Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I break a trading rule?

Breaking a rule may result in disqualification from the program. High-importance rules typically lead to immediate disqualification, while medium and low-importance rules may result in warnings first.

Can rules be modified for my account?

No, trading rules are standardized across all accounts to ensure fairness and consistency in our evaluation process.

How are the rules monitored?

Our proprietary system automatically monitors all trading activity in real-time. Any rule violations are flagged for review by our compliance team.

What if I accidentally break a rule?

We understand that mistakes happen. For minor violations, contact support immediately to explain the situation. However, high-importance rule violations typically cannot be reversed.

Do the same rules apply to funded accounts?

Most rules apply to both evaluation and funded accounts, but some restrictions may be relaxed once you're funded. See the funded account rules section for details.

Can I trade during major news events?

No, trading during high-impact news events is not permitted due to the increased volatility and risk.
