Trading Rules

The Rules, Plainly

We don't hide behind fine print. Here's everything you need to know — the things we don't care about, and the handful of things we do.

What We Don't Care About

All the things other firms use to deny payouts. None apply here.

  • Consistency rules. Your best day can be 100% of your profit. We don't care.
  • Minimum trading days. Pass in a day or a month. It all counts.
  • Stop-loss mandates. Use one or don't — your strategy, your call.
  • News trading restrictions. Trade NFP. Trade CPI. Trade FOMC. No lockouts.
  • Weekend holds. Hold positions over weekends freely.
  • Strategy review. EAs, manual, grid, martingale — no human sitting in judgment.

What We Do Care About

The small handful of things that protect everyone.

  • Maximum drawdown. 6% static — a fixed floor from your starting balance. Clear, visible on your dashboard in real time.
  • Daily drawdown. 3% sensible guardrail. Protects you from a single bad session and protects the account.
  • One strategy, one account. No copy trading across accounts or group-coordinated trades.
  • No liquidity arbitrage. Latency arbitrage against our broker feed is not permitted.
  • KYC at first payout. One-time verification before your first withdrawal — standard broker compliance.
  • Good faith. Account sharing, identity fraud, and market manipulation get accounts closed. That's it.

Deep Dive: How Drawdown Works

The one rule that matters most. Explained in full.

Maximum drawdown

Your max drawdown is 6% of your starting balance — a fixed floor that never moves. Grow the account to $110k to receive your 10% payout, the floor stays exactly where it started. Simple, predictable, no surprises.

Daily drawdown

Alongside the static max drawdown, a 3% daily drawdown protects you from a single bad session and keeps the account on track. It resets at the daily server roll, so each new trading day starts fresh.

Breaches & resets

[DRAFT] Hit the floor, account closes. Your first reset is 50% off — purchased in one click from your dashboard, no cooldown. Additional resets are full price.
