The Short Answer
Your single best trade can't make up too much of your total profit. Picture your total profit as a pie: no one trade is allowed to be a bigger slice than the limit for your product.
Supernova & Hypernova: 15%. Ultranova: 25%.
In plain terms: hitting your profit target on one lucky trade will not pass. Your profit has to come from several trades. The rule is checked once, at the very end of your session, as a condition for payout. It never closes your account mid-session, and it applies only to our timed instant-funding products: Supernova, Hypernova, and Ultranova.
How It's Measured
At the end of your session we take your single most profitable trade and compare it to your total profit:
Best Trade % = (your most profitable trade ÷ your total profit) × 100
If that number is at or below your product's limit, the rule is met. If it's above the limit, it isn't.
Two things worth knowing:
Total profit is your net result at the end of the session — every winning trade minus every losing trade. Losses shrink your total profit, which makes your best trade a bigger slice of what's left, so they can quietly push you over the line.
One trade means one trade idea. All positions on the same instrument in the same direction — including partial entries and partial closes — are counted together as a single trade. You cannot split one big winner into smaller tickets to shrink the number.
The Quick Self-Check
Want to know how many winners you need before you start? Divide 100% by your limit. That's roughly the minimum number of similar-sized winning trades required to spread your profit thinly enough:
Product | Limit | Rough minimum winners |
Supernova / Hypernova | 15% | 100 ÷ 15 ≈ 7 |
Ultranova | 25% | 100 ÷ 25 = 4 |
This assumes your winners are similar in size. If one winner is much bigger than the rest, you'll need even more trades to balance it out. Keep in mind this is only about profit distribution — you also have to hit your profit target and meet your product's minimum trade count (7 on Supernova and Hypernova, 5 on Ultranova).
Worked Examples
Example 1 — Rule met (Hypernova, 15% limit)
You finish a $10,000 Hypernova account with $200 profit (the 2% target). With a 15% limit, your best single trade can be worth at most $30. Here your profit is spread across seven similar winners:
Trade | Profit | % of total |
Best trade | +$29 | 14.5% |
6 other winners combined | +$171 | — |
Total | +$200 | — |
Your biggest win is $29 — that's 14.5% of your total profit. Under 15%, so the rule is met. ✅
Example 2 — Rule not met (Hypernova, 15% limit)
Same $10,000 account, same $200 profit — but this time one trade carried most of the result.
Trade | Profit | % of total |
Best trade | +$60 | 30.0% |
Other trades combined | +$140 | — |
Total | +$200 | — |
Your biggest win is $60 — that's 30% of your total profit, double the 15% limit. You hit the profit target, but the rule is not met, so no payout on this account. ❌
Example 3 — Ultranova (25% limit)
Ultranova gives more room because the window is only 1 hour. On a $10,000 account finishing with $200 profit (the 2% target), your best trade can be worth up to $50.
A best trade of $45 is 22.5% of your total — under 25%, so the rule is met. ✅ A best trade of $80 is 40% of your total — over the line, so it isn't. ❌
What This Means for How You Trade
You can't pass on one or two big trades alone. You need several meaningful winners that each carry part of the result. Plan your session so your gains are distributed, not concentrated in a single position — and remember that a few losses along the way make each winner count for more, so leave yourself margin below the limit rather than aiming right at it.
What Is NOT Allowed
Trying to make one large trade look like several smaller ones to get around the rule is not permitted, and 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 your 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 It Applies
The Best Trade Rule applies only to Supernova, Hypernova, and Ultranova, and is checked at the end of your session, just before your payout is generated. These products run on a single fixed session rather than on days — Supernova 24 hours, Hypernova 4 hours, Ultranova 1 hour — so measuring a "best day" wouldn't make sense, and we look at your best single trade instead. Other programs use the Best Day Rule, which measures your most profitable trading day. For exact percentages, always refer to your specific program's rules.
Common Questions
Does the Best Trade Rule breach my account?
No. It's checked at the end of your session as a payout condition — it never closes your account mid-session. But if it isn't met when the session ends, you won't be eligible for payout on that account.
What's the limit on each product?
15% on Supernova and Hypernova. 25% on Ultranova.
What counts as my "best trade"?
Your single most profitable trade idea — all positions on the same instrument in the same direction count as one trade, including partial entries and closes.
What happens if I hit the profit target but fail this rule?
You don't qualify for payout on that account. Both the profit target and the Best Trade Rule have to be met.
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.
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.
