Add-ons (available at time of purchase)
Hold Over Weekend (10% Cost) – Point-of-Sale add-on that disables “Flat for Weekend” requirement; this allows traders to keep positions open over the weekend.
- Share of Gains Increased to 90% (20% Cost) – Point-of-Sale add-on that increases a trader’s potential share of the gains for funded accounts to 90% (up from the standard 80%) of the gains.
What is the difference between a Hard Breach and Soft Breach rule?
- Soft breach means that we will close all trades that have violated the rule. However, you can continue trading in your Assessment or Funded Account.
- Hard breach means that you violated either the Daily Loss Limit or Max Trailing Drawdown rule. Both rules constitute a hard breach. In the event you have a hard breach, you will fail the Assessment or have your Funded Account taken away.
There is no Daily Loss limit?
The three-step program does not have a daily loss.
How do you calculate the 5% Max Drawdown?
Maximum drawdown is the maximum your account can drawdown before you would hard breach your account. When you open the account, your Maximum Drawdown is set at 5% of your starting balance. This 8% is static and does not trail.
Do I have to place a stop loss on trades?
No, however we believe sound risk management means using stop losses. To that end, we recommend but do not require a stop loss on every trade.
Can I hold positions over the weekend?
We require all trades to be closed by 3:45pm EST on Friday. Any trades left open after this time will automatically be closed. Note, this is only a soft breach and you will be able to continue trading once the markets reopen. This is an upgrade option available at the time of purchase.
What is 1 lot equal to on the Trading Platform?
- Forex - 1 lot = $100k notional
- Index - 1 lot = 10 contracts
- Cryptos - 1 lot = 1 coin
- Silver - 1 lot = 5,000 ounces
- Gold - 1 lot = 100 ounces
- Oil - 1 lot = 1000 barrels
Is there a breach for inactivity?
Yes. If you do not place a trade at least once every 30 days on your account, we will consider you inactive and your account will be breached.
