Notes

One-phase evaluation. Homepage plan table: Goal 10%, Daily Draw-Down Limit 3%, Overall DD Limit 6%, 'Consitensy Score' No. /faq/1-step-challenge/ states the same 10% target, a 3% daily loss limit on the higher of starting equity or balance resetting 00:00 UTC, and a 6% maximum loss limit against initial account size. Reward split 80%, requestable every 14 days after the first trade; minimum payout 1% of initial balance. Minimum trading days conflict (1 vs 3), left null.

On demandNo
ConsistencyInstant Account only: a minimum Consistency Score of 85%, meaning the largest winning day cannot contribute more than 15% of total cumulative profit. Not stated for the 1-Step, 2-Step or 2-Step Swing funded accounts.

The firm publishes no withdrawal METHOD anywhere on its public site: the only payment article (/faq/payment-method/) covers how you PAY for an evaluation (Credit Card, Cryptocurrency), not how you are paid out, so payout_methods is recorded as not published rather than assumed. min_withdrawal is not published as a dollar figure either: the rule is expressed only as a percentage (1% of the initial balance), which differs per account size, and per the never-guess rule it has not been multiplied out. No processing-time SLA is published for payouts. fee_refunded_on_first_payout is left null: Terms clause 7.6(b) refers to a trader who has 'not previously received a refund of their Challenge Fee in earlier payouts', which implies the fee can be refunded through payouts but never states it as a rule or names the payout it applies to.

Challenge time limitNone. Terms clauses 6.4 and 6.11 state the simulated trading challenge and the Verification each last for unlimited days from activation. Access is suspended if a purchased challenge is not activated within 30 days of payment, with a six-month window to request renewal.
Stop lossNot required
Inactivity ruleNone once trading has begun: the 1-Step and 2-Step articles both state there is no inactivity rule. A purchased but unactivated challenge is suspended after 30 days from payment.

Three permission booleans are deliberately null rather than guessed. ea_automation_allowed: the site never permits or bans expert advisors as such; Terms clause 5.4(e) only bans software or artificial intelligence used to manipulate or abuse the system or confer an unfair advantage, which is a scoped abuse clause, not a blanket automation ban. hedging_allowed: no general rule is published; clause 5.4(c) bans placing opposite positions simultaneously only where done to manipulate trading circumstances, alone or in collaboration with others. scalping_allowed: only Tick Scalping and HFT are named as prohibited. reset_allowed and reset_fee: the site publishes no reset or retry product anywhere, so no reset policy is asserted. Other verified rules: a 500ms execution delay is applied equally to all traders at all times to prevent latency arbitrage; a breach places the account in view-only mode with all positions closed and pending orders cancelled; a breached account is ineligible for rewards and simulated profits are voided; VPN use is permitted but not to conceal location or evade compliance; the minimum age is 18. Order confirmation arrives by email within 1 hour of purchase and account credentials within a few hours, in some cases up to 24 hours. Leverage detail: the homepage 'up to 1:100' claim is reached only on 2-Step forex. Funded drawdown detail: the Instant Account 5% Maximum Trailing Loss Limit is measured from the highest recorded equity, locks and stops trailing once the account is up 5%, and does not reset after payouts; the 1% Maximum Risk Limit is a floating drawdown.
