  • If your Simulated Funded account with Funded Trader Markets is in profit but has been violated, you may still be eligible for a withdrawal with 50% split if the following conditions are met:

    Stop Loss Placement: An SL was placed on all trades.
    Loss Limitation: No single trade resulted in a loss greater than 1% of the initial account balance.

    Note: This applies to only Evaluation Simulated Funded Accounts and not to Simulated Instant Funded Accounts

  • The Maximum Daily Drawdown Limit is 3% of the Initial Balance.

    Example 1:
    For a $100,000 Instant Pro Account 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.

  • There’s a consistency rule for Instant Funding Accounts.

    Why this Rule?

    Funded Trader Markets’ Consistency Rule promotes steady profit growth and helps traders avoid emotional trading

    Important Details About the Consistency Rule For Instant Funding Accounts

    In an Instant Simulated Funding Account; you should not have made more than 15% of the total profit in one day.

    If a single day’s profit is more than 15% of your total profit in the Instant Funding Account , you will have to continue trading until there isn’t a day with more than 15%.

    Calculation

    [Best Day % of Total Profit] = [Best Day Profit] ÷ [Overall Profit] * 100

    Best Day Profit means the highest single day profit.

    Single Day’s Profit = Balance at 5pm est Today – Balance at 5pm est Yesterday

    Example (Instant Funding Account)

    If you made a total profit of $10,000 on an Instant Funding Account,

    To be eligible for withdrawal, there should not have been a single day with more than 15% of $10,000 (= $1,500).

    If there is a single day with more than 15% of total profit, then you have to keep on trading until the best day profit is less than 15% of the total profit.

  • In our programs, hedging is permitted when conducted within the confines of a single account. However, hedging across separate accounts, termed opposite account hedging, is prohibited.

    Allowed: Hedging
    Executing the following actions within the same account (Account 1):
    Buying EURUSD (Account 1)
    Selling EURUSD (Account 1)

    Not Allowed: Opposite Account Hedging
    Performing the following actions across distinct accounts (Account 1 and Account 2):
    Buying GBPUSD in one account (Account 1)
    Selling GBPUSD in another account (Account 2)

    In the example above, GBPUSD buy in Account 1 and sell in Account 2 must not overlap at any given point in time.

    A violation of this restriction during the challenge phase on any of our accounts will lead to an upgrade denial and on any of our simulated funded or instant funded account will lead to a total reward rejection alongside contract termination on all affected accounts.

    Not Allowed: Overnight Hedging
    While hedging is permitted, holding hedged positions overnight is not allowed on Instant Funded Accounts and any of the Evaluation Simulated Funded Accounts.

    This restriction will not result in account termination; however, any profits generated from overnight hedged positions—particularly those intended solely to meet the consistency score requirement—will not be counted toward the performance reward.
