Frequently Asked Questions

Consistency Rules

  • Instant Standard
    A consistency rule of 20% applies, meaning one trading day cannot equal or exceed 20% of total profits.
  • Guardian X
    A consistency rule of 20% applies, meaning one trading day cannot equal or exceed 20% of total profits.
  • Instant Starter
    A consistency rule of 15% applies, meaning one trading day cannot equal or exceed 15% of total profits.
  • 2-Step Pro
    A 25% consistency rule applies, meaning one trading day cannot equal or exceed 25% of total profits.

Trading Restrictions

  • Risk Management: risking 3–4% on a single trade with excessive margin and no stop-loss is against the rules.
  • All or Nothing: all or nothing practices are prohibited.

News Trading

  • Allowed with restriction: 5 minutes prior to and after a high-impact news event.
  • Allowed in all evaluation programs: without any restriction.
  • Allowed in Guardian X and all instant programs: without restriction.

Stop Loss

  • Stop Loss: not required. You’re free to trade without setting stop losses on your positions. However, while high risk-to-reward calculated trades are acceptable and encouraged, risking 3–4% on a single trade using the majority of your margin (usually with no stop loss) is against the rules.

Weekend Holding

  • Weekend Trading: you can hold trades over the weekend without any restrictions on all account types. Cryptocurrency trading is also allowed over the weekends.

Drawdown

  • Drawdown Adjustment Rule: applies to 1-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro, Guardian X, and Instant accounts.
    If your X% trailing Max Drawdown resets to the initial balance after reaching an X% profit, maintain a profit buffer of 1% to keep trading.
    Withdrawing all profits will result in account closure.
  • Guardian Shield (Funded Stage):
    Instant Accounts and Guardian X: open trades incurring a 1% loss of initial balance may be auto-closed.
    1-Step, 1-Step Pro, 2-Step, 2-Step Pro, 2-Step Classic, and 3-Step accounts: auto-close if open trades incur a 2% loss of initial balance.
    This is a soft breach.

    1st breach: profit split drops to 50%.
    2nd breach: account is breached.

Time Limits

  • Minimum Holding Time: the minimum holding time is 2 minutes. If a trade is closed in under 2 minutes, it may be flagged for tick scalping, which is against the trading rules.

Minimum Trading Days

  • Minimum Trading Days: the requirement varies by account model.

    3 Days Minimum:
    1-Step Standard and Pro
    2-Step Classic
    3-Step Models

    5 Days Minimum:
    2-Step Standard and Pro
    Guardian X
    Instant Funded
    Starter Models

    How it works: a day counts only if you achieve at least 0.5% profit on that day (based on closed balance). Days don’t need to be consecutive — any day with at least 0.5% profit counts toward your requirement. This applies to all phases, including funded accounts.

Lot size / Margin Rules

  • Leverage & Lot Size: there are no lot size restrictions — your leverage and margin are your limits.

    Leverage by account type:

    Evaluation Accounts (1-Step & 3-Step):
    Forex: 1:100
    Indices: 1:20
    Commodities: 1:20
    Crypto: 1:2

    2-Step Pro & Standard (Evaluation & Funded):
    Forex: 1:50
    Indices: 1:10
    Commodities: 1:10
    Crypto: 1:2

    Instant Funding & Guardian X:
    Forex: 1:30
    Indices: 1:10
    Commodities: 1:10
    Crypto: 1:2

    Your margin stop out level is 100% — the least profitable running position will be closed if you go below this level.

Copy Trading

  • Allowed: personal accounts only.

Expert Advisors (EA)

  • Expert Advisors (EAs): ✅ Allowed
    You can use EAs that you set up to suit your own strategy or trading style.
  • Trade Copiers: ❌ Not allowed
    Important: while VPNs and VPS are allowed, using either service to bypass rules related to copy trading, group trading, or signal trading is strictly prohibited. If you’re found misusing these services in violation of your contract or our Terms of Use, your account will be failed and terminated.

Inactivity Rule

  • Inactivity Rule: all accounts will be deactivated after 30 days of inactivity.

Martingale

  • Martingale: ✅ Allowed
    You can use martingale strategies on your account. However, keep in mind our gambling rule: while high risk-to-reward calculated trades are acceptable and encouraged, risking 3–4% on a single trade using the majority of your margin (usually with no stop loss) is against the rules.

Profit Split

  • Profit Split: your profit split depends on your account type.

    Instant Funded: 80%
    Most other funded accounts: up to 90%

    Specific splits by evaluation model:
    2-Step Standard & Pro: 90%
    1-Step Standard & Pro: up to 90%
    3-Step: 90%
    Guardian X: 85%

    Note: the consistency rule does not apply to 1-Step Pro, 1-Step Standard, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Classic, or 3-Step funded accounts.

Minimum Payout

  • Minimum Payout: the minimum payout amount depends on your withdrawal method.

    $500 – via RiseWorks.io (bank withdrawals)
    $100 – via direct crypto

    Payouts are processed within 1–2 business days. To request a withdrawal, your account must be in profit above the initial balance, with no open trades or orders.

Maximum Payout

  • Maximum Withdrawal: there’s no maximum withdrawal limit. You can withdraw any amount of profit as long as your account is in compliance with the rules, in profit above the initial balance, and all positions are closed.

    The only restriction applies to crypto payouts, which are capped at $2,000 per payout cycle.

Payout Policy

  • Payouts: our standard payout frequency is bi-weekly (every 14 days after your first trade on a funded account).

    You can purchase a 7-day payout add-on at checkout, which allows you to withdraw profits just one week after your first trade, and then every 7 days based on your last withdrawal date.

    Important exception: for Instant Funded accounts, payouts work differently — you can request a payout on demand once you complete the consistency and minimum trading days requirements (not the standard 14-day wait).

Make sure to stay up to date with all current prop firm rules and guidelines.
