No. Copy trading is not allowed. This includes copying trades from another trader, signal provider, trade copier, EA provider, group, external account, or another user.

Copy trading across your own accounts is also not allowed unless specifically permitted in writing. If you wish to take larger positions, you may merge accounts where eligible, up to the maximum allocation limit.

No. Hedging is not allowed, even on the same account or across multiple accounts. This includes opening opposite positions on the same or correlated instruments in a way that artificially reduces or offsets risk.

No. Each trader must trade their own account independently. You may not allow another person, account manager, signal provider or third party to trade on your behalf.

The following trading practices are prohibited:

• Hedging

• Gambling-style trading
• Trading during restricted news windows

• Any strategy designed to manipulate, abuse or bypass the trading rules
• Any activity that does not reflect genuine, independent trading

No. Grid trading is prohibited. Grid trading includes opening multiple positions on the same or related instrument as price moves against the trader, with the intention of recovering losses or profiting from a later retracement.

No. Martingale and reverse martingale strategies are prohibited. This includes increasing position size after losses or wins in a structured sequence designed to recover losses, compound exposure aggressively, or bypass normal risk controls.

No. Arbitrage strategies are prohibited. This includes latency arbitrage, price feed arbitrage, broker arbitrage, platform arbitrage, or exploiting differences between accounts, firms, brokers or data feeds.

No. Any attempt to exploit platform delays, price errors, execution errors, technical issues or mispricing is strictly prohibited. If you notice a platform issue, report it to support immediately rather than attempting to profit from it.

No. All-in trading or excessive risk trading is prohibited. This includes taking unusually large positions, risking a significant portion of the account on one trade or short series of trades, or trading in a way that does not reflect responsible risk management.

No. High-frequency trading, tick scalping, or strategies designed to exploit micro-price movements, execution delays, latency or platform conditions are prohibited.

Use of a prohibited trading practice may result in warnings, account suspension, account termination, payout denial, disqualification from the program, or loss of platform access.

Serious violations may result in immediate termination without refund.

Trading restrictions apply around red-folder or high-impact news events.

Any trade opened within 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after a red-folder news event will result in a hard breach. This applies to instruments directly affected by the relevant news event.

Yes. You may hold trades during red-folder news provided the trade was opened outside of the restricted 5-minute window before or after the news event.

However, any profit made during the restricted news window may be deducted from the account. This will not result in a breach unless the trade was opened within the restricted window.

If a trade is opened within 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after a red-folder news event, this will be treated as a hard breach. The account may be terminated and any pending payout may be denied.

If the trade was opened before the restricted news window, the account will not be breached solely because the trade was held during the news event. However, any profit made during the restricted news window may be deducted from the account.

Losses taken during news remain the trader’s responsibility. If the loss causes the account to breach the daily drawdown, maximum drawdown, or any other loss limit, the account will be terminated.

High-impact news events can create abnormal volatility, price gaps, spreads and execution conditions. The rule is designed to prevent traders from exploiting news spikes while still allowing traders to manage trades that were opened outside the restricted window.

Minimum hold time is 2 minutes.

• First 2 violations = warnings
• 3rd violation = hard breach

You must place at least one trade every 30 days, or the account will breach.

Spread widening or slippage is not a violation unless it directly causes a drawdown or daily loss breach. If you feel spreads or slippage were abnormal, contact support via live chat.

Trades remain active on the server. Traders are responsible for managing open positions and ensuring the account remains within all trading rules and drawdown limits.

All standard evaluations require a minimum of 3 trading days. Each of those days must have at least 0.5% profit. These days do not need to be consecutive.

This requirement applies only during evaluations. ProPass and funded-stage requirements may differ.

Two-Phase evaluation uses a static drawdown.

Example on a $100,000 account: max drawdown is 8%, so the breach level is $92,000. This level never changes, regardless of profit or withdrawals.

One-Phase evaluation uses a trailing equity-based drawdown.

Example on a $100,000 account: max drawdown is 6%, so the initial breach level is $94,000. As equity increases, the drawdown level trails upward. If equity reaches $110,000, the new breach level becomes $104,000.

Two-Phase accounts: static drawdown means withdrawals do not change the breach level.

One-Phase accounts: trailing drawdown means you keep any remaining buffer you had prior to withdrawal.

Example: highest equity is $110,000, trailing drawdown is locked at $104,000, balance after loss is $108,000, and the trader withdraws $8,000. New balance becomes $100,000 and the new breach level becomes $96,000.

Daily loss limit is calculated as a percentage of your previous day’s closing balance. Standard evaluation accounts use a 5% daily loss limit unless stated otherwise. Instant Funding accounts use a 3% daily drawdown limit.

The One-Phase consistency rule is a maximum 30% daily profit relative to your payout period’s total profits. This encourages stable and repeatable trading performance.

The Two-Phase consistency rule is a maximum 35% daily profit relative to your payout period’s total profits. This encourages stable and repeatable trading performance.

The ProPass Profit Consistency Rule ensures that your success is built on repeatable, sustainable trading rather than a single lottery-style win.

No single trading day can account for more than 25% of your total profit required to pass or withdraw. If a single day’s profit exceeds the 25% cap, you are not disqualified. Instead, you must continue trading until your total profits are redistributed so that no single day exceeds 25%.

Yes. You can merge up to 3 accounts, with a maximum total allocation of $300,000, where eligible.

You may hold up to 3 funded accounts with a maximum total funding allocation of $300,000. Additional funded accounts may be placed on hold until allocation is available.

You can request your first payout 14 days after placing your first trade on a funded account, subject to account eligibility, KYC approval, payout review and full compliance with all trading rules.

Payouts can be requested every 14 days, repeating from the date of your first trade, unless your specific account type states otherwise.

The minimum payout amount is $100 due to processing fees. Amounts below this threshold cannot be withdrawn.

Supported withdrawal methods may include cryptocurrency, bank transfer and other methods by request, depending on availability.

No. Payouts are not guaranteed. All payouts are subject to trading rule compliance, payout review, KYC approval, fraud checks, prohibited-practice checks, account eligibility and minimum withdrawal requirements.

If suspicious activity or rule violations are found, payouts may be delayed, reduced or denied.

Yes. All payouts are subject to review. If prohibited trading, suspicious activity, rule violations or abuse of the platform are detected, a payout may be delayed, reduced or denied.

ProPass is a low-barrier evaluation option that lets you start trading with a small upfront access fee and only pay the remaining activation fee after you successfully pass the challenge.

You trade first. You pay the remaining fee once you prove you can trade.

ProPass allows you to access an evaluation account by paying a small access fee upfront. If you pass the evaluation, you pay the remaining activation fee to proceed. If you do not pass, there are no further charges.

ProPips offers two ProPass formats:

• ProPass 1-Step — a single evaluation phase
• ProPass 2-Step — a traditional two-phase evaluation structure

ProPass requires a small upfront access fee to activate the evaluation account. The fee confirms account activation, is non-refundable, and is significantly lower than a standard evaluation fee.

The remaining activation fee is only paid after passing.

No. ProPass is not a loan, credit product or financing agreement. You are only paying the remaining evaluation fee after passing, based on performance, not deferred debt.

ProPass plans cannot be modified once active. To change plan type or account size, a new ProPass purchase is required.

ProPass availability may vary by account size, platform and market conditions. Please refer to the checkout page for currently available ProPass options.

Instant Funding allows traders to access a funded simulated trading account immediately, without needing to complete a one-phase or two-phase evaluation first. Instead of passing a challenge, traders purchase direct access to an Instant Funding account and trade under the Instant Funding rules, drawdown limits, withdrawal structure and payout conditions.

No. Instant Funding does not require an evaluation phase. Once your account is activated, you can begin trading immediately under the Instant Funding rules.

Instant Funding accounts have leverage of up to 1:30.

Instant Funding accounts have a 70% profit split. This means eligible withdrawable profits are paid at a 70% trader profit share, subject to all payout rules, withdrawal caps, account review and compliance checks.

Withdrawals may be requested every 14 days, subject to meeting all Instant Funding requirements and passing the payout review process.

Instant Funding accounts have a 3% daily drawdown limit. If the account breaches the daily drawdown limit, the account will be terminated.

Instant Funding accounts have a 5% trailing lifetime drawdown. The drawdown level trails upward as the account grows and is reset according to the Instant Funding withdrawal rules after an approved withdrawal is processed.

Instant Funding accounts require a 3% minimum withdrawal buffer. This means the account must retain at least 3% profit, based on the starting account balance, after a withdrawal is processed.

Only profits above this 3% buffer are eligible to be withdrawn or deducted during a withdrawal request.

The maximum trader withdrawal is capped at 2% of the starting account balance per withdrawal cycle. This is a payout cap, not an automatic withdrawal amount.

Profits above the required 3% buffer may be deducted from the account when a withdrawal is processed, but the trader can only receive up to 2% of the starting account balance as withdrawable profit.

Instant Funding withdrawals are based on two rules:

• A 3% minimum buffer must remain in the account.
• The trader payout is capped at 2% of the starting balance per withdrawal cycle.

When a withdrawal is requested, all profits above the required 3% buffer are deducted from the trading account balance. However, the trader can only receive a maximum payout of 2% of the account starting balance.

Any profit above the 2% withdrawal cap may still be removed from the trading account but will not be paid out to the trader.

Example 1: If a trader makes $4,000 profit on a $100,000 Instant Funding account, the account balance becomes $104,000. The required 3% buffer is $3,000, meaning $103,000 must remain in the account. This means $1,000 is eligible to be withdrawn.

After the withdrawal is processed, $1,000 is deducted from the trading account, the account balance resets to $103,000, and the lifetime drawdown limit resets to $98,000.

If your profit above the 3% buffer is greater than the 2% maximum withdrawal cap, only the capped amount can be paid to you.

Example: If a trader makes $6,000 profit on a $100,000 Instant Funding account, the account balance becomes $106,000. The required 3% buffer is $3,000, meaning the account must retain $103,000. This means $3,000 will be deducted from the account when the withdrawal is processed.

Because the maximum withdrawal is capped at 2% of the starting balance, the trader can only receive $2,000 as withdrawable profit. The remaining $1,000 above the withdrawal cap is deducted from the account but is not paid to the trader.

After an Instant Funding withdrawal is processed, the account balance is reset so that the required 3% buffer remains in the account. The lifetime drawdown limit then resets to 5% below the account starting balance.

Example: On a $100,000 account, after a withdrawal is processed and the account is reset to $103,000, the maximum drawdown limit will reset to $98,000. If equity falls to $98,000, the account will be breached.

No. The 2% maximum withdrawal is only a cap. Your actual withdrawal depends on how much profit you have made above the required 3% buffer.

If you make less than the amount required to exceed the 3% buffer, no withdrawal will be available. If you make profits above the 3% buffer, you may withdraw the eligible amount up to a maximum of 2% of the account starting balance.

Yes. Instant Funding accounts must follow all prohibited trading practices, including rules relating to news trading, copy trading, hedging, grid trading, martingale strategies, latency exploitation, arbitrage and other forms of abusive or manipulative trading.

Yes. Affiliates can refer other affiliates to the program. If you refer another affiliate, you may earn 3% commission on any sales generated by that affiliate.
