Trading Rules

News trading means opening or holding positions during major economic announcements like NFP, FOMC, CPI, and GDP releases.

Copy trading allows traders to replicate trades from a signal provider, another account, or a master strategy across their funded account.

EA (Expert Advisor) and bot trading means using automated trading software to execute strategies on the funded account.

Weekend holding means keeping positions open from Friday market close through Monday market open.

Overnight holding means keeping positions open past the daily market close or rollover period.

Some prop firms require traders to place a stop-loss order on every position.

A refundable challenge fee means the prop firm returns your evaluation cost after you successfully pass the challenge or meet specific conditions such as reaching your first payout.

A scaling plan is a program offered by some prop firms that allows funded traders to increase their account size over time.

Minimum trading days is a requirement imposed by many prop firms that traders must actively trade on a certain number of calendar or trading days before they can pass an evaluation phase or request a payout.

Balance-based drawdown means the firm calculates your daily loss limit from the account balance at the start of the trading day, rather than from real-time equity.

Equity-based drawdown means the firm calculates your daily loss limit from real-time account equity, which includes unrealized profits and losses on all open positions.

Trailing drawdown is a maximum loss limit that increases as your account balance grows.

Static drawdown means your maximum loss limit is calculated from your starting balance and stays fixed regardless of how much profit you earn.
