Payout rules
Payouts processed via the RISE payout platform (active RISE account required). KYC required before any payout. Challenge fee is refunded after the THIRD payout, not the first (see FirmAbout.description / main_benefits). All requests reviewed by IC Funded Risk Management and Compliance; may be delayed, restricted, or denied for rule violations. Processing time varies by payment method/regional banking; specific SLA not published by the firm.
Trading rules
Rule violations (drawdown breach, prohibited practices, unauthorized automation) may cause automatic termination; Risk Management may also manually review/suspend/terminate for abuse even absent a technical breach - a new challenge may be purchased to restart, subject to approval. EAs/automation permitted only if built and fully controlled by the account holder; third-party/rented/commercial EAs not permitted. VPS/VPN use is permitted, but abnormal connection behavior (frequent IP/location changes, simultaneous multi-country logins, shared VPS/proxy) may trigger a security/risk review. Full forbidden-practices list (verbatim categories from FAQ): arbitrage (latency/hedge/reverse/rollover/gap), pricing-error or delayed-feed exploitation, HFT/tick scalping, copy/mirror/signal trading or coordinated execution, shared IP/VPS/proxy/linked infrastructure, excessive risk-taking/gambling-style/overleveraged trading, artificial trades to satisfy objectives/payouts, unrealistic volume or non-replicable activity, exploit-designed bots/scripts, sudden strategy switching between evaluation and funded stages, single-trade profit dependency, Martingale/grid/recovery-style escalation, account sharing/rented accounts/third-party management, cross-firm hedging/coordinated offsetting, and manipulation of platform infrastructure or APIs.
