Everything you need to know about our forex funding accounts, prop trading rules, and affiliate programs.
You must generate at least 3% profit on your initial account size before you can request a reward.
Example: For a $100,000 account, the minimum profit required is $3,000.
When you reach the 3% profit threshold, the overall trailing drawdown is locked at the initial account size (the “base”).
Before 3% Profit: The trailing drawdown follows your highest recorded balance.
After 3% Profit: The trailing drawdown no longer increases and is fixed at your starting balance. This means your maximum loss allowed is now calculated from the initial balance, not your highest balance.
50% Buffer Rule: You are required to keep at least 50% of your profits in the account as a risk buffer.
Reward Split: You can withdraw the remaining 50% of your profits at a 100% reward rate (i.e., you keep 100% of what you withdraw).
Practical Examples
Example 1: First Reward
Account Size: $100,000
Profit Generated: $4,000 (4% of account size)
Trailing Drawdown Lock: Upon hitting 3% profit, the trailing drawdown is locked at $100,000.
Total Profits Available: $4,000
Buffer Requirement (50%): $2,000 must remain in the account.
Maximum Withdrawable Amount (other 50%): $2,000 (Withdrawn)
Post-Withdrawal Balance: $102,000
Drawdown Limit: $100,000
Drawdown Room: $2,000
Example 2: Second Reward After More Profits
Let’s say you earn additional profits after your first withdrawal.
Account Size: $100,000
Previous Balance (after 1st withdrawal): $102,000
New Profit Generated: $3,000
Current Balance: $102,000 + $3,000 = $105,000
Total Profits Since Available: $5,000
Buffer Requirement (50%): $2,500
Maximum Withdrawable Amount (other 50%): $2,500 (Withdrawn)
Post-Withdrawal Balance: $102,500
Drawdown Limit: $100,000
Drawdown Room: $2,500
The maximum allocation per member is $100,000 for Instant Funding Plus Accounts.

The Maximum Daily Drawdown Limit is 3% of the Initial Balance.
Example 1:
For a $100,000 1-Step Nitro X Evaluation, the Daily Drawdown is 3% of the Initial Balance.
Day 1:
Starting Balance/Equity: $100,000
Allowed Daily Drawdown: 3% of $100,000 = $3,000 (stop-out limit = $97,000)
Example 2:
Day 2:
End of Day Balance (Day 1): $104,000
End of Day Equity (Day 1): $103,000
At 5 PM EST, if unrealised positions are open, then 3% of Initial balance will be deducted from the higher of the two. In Example 2 Day 2 above, since balance is higher than Equity, the stop out limit will become ($104,000 – (3% of 100,000)) = $104,000 – $3,000 = $101,000
If Either Equity or Balance reaches $101,000, it would result in a breach of the Daily Drawdown Limit.
Example 3:
Day 3:
End of Day Balance (Day 2): $101,000
End of Day Equity (Day 2): $106,000
In Example 3 above, since Equity is higher than Balance, the stop-out limit will become:
$106,000 – (3% of $100,000) = $106,000 – $3,000 = $103,000
Since the Balance of $101,000 is lower than the limit of $103,000, this will cause an immediate breach of the Daily Drawdown Limit.
The Instant Funding Account has a fixed Daily Drawdown Limit of 3%, based on the initial balance.
Example 1:
Account Size: $100,000
Daily Drawdown Limit: $3,000
Day 1:
Starting Balance/Equity: $100,000
Daily Drawdown: $3,000
Stop-Out Limit: $97,000 ($100,000 – $3,000)
Day 2:
Starting Balance/Equity: $106,000
Daily Drawdown: $3,000
Stop-Out Limit: $103,000
Example 2:
End of Day 1 Balance: $105,000
End of Day 1 Equity: $103,000
Daily Drawdown Limit: $3,000
At 5 PM EST, if unrealised positions are open, then 3% of Initial balance will be deducted from the higher of the two. In Example 2 above since balance is higher than Equity, the stop out limit will become ($105,000 – (3% of 100,000)) = $105,000 – $3,000 = $102,000
If Either Balance Or Equity reaches the limit of $102,000, it would breach the Daily Drawdown Limit (In example 2 above, a further $1,000 loss in Equity would breach the Limit)
Example 3:
Day 3:
End of Day Balance (Day 2): $101,000
End of Day Equity (Day 2): $106,000
In Example 3 above, since Equity is higher than Balance, the stop-out limit will become:
$106,000 – (3% of $100,000) = $106,000 – $3,000 = $103,000
Since the Balance of $101,000 is lower than the limit of $103,000, this will cause an immediate breach of the Daily Drawdown Limit.
The Overall Drawdown Limit for 2-Step Plus is 10% and remains fixed to the initial balance throughout the account.
Example:
Account Size: $100,000
Overall Drawdown Limit: 10%
Day 1:
Starting Balance/Equity: $100,000
Overall Drawdown: $10,000
Stop-Out Limit: $90,000 ($100,000 – $10,000)
Day 2:
Starting Balance/Equity: $104,000
Overall Drawdown: $10,000
Stop-Out Limit: $90,000 ($100,000 – $10,000)
The maximum allocation per trader is $100,000 for Instant Funding Pro Accounts.
