Home / Rulebook
Every number the terminal enforces, written out in full. Nothing here is discretionary: together with the participation agreement, this document is the complete set of rules.
100% SIMULATEDvirtual balance only
Two routes, each sold in a Standard or a Pro rule profile. All four combinations are printed below; section 02 explains what separates them. The same figures appear on the plan card and again at checkout, before you pay.
| Route and profile | Target | Max loss | Daily drawdown | Min days | Time limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 StepStandard | 10% | 6% | 4% | 3 | None |
| 1 StepPro | 8% | 5% | 3% | 3 | None |
| 2 StepStandard | 10% → 5% | 10% | 5% | 3 | None |
| 2 StepPro | 8% → 4% | 6% | 3% | 3 | None |
Account sizes run from $10K to $200K — all virtual balances; free launch-offer accounts are $2,500 on 2 Step Pro rules (6% / 3%). Which sizes a route offers is shown in the package selector. Percentages apply to the opening balance of the attempt; the daily drawdown applies to equity at 00:00 UTC.
A profile shifts the limits of the route you picked. On most routes that shift is the same at every account size; on the two-step Pro profile the $100,000 and $200,000 accounts carry a wider daily and total limit than the smaller ones. The figures that apply to your account are printed on the checkout page before you pay.
The wider of the two profiles: a higher profit target, and more room before the maximum loss or the daily drawdown is reached. Rows 1 and 3 of the table above.
A lower profit target, a tighter maximum loss and a tighter daily drawdown than Standard on both routes, for a lower fee than Standard at every size — the amount charged is the one printed on the plan card.
Most disputes in this industry come from vague definitions. Here is ours, in the same words the engine uses.
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.
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.
Measured on equity, including floating profit. When equity reaches the target and the minimum trading days are met, the engine closes every open position and the phase completes.
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, for a short period before and after events flagged high-impact on the economic calendar you can neither open nor close a position on the affected instruments, and stop-loss and take-profit do not execute either; the exact window is shown in the terminal. A US-dollar event affects every instrument; an event in any other currency affects the instruments quoted in it. An open position simply stays open through the window. Once the window ends, orders execute again at the price prevailing then — which, for a level crossed during the window, can be worse than the level you set. Margin stop-out is the one exception: it still applies inside the window, because it protects the account rather than carrying an instruction from you.
A breach ends the attempt. The check is mechanical — the engine either measured a crossing or it did not — but any breach can be reviewed by a person on request, under the complaints and appeals process.
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.
These exist because they exploit the simulation rather than demonstrate a process — the thing the assessment is meant to measure.
| 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 systems | Systems whose risk grows on losing streaks breach limits by design and produce no process signal. |
| Stops placed to beat the minimum hold | A stop-loss or take-profit set at or right next to the entry price, so that the position closes within seconds, tests simulated fill behaviour rather than market decisions. |
Expert advisors, automated trading tools and trade copiers are not supported: the terminal has no way to connect them, and every order is placed by you.
When equity reaches the published target and the minimum trading days are met without any limit being crossed, the phase is complete and open positions are closed. Review is automatic and runs on the same tick data as enforcement.
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. The balance is set to the new capital, so profit not yet paid out does not carry over — request a reward first. 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.
