Assets

FXCryptoIndicesMetalsEnergy

Instruments

156 CFDs: 60 FX pairs (including USDHKD and EURHKD), 58 crypto pairs, 16 indices (including HK50 and CHINA50), 19 metals and 3 energies; no single stocks. The Synthetic plan trades 12 synthetic indices only.

Leverage and limits

Same on every plan: FX 1:30, indices, energy and metals 1:10 (GAU 1:50), crypto 1:2, synthetic indices 1:30. Accounts bought after 12 March 2026 have no lot-size cap; the per-trade-idea loss limit does that job instead.

Commissions

Raw spreads from 0.1 pips plus commission: $7 per standard lot on FX and gold, charged at open and at close. Swaps apply.

Max allocation

$2MThe firm's stated ceiling is $2,000,000, reached through the scaling plan (up to +25% every 3 months). It publishes no cap on how many starting funded accounts you can hold at once.

1. 01

   The loss limit per trade idea

   Strict

   On funded 1-Step, Instant Lite and Instant Elite accounts, any trade idea losing 1.5% of the starting balance breaches the account instantly. Same-instrument, same-direction positions add together, and re-entering the same direction on that or a correlated instrument (gold and silver, say) within 10 minutes of a losing close continues the idea. A momentary floating touch counts. Flex 1-Step uses 1% from the challenge on, soft on the first hit. Prime has no such rule.

   Example

   A $100K funded 1-Step has a $1,500 limit. Three same-direction positions losing $600, $500 and $400 total $1,500, and the account breaches. On $5K holding 0.02 lots of gold, a $37.50 drop in gold reaches the $75 limit.

2. 02

   Max drawdown: fixed on evaluations, trailing equity on Instant

   Strict

   On Prime, 1-Step, Flex 1-Step and Synthetic the loss line is fixed below the starting balance and never moves up. On Instant Lite (4%) and Instant Elite (10%) it trails your highest equity, unrealised profit included, until it locks at the starting balance. Both are checked on equity, and Instant accounts get no warnings.

   Example

   Instant Elite $10K: the floor starts at $9,000. An open trade lifts equity to $11,200 and the floor locks at $10,000 — even if that trade then closes at breakeven. Prime $100K keeps its floor at $90,000 for good.

3. 03

   Daily loss: counted from the higher of balance or equity

   Strict

   It resets at 5 pm New York time. On Prime, 1-Step, Flex 1-Step and Synthetic the limit is a fixed dollar amount from the starting balance, subtracted from the higher of the day's opening balance or equity; Instant Lite uses 2% of that opening figure. Touching it breaches the account. Carry floating profit overnight and the new floor is set from the higher equity. Instant Elite has no daily limit.

   Example

   Prime $100K: $4,000 every day. Start at $105,000 and the floor is $101,000; start at $98,000 and it is $94,000. A 1-Step $100K opening with a $100,000 balance and $102,000 equity has a $98,000 floor.

4. 04

   A trading day needs 0.5% closed profit

   Watch out

   A Blueberry trading day is not any day you trade: you must close at least 0.5% of the starting balance in profit that day. Floating profit and losing days do not count, the payout-approval day does not count, and days do not carry over. Required: Prime 3 per phase and per cycle; 1-Step 3 in the challenge and 3 per cycle; Instant Elite 5 per cycle; Synthetic 3; Flex 1-Step and post-17-August Instant Lite none.

   Example

   On $50K you must close $250 in profit for the day to count, and the bar stays $250 after the balance reaches $51,000.

5. 05

   News: no opening or closing 2 minutes either side

   Strict

   On challenges and funded accounts you may not open or close within 2 minutes of a red-folder release; pending orders and take-profits filling count. A stop-loss hit inside the window on a trade open 6+ hours is excused. Violating profit is removed at payout, and 3 or more news trades in one payout void it and reset the account. Prime only bars new entries; Flex 1-Step uses 5 minutes and three strikes.

   Example

   NFP at 08:30 New York time: from 08:28 to 08:32 no fills on any USD pair, gold, silver, oil, US indices, Bitcoin or Ether.

6. 06

   Consistency: only on Instant Lite and Synthetic

   Watch out

   Most plans have none. Instant Lite bought from 17 August 2026: your best day must be within 15% of the profit behind a payout; Synthetic funded accounts use 30%. Missing it only holds the payout; nothing is deducted. Separately, the risk team can notify you in writing of a tighter setup — 1% per trade idea, a 30% consistency check or more trading days.

   Example

   Instant Lite requesting on $2,000 of profit: your best day may be at most $300.

7. 07

   EAs: only your own, disclosed and approved first

   Watch out

   EAs are allowed on every plan except Synthetic, but only if you built them, they run your own strategy, and you disclosed them and got consent before use. Bought, rented, shared or commissioned EAs are banned, adjustable settings or not. Utility tools such as position sizers are fine. A violation breaches the account and voids pending payouts.

8. 08

   IP rule: one trader per household

   Watch out

   One person's accounts per IP; someone else in your household cannot buy their own. A VPN or VPS must use a static IP. Email your itinerary before travelling — switching between distant countries' IPs on the same day without notice is treated as a breach. Up to two devices may be logged in at once.

9. 09

   Close a trade at least every 30 days

   Good to know

   Every account, funded ones included, is breached automatically after 30 days without a closed trade. Only a close counts — an open position, an unfilled order or a login does not. Accounts cannot be paused; a warning comes about a week before.

   Example

   Hold one position for six weeks without closing anything, and the account breaches on day 30.

1. 01 · First payout

   14 days after you start trading the funded account, once the plan's trading days and minimum are met. The 1-Step 7-Day add-on (+20%) makes it 7 days; the On-Demand add-on lets you request as soon as the days are done.

2. 02 · After that

   Every 14 days after the previous approval. Risk review takes up to 24 hours, then payment usually 1–2 business days — though the firm says some payouts currently take 7–14 business days during a payment-system upgrade.

3. 03 · Profit split

   80% (85% on Flex 1-Step); evaluation accounts can reach 90% through scaling, Instant accounts cannot scale.

Minimum

$100 realised profit; 1% of the starting balance on Flex 1-Step; $200 on Synthetic.
