We utilize an aggregate source of pricing and liquidity from multiple brokers and liquidity providers. The current liquidity providers use a number of different tier 1
banks, prime brokers, market makers and other liquidity sources to derive their pricing, and those underlying liquidity providers change constantly. Aggregating
liquidity providers while maintaining multiple sources of liquidity allows us to provide competitive pricing and execution, while reducing reliance on a sole liquidity
provider.
All market pricing and trade executions are provided by the brokers, without any alterations or modifications on our part. Moreover, we do not adjust transaction
costs such as bid-offer spreads, markups/markdowns or swaps beyond what is set by our brokers.
Please note that the composition of liquidity providers may vary depending on the trading platform.
A Trading contract and KYC are both required, however to start trading using our Instant Funding Plan, these steps won’t need to be completed until you request

If you fail to pass the KYC process when requesting a withdrawal, the withdrawal will be rejected, your gains forfeited, and your account closed. We strongly
encourage you to ensure you meet KYC requirements before choosing the Instant Funding Plan.
A maximum of $100,000 in active Instant Funding plans per person is permitted.
Trading Rules & Instant Funding FAQs
A Trading contract and KYC are both required, however to start trading using our Instant Funding Plan, these steps won’t need to be completed until you request
a withdrawal.
If you fail to pass the KYC process when requesting a withdrawal, the withdrawal will be rejected, your gains forfeited, and your account closed. We strongly
encourage you to ensure you meet KYC requirements before choosing the Instant Funding Plan.
Upon completion of payment, we provide you with an Instant Funding account, backed by our capital. You will receive an email with instructions on how to access this account on the platform you chose at checkout.
The capital in your Funded Account is notional and may not match the amount of capital on deposit with the Broker. A Funded Account is notionally funded when actual funds in the account (i.e., the equity in a Funded Account represented by the amount of capital) differs from the nominal account size (i.e., the size of the Funded Account that establishes the initial account value and level of trading). Notional funds are the difference between nominal account size and actual capital in a Funded Account.
Use of notional funding does not change the trading level or that the account may trade in any manner differently than if notional funds were not used. In particular, the same conditions and rules applicable to a soft breach, hard breach, Daily Loss Limit, Max Trailing Drawdown and position limits apply.
No. We operate at an arm's length with the Broker. All market pricing and trade executions are provided by the Broker and are not changed or modified by us. Additionally, we do not markup transaction costs established by the Broker through adjusting bid-offer spreads, markups/markdowns, commission charges or swaps.
Traders can request a withdrawal of the profits in their funded account through their trader dashboard at any time. However, withdrawals are limited to one request every 30 days. The minimum withdrawal amount is the greater of $100 or 1% of the account's starting balance. When a withdrawal is approved, we will also withdraw our share of the gains, and your max trailing drawdown will lock in at your starting balance. The trailing drawdown does not reset when you request a withdrawal. Example: You have taken an account from $100,000 to $120,000. You then request a withdrawal of $16,000. In this scenario, you will receive $12,800 and we would retain $3200. This would also take the balance of the account down to $104,000, and your Maximum Trailing Drawdown is locked in at $100,000. So, you would have $4,000 maximum you could lose on the account before it would violate the Maximum Trailing Drawdown rule. If you take a full withdrawal of the gains in your Funded Account, the Maximum Trailing Drawdown will lock in at the starting balance and trigger the Maximum Trailing Drawdown breach rule, resulting in the forfeiture of your Funded Account.
- Soft breach means that we will close all trades that have violated the rule. However, you can continue trading in your Instant Funded Account.
- Hard breach means that you violated the Daily Loss Limit or Max Drawdown rule, or Inactivity rule. These rules constitute a hard breach. In the event you have a hard breach, you will have your Funded Account taken away.
The Daily Loss Limit is the maximum amount your account can lose on any given day. The Daily Loss Limit is calculated using the previous day balance which resets at 5 PM EST. The Daily Loss Limit compounds with the increase in your account. Example: if your prior day's end of day balance (5pm EST) was $100,000, your account would violate the daily stop loss limit if your equity reached $95,000 during the day. If your floating equity is +$5,000 on a $100,000 account, your new- day (5pm EST) max loss is based on your balance from the previous day ($100,000). So, your daily loss limit would still be $95,000.
The Maximum Trailing Drawdown is initially set at 5% and trails (using CLOSED BALANCE - NOT equity) your account until you have achieved a 5% return in your account. Once you have achieved a 5% return, the Maximum Trailing Drawdown no longer trails and is permanently locked in at your starting balance. Example: If your starting balance is $100,000, you can drawdown to $95,000 before you would violate the Maximum Trailing Drawdown rule. Then for example let's say you take your account to $102,000 in CLOSED BALANCE. This is your new high-water mark, which would mean your new Maximum Trailing Drawdown would be $97,000. Next, let's say you take your account to $106,000 in CLOSED BALANCE, which would be your new high-water mark. At this point your Maximum Trailing Drawdown would be locked in at your starting balance of $100,000. So, regardless of how high your account goes, you would only breach this rule if your account drew back down to $100,000 (note, you could still violate the daily drawdown). For example, if you take your account to $170,000, as long as you do not drawdown more than 5% in any given day, you would only breach if your account equity reaches $100,000.
We require all trades to be closed by 3:45 PM EST on the last trading day of the week, typically Friday. However, in cases where markets close early or are not open on a Friday, it is the trader’s responsibility to ensure all trades are closed before the weekend based on the adjusted market schedule. Any trades left open after this time will be automatically closed. Note, this is considered a soft breach, and you will be able to continue trading once the markets reopen.

Yes. If you do not place a trade at least once every 30 days on your account, we will consider you inactive and your account will be breached.
Traders can request a withdrawal of the profits in their funded account through their trader dashboard at any time. However, withdrawals are limited to one
request every 30 days. The minimum withdrawal amount is the greater of $100 or 1% of the account's starting balance. When a withdrawal is approved, we will
also withdraw our share of the gains, and your max trailing drawdown will lock in at your starting balance. The trailing drawdown does not reset when you request
a withdrawal. Example: You have taken an account from $100,000 to $120,000. You then request a withdrawal of $16,000. In this scenario, you will receive
$12,000 and we would retain $4,000. This would also take the balance of the account down to $104,000, and your Maximum Trailing Drawdown is locked in at
$100,000. So, you would have $4,000 maximum you could lose on the account before it would violate the Maximum Trailing Drawdown rule. If you take a full
withdrawal of the gains in your Funded Account, the Maximum Trailing Drawdown will lock in at the starting balance and trigger the Maximum Trailing Drawdown
breach rule, resulting in the forfeiture of your Funded Account.

of our program and is not meant to penalize traders who inadvertently trade through a news event.
●No Gambling Permitted : When participating in trading on both Challenge and Instant Funded Accounts, traders are expected to adhere to responsible risk
management practices. This includes carefully considering the risks associated with position size, trade duration, and hedging strategies. Taking excessive risks,
such as utilizing maximum leverage to open large positions with the hope of reaching profit targets through a single price movement, is strictly prohibited. Please
refer to the Terms and Conditions for the full Prohibition of Gambling Practices language.
● If the Company detects that your trading constitutes Prohibited Trading, your participation in the program will be terminated and may include forfeiture of any
fees paid to the Company. Additionally, and before any Trader shall receive a funded account, the trading activity of the Trader under these Terms and
Conditions shall be reviewed by both the Company and the Liquidity Provider to determine whether such trading activity constitutes Prohibited Trading. In the
case of Prohibited Trading, the Trader shall not receive a funded account.
● Additionally, the Company reserves the right to disallow or block any Trader from participating in the program for any reason, in the Company’s sole and
absolute discretion.

The Daily Loss Limit is the maximum your account can lose in any given day. Daily Loss Limit is calculated using the previous day balance which resets at 5 PM
EST. The Daily Loss limit compounds with the increase in your account.
Example: if your prior day's end of day balance (5pm EST) was $100,000, your account would violate the daily loss limit if your equity reached $95,000 during the
day. If your floating equity is +$5,000 on a $100,000 account, your new- day (5pm EST) max loss is based on your balance from the previous day ($100,000).
So, your daily loss limit would still be $95,000.
For Instant Funding plans that use a Trailing Max Drawdown, the Maximum Trailing Drawdown is initially set at a specific % and trails (using CLOSED BALANCE -
NOT equity) your account until you have achieved a pre-defined % return in your account. Once you have achieved the % return, the Maximum Trailing
Drawdown no longer trails and is permanently locked in at your starting balance.
Example: If your starting balance is $100,000, you can drawdown to $95,000 before you would violate the Maximum Trailing Drawdown rule. Then for example
let's say you take your account to $102,000 in CLOSED BALANCE. This is your new high-water mark, which would mean your new Maximum Trailing Drawdown
would be $97,000. Next, let's say you take your account to $106,000 in CLOSED BALANCE, which would be your new high-water mark. At this point your
Maximum Trailing Drawdown would be locked in at your starting balance of $100,000. So, regardless of how high your account goes, you would only breach this
rule if your account drew back down to $100,000 (note, you can still violate the daily drawdown). For example, if you take your account to $170,000, as long as
you do not drawdown more than 5% in any given day, you would only breach if your account equity reaches $100,000.
Yes. We will consider you inactive and your account will be breached if you do not have any trading activity on your account for 30 consecutive days.

Soft breach means that we will close all trades that have violated the rule. However, you can continue trading in your Funded Account.
● Hard breach means that you violated either the Daily Loss Limit or Max Drawdown rule or the Inactivity rule. Violation of these rules constitute a hard breach. In
the event you have a hard breach, you will have your Funded Account taken away.
Positions can be held over the weekend if the Weekend Hold add-on has been purchased, although only Crypto is available for week
Copy trading is only permitted when all accounts engaged in copy trading are owned by you. Group trading, signal services, passing services, or any other
methods that bypass individual strategy are not allowed. Engaging in trades that mirror or closely align with another trader or group of traders across multiple
accounts is strictly prohibited.
f you have gains in your funded account at the time of a hard breach, you can still request the withdrawal of your portion of those gains.
For example, if you have a $100,000 account and you grow that account to $110,000. Should you then have a hard breach we would close the account. Of the
$10,000 in gains in your funded account, you would be paid your portion thereof.
The maximum position that you may open is generally determined by your available margin.
We reserve the right to increase the margin requirement, limit the max order size or limit the number of open positions you may enter or maintain in the Funded
Account at any time, and to revise in response to market conditions the drawdown levels at which trading in the Funded Account will be halted. We or the liquidity
provider(s) reserve the right to refuse to accept any order
No. We do not have any control over pricing from the liquidity provider(s) or on the executions on your trades.
For purposes of managing risk and minimizing transaction costs, we may offset or negate market risk and act as the direct counterparty to certain trades
initiated in the Account. Such trades are executed at prices provided by arm’s length third parties. This framework is intended to ensure you receive real market
execution on your trades, while simultaneously allowing us to manage risk dynamically by routing existing positions or future orders to third parties for execution
as we deem appropriate. We believe that such real market execution and dynamic risk management would not be possible or as cost-effective if trades were
executed in simulated accounts. Regardless of whether we act as counterparty to your trades, the gain or loss on your funded account is not calculated
differently. However, when we act as the counterparty to your trades, there is an inherent potential conflict of interest because your trades do not result in net
gain or loss to us, as your trades would if we were not the direct counterparty
