Profit Consistency Rule — 20%

Instant Funding Pro accounts are subject to a 20% Consistency Rule. No single trading day may account for 20% or more of your total profit during the current payout cycle.

  • Your profits should be reasonably distributed throughout the payout period rather than concentrated in a single trading day.

  • If your account does not meet the consistency requirement, you cannot request a payout until the requirement is satisfied.

  • Trading days reset daily at 5:00 PM Eastern Time.

Example: If you make $1,000 in profit on a single trading day, you must reach at least $5,000 in total profit for the payout cycle. At that point, the $1,000 represents exactly 20% of your total profit, making you eligible to request a payout, provided all other payout requirements are met.

Drawdown Rules

Maximum Drawdown — 6% Trailing

  • Your account equity must not fall more than 6% below the highest recorded equity level.

  • The Maximum Drawdown is trailing, meaning the Drawdown Floor moves upward as your account reaches new equity highs.

  • The Drawdown Floor follows your peak equity and does not move downward when your equity decreases.

Example: On a $10,000 Instant Funding Pro account, the initial Maximum Drawdown is $600, giving you an initial Drawdown Floor of $9,400. If your equity increases to $11,000, the Drawdown Floor moves up accordingly to $10,400.

Daily Drawdown — 3%

  • The Daily Drawdown limit is 3% of the initial account balance and is recalculated daily at 5:00 PM EST.

  • The daily limit is based on the higher of your account balance or equity at the daily reset.

  • The Daily Drawdown level resets every day at 5:00 PM EST.

Example: On a $10,000 Instant Funding Pro account, the Daily Drawdown allowance is $300. If your balance/equity at the reset is $10,500, your equity must remain above $10,200 during the following trading day.

Important: Breaching either the Maximum Drawdown or Daily Drawdown limit is considered a hard breach and may result in account closure.

Profit Split

  • Traders receive an 80% profit split by default.

  • Eligible traders can upgrade to a 90% profit split

The profit split determines the percentage of eligible profits paid to the trader, subject to all applicable payout rules, consistency requirements, and profit caps.

————————————————————————————————————————

Profit Cap & Maximum Withdrawal

  • The Profit Cap is 5% of the initial account balance per payout cycle.

  • This means the maximum profit eligible for withdrawal in each payout cycle is 5% of the account’s initial balance.

  • Example: On a $5,000 account, the maximum withdrawal per payout cycle is $250.

Any profit above the 5% cap will not be eligible for withdrawal during that payout cycle.

————————————————————————————————————————

Payout Schedule

  • Payouts are available every 14 days.

  • Traders may request a payout once all applicable payout requirements have been satisfied.

Payouts are covered by Funded Daily’s 24-hour payout guarantee.

Soft Breach Rules

1% Floating Loss Rule

  • Your combined floating loss across all open positions must not exceed 1% of your account’s initial balance at any time.

  • The Floating Loss limit is monitored in real time and includes commissions.

  • Funded Daily accounts are swap-free, so overnight or rollover swap costs are not included in this calculation.

Example: On a $10,000 Instant Funding account, your combined floating loss must remain within $100. If your total floating loss exceeds $100 at any moment, a soft breach is recorded.

Soft Breach: If your combined floating loss exceeds 1% of the initial account balance, the violation is recorded as a Soft Breach, and the profit from the affected trade will be deducted from your payout.

Important: Soft breaches do not automatically close your account. However, if you reach 20 total soft breaches, your account will be closed as a Hard Breach.

This rule applies to Instant Funding and Instant Funding Pro accounts.
