These rules apply to all traders using the Instant Bolt Account (Daily Payout Account). Please read the rules mentioned below carefully before trading.

The maximum daily drawdown is 3% of the account size, which equals $45 for a $1,500 account.
If the account equity falls below this limit during the trading day, it will be considered a rule breach.

The maximum overall drawdown is 4% of the account size, which equals $60 for a $1,500 account.
If the account equity drops below this level at any time, the account will be terminated immediately.

During the Funded Stage, a 1% Maximum Floating Loss rule is strictly enforced.

What this means:
Your open trades (floating P&L) must never exceed a 1% loss of your funded account balance at any moment.

2 Positions running at the same time will be considered as a single trade.

If your floating loss reaches or goes beyond 1%, it is considered a hard breach, and the account will be immediately closed, even if the trade later recovers.

If at any point your open positions show a floating loss of -$30 or more, this results in a hard breach.

The validity of the Instant Account is 30 days from the date of activation.
Traders must operate and manage the account within this period.

The payout cycle is every 24 hours.

Avoid trading after requesting payout.

Profit Split - 70/30

Traders must ensure that all payout requests remain within the daily drawdown limit of the account. An equity cushion must always be maintained when submitting a withdrawal request.

If a payout request exceeds the permitted daily drawdown limit, it will result in a breach of the equity cushion, which directly violates the daily drawdown rule.

Such an action will be treated as a hard breach of the account, and the account will be terminated according to the risk management policy.

Traders are therefore advised to maintain sufficient equity cushion and request payouts only within the allowed daily drawdown limit to avoid any rule violations.

NOTE : Payout requests can only be made after a minimum 24-hour period from the first executed trade.

Toxic trading means trading in a careless or unsafe way that cannot be sustained long-term.

Traders are not allowed to open 3 or more positions and lot size simultaneously without placing a stop loss. This practice , known as "layering trades" is considered a violation of our risk management policies .

Traders may not hold more than two open positions on the same instrument at any given time. This practice, known as layering, is not permitted.

Adding positions to a trade that is already in drawdown is strictly prohibited. Any strategy intended to recover losses through additional entries, including averaging down, grid trading, or martingale behavior, is not allowed.

This is considered as a soft breach in challenge phases and hard breach in funded phase and instant accounts .

Using risk that is disproportionately high compared to your account size.

What is considered a Martingale strategy?
A Martingale or loss-recovery strategy includes increasing lot size or position size after a losing trade , with the intention of recovering previous losses.

2 Positions running at the same time will be considered as a single trade.

Does timing matter?
Yes. Any increase in position size after a losing trade may be classified as Martingale behavior, even if the trade is not placed immediately.

Examples of Martingale behavior include:

What happens if Martingale is used during the Challenge phase?
Use of Martingale strategies during Challenge phases is considered a soft breach and may result in warnings, restrictions, or challenge failure at the firm’s discretion.

What happens if Martingale is used during the Funded phase?
Use of Martingale strategies during Funded phases is strictly prohibited and will be treated as a hard breach, which may lead to immediate account termination.

What is expected instead?
Traders are required to follow consistent risk management, maintaining stable or proportionate risk per trade and avoiding loss-recovery strategies.

Trading that resembles gambling rather than structured decision-making.

Entering too many trades in a short period without a clear strategy.

Extremely fast, high-frequency entries and exits designed to capture very small price movements.

Excessive tick scalping may be restricted due to execution and liquidity risks.

Arbitrage means opening trades to take advantage of price differences or correlations instead of real market analysis.

It is usually done to reduce or remove risk rather than to trade normally.

This often involves placing opposite or related trades across instruments, accounts, or platforms.

When used to cancel risk instead of normal strategy, this is treated as arbitrage behavior.

Hedging means opening opposite or related trades to reduce or cancel market risk instead of managing risk normally.

Traders usually hedge to protect themselves from losses, but when used improperly, it can be considered a soft breach.

This locks the position and removes real exposure to the market.

Behavior that shows lack of discipline or structured approach.

Such behavior may trigger monitoring or restrictions.

Taking repeated positions in only one direction without proper market justification.

Maintain a gap of 1hour to avoid one side bet

This increases risk and may result in soft-breach action.

Taking trades designed to intentionally lose or offset positions elsewhere.

During the Funded Phase, traders are not allowed to hold or execute trades during news events, unless specific timing conditions are met.

This creates a 20-minute restricted window around each news release.

This rule applies to all trade types, including:

During news speeches, the restriction window extends:

Any trade executed within this restricted window will be considered a violation.

❌ Trade opened at 2:55 PM → Violation
❌ Trade closed at 3:05 PM → Violation
