Introduction
We want to evaluate your trading through multiple decisions, not just one big trade.
Passing a challenge from a single position or trade idea doesn’t give us enough information to assess your skill, consistency, or risk management.
That’s why we’ve introduced a new rule for both challenge and funded accounts:
No single trade idea can contribute more than 90% of your total profit during the evaluation or payout period.
📅 This rule shall take effect on August 1, 2025.
How it works
The 90% rule applies to:
Challenge accounts: Before you can pass a stage
Funded accounts: Before you can receive a payout
If your largest trade counts towards more than 90% of your profit for that stage, your pass or payout will be blocked until more profit is generated from qualifying trades.
While this rule is similar to a consistency score, it is far more relaxed, as the requirement can be met with two trades on the same day.
We consider a unique trade idea to be any positions for a given symbol that are in the same direction and do not have a time interval longer than one hour between the closing and opening of the position.
Calculating the 90% rule
Calculating the 90% rule is simple.
To calculate the minimum additional profit needed to bring your largest trade below 90% of your total profit, you can use this simple formula:
(Largest trade ÷ 90%) - Total profit
Example #1
Suppose your initial balance is $100,000 and your stage 1 challenge profit target is 9% ($9,000), which you’ve reached with just one trade. You’ll need to continue trading to ensure this trade doesn’t reflect more than 90% of your total profit.
To know how much profit is required for this scenario, use the following formula:
($9,000 ÷ 0.9 = $10,000) - $9,000 = $1,000
Conclusion: You need to continue trading to reach at least $1,000 of profit from one or more trades or accept a $1,000 deduction (before profit share) from your payout.
Example #2
Suppose your initial balance is $100,000, you were in 1% drawdown, and you’ve reached 3% profit in your funded account with one trade giving $4,000 profit, you’ll need to continue trading to ensure this trade doesn’t reflect more than 90% of your total profit.
To know how much profit is required for this scenario, use the following formula:
($4,000 ÷ 0.9 = $4,445) - $4,000 = $445
Conclusion: You need to continue trading to reach at least $445 of profit from one or more trades or accept a $445 deduction (before profit share) from your payout.
Example #3
Suppose your initial balance is $100,000, and you have three trades, with a total $6,000 profit:
Trade 1: +$5,600
Trade 2: +$200
Trade 3: +$200
To know how much profit is required for this scenario, use the following formula:
($5,800 ÷ 0.9 = $6,223) - $6,000 = $223
Conclusion: You must either continue trading to reach at least $223 of profit from one or more trades or accept a $223 deduction (before profit share) from your payout.
FAQs
What happens if I pass the challenge but haven't complied with this rule?
If we find during review that your challenge pass was based on a single large trade that violates this rule, you’ll need to continue trading. The pass will be paused, and you'll need to resume the challenge until the performance meets the requirement.
Can I fail my challenge by breaching this rule?
No. This rule doesn't cause an automatic failure. If your largest trade exceeds 90% of your total profit, you’ll need to continue trading until the requirement is met.
