At WSFunded, we focus on preserving the integrity and fairness of our trading platform. As a reminder, WSFunded’s philosophy centers on helping traders hone their skills, turning them into consistent and successful operators by replicating real market conditions. In other words, part of our mission at WSFunded is to ensure that those who thrive on our platform also succeed in a genuine market environment.
With this objective in mind, we cannot tolerate risky trading approaches that could likely lead to substantial losses in real market situations. To support these goals, we will implement the following safe trading strategies:
Violations we will monitor:
Account Churning: Acquiring the maximum number of evaluation accounts and attempting to complete them continuously, sacrificing certain accounts as necessary.
Gambling/Betting Behavior: Engaging in trades that resemble a significant bet or gamble without a clear plan or strategy.
Trade Stacking: Opening consecutive large positions on a single instrument to bypass risk limits.
Group Hedging: Executing opposing positions on the platform as a risk-hedging strategy.
Overleveraging: Exceeding appropriate leverage levels for trading. On Funded accounts, the maximum lot exposure listed below applies to each account size.
To illustrate: with a maximum exposure of 35 lots for Forex on a 100K account, you have the flexibility to open a single trade of 35 lots or distribute that exposure across multiple trades, for example, three trades of 10 lots and one of 5 lots. However, you may not open trades that together exceed 35 lots at the same time. For instance, two trades of 20 lots each would total 40 lots, which exceeds the permitted limit.
You are allowed to open new trades during the same day, as long as the 35-lot limit per trading idea is respected.
It is very important that you understand what a trading idea is in order to manage your trading correctly and avoid restrictions.
⚠️ If you exceed this limit, your account may be canceled.
MAXIMUM LOTS
Account Size | Forex | Commodities & Metals | Indexs |
$5k | 3 lots | 0.5 lots | 5 lots |
$10k | 6 lots | 1 lot | 10 lots |
$25k | 10 lots | 1.8 lots | 20 lots |
$50k | 20 lots | 4 lots | 40 lots |
$100k | 35 lots | 7 lots | 70 lots |
A trader cannot risk more than 50% of the daily drawdown on a single trading idea; for the risk team to accurately assess their risk, the SL (Stop Loss) must be added to the trade within a maximum of two minutes after the trade is opened. In other words:
If a client wants to make a purchase on XAUUSD, risking 3% with 30 lots, this constitutes a single trading idea. If these 30 lots are divided into 3 positions of 10 lots each, the risk per individual trade will be under 3%. However, for the trading idea as a whole, the risk will exceed 3%, so this practice will be considered gambling as it violates the 50% rule.
Traders suspected of engaging in these practices may face restrictions such as reduced leverage, limits on the number of daily trades, caps on daily lot sizes, or lower daily loss limits to control risk per trade. A maximum risk rule of 1% could also be applied, and they may even be banned from the company. Our goal as evaluators is to help you improve as a trader and risk manager while benefiting from the trade flow you generate. This evaluation aims to gather the best possible data to monetize it efficiently, strengthening our stability and the industry as a whole.
