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.

Please note that violations are assessed per position, not per trade idea. Therefore, a sequence of trades can result in multiple violations of this rule. For example, if the maximum lot limit for an account is 10 lots, a single trade of 11 lots followed by another trade of 1 lot, while the first trade remains open, will result in two breach counts and the account's closure.


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

· 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 two successful performance fee payouts, your account becomes eligible for a review to return to Pro leverage (up to 1:100).*

Please note that this is not an automatic process, but a discretionary review conducted by our Risk team. If you meet the criteria below, you may request the review by contacting [email protected]:

• Initial Starting Balance: The account must be at its original starting balance.**

• No Open Positions: All trades must be closed at the time of the request.

Please allow up to 48 hours from the time of your request for a response to be communicated.

Kindly note that each review request applies only to the specific account submitted. If you manage multiple accounts, a separate request must be submitted for each one.

* For On-Demand payout type, we require 30 calendar days of trading data. If two successful performance fee payouts occur in less than 30 days, the review still cannot be conducted

** One accounts are not required to follow this rule due to their trailing maximum drawdown

Can an account be scaled or merged?

No, accounts under the risk management group need to be moved back to normal leverage before being able to participate in our scaling plan or get merged.


Please note that we hold the right to impose further restrictions should we deem it necessary. Should these further restrictions apply to your accounts, you will be specifically emailed about them. These restrictions include, but are not limited to:

  • Single Position Limit: The maximum allowable risk for any single position is 1% of your initial balance. This holds true even when trading multiple entries on the same symbol, where the cumulative risk must not exceed 1%

  • Reduced Leverage: We are adjusting your account leverage to 1:30 when the account is re-enabled for trading. This same margin requirement applies to different symbols where you're opening new trades

  • Cooling-Off Period: If you incur a loss of 1% on a specific symbol, you must wait a minimum of one hour before opening a new trade on that symbol
