To ensure safe, disciplined, and realistic trading, we follow strict risk management rules. These are designed to protect your account and prepare you for the challenges of a professional trading environment. Below, we explain each rule with practical examples:
✅ 1. Stop Loss is mandatory for EVERY trade
You must always use a stop loss when opening a position.
If you open a trade without setting a stop loss within 3 minutes, it will be considered a rule violation.
Example:
You open a buy position on EUR/USD at 10:00 AM.
If you don’t place a stop loss by 10:03 AM, this trade will be in violation of the rules.
⚠️ 2. Never risk more than 2% of your account balance
The maximum allowed risk per trade is 2% of your virtual balance.
This means that if the stop loss is triggered, the maximum loss cannot exceed this limit.
Important:
It doesn’t matter if the market never actually hits your stop.
If your stop loss is positioned such that the risk exceeds 2%, it’s already a violation.
Example 1 – Correct:
Your account has $10,000.
You place a stop loss where the maximum loss is $200 (2%) if triggered. This is within the rule ✅
Example 2 – Incorrect (Violation):
You set up a trade where a stop loss would lead to a $300 loss (3%).
Even if the market moves in your favor from the start, this is a violation ❌
🔁 3. Total combined risk across multiple entries also counts!
If you open more than one position on the same asset, the combined risk must not exceed 2% of your balance.
Example:
You have 2 open positions in BTC/USD:
First trade with $120 risk
Second trade with $100 risk
Total: $220 risk → This represents 2.2% risk = rule violation ❌
🚫 4. What happens if I violate these rules?
You are allowed up to 2 violations during your evaluation phase.
Any profitable trade that breaks the rules will be disregarded from your performance evaluation.
After 3 violations, your account will be closed.
A "trade" is any active position on the same asset.
Even if you make multiple entries close in time and of the same type, they will be considered a single trade.
If it is found that you are taking excessive risk, using high-risk strategies, or attempting to bypass the rules, you will be disqualified and cannot advance to the funded phase.
💡 Quick Summary:
✅ Always use a stop loss
✅ Risk per trade must not exceed 2%
✅ Place your stop within 3 minutes
❌ Just placing a stop isn’t enough—if the risk is over 2%, it’s a violation
❌ Combining risk from multiple trades on the same asset above 2% is also a violation
🚫 3 violations = account closed
