Drawdown Rules

• Daily Drawdown: Ranges between 3% – 5%, depending on account type.
• Maximum Drawdown: Between 6% – 10%.

Strategy Rules

• Copy Trading: Mirroring trades between evaluation accounts is not allowed. Each account must be traded independently.
• Expert Advisors (EAs): EAs are permitted, but traders must prove ownership if requested by providing the source code. If you pass the evaluation using an EA, you must continue using the same strategy in the funded account.
• News Trading: Trading around economic news is allowed. However, profits from trades opened or closed within 2 minutes of a high-impact release are capped at 1% of account balance.
• Weekend Holding: Positions may be held over the weekend. For evaluation accounts, the risk team may review and approve trades before they can remain open.
• IP Address Usage: Accounts must be accessed only from valid geographic locations. VPNs, VPSs and remote access tools are strictly prohibited.

• Base profit split is 80% for most models.
• Traders can optionally upgrade to 100% profit split via add-ons at checkout.
• In the “GOAT Model” with on-demand reward, the first reward may use a 40% profit split (before upgrade)

Withdrawal Requests

• After the first two rewards, there is no withdrawal limit on profits.
• A minimum withdrawal amount is $100 for funded account rewards.
• All open trades/orders must be closed before submitting a withdrawal request.
