Rules explained

Exact numbers differ by plan. Each plan's rules page lists them, and the rules on an account are frozen when you buy it.

Profit target

You pass when your closed balance reaches the target and you hold no open positions. Open profit does not count until you close it.

Daily loss limit

Measured from your equity at 00:00 UTC, including open profit and loss. If equity touches the daily floor at any moment, the account is breached. The terminal shows the room left above the floor in the account bar.

Maximum loss

A fixed floor below the starting balance. It does not trail your profit. Touching it ends the account.

Minimum hold

A trade closed sooner than the minimum hold keeps its loss but loses its profit. Stop-loss and take-profit fills count as closes; force-closes by the platform do not.

Consistency (best day)

Some plans cap how much of your total profit can come from your single best day. The account page shows each day's share.

Lot caps and leverage

Open plus pending lots are capped per instrument category (metals, forex, indices, energy, crypto). Leverage is set per category; you can lower it on the account page.

News windows

Around high-impact releases, profit on trades opened or closed inside the window is removed, unless the position was opened well before the window (the swing exemption on the rules page). The terminal shows upcoming windows for the selected symbol and a banner while one is active.

Prohibited strategies

Hedging across accounts, copy trading, latency arbitrage, tick scalping under the hold rule, all-in gambling, news straddling and opposite positions on the same symbol are not allowed. See the full list on any rules page.
