Neither phase expires, and there is no requirement to trade a set number of days. You can pass in a week or take a year.

Loss limit is fixed against the starting balance for the whole evaluation. Breaching it ends the account immediately, whether or not the position later recovers.

Measured from the balance at the daily reset. Floating losses on open positions count toward it the moment they occur, not when the trade is closed.

Positions may not be opened or closed within a few minutes either side of a red-folder release. Trades that breach the filter are removed from your result and can void a payout.

The standard account blocks trading around high-impact news and holding over the weekend. The Swing variant allows both, at lower leverage. It is a different product, not a setting you can change later.

Automated strategies may be used, provided they do not exploit latency, pricing errors or the demo feed.

Anything still open at the Friday close is flattened by the risk desk, and the resulting loss counts against you.

Crypto is available outside market hours, but at a fraction of the leverage offered on FX and it is excluded from any news-trading exemption.

This is the headline figure and applies to FX. Indices, commodities and crypto are each capped lower — see the instruments table for the class you trade.

The cycle runs from your last approved request, not from the calendar month. A request made early resets the clock rather than bringing the next one forward.

Counted from the day the funded account is issued. Completed KYC is required before the first request is released.

Requests are reviewed against the trading rules before release. A confirmed breach voids that payout, and repeat breaches close the account.

The evaluation fee is refunded alongside your first withdrawal from the funded account, which makes the real cost of passing zero.

Accounts linked by identity documents, payment method, IP address or trading pattern are treated as one. Undisclosed duplicates are closed and their profit forfeited.

You must trade the account yourself. Handing credentials to a third party, including an account manager, ends the arrangement.

Strategies that depend on execution speed, price-feed delay or tick scalping are treated as exploiting the platform rather than trading it.

Mirroring trades across accounts, your own included, is grounds for closure of every linked account.

Doubling into a losing position, or layering a grid without a defined stop, counts as a prohibited risk strategy.
