Once traders reach the funded phase, certain rules are in place to encourage disciplined and sustainable trading. Below is a list of key rules all traders must follow to maintain their funded account and continue receiving payouts.
Best Day Rule
To be eligible for a payout, no single trading day can represent more than 30% of your total profits.
This rule does not breach your account if exceeded, but it will delay your payout until your profit distribution becomes more balanced.
Trying to bypass the Best Day rule by intentionally splitting a large winning position, either by hedging or closing parts of it separately, is not allowed. In such cases, the entire profit from that trade may be counted as if it was closed on a single day.
3% Rule
To manage risk effectively in the funded phase, traders must not lose more than 3% of their account balance in a single trade.
Single Trade Limit: 3% of your initial funded account balance
Splitting trades into multiple positions does not bypass this rule — they are counted as one trade.
Violating this rule is a hard breach and will lead to account termination.
Example:
On a $100,000 account, the maximum loss allowed on any single trade is $3,000.
Payout Threshold Rule
To be eligible for a payout, your share of the net profit must exceed 20% of your daily drawdown limit.
Example:
If you’re trading a $100,000 account with a 4% daily drawdown, the minimum profit required for a payout is greater than $800—so you’d need at least $801.
This rule ensures that payouts come from solid performance, encouraging traders to aim for quality over quantity—because long-term success is built on disciplined execution.
Drawdown Rules
Drawdown limits are enforced in the funded phase, just as they were during the challenge.
You must respect both daily and maximum drawdown rules at all times.
Breaching these limits results in an immediate loss of the funded account.
