Consistency rules

Consistency Rules

  • 40% Rule: No more than 40% of total profit can come from the single “best trading day.”

  • Large one-day spikes in PnL may cause payout delays or additional reviews.

  • Consistency metrics may reset after partial withdrawals.

  • Trading must exhibit stable risk patterns (no sudden, massive lot-size increases).

  • Attempts to “overshoot” profit targets with risky late-stage trading may be flagged


Firm rules

Account Rules

  • Accounts may be simulated during challenges and funded stages.

  • Accounts can be deactivated after 30 days of inactivity.

  • Re-activation after inactivity is not always guaranteed.

  • Traders must be the only operators of their account — no shared usage.

  • VPN/VPS is allowed, but all trades must be executed by the verified trader only.

Trading Restrictions

  • No arbitrage (latency, gap, or statistical arbitrage).

  • No HFT (high-frequency trading) or order spamming.

  • No copy trading between multiple Alpha accounts.

  • No group trading (multiple traders using one strategy simultaneously across several accounts).

  • No all-or-nothing strategies (over-leveraged one-shot trades).

  • Strategies exploiting platform latency or price feed delays are prohibited.

  • Minimum trade duration: average trade length > 2 minutes.

  • At least 50% of total profit must come from trades held for ≥ 2 minutes. News Trading

  • Evaluation accounts: No news restrictions — traders may open and close trades during major economic releases.

  • Swing accounts: Trades opened within ±2 minutes of a news release must be held for at least 2 minutes, otherwise the profit from those trades may be disqualified.

  • Alpha Pro and funded programs: Opening or closing trades within 2 minutes before or 2 minutes after a major news event is not allowed. Such trades are considered a soft breach and their profits are removed.

  • Alpha One / Alpha Three: A wider restriction window applies — 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after scheduled news releases. .

Payout policy

Payout Rules

  • Minimum required profit for payout request: typically around 2% net profit.

  • Payouts can be on-demand, but consistency rules must be met.

  • Profit splits vary by program (often up to 80%).

  • With partial payouts, a new “consistency window” begins.
