Core Trading Principles & Risk Management

Our platform is designed for disciplined traders who employ strategic and analytical approaches. The following rules are in place to prevent high-risk behaviors and encourage sustainable trading habits.

1. Balanced & Analytical Trading Strategy

Traders are expected to base their positions on market analysis rather than engaging in one-sided or directional betting without sufficient justification. A well-researched trading plan is essential for long-term success.

2. Prohibition of High-Volume Gambling

Placing an excessive volume of trades in a very short period is considered gambling behavior and is strictly prohibited. Your trading activity should reflect a thoughtful strategy, not an attempt to game the market.

3. Restriction on Excessive Scalping

While scalping can be a valid strategy, excessive scalping is not permitted. This is defined as having 50% or more of your total trades held for less than one minute. We encourage strategies that allow for proper analysis before entering and exiting positions.

4. Prohibition of "All-In" Trading Behavior

Committing a disproportionately large percentage of your account's equity to a single trade or a series of correlated trades is considered a violation of our risk management principles.

• Mandatory Stop-Loss: All trades must be protected with a stop-loss. Trading without a stop-loss is a direct violation of this rule and will result in account termination.

5. Prohibition of Revenge Trading

Immediately entering a trade in the opposite direction of a losing position just after closing it ("reverse hand post-loss") is considered revenge trading. This reactive behavior is prohibited as it deviates from disciplined risk management.

Account Activity & Technical Rules

These rules govern the technical aspects of your trading account, including activity requirements and position limits.

6. Account Inactivity Policy

To keep your funded account active, you are required to place at least one trade every 30 calendar days. Accounts that remain inactive beyond this period are subject to suspension and potential closure.

7. Position Stacking and Exposure Limits

To manage market exposure, traders must adhere to our position stacking limits. You are permitted a maximum of 4 open positions per asset pair and a total of 7 open positions across all instruments at any given time. Any systematic attempt to bypass these exposure limits will be treated as a severe violation.

8. Prohibition of Martingale Strategy

The use of the Martingale strategy, which involves doubling down on losing positions, is strictly prohibited. This strategy is incompatible with our risk management framework.

Specific Trading Event Restrictions

9. News Trading Restrictions

To protect accounts from extreme volatility, trading during high-impact news events is restricted.

• Restricted Window: Traders must not open or close any trades in the window of 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after a high-impact (red folder) news event.
• Execution Restriction: This rule applies to both manual execution and automated closures. A trade that was opened prior to the restricted window but has its Take Profit (TP) or Stop Loss (SL) triggered during the window is considered a violation.
• Stop-Loss Exception: A position that was opened more than 6 hours before a news release and is closed by its stop-loss during the news trading window will be permitted.

10. Copy Trading Policy

Copy trading is allowed for your personal accounts.

Stock Program Rules & Prohibited Practices

The following rules are specific to traders enrolled in our Stock Program.

11. Stock Program Consistency Rule

A 30% Daily Consistency Rule applies to all Stock Program accounts. This means your highest profit trading day must account for less than 30% of your total profits for that payout period. You cannot request a payout until this condition is met.

12. Prohibited Practices in the Stock Program

• Market Open/Close: Trading is prohibited within the first 5 minutes after the market opens (from 14:30 UTC) and within the last 5 minutes before the market closes (after 20:55 UTC).
• Earnings Releases: Trading a specific stock is prohibited within the 5 minutes before or after its earnings release.
• Strategy & Risk: Martingale trading is prohibited, and placing a stop-loss is mandatory on all trades.
• Post-Loss Restriction: After closing a trade on a specific stock at a loss, you must wait at least 5 minutes before trading that same asset again.
• Portfolio Diversity: Your account portfolio cannot consist solely of small-cap stocks when passing an evaluation or requesting a payout.

13. Tiered Lot Size Restrictions

We utilize a tiered lot size system that scales with your account balance. As your capital grows, your maximum allowable lot size increases. This ensures that your risk exposure remains proportional to your account size. The specific limits per asset class are detailed in the table below.
