Drawdown Rules by Phase

Phase 1

Test Phase — EOD Drawdown

Your drawdown limit resets at the end of each trading day based on your closing balance. Intraday highs do not affect your drawdown level. This gives you the most flexibility during the test phase.

Phase 2

Limited Phase — Trailing Drawdown

The drawdown follows your account's highest balance (not equity). On withdrawal, the drawdown resets from the updated balance to give you full breathing room.

Phase 3

Unlimited Phase — Lock Drawdown

Starts as trailing drawdown, then permanently locks to a static level once your highest balance reaches your starting balance plus your drawdown amount + $100. After locking, your drawdown level never moves again, giving you maximum flexibility to earn and trade how you see fit.

Breaching your drawdown level results in immediate account closure, regardless of account phase.

FAQ

Yes, news trading is allowed. We do not restrict trading during high-impact news events.

Yes, proprietary algorithmic strategies are permitted — both fully and semi-automated. Your algorithm must be unique and produce uncorrelated returns. Widely distributed or commercially available EAs are not permitted. HFT and arbitrage strategies are also prohibited regardless of execution method.

Drawdown works differently at each account phase. During the Test phase, you have EOD drawdown — it resets daily based on your closing balance. In the Limited phase, drawdown trails your highest balance. On withdrawal, the trailing resets to give you full breathing room. In the Unlimited phase, drawdown starts trailing but permanently locks once your highest balance reaches your starting balance plus your drawdown amount + $100. After locking, your drawdown level never moves again.

No. All open positions are automatically closed 15 minutes before each product group's Globex close. Overnight and weekend holding is not permitted.

Yes, all trades must have stop losses. Trading without stop losses is a prohibited activity and may result in account termination.

Yes, you can have unlimited test accounts. However, you may have a maximum of 3 active funded accounts per individual. All funded accounts must be registered under a personal (non-professional) designation.

You may copy trades between your own accounts (self-copy trading). However, mirror trading — copying trades from other traders, signal services, or third-party trade copiers — is prohibited and results in account termination. All accounts must be traded by the verified account holder.

Payouts are processed on the 1st and 15th of each month. Any payout request submitted within a pay period will be processed on the next scheduled date. The cutoff is midnight UTC — a request submitted before midnight on the 14th is processed on the 15th, while a request submitted after midnight starts the next period (processed on the 1st).

You can trade all major CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and COMEX futures contracts including equity indices (ES, NQ, YM, RTY), energy (CL, NG), metals (GC, SI), currencies, treasuries, grains, livestock, and cryptocurrency (MBT, MET). Each product group has specific regular trading hours.

There are two verification stages. Stage 1 (SumSub) happens before your test account is activated — if you fail, you receive a partial refund (minus processing fees) and cannot continue on the platform. Stage 2 (Rise) happens after you pass the test phase — if you fail, no refund is issued because the test account service was fully delivered. Both stages require passing independent requirements, and passing Stage 1 does not guarantee Stage 2.
