During the account review at the withdrawal stage, should any violations of this rule be identified, we adhere to a rigorous procedure.

Upon the initial instance of violating this rule, Performance bonus acquired through lot sizes exceeding the permissible limit will not be eligible for withdrawal.

Upon the second instance of violating this rule, This will lead to the performance bonus being forfeited and the analysis account being deactivated.


During the assessment completion review & performance fee request, our risk team reviews the full trading history of each account.


Qualifying Categories:

· Consistently losing or risking 3.5-5% in a single trade or sequence of trades closed around the same time.

· All or nothing style approach: example, risking 4% to make 8% (we are looking at the max risk & loss, not the profit made

For clarity, you can risk 2% and make 8% and this would not constitute as all or nothing style approach)

· Excessive max lot / max margin usage

· Gambling through high-impact news (both during assessment & soft breach on qualified accounts)

· Account rolling** (full risk on assessment or qualified accounts to either pass or fail &/or large quantity of accounts passing & failing within a short timeframe. Previous failed accounts are taken into consideration)

** Account rolling: May also lead to a 30-day pause of services to help prevent clients from consistently mistreating our assessment and qualified accounts through not taking a serious approach to risk management and longevity of the account)

Can an account be moved back to Pro leverage?

Yes! After 2 successful performance fees, the account is eligible for a review to be moved back to Pro leverage of up to 1:100.
