Keep every trade open 60 seconds
Open a trade, then wait at least 60 seconds before you close it. 80 seconds is fine. 40 seconds breaks the rule.
Trading rules
Three rules. Your limits. Total freedom.
Clear, transparent rules with no hidden rules. A short list of things to follow — and everything else is yours to trade.
The rules
Rules you follow
Three can breach your account. One is just a requirement to complete before payout.
One trade can make max 25% of your target
Your target is the profit you need. If your target is $1,000, one trade can make up to $250.
We check this only when you close the trade.
One trade can lose max 2% of your account
There is no limit on profit. Only on loss. On a $5,000 account, one trade can lose up to $100.
We check this only when you close the trade. An open trade that is down 3% is safe.
Trade on a few days before you withdraw
Only for 1-Step and 2-Step. Place one trade on any 3 days. They do not need to be together.
This rule can never breach your account. Cobra Venom and Premium Instant need zero days.
Loss limits
Your drawdown limits
The standard loss limits every funded account has. Both are equity-based — open trades count too.
Daily drawdown
4% – 8%
Resets each day from your starting balance. 4% on Instant & 1-Step, 8% on 2-Step. Cross it and the account breaches.
Example: a $10,000 account with a 4% daily limit can be down up to $400 in a single day.
Maximum loss
6% – 12%
The hard floor from your starting balance — it never resets. 6% on Instant & 1-Step, 12% on 2-Step.
Example: a $10,000 account with a 6% max loss can never let equity fall below $9,400.
Measured on equity, so floating profit and loss count — cross either line even for a second and the account breaches.

FAQ
Common questions
Do Instant accounts have minimum trading days?
No. Cobra Venom and Premium Instant have zero minimum days — only 1-Step and 2-Step evaluations need a few active trading days before payout.
Is drawdown on balance or equity?
Equity. Open trades count, so floating profit and loss affect your breach status in real time.
Is the 25% cap on account size or target?
Your profit or withdrawal target — not account size. A $1,000 target means $250 max from any single trade.
Can I trade news and hold over weekends?
Yes, both are allowed. Drawdown limits still apply, and weekend gaps count toward equity.
Do you have a consistency rule?
No. One trade can be your whole result, as long as it stays under the 25% single-trade cap.
What does “max risk per trade — 2%” actually mean?
The most you can lose on one trade is 2% of your account. On a $5,000 account that is $100. Lose more than that on a single trade and the account breaches. It only limits losses — there is no cap on what a winning trade can make.
Do I have to set a stop loss?
No. We measure the loss when the trade closes, however it closes. A stop loss is just the easiest way to guarantee you stay inside the limit.
What if my stop loss gets skipped in fast news?
You are safe. If the market gaps past your stop and fills you at a worse price, we count the price you set, not the price the gap gave you. You are never breached for slippage you did not control.
Does the 2% apply while the trade is open?
No. Only when it closes. A trade going 3% underwater mid-way does not breach you — we never close your trade for you. Your daily and max drawdown limits still apply as normal.
Is the 2% of my balance or my target?
Your account balance. $500 account → $10. $5,000 → $100. $9,000 → $180. (The separate 25% profit cap is measured on your target, not balance.)
Are bots or copy trading allowed?
Trading must be placed manually. Automated bots, EAs, and copy trading are reviewed before payout.
What happens when an account breaches?
The account status becomes breached, open positions are closed, and further trading is stopped.
Every rule that can breach your account is on this page. No hidden rules, no surprises at payout.
Exact drawdown and target numbers for each account are shown on the accounts page.
