1-Step Challenge

The current funded Challenge consistency rule is 15%; it does not apply during evaluation. Add-ons and legacy account versions may differ.

The current 1-Step program uses 10% trailing maximum drawdown referenced to the highest closed balance. It begins 10% below the starting balance. As closed balance grows, the floor moves up. After +10% closed profit it locks at the original starting balance.

Use the exact live floor in your dashboard for intermediate balances. Do not substitute the static 2-Step formula or the Prediction Markets equity-trailing formula. If the floor is unclear, ask support for an account-specific calculation before placing a trade. The separate 5% daily rule continues to apply.

The daily limit depends on the program: 1-Step and 2-Step: 5% of the previous end-of-day closed balance; Instant Funding: 3% of that closed balance. Prediction Markets instead uses 3% of prior end-of-day equity. The reset is 5 PM ET, America/New_York.

Yes, current equity is monitored for a breach even though the daily reference and 1-Step maximum reference use closed balance. An open loss can breach an account before you close the trade. Unrealised profit does not raise a closed-balance reference until realised.

See balance, equity, reset times and trading costs for examples.

Complete the required stage or stages and trading days while complying with all rules. Follow the official review, verification and agreement instructions before funded access is issued. A target reached on screen alone is not confirmation that the assessment has been approved.

No. For Challenge accounts, the 15% consistency rule applies after reaching the funded stage, not during evaluation. The funded account has no evaluation profit target, but loss limits and all other applicable rules remain.

See the consistency calculation and example.

The first eligible request is 7 days after the first trade on the funded account; later requests are every 7 days.

Passing evaluation is not itself a payout. Check verification, consistency, your next eligible date and the account’s payout conditions. See payout help.

EAs, automated strategies, copy traders and trade copiers are allowed when you own or are authorised to use the tool and retain exclusive control of every MFC account involved. You remain responsible for every order and all program rules.

Account sharing, third-party account management, platform or pricing exploitation, latency/feed arbitrage and coordinated trading intended to bypass limits remain prohibited. A copier does not make a prohibited strategy acceptable. Ask support for written confirmation before using an unclear setup.

Check your program and purchased add-ons before placing a trade near news or holding over a weekend. Do not assume permission on one account applies to another. Instant Funding prohibits opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a major news event without its News Trading add-on, and weekend holding requires its Weekend Holding add-on.

Other programs have their own applicable terms. Check the event, affected instrument and time zone; ask support to clarify uncertain cases before trading. An add-on does not remove other risk or prohibited-strategy rules. Do not assume an add-on can be purchased later or applied retroactively.

These explanations cover the current program. Your purchased program, stage, account version and selected add-ons matter. Before trading, compare the rules in your dashboard with your accepted agreement. If a value differs, ask support to reconcile it before relying on a general example.

Send support the program, stage, masked account reference and conflicting values. A general FAQ example must not be used to guess an unconfirmed live threshold.
