  • Using significantly different trading strategies or position sizes between the evaluation and authorized live accounts is considered a prohibited activity. For example, if you typically use 10% of your margin per trade during the Evaluation phase but switch to using 50% in the authorized live account, this may be flagged. We reserve the right to terminate the account, decline any orders, or withhold withdrawals in such cases. You may receive a warning or guidance on necessary corrective actions.

What are your trading style rules?

Please note that the following trading methods are not allowed.

Hedging: Open both long(buy) and short(sell) positions on the same asset simultaneously between diffrent accounts or different users. Engaging insuch practices will result in a hard breach of your account.

Group Trading: Multiple accounts executing identical trades or mirroring each other's trading records, is strictly prohibited. This practice undermines market integrity and skews performance metrics. All traders must operate their accounts independently, ensuring that each trading strategy and record is unique to the individual account holder.

One-sided Bet: If a trader utilizes over 85% of their margin in one direction, the account will be flagged for a potential hard breach. This measure aims to prevent excessive risk exposure and ensure balanced trading strategies.

Significantly Higher Margin Usage Per Trade: Traders must not exceed a significantly higher margin usage per trade in their authorized live account.

Accounts that violate these rules will be flagged for a potential hard breach.

Is there a breach for inactivity?

Yes, if you do not place a trade within 30 calendar days, your account will be considered inactive and subsequently closed. Please note that clicking the purchase button on the checkout page essentially acts as the starting gun.

Is placing stop-loss mandatory?

Stop-loss is not mandatory on 5K to 100K accounts.

For accounts of 200K and 400K, placing stop-loss orders becomes mandatory to ensure effective risk management, positions opened without stop-loss would be considered a soft breach, such trade will be closed. While it is strongly recommended for all accounts, for these higher-tier accounts, the use of stop-loss orders is a requirement to protect against large drawdowns and minimize potential losses in volatile markets.

Do I have to close my positions overnight?

No, you don't have to close the positions overnight. However, risk management is advised.

Can I hold positions over the weekend?

Positions can only be held over the weekend on the 2 Step Flex account. Please ensure you follow the rules for these types of accounts.
