For non-Tier 1 news

• Open trades can remain, but new trades around (just before, during, or immediately after ) the event are discouraged to avoid volatility risks.

Inactivity Rule*

• Standard inactivity rule: Accounts are terminated if no trade is placed for 29 days.

For Instant accounts purchased after November 23, 2025: Must place at least one trade every 7 days, or the account will be breached.

• Accounts remain active with recurring monthly payments, even without trades, but regular activity is encouraged to avoid termination.

• Terminated accounts can be recovered by settling all outstanding payments (requires prior contact for pauses due to special reasons)

Trading Hours

Evaluation

• If scalping trades exceed 50% of the target, the account will not be eligible for an upgrade to a funded account.

Sim Funded

  Scalping trades are not removed from your payout request, but they will be removed from your leftover profit/buffer chosen by the user. If the scalped amount is higher than the remaining buffer, the account will be breached.
