Our Rules

Last Revised on 12 May 2026

How It Works

  • Pay a one-time evaluation fee and receive a simulated trading account
  • Trade to reach the profit target while staying within risk limits
  • If you pass, you become eligible for a funded account
  • If you fail, the attempt ends and you may start again
  • You do not trade personal capital.

Core Rule System

Core rule system — Daily Loss and Maximum Drawdown limits

Your account is governed by two risk limits:

  • Daily Loss Limit: maximum loss allowed in a single day
  • Maximum Drawdown: maximum total loss allowed

If your equity reaches either limit at any time, the account is automatically terminated.

Balance vs Equity

Balance vs Equity comparison
  • Balance = closed trades only
  • Equity = balance + unrealized profit or loss from open trades

All limits are calculated using balance but enforced in real time using equity.

Open trades always count toward your limits.

Passing An Evaluation

Profit targets — passing vs not passing

To pass:

  • Reach the profit target on balance (you must close your trades, open profit does not count)
  • Stay within daily loss and maximum drawdown limits
  • 1-Step evaluations have one profit target: 10%
  • 2-Step evaluations have two phases: reach 5% to pass Phase 1, then your account resets to the starting balance and you must reach 10% to pass Phase 2
  • Degen evaluations have one profit target: 8%

There are no minimum trading days, no consistency rules and no time limit.

You must place at least one trade every 90 days to keep your account active.

Daily Loss Limit

Daily loss is the maximum your account can lose in a single day.

  • Calculated once per day at 04:00 UTC using your balance
  • Fixed for the entire day. It only changes at the next 04:00 UTC recalculation based on your new balance

1-Step evaluations: 3% daily loss | 2-Step evaluations: 4% daily loss | Degen evaluations: 2% daily loss

If your equity reaches the daily loss limit at any time, your account is terminated.

Example (1-Step Evaluation)

Start balance: $100,000 → 3% = $3,000 → Limit: $97,000

Next day balance: $110,000 → 3% = $3,300 → Limit: $106,700

Example (2-Step Evaluation)

Start balance: $100,000 → 4% = $4,000 → Limit: $96,000

Next day balance: $110,000 → 4% = $4,400 → Limit: $105,600

Example (Degen Evaluation)

Start balance: $100,000 → 2% = $2,000 → Limit: $98,000

Next day balance: $110,000 → 2% = $2,200 → Limit: $107,800

Maximum Drawdown

Maximum drawdown is the most your account can lose in total.

  • All evaluation accounts use a static drawdown model.
  • It is a fixed percentage of the starting balance
  • It does not move as your balance changes
  • It is not affected by payouts
  • It is enforced in real time using equity

1-Step evaluations: 5% maximum drawdown | 2-Step evaluations: 6% maximum drawdown | Degen evaluations: 3% maximum drawdown

Maximum drawdown diagram

Example (1-Step Evaluation):

Start balance: $100,000

Maximum drawdown: 5%

Drawdown buffer: $5,000

Drawdown level: $95,000

The drawdown level remains fixed at $95,000 throughout the evaluation. It does not move up if your balance reaches $105,000, $110,000, or higher.

Example (2-Step Evaluation):

Start balance: $100,000

Maximum drawdown: 6%

Drawdown buffer: $6,000

Drawdown level: $94,000

The drawdown level remains fixed at $94,000 throughout both phases. It does not move up if your balance increases.

Example (Degen Evaluation):

Start balance: $100,000

Maximum drawdown: 3%

Drawdown buffer: $3,000

Drawdown level: $97,000

The drawdown level remains fixed at $97,000 throughout the evaluation. It does not move up if your balance increases.

Bottom Line

  • Equity must stay above both risk limits at all times
  • Daily loss resets each day at 04:00 UTC
  • Maximum drawdown is static and fixed from the starting balance
  • Profit targets require closed profits
  • Funded accounts follow the same rules as evaluations
  • All limits are visible in your dashboard and trading terminal.
