What is the leverage for all accounts?

All plans offer 1:100 leverage, regardless of account type or size.

The leverage you receive varies depending on the asset you’re trading. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

  • Forex: Up to 1:100 leverage
  • Indices: Leverage set at 1:30
  • Commodities (Gold and Silver): Leverage of 1:20
  • Cryptocurrencies: Leverage is more conservative at 1:2 due to higher market volatility 

This leverage structure is designed to maximize trading opportunities across various markets while maintaining a balanced approach to risk management.

Are Stop-Losses mandatory?

Yes. A stop-loss must be placed within 3 minutes of opening any trade. Failing to place a stop-loss will result in an account breach (2 soft breaches allowed before termination).

Is High-Frequency Trading (HFT) allowed?

HFT is allowed with restrictions. There is a minimum 60-second hold time between opening and closing any trade. Violating this timing requirement results in an account breach (2 soft breaches allowed).

How many trades can I stack on the same instrument?

Stacking is defined as: same instrument + same direction. The maximum is 2 trades. Exceeding this limit is a hard breach, applicable to both evaluation and funded accounts.

Is news trading allowed?

Yes, with restrictions. No trades may be opened or closed within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news event on the traded instrument. Violating this rule results in a soft breach.

Can I use EAs (Expert Advisors)?

Yes. EAs are permitted provided they do not violate prohibited strategies such as HFT, arbitrage, grid/martingale, tick scalping, or copying external traders. The EA must also follow the 3-minute stop-loss rule and 60-second minimum hold time.

Can I hold trades overnight and over the weekend?

Yes. Overnight and weekend holding is permitted during both evaluation and funded phases.

What is the 25% Profit Rule Threshold?

There is no limit on the total profit a trader can make. However, no single trade or single trading day can account for more than 25% of the total profit earned.

Example:
If your total profit is $4,000, then no single trade or single trading day should generate more than $1,000 of that profit. This rule is designed to promote consistent and disciplined trading practices.
