What Is the Instant Funding Program?

The instant funding program removes the need for a challenge phase. Simply purchase an account and jump right into the action within minutes!

Instant Funding means there’s no challenge phase—you’re funded instantly and can start trading right away!

Yes, there is a consistency rule in the Instant Funding Challenge. However, if you breach this rule, it does not disqualify you from receiving a payout. Inconsistent amounts will simply be removed, and the balance will be paid out after the profit split.

Profit Consistency Rule:No single trade can account for more than 25% of the total profit in your account. If you have already reached the profit cap, the rule will apply to the profit cap instead, whichever is lower. For example, if your profit cap is $10,000, 25% of that would be $2,500, which would be the maximum allowed per trade.

Lot Size Consistency Rule:To calculate your trading range, take the average lot size of all your trades. The highest lot size allowed is your average lot size multiplied by 2, and the lowest allowed is your average lot size divided by 4.

Please note that taking multiple positions in the same direction to bypass the consistency rule will result in these trades being aggregated into one for both profit and lot size consistency. The consistency rule will only be checked at payout.

The profit cap on instant funding is set at 5% of your original account balance.
This means that per payout cycle you can withdraw up to 5% of the original balance, you can repeat this on each payout cycle

Daily Drawdown:
The daily drawdown is 5% of your starting balance each day. This includes any floating losses, swaps, and commissions. The limit resets at midnight (server time).

Max Drawdown:
The max drawdown for the Instant Funding Challenge is 10% of your initial balance. Your account equity can’t drop below 90% of your starting balance at any time. Unlike daily drawdown, this limit does not reset.

The profit splits for Instant Funding are as follows:
• 1st withdrawal: 50%
• 2nd withdrawal: 55%
• 3rd withdrawal: 60%
• 4th withdrawal: 65%
• 5th withdrawal: 70%
• 6th withdrawal: 90%

The first payout is 4 weeks after purchase, every other payout is every 2 weeks.

Profit Consistency Rule: The purpose of the profit consistency rule is to help traders achieve consistent profits and avoid emotional trading.

Example (Express Challenge):
If your account has a total profit of $10,000 at the time of payout, no single trade can account for more than 25% of this profit.
In this case, 25% of $10,000 is $2,500. Therefore, no trade can exceed $2,500 in profit.
If you submit a payout request and have any trades exceeding this limit, they will be considered a soft breach.
This means we will remove the trades that break the rule, but you will still maintain access to your account, and the profit from those trades will be deducted from your total profit.

Profit Cap Example:
Once you hit the profit cap, the rule will be applied based on that cap. For example, if your profit cap is $10,000 but you have $15,000 in your account, the profit consistency will be calculated on the cap of $10,000, so no trade can exceed 25% of $10,000, which is $2,500.
Any profits over the cap (the extra $5,000 in this case) won’t be counted for the profit consistency rule.
If you are below the profit cap, such as having a total profit of $5,000, the profit consistency will be calculated on your total profit. In this case, no trade can exceed 25% of $5,000, which is $1,250.
Any trades above the profit cap will not be considered for either the profit consistency rule or the lot size consistency rule.

Important Note: The profit consistency rule resets after each payout. This means every new payout period starts fresh for profit consistency calculations.

Note: If you take multiple positions in the same direction on the same pair at a similar time (such as within 5-10 minutes of each other) this will be classed as one ‘Trade idea’. All the lots and profit in this Trade Idea will be combined into 1.

For example, if you take 3x long positions on EURUSD with 2 lots each and they make $500 profit each at a similar time, this Trade Idea will have a total lots of 6, and total profit of $1,500. If this is not within the Lot Size Consistency and Profit consistency rule it will be soft breached.

Lot Size Consistency Rule: The lot size consistency rule is applied once you submit a payout request. This rule ensures that your trade sizes remain consistent.

How it works:
Your average trade size is used to calculate an acceptable trading range.
To find the maximum allowed trade size: add 100% to your average trade size.
To find the minimum allowed trade size: subtract 75% from your average trade size.
Example:
If your average trade size is 1 lot, the acceptable range would be:
Maximum trade size: 1 lot + 100% = 2 lots.
Minimum trade size: 1 lot – 75% = 0.25 lots.
Any trade outside this range will be considered a soft breach.
As with the profit consistency rule, invalid trades will be removed, but you will still have access to your account.

Important Note:The lot size consistency rule is calculated across all of your trade history and does not reset after each payout. It continues to apply throughout all payout periods.

Note: If you take multiple positions in the same direction on the same pair at a similar time (such as within 5-10 minutes of each other) this will be classed as one ‘Trade idea’. All the lots and profit in this Trade Idea will be combined into 1.

For example, if you take 3x long positions on EURUSD with 2 lots each and they make $500 profit each at a similar time, this Trade Idea will have a total lots of 6, and total profit of $1,500. If this is not within the Lot Size Consistency and Profit consistency rule it will be soft breached.

The max withdrawal per payout cycle is 5% of the original balance, so on a $200,000 account you can withdraw upto $10,000 every payout period.
