Trading Rules

Our rules have been designed to align with professional and responsible trading practices. All rules are available in the dashboard, updated in real-time and automatically checked, resulting in fast challenge and payout reviews.

Max Drawdown

Two Stages: 10.0%

trader’s equity must not fall below the specified percentage of the initial trading capital at any point.

Example

For a $100,000 account with a 10% max drawdown limit, the equity must not fall below $90,000. If equity reaches $90,000 at any point, the rule is breached.

Trailing Daily Drawdown

Two Stages: 5.0%

A trader’s equity must not fall below the specified percentage of the previous day’s balance at any point.

Example

start the day with $100,000
During the day, your equity reaches $103,000 with a 5% drawdown rule, the new limit becomes $97,850
If your account drops below $97,850 on that same day, you violate the rule

Consequences

Breach of the drawdown rules in all stages results in an immediate account closure without refund.

Floating loss ratio

The floating loss ratio refers to the percentage of unrealized losses on a trading account relative to the total capital or equity. It measures how much of the account’s value is currently at a loss, but the loss hasn’t been realized yet (i.e., the position hasn’t been closed). This ratio helps traders assess the current risk exposure of their open positions.

Example

Let’s say you have a trading account with a capital of $100,000.
You currently have open positions showing an unrealized loss (floating loss) of $3,000.
To calculate the Floating Loss Ratio, you divide the floating loss by the total capital: $3,000 ÷ $100,000 = 3%
This means that 3% of your account is currently at risk, based on your open trades. If those positions were closed at that moment, you would realize a $3,000 loss.

Consequences

Breach of the drawdown rules in all stages results in an immediate account closure without refund.

Lot consistency

The Lot Consistency Withdraw Rule is a policy implemented by FundsCap to manage risk and ensure that traders are not engaging in erratic or high-risk trading practices that could jeopardize the firm’s capital.

Example

Trader A starts trading with 1 standard lot per trade.
Within the payout cycle active days for 15 days, Trader A continues to trade with lot sizes with average lot 1.5 lot, and the threshold of the lot consistency is top 2 times, and button 0.5 times, ranging from 3 to 0.75 standard lots. Trader A makes 30 eligible trades out of 40, within 3 to 0.75 lots during this period.
Result: Trader A has eligible trades for a withdrawal, as they have maintained lot consistency within the allowable deviation and met the trade frequency requirement.

Consequences

All trades breach of the Lot Consistency rule results in trades not elegible to withdrawal.

Trade value score

A single trade closed in same time cannot represent 33% or more of the profit made.

Example

Account Profit: $5,000
Trade A Profit: $1,600 (closed alone at a specific time)
Value Trade Score:
(1,600 ÷ 5,000) × 100 = 32%
Result: 32% < 33% → The account is eligible for withdrawal.

Consequences

Breach of the Trade value score rule results in account not elegible to withdrawal.

Max Drawdown

Standard: 6.0%

A  trader’s equity must not fall below the specified percentage of the initial trading capital at any point.

Example

For a $100,000 account with a 6% max drawdown limit, the equity must not fall below $94,000. If equity reaches $94,000 at any point, the rule is breached.

Trailing Daily Drawdown

Standard: 3.0%

This rule adjusts the drawdown limit upwards as your equity (balance + open trades) increases throughout the trading day — but it never moves back down.

Example

you start the day with $100,000
During the day, your equity reaches $103,000 with a 5% drawdown rule, the new limit becomes $99,910
If your account drops below $99,910 on that same day, you violate the rule

Consequences

Breach of the drawdown rules in all stages results in an immediate account closure without refund.

Floating loss ratio

The floating loss ratio refers to the percentage of unrealized losses on a trading account relative to the total capital or equity. It measures how much of the account’s value is currently at a loss, but the loss hasn’t been realized yet (i.e., the position hasn’t been closed). This ratio helps traders assess the current risk exposure of their open positions.

Example

Let’s say you have a trading account with a capital of $100,000.
You currently have open positions showing an unrealized loss (floating loss) of $1,500.
To calculate the Floating Loss Ratio, you divide the floating loss by the total capital: $1,500 ÷ $100,000 = 1.5%. This means that 1.5% of your account is currently at risk, based on your open trades. If those positions were closed at that moment, you would realize a $1,500 loss.

Consequences

Breach of the drawdown rules in all stages results in an immediate account closure without refund.
