Please read this guide to understand the rules of the program.

Overview

What is Pro Zero?

Pro Zero removes consistency rules and keeps the process simple. It uses a single-step (1 Step) evaluation: reach the profit target without breaching the drawdown limits, and you'll be funded.

Account Parameters

Challenge Phase (1 Step)

  • Profit Target: 5%

  • Max Drawdown: 5% trailing (high-watermark)

  • Daily Drawdown: None

  • Minimum Trading Days: None

Funded Phase

  • Profit Cap: 5% per payout cycle

  • Max Drawdown: 5% trailing — locks at 1% below starting balance once 4% profit is achieved

  • Daily Drawdown: None

  • Minimum Trading Days: None

  • Profit Consistency Rule: None

  • Payout Frequency: every 14 days (bi-weekly)

  • Max Funding: $300,000

Trading Rules

Stop Loss

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

  • "Fake" stop losses are not allowed (a SL that, if hit, would exceed the daily or max drawdown).

News Trading

Not allowed: if a trade is open or closed within 5 minutes before or after any high-impact (Red) news event, the profit will be treated as a soft breach and deducted from the account at payout.

Expert Advisors (EAs)

Not allowed on Pro Zero.

Copy Trading

Copying your own trades is allowed. Copying other traders' trades in the same timeframe is not allowed.

Averaging Into Trades

Allowed.

Tick Scalping

Avoid any attempt at tick scalping, and keep trades open for more than 2 minutes.

Consistency Rules

None.

Drawdown & Targets

Profit Target (Challenge)

Single-step target = 5%. Reach 5% profit without breaching the 5% trailing drawdown, and the account moves to funded.

Max Drawdown (Funded – 5% trailing)

Breach level = highest balance/equity reached (HWM) − 7% of that highest value.

Example (start $100,000):

  • At start: HWM = $100,000 → breach level = $95,000

  • Equity peaks at $102,000: HWM = $102,000 → 5% = $5,000 → new breach level = $97,000

  • Balance later peaks at $105,000: HWM = $105,000 → 5% = $5,000 → new breach level = $100,000

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

None

Payouts

Profit Split

70% from the first payout onward.

Payout Schedule

Bi-weekly (every 14 days).

Profit Cap & Max Withdrawal

  • Profit cap per cycle = 5% of the starting balance.

  • Max withdrawal per cycle = 5% of the starting balance.

  • Example: on a $100,000 account, the max withdrawal per cycle is $5,000.

Buffer Rule

To request a payout, you must first reach a 3% profit buffer. Once you pass that threshold, you can withdraw any profit above the buffer, with your profit split applied to the withdrawn amount.

For example, on a $100,000 account the 3% buffer is $103,000. If your balance reaches $105,000, you can withdraw $2,000 — after your 70% split, you would receive $1,400. If your balance is $103,500, you can withdraw $500 and receive $350.

Once the payout is complete, the account balance resets to the starting balance.

24-Hour Payout Guarantee

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

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

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

Rule Breaches & Payout Denials

Soft Breaches (Profit Deductions)

  • If you break a rule (e.g. the stop-loss rule or other restrictions), that trade's profit is deducted from your total profit.

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

  • If the deductions exceed 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 the payout stage, not automatically.

  • If 50% or more of your trades incur soft breaches, your payout will be denied. For example, if you have 15 trades and 10 of them break our rules, the payout is denied.

Payout Denial Penalties

  • 1st denial: your profit split is halved.

  • 2nd denial: account closure.

Floating Loss Rule

There is no floating loss rule on Pro Zero. It does not apply to these accounts.
