Fees and failing

A one-time fee buys one account at the size you pick. The 2-step and the 1-step put an evaluation in front of the funded account; instant funding starts funded from your first trade. That fee is the only money you ever put at risk, and it comes back with your first payout. Losses on the simulated account are ours, not yours.

The account closes and that fee is spent. Nothing else follows: no cooldown, no ban, and a breach on one account never touches another you bought. A closed account cannot request a payout either, because the payout check requires an account still in the funded state, so profit left sitting in it goes with it.

The rules

Two numbers. The daily loss limit, 5% on the 2-step and 4% on the 1-step and instant funding, measured from your equity at the 00:00 UTC reset. And the maximum drawdown, 10% on the 2-step and 8% on the 1-step and instant funding, static. Both are computed on equity including open positions, both are checked on every tick, and both are drawn in your dashboard by the same engine that enforces them.

It is a fixed floor, not a trailing one. On the day your account opens we take the starting balance, subtract 10% on the 2-step and 8% on the 1-step and instant funding, and that number is your floor for the life of the account. It never rises as you profit and it never falls as you lose, so profit you make above it is headroom you keep rather than a floor that climbs behind you. It is measured on equity including open positions and checked on every tick.

Expert advisors, news trading and weekend holding are all allowed, on every account we sell. What we do not allow is copy trading, or latency arbitrage: those exploit the simulation rather than the market. Everything else is trading, and trading is what you came here to do.

Not a cap on the trading. Funded accounts carry a consistency rule: no single day should account for more than 40% on the 2-step and the 1-step and 30% on instant funding of the profit in a cycle. Exceeding it is recorded against the account and the ratio is on your dashboard, but it is not one of the two limits that close an account. Separately, 30 days with no trade at all closes one; placing a trade resets that clock.

Getting funded

Each evaluation phase needs trades on at least 4 days, so the floor is the 2-step in 8 trading days and the 1-step in 4 trading days. Instant funding skips evaluation entirely and is funded from the first trade. There is no limit in the other direction: no phase carries a maximum number of days, so take as long as you need.

8% then 5% on the 2-step and 10% on the 1-step, measured on the balance the phase started with, with the daily and drawdown limits running underneath the whole time. Instant funding has no target at all, because there is no phase to pass.

Yes, before your first payout rather than before your first trade. The payout check reads verification status directly: an account whose KYC is not approved cannot request money out, however well it traded. Doing it early is the difference between money that lands the day the window opens and money that waits on paperwork.

Payouts

Your payouts are real money. The trading is not: evaluations and funded accounts run on simulated capital priced against live market data, so nothing you open reaches a live venue and no loss on the account is ever yours to cover. The fee is what you risk. The split is what you earn.

Your share is 80% on the 2-step and the 1-step and 60% on instant funding. The first request opens 4 days after the account is funded, and each later window opens 14 days after the last payout. Both windows count calendar days, and neither asks you to trade on them. The minimum request is €100.00, and money goes out by wire, Wise or crypto.

You trade in SentryFX, the terminal and matching engine we wrote ourselves, with charting from TradingView so the tools are the ones you already use. The universe is FX majors and crosses, gold and silver, index CFDs and the two large crypto pairs, at leverage of 1:100 on the 2-step, 1:50 on the 1-step and 1:30 on instant funding.

Still unanswered?

Write to the desk. A trader answers, and if the rulebook is unclear we would rather fix the wording than argue it later.
