Rulebook — FundedPortal

01 Routes

Two routes, one rulebook

Figures below are for the Standard profile. Choosing Pro tightens them, as described in section 02; the exact figures are on the plan card.

Assessment routes and their limits
Route	Phases	Target	Max loss	Daily drawdown	Min days	Time limit
1 Step	1	10%	6%	3%	3	None
2 Step	2	10% → 5%	10%	5%	4	None

Account sizes run from $5K to $200K — all virtual balances. Which sizes a route offers is shown in the package selector. Percentages apply to the opening balance of the attempt.

02 Rule profiles

Standard or Pro

A profile shifts the limits of the route you picked. Within a route the shift is the same for every account size.

StandardBaseline

Balanced limits

The figures printed in section 01, unchanged.

ProLower target

Reach the target sooner, with less room

A lower profit target and a tighter maximum loss than Standard on both routes; on 2 Step the daily drawdown is tighter too. Pro carries its own fee — on one route higher than Standard, on the other lower — and the amount charged is the one printed on the plan card.

What you pay The fee shown on the plan card is the fee charged at checkout, and it is the only amount at risk. It is displayed in full before payment.

03 Definitions

How each limit is measured

Most disputes in this industry come from vague definitions. Here is ours, in the same words the engine uses.

Max lossPer tick

A fixed floor under the opening balance

Measured on equity, including floating profit and loss, against the opening balance of the attempt. It does not trail your highest balance. Checked on every price tick — a position that would cross the floor is closed by the engine.

Daily drawdown00:00 UTC

Anchored to the server day

Calculated from your equity at 00:00 UTC. The anchor resets daily; unused room does not carry over. Also checked on every tick, on equity rather than closed balance.

Profit targetClosed only

Reached on closed positions

Floating profit does not complete a phase. The target is met when closed results reach the published percentage of the opening balance.

News windowMaster stage only

No new positions around flagged events

This is not an assessment limit: during the assessment phases there is no news restriction. It applies on the master-stage account, and only where the plan sets it. Where it does, new positions are blocked for a short period before and after events flagged high-impact on the economic calendar; the exact window is shown in the terminal. Positions already open may be managed and closed as normal.

Worked example · 2 Step / Standard · $10,000 virtual

Phase 1 target — closed results reach $11,000 (10%).
Max loss floor — equity may not touch $9,000 (10% of the opening balance).
Daily floor — if equity at 00:00 UTC was $10,200, today's floor is $9,690 (5% of $10,200).
Minimum trading days — 4: the phase does not complete before four days on which a position was opened or closed. On a 1 Step route the figure is 3; the figure that applies to your plan is printed on the plan card.

04 Breaches

What happens when a limit is hit

A breach ends the attempt. On the numbers there is nothing to appeal: the engine either measured a crossing or it did not, and that check is mechanical.

What people review is integrity, not the numbers. Completed and breached attempts alike are checked for identity and duplicate accounts, opposite or hedged positions across accounts, exploitation of a pricing or platform error, and the other practices listed in section 05. Where that review finds one, the result is void and any eligibility with it — under the participation agreement, and with the evidence shown to you.

The order is blocked or the position closed. Enforcement happens as the breach occurs, not in a nightly audit.
The attempt is marked closed. Your dashboard shows the exact tick, the limit involved and the equity at that moment.
The account becomes read-only. History stays available so you can review the sequence that led there.
A new attempt requires a new fee. Nothing carries over from a closed attempt.

Technical failures are not breaches If a platform fault, feed gap or pricing error causes the crossing, the attempt is restored. Report it through Contact with the time and instrument; the server-side tick log is the reference.

05 Prohibited practices

What ends an attempt regardless of the numbers

These exist because they exploit the simulation rather than demonstrate a process — the thing the assessment is meant to measure.

Prohibited practices and why
Practice	Why it is not allowed
Latency arbitrage	Trading on a faster feed than the simulation's own quotes measures the plumbing, not the plan.
Coordinated opposite positions	Hedging the same instrument across accounts converts the fee into a coin flip on the limits.
Reliance on quote errors	Profit produced by a mispriced tick is a fault report, not a result.
Account sharing or copy services	The assessment evaluates one participant's decisions. Third-party signal copying voids it.
Grid or martingale automation	Systems whose risk grows on losing streaks breach limits by design and produce no process signal.
Tick-scalping under one second	Holding times below one second test simulated fill behaviour rather than market decisions.

Automated tools and expert advisors are allowed within these limits. The line is not “human or machine” — it is whether the method engages the market or the simulation.

06 Platform & execution

What the terminal does

Quotes come from live market data; fills are produced by the simulation.
Instruments: FX majors, minors and crosses, metals, indices, energies and large-cap crypto CFDs — 60 across those classes. The full list is in the terminal.
Leverage is fixed per instrument class and shown on the order ticket.
Weekend and rollover: positions may be held; swap-equivalent adjustments are simulated and visible in the account history.
Order types: market, limit, stop, plus stop-loss and take-profit on open positions.
Telemetry: the risk panel shows the same figures the engine evaluates, updated per tick.

The assessment panel illustration: simulated chart with the max-loss floor marked, target and drawdown rings, and the printed-rules badge.

07 Progression

Passing a phase

When closed results reach the published target without any limit being crossed, the phase is complete. Review is automatic and runs on the same tick data as enforcement.

2 Step: Phase 1 (10%) → Phase 2 (5%) → next programme stage.
1 Step: one phase (10%) → next programme stage.

Scaling the programme stage

Where a plan defines scaling stages, a programme-stage account can move up a capital tier. A stage opens when three things hold together: profit measured on the current capital reaches that stage's target, the required number of rewards has actually been paid, and the required number of days has passed in the current stage — counted from the last increase, or from the day the account reached the programme stage if there has not been one.

Qualifying is detected automatically and shown on the scaling screen in your panel. The increase itself is not automatic: it is applied after review, because a larger balance is a commitment we make deliberately rather than overnight. When it is applied, the capital rises by that stage's percentage and every limit is re-based on the new figure — profit target, maximum-loss floor and the daily anchor all move with it, so a scaled account never starts in breach. Where a plan defines no stages, the screen says so.

The terms of the programme stage — including its own limits and conditions — are set out in the participation agreement you accept before payment. That agreement, together with this rulebook, is the complete set of terms; nothing is promised outside them.

This page describes the rules in plain language. The binding version is the agreement you accept before an assessment begins; where the two differ, the agreement governs.

08 Glossary

Terms used on this site

Virtual balance: The simulated capital assigned to an attempt. It is not deposited, withdrawable or owned by the participant.
Attempt: One purchased run of a route, with its limits locked at checkout.
Equity: Balance plus floating profit and loss — the figure both loss limits are measured on.

Server day: The 24 hours starting at 00:00 UTC, used as the daily drawdown anchor.
Programme stage: The stage entered after evaluation, still in the simulated environment, governed by the participation agreement.
Flagged event: A calendar release marked high-impact, around which the news window applies.
