Trading Objectives
These are the exact rules your account is judged by. Each account keeps a copy of the rules it was created under, shown on its dashboard, so a later change to a program never affects an account you already have.
Max daily loss
At the start of every trading day (midnight Central European Time, which follows daylight saving) we take your balance and subtract the daily loss percentage of your initial capital. Your equity, including floating profit or loss, swaps and commissions, must stay above that level all day.
Example on a $100,000 account with a 5% limit: you end Monday at $102,000, so on Tuesday your equity must stay above $97,000.
Max loss
Your equity must never fall below the max loss level. Depending on the program it is:
- Static: initial capital minus the max loss percentage. It never moves.
- End-of-day trailing: the highest balance recorded at any midnight, minus the percentage of initial capital. It only rises.
- Intraday trailing: the highest balance after any closed trade, minus the percentage of initial capital. It only rises.
Profit target
Your closed balance must reach the target with all positions closed. Floating profit does not count, so a gain that disappears a second later never passes anyone.
Minimum trading days
A trading day is any day on which you open at least one position. Days are counted in Central European Time.
Consistency rule
Where it applies, your best day's closed profit must be no more than the stated share of your total profit. Going over it is not a breach: you simply keep trading until it is met.
News and weekends
During evaluations you may trade news and hold over the weekend. On a funded Standard account, orders on affected instruments are paused two minutes either side of restricted releases (shown on the economic calendar), and positions are closed shortly before the Friday market close. Swing accounts trade both freely at lower leverage.
Inactivity
An account with no trading activity for 30 days ends.
