Payouts
Profit Split
Traders receive 50% of the eligible payout amount.
Payout Schedule
Unlike the recurring 14-day cycle on other products, Instant Funding Intro allows only 1 payout across the account's life:
Not available before day 14.
Must be requested by day 16, when the account expires.
If no payout is requested by day 16, the account closes and no further withdrawal is possible.
Profit Cap & Max Withdrawal
Profit cap = 5% of initial balance = $50 maximum withdrawal for the account's single payout.
Instant Payouts
✅ Available on Instant Funding Intro. You can request the payout immediately after meeting requirements (day 14 onward), rather than waiting for a fixed cycle date. Processing is still covered by the 24-hour guarantee.
24-Hour Payout Guarantee
Once requested, payouts are processed within 24 business hours. If delayed, you'll receive an extra 10% on your profit split.
Exceptions include weekends, holidays, compliance checks, or delays in Rise onboarding.
Rule Breaches & Payout Denials
Soft Breaches (Profit Deductions)
Breaking a rule (e.g. the Stop Loss rule) deducts the profit from that trade off your total profit.
If deductions are less than your profit, the reduced payout is still processed.
If deductions exceed your profit, your payout is denied.
Maximum of 20 soft breaches before account closure — detected at the payout stage, not automatically.
If 50% or more of your trades are soft breached, your payout will be declined.
Payout Denial Penalties
Since only 1 payout is available on this account, a denial ends the account's earning potential for that cycle — there is no "1st denial / 2nd denial" progression as on recurring accounts. A denied payout means no funds are released; the account still closes at day 16.
Floating Loss Rule
In effect from 2nd February 2026, applies only to accounts purchased after this date.
If your account equity ever falls more than 1% below the starting balance (including floating losses, swaps, and commissions), penalties apply:
1st breach: profit split is halved.
2nd breach: account closed.
💡 This rule can be removed as an add-on for 15% of your account cost. If purchased, this rule will not apply to your account.
Example: On a $5,000 account with a starting balance of $5,000, if two open trades together push your equity below $4,950 (a 1% floating loss), the system registers a breach. After the second breach, the account is closed.
