Best Trade Rule

How your single best trade is measured on Supernova, Hypernova, and Ultranova.

The Short Answer

No single trade can represent more than a set percentage of your total profit at the end of your session. On Supernova and Hypernova that limit is 15%. On Ultranova it's 25%. This rule makes sure your result is built on consistent execution across several trades, not one oversized winner.

Unlike the Best Day Rule used on other programs, the Best Trade Rule is checked per individual trade, not per trading day. it also applies only to our timed instant funding products: Supernova, Hypernova, and Ultranova.


Why It Works This Way

These three products run on a single fixed session, not on days. Supernova gives you 24 hours, Hypernova 4 hours, and Ultranova 1 hour. Because the whole session can be shorter than a single trading day, measuring your "best day" wouldn't make sense. so instead of looking at your best day, we look at your best single trade.

The idea behind it is the same as the Best Day Rule. we want to see a methodology that can perform repeatedly, not a one-time spike that happened to land. a trader who hits the target across several solid trades is showing skill. a trader who hits it on one lucky position is showing something else.


How It Works

When your session ends, we look at every trade you closed. We take your single most profitable trade and divide it by your total profit:

Best Trade % = (Your most profitable trade / Your total profit) Γ— 100

If that number is above your product's limit, the Best Trade Rule is not met. on Supernova and Hypernova the line is 15%. on Ultranova it's 25%.


Example 1: Rule Respected (15% limit, Hypernova)

You finish a $10,000 Hypernova account with $200 profit, which is the 2% target. With a 15% limit, your best single trade can make at most $30.

Your best trade is $28, which is 14% of your total profit. Under 15%. The rule is met.


Example 2: Rule Not Met (15% limit, Hypernova)

Same $10,000 account, same $200 profit. but this time one trade carried most of the result.

Your best trade is $60, which is 30% of your total profit. That's double the 15% limit, so the rule is not met.


Example 3: Ultranova (25% limit)

Ultranova gives more room because the window is only 1 hour. You finish a $10,000 account with $200 profit. With a 25% limit, your best trade can make up to $50.

If your best trade made $45, that's 22.5% of your total. Under 25%, so the rule is met. If it made $80, that's 40% of your total, which is over the line.


What This Means for Your Trades

Because of the limit, you can't pass on one or two big trades alone. you need several meaningful winners that each carry part of the result.

A simple way to think about it: with a 15% limit you need roughly 7 or more solid winning trades to spread the profit out enough. with the 25% limit on Ultranova you need fewer, but you still can't rely on a single trade for most of your profit. plan your session so your gains are distributed, not concentrated.


What Is NOT Allowed

Trying to make one large trade look like several smaller ones to get around the rule is not permitted, and it may result in partial payout, payout denial, or account suspension. This includes:

Splitting one winning trade idea into multiple partial closures to reduce the size of your best trade.

Placing small filler trades only to inflate your trade count or shrink the best trade percentage.

Hedging to control how and when profit is realized across positions.

Splitting the same trade idea into separate tickets or entries to spread one result across several trades.

Closing and reopening the same position only to make one trade idea appear as several independent trades.

If we detect this, the related trades may be evaluated as a single transaction for the purpose of the Best Trade Rule.


Where Does It Apply

The Best Trade Rule applies only to Supernova, Hypernova, and Ultranova. it is checked at the end of your session, before your payout is generated. Other programs use the Best Day Rule instead, which measures your best trading day rather than your best trade. For exact percentages, always refer to your specific program's rules.


Common Questions

Does the Best Trade Rule breach my account? No. it is checked at the end of your session as a payout condition. it does not close your account mid-session. but if it isn't met when your session ends, you won't be eligible for the payout on that account.

What's the limit on each product? 15% on Supernova and Hypernova. 25% on Ultranova.

How is it different from the Best Day Rule? The Best Day Rule looks at your most profitable trading day as a share of total profit. The Best Trade Rule looks at your single most profitable trade. these timed products use trades because a full session can be shorter than one day.

Why do i need so many trades? Because no single trade can carry most of your profit. spreading your result across several winners is exactly what the rule is designed to encourage.

Can i fix it after my session ends? No. unlike the Best Day Rule, where you can keep trading across more days to balance the ratio, these are fixed single-session products. once the timer expires, your result is final. plan your trade distribution during the session, not after.
