📉 3% Daily Drawdown
Rule: Don’t lose more than 3% of your balance in one day.
Example: If your account is $100,000, the most you can lose in a day is $3,000. If your equity drops below $97,000 at any point in the day, the account is breached.
Why: Keeps traders from blowing accounts in a single session. Promotes discipline and risk control.
📉 7% Max Drawdown
Rule: Don’t lose more than 7% from your starting balance overall.
Example: On a $100,000 account, your account can’t drop below $93,000. Even if losses happen over several days, once that line is crossed, it’s over.
Why: Protects the firm’s capital and ensures traders don’t spiral into unrecoverable losses.
📰 Trading News Allowed
Rule: You can trade during high-impact news events.
Example: NFP Friday? FOMC press conference? You’re allowed to trade it — just manage your risk wisely.
Why: We trust skilled traders to capitalize on volatility without handcuffing you.
📊 25% Consistency Rule
Rule: No single day can make up more than 25% of your total profits.
Example: If you made $10,000 profit total, no day can account for more than $2,500 of that.
Why: This rewards consistent performance, not lucky shots. It proves you can replicate results.
📅 Holding Over Weekends Allowed
Rule: You may leave positions open over the weekend.
Example: You buy gold on Friday and want to hold until Monday’s open. That’s allowed here.
Why: Gives traders more flexibility with swing trades and longer-term setups.
⚖️ Lot Size Consistency
Currency Rule : You can only increase/decrease lot size by 1 lot from your previous trade.
Example: If you just traded 5 lots, your next trade must be 4, 5, or 6 lots — not 10.
Why: Prevents erratic lot size jumps and encourages consistent risk management.
Indices Rule: You can only decrease lot size by 0.25 from your previous trade.
Example: If you just traded 1 lot, your next trade must be 0.75, 1 or 1.25 lot - not 10.
Why: Prevents erratic lot size jumps and encourages consistent risk management.
Indices pairs include: Nas100 US30 Spx500 Ger40 Xauusd
🤖 Trading Bots Allowed
Rule: You may use EAs and trading bots.
Example: You’ve coded a MetaTrader bot that follows your strategy. You’re free to use it, as long as it obeys all other rules.
Why: We embrace innovation — if your bot performs consistently, it’s valid trading.
⏱️ Minimum Trade Time: 1 Minutes
Rule: Every trade must be open for at least 1 minutes.
Example: You place a buy on EUR/USD — you can’t close it after 30 seconds. It must stay open for 1+ minutes.
Why: Stops manipulation from ultra-fast scalp tactics not sustainable long-term.
⏳ 15-Day Inactivity Rule
Rule: Don’t let your account sit unused for over 15 days.
Example: If you don’t place a trade in over two weeks, the account can be closed.
Why: We want to support active traders. This rule keeps the ecosystem flowing.
