What is the Accountability/Stability Rule?
To promote responsible trading practices, we have implemented a preventive gambling rule . This rule limits the maximum daily profit a trader can make to 6% of their starting account balance (Equity or closed profits whichever is higher) to help them safeguard their profits after a successful trading day in the markets and prevent risky behavior . Here’s a detailed explanation of how it works and the consequences of breaching this rule:
Maximum Daily Profit Limit
6% Limit: A trader cannot make more than 6% profit in a single day based on their starting account balance.
Example 1: If you purchase a $100,000 challenge account, you cannot make more than $6,000 profit in any given day, regardless of your account's future balance.
Example 2: If your account balance increases to $110,000, the daily profit limit remains 6% of the original $100,000 balance, which is still $6,000.
Impact of Negative Trades
Negative Start: If you start the day with a negative trade, any profit made afterward will count towards your 6% maximum allowed profit for that day.
Example: If you have a $100,000 account and start the day with a trade that loses $2,000, you can only make up to $8,000 in profit for the rest of the day. This ensures that your net profit does not exceed the $6,000 limit (since -$2,000 + $8,000 = $6,000).
Consequences of Breaching the Rule
Phase 1 and Phase 2: If the Accountability/Stability Rule is broken during Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the challenge, it is considered a soft breach. In this case, the account will be reset, but it will not be taken away. This allows you to continue the challenge with a fresh start while learning to adhere to the rule.
This allows our traders to get a 2nd chance at the challenge.
A 2nd violation to the rule on Phase 1 and 2 will result in a Hard Breach.
Funded Stage: If the rule is breached during the funded stage, it is considered a hard breach. In this scenario, the account may be subject to more severe consequences, including potential disqualification or account termination.
**Profit Safeguard for Instant Funded Accounts**For our Instant Funded Accounts, the Profit Safeguard Rule is slightly adjusted to align with the nature of these accounts. The Profit Safeguard for instant funded accounts is set at **3% daily of the original account purchased balance**.
This means that the daily Profit Safeguard will be based on the account balance at the time of purchase and will not change over time.
Example:
If you purchase an Instant Funded Account with a balance of $100,000, the daily Profit Safeguard will be:
3% of $100,000 = $3,000
This safeguard ensures a structured and balanced trading approach while offering the freedom and benefits of immediate funding without phases.
