⚠️ The 90% Rule applies only to accounts purchased before October 16, 2025.
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.
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.
On funded accounts, to calculate the minimum additional profit needed to bring your largest trade idea below 90% of your total profit, you can use this simple formula:
(Largest trade idea ÷ 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) - $3,000 = $1,445
Conclusion: You need to continue trading to reach at least $1,445 of profit from one or more trades.
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:
($5,600 ÷ 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.
