Max Static Drawdown – The drawdown limit stays the same and doesn’t change.

Max Trailing Drawdown – The drawdown moves up as your account’s highest equity point increases.

📌 Example:

You start with $1,000 equity and a 3% trailing drawdown, meaning your initial max drawdown is $30. If your equity grows to $1,100, your new max drawdown is 3% of $1,100 ($33). If your account drops below $1,067, it would be a breach.

Daily Drawdown – The drawdown resets daily at 5:00 PM EST based on the highest equity or balance at that time.

What are the drawdown limits?

‍

One-Step Challenge

Max Drawdown: 7% (Static) – The maximum drawdown limit remains fixed and does not change.

The 30% Consistency Rule applies exclusively to Funded accounts obtained through the 1-step,1 step pro, 2-step and 2 step pro evaluation models. It is designed to ensure that a trader’s performance is consistent and not overly reliant on a single high-profit trading day.

‍

⚠️ Important: Traders are not required to follow the consistency rule during the Challenge Phase.

Our challenges have no time restrictions; you can pass in as little or as much time as you need!

While we permit weekend holding, it is not recommended due to the increased risk associated with market gaps that can occur between Friday’s close and Sunday’s open.
Traders must understand that holding positions over the weekend carries the potential for significant loss or account breach if the market opens beyond their stop loss. This risk is especially relevant in volatile conditions or during major news events. In summary, weekend holding is allowed, but strictly at your own risk. We strongly encourage traders to manage their positions accordingly and consider closing trades before the market closes on Friday to avoid unexpected outcomes.

Streamline your portfolio management by consolidating your funded accounts into a single, unified account.

This process allows for greater efficiency, simplifying your trading experience and ensuring that all your funds are easily accessible in one place. To get started with merging your accounts, simply submit a support ticket, and our team will assist you every step of the way. This seamless integration will help you focus more on your trading strategies while we handle the account management process.

After successfully passing Phase 1 or Phase 2, your account will enter a review process before being moved to the next stage.

This review can take up to 48 hours at maximum. Once the review is completed and your account is approved, you will automatically receive access to the next phase or funded account.

To pass your account, traders are required to complete a minimum number of profitable trading days. A profitable trading day is defined as a day where you achieve at least 0.5% profit based on your account balance.

‍

Minimum Profitable Trading Days by Account Type

1-Step Accounts: 4 profitable trading days

1-Step Pro Accounts: 5 profitable trading days

2-Step Accounts: 5 profitable trading days

2-Step Pro Accounts: 5 profitable trading days

‍

For funded accounts and payouts, traders must continue meeting the profitable trading day requirement according to their account type in order to become eligible for withdrawals. After each payout, the profitable trading day count resets and must be completed again before requesting another payout.

‍

Important Information

All trading days are calculated based on the 00:00 UTC timezone. Traders should rely on the information displayed in their dashboard, as trading days are not based on their local timezone or platform time.

The calculation for a profitable trading day is based on profits generated between:

00:00 UTC → 23:59 UTC

The maximum total capital allocation permitted under the Instant Pro model is $200,000 per trader. This limit applies to the trader’s combined allocation across all Instant Pro accounts and may not be exceeded under any circumstances.

Initially, when we launched the Instant Pro account, there was no consistency rule. However, we later observed that some traders began engaging in gambling behavior, HFT, and other restricted trading strategies.

To maintain fair trading practices and protect the integrity of the program, we have now introduced a consistency rule for this account.

‍

The Instant Pro account currently has a 15% consistency rule.

1. Weekend Holding: Weekend holding is not allowed by default.You can only hold trades over the weekend if you purchase the Weekend Add-on.

2. Consistency Rule: Instant Pro Accounts require traders to maintain a consistency score of 15% or less.

3. Highest Loss vs Highest Profit Rule: Your biggest loss must not exceed your biggest profit. If this were to occur, the Trader will be subject to an Account reset, if the Loss were to excessively outweigh the Highest Profit generated, the Account Status may be further penalised.

4: Mandatory Stop Loss: All trades in the live phase must have a Stop Loss in place. While it doesn’t have to be set at the very start of the trade, it must be added before closing the trade.

Our Core Trading Rule: No Gambling

At Next Level Funded, we uphold the highest standards of professional trading and risk management. To ensure a disciplined and sustainable trading environment, we have one fundamental rule that all traders must adhere to: No Gambling.

Trading should be based on strategy, analysis, and risk management, not luck or reckless behavior. Any form of gambling or irresponsible trading practices will result in disqualification from our program.

‍

What Constitutes Gambling at NLF?

Gambling is defined as engaging in trading behavior that carries excessive risk and lacks consistency, sustainability, or proper risk management. Such practices do not align with disciplined or skill-based trading. This may include, but is not limited to, the following:

‍

🔹 Excessive Scalping / High-Frequency Trade Execution – Rapid opening and closing of trades within very short time intervals, particularly under two  minutes, is considered reckless and non-strategic. This type of activity may result in a firm warning, and continued engagement may lead to immediate account action, including closure. Frequent, erratic entries and exits suggest an attempt to exploit execution mechanics rather than apply a structured trading approach.

‍

🔹 Martingale Strategy – Placing multiple trades (five or more) on the same currency pair while in drawdown is not a sustainable approach. This type of trade stacking increases risk exposure exponentially and is classified as a gambling strategy rather than a risk-managed method.

‍

🔹 "All-In" Trading – Executing a single high-risk trade without proper risk management—such as trading without a stop-loss or risking more than the maximum drawdown limit—is strictly prohibited. Taking extreme risks in hopes of either passing the challenge or failing the account does not align with responsible trading practices.

‍

Commit to Strategic & Disciplined Trading

At NLF, we encourage traders to adopt solid risk management strategies and structured trading plans to build long-term success. Proper trade execution, discipline, and a well-thought-out risk-reward strategy -  to becoming a consistently profitable trader.
‍
By following these principles, you ensure a fair and professional trading environment—one that rewards skill, discipline, and sound decision-making rather than high-risk speculation. 🚀

At Next Level Funded (NLF), all traders are expected to operate under fair market conditions and responsible risk behavior. Any attempt to exploit platform inefficiencies, manipulate execution, or generate non-genuine profits is strictly prohibited.

We actively monitor trading activity to ensure consistency with real-market behavior. Violations of this policy may result in account restriction or termination.

1. Platform Misuse & Technical Exploitation

Traders are not permitted to take advantage of any system or platform irregularities, including but not limited to:

• Trading on abnormal pricing, execution delays, or feed discrepancies
• Exploiting system glitches, freezing, or platform errors
• Using outdated or non-live market data to gain unfair advantage

Any attempt to benefit from such conditions is considered a serious violation.

2. Execution-Based Exploitation

The following practices are strictly prohibited:

• Latency-based trading strategies that rely on delayed price execution
• Arbitrage techniques that depend on pricing differences between feeds or accounts
• Ultra-fast execution strategies (including automated systems) designed to exploit micro price movements

Any trading style that relies primarily on execution imbalance rather than market analysis is not allowed.

3. Multi-Account Manipulation & Hedging Abuse

The following behaviors are not permitted:

• Opening opposing positions across multiple accounts to neutralize risk
• Coordinating trades between accounts to create artificial guaranteed outcomes
• Structuring trades across accounts in a way that removes real market exposure

Such activity is considered account manipulation and may lead to immediate action on all related accounts.

4. Automated Systems (EAs & Bots)

The use of Expert Advisors (EAs), trading bots, or any other automated trading systems is not permitted on Next Level Funded accounts.

All trading activity must be executed manually by the trader.

To ensure compliance with our rules, traders should only use manual trading methods on all NLF account types.

5. High-Risk & Non-Sustainable Trading Behavior

Traders must avoid strategies that rely on unrealistic or unstable risk exposure, including:

• Excessive lot sizing not aligned with account size
• Aggressive recovery-based position scaling (e.g., continuously increasing exposure after losses)
• Trading approaches that resemble gambling rather than structured risk management

6. Over-Exposure on Single Instruments

Opening multiple positions in a concentrated manner on a single asset in a short timeframe may be considered excessive risk concentration.

Traders are expected to maintain balanced exposure and avoid overcrowding in a single market direction.

7. General Trading Conduct

All trading activity must reflect genuine market participation, consistent strategy, and responsible risk control. Any behavior that appears designed to bypass normal trading conditions or simulate artificial performance may be reviewed.

Final Statement

NLF reserves full discretion in determining violations of fair trading behavior. Depending on severity, actions may include account review,profit split adjustment, restriction, or termination.

Trade responsibly. Stay consistent. Build long-term performance.
Next Level Funded. 🚀

Yes, all trades in both the Challenge and Funded phases must have a Stop Loss in place. While the Stop Loss does not need to be set immediately when opening the trade, it must be added before the trade is closed.

Any trade closed without a Stop Loss will be considered a violation of our rules. Depending on the severity of the violation, actions taken by the Payout Processing Team may include profit split adjustments, account reset, or, in extreme cases, a hard breach of the account.

All trades must be held for a minimum of 2 minutes. Any trade closed before 2 minutes will be considered a violation of Next Level Funded rules.

News Trading Restriction

Traders cannot open or close trades two minutes before or after a Red Folder news event release.

This includes:
Trades hitting take profit (TP) or profit target.
Pending orders being triggered.

Trades that were already open before the news event but close within the restricted time window.
‍
If any trades are executed during this period and result in passing an evaluation, the account will not be considered as having passed the challenge.
We have an auto-close feature that closes trades once the profit target is reached. If your trade is automatically closed during a restricted news period, even with a TP set, it will be counted as a violation. Traders who pass based on news trades will not pass the challenge.
The same rule applies to Live Accounts. Any profits made from trades executed within the restricted news window will not be credited.

At Next Level Funded (NLF), disciplined risk management is essential for protecting trading capital. To support this, NLF has implemented the NLF Safeguard, a protective risk-control system designed to prevent excessive floating losses.

This rule applies to all account types without exception, including Challenge accounts (challenge+funded phase), Instant accounts, and Giveaway accounts.

‍

NLF Safeguard Threshold

The NLF Safeguard is triggered when the total floating loss on open positions reaches 1.5% of the initial account balance.

This threshold applies to all eligible accounts without exception.

‍

How It Works

When the combined unrealized (floating) loss across all open positions reaches the 1.5% limit:

‍

• All open positions across all instruments are automatically closed

• Traders may resume trading immediately

• No cooldown, suspension, or waiting period is applied

‍

This action is a protective intervention, not a direct account breach. Its purpose is to limit drawdown exposure and help preserve account stability.

‍

Example

You are trading a $100,000 funded account:

• You have multiple open positions
• Your total floating loss reaches –$1,500
• This equals 1.5% of the initial account balance

‍

At this point, the NLF Safeguard is triggered and all open positions are automatically closed.

Once exposure is reduced, you may continue trading immediately.

‍

What Happens If the NLF Safeguard Is Triggered?

If the NLF Safeguard is triggered, the event will be classified as a soft breach and the account will be reviewed by the NLF Risk Team. Depending on the nature, frequency, and severity of the violation, actions may include account review, account reset, profit split adjustment, trading restrictions, or, in serious cases, a hard breach.

Traders are expected to maintain disciplined risk management practices at all times and remain fully compliant with NLF’s trading standards and risk policies.

‍

Final Note

The NLF Safeguard is not a penalty — it is a risk protection mechanism.

It is designed to help traders manage volatility, reduce excessive losses, and promote long-term consistency.

Trade responsibly. Manage risk effectively.

Each trader is strictly limited to a single identity across all accounts. The use of multiple emails or attempting multiple KYC verifications while being the same individual is strictly prohibited and considered a serious breach of our rules. Such behavior may result in immediate account termination and can lead to a permanent ban from Next Level Funded (NLF).

In addition, third-party payments and payouts are not allowed under any circumstances. All deposits, withdrawals, and payout methods (including crypto wallets address or RISE IDs) must belong solely to the account holder. Using any payment method that does not match the verified account identity is strictly forbidden and may result in account closure and forfeiture of services.

Copy trading of any kind is strictly prohibited across all accounts, including both evaluation and funded stages. In addition, the use of trading signals or signal services is not allowed. All trading decisions must be made independently by the account holder without external trade instructions or third-party influence.

Any violation of this policy may result in account termination in accordance with Next Level Funded’s risk management and compliance standards.

The use of VPNs, VPS services, proxies, or any similar tools that mask or alter a trader’s real location is strictly prohibited across all accounts, including both evaluation and funded stages.

For security, compliance, and system integrity purposes, all trading activity must be conducted using a stable and authentic internet connection that reflects the trader’s actual geographical location. Any attempt to conceal, modify, or route location data through external services may result in immediate account review, restriction, or termination.

To maintain the integrity of our trading systems, your IP address must remain consistent in geographical location throughout your entire trading experience — including both the evaluation and live simulated stages. We understand that some traders may need to switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data due to connectivity issues. This is permitted, provided that your IP address remains within the same regional area (i.e., the same city or nearby location). Frequent or significant changes in geographical IP location may result in account review or suspension for security purposes.

If you anticipate connectivity issues that may require wider location changes, please contact support prior to trading to avoid disruptions.

Certain rule violations, including News Trading Violations, Mandatory Stop Loss Violations, and 2-Minute Rule Violations etc are tracked under a soft breach system.

If a trader accumulates a total of 5 violations combined across these rules, the account will be considered hard breached.

‍

Example:

1 News Trading Violations

2 Mandatory Stop Loss Violations

2 Violations of the 2-Minute Rule

=5 total violations → Hard Breach

‍

‍

The Payout Processing Team also reserves the right to take actions such as profit adjustments, account resets, trading restrictions, or other necessary measures depending on the nature and severity of the violations.

All accounts are required to remain actively traded and properly maintained at all times. If no trades are executed on an account for a continuous period of 21 days, the account will be considered inactive and will result in a hard breach under Next Level Funded’s trading policies.

This policy is implemented to ensure that all accounts remain actively managed and aligned with the firm’s operational and risk management standards. Traders are solely responsible for monitoring their account activity and ensuring ongoing trading engagement.

Accounts breached due to inactivity are not eligible for reinstatement, recovery, or appeal. All inactivity breach decisions made by Next Level Funded are considered final.

In our 1-Step Challenges, the Daily Reset is based on the High Watermark—the highest value reached by either your balance or equity at any given time. This ensures that your trailing drawdown adjusts daily in line with your best performance, creating a fair, transparent, and trader-friendly environment.

We implement the High Watermark method because it upholds the integrity of the challenge while rewarding consistency and effective risk management. Unlike a balance-only reset, which could allow traders to carry significant floating losses without consequences, or an equity-only reset, which may fluctuate too frequently, the High Watermark strikes the perfect balance. It protects your hard-earned gains while allowing flexibility in your trading strategy. This approach is widely adopted by top-tier prop firms and ensures that all traders compete on a level playing field. By focusing on sound risk management and steady performance, you position yourself for long-term success—and we’re here to support you every step of the way. 🚀

The 30% Consistency Rule applies exclusively to Funded accounts obtained through the evaluation models. It is designed to ensure that a trader’s performance is consistent and not overly reliant on a single high-profit trading day.

Under this rule, the profit from a single trading day cannot exceed 30% of the total profit made during the payout period.

If a trader’s largest profitable day exceeds 30% of the total profit, the trader must continue trading until the profit distribution becomes consistent and the largest trading day falls within the 30% limit.

‍

Example

A trader requests a payout with $10,000 in total profit.

30% of $10,000 = $3,000

This means no single trading day can exceed $3,000 in profit.

If the trader made $5,000 in one day, this would exceed the 30% consistency threshold. The trader would need to continue trading and generate additional profit until the largest winning day represents 30% or less of the total profit.

Your highest profitable day for the consistency calculation is defined as the most profits you record between 5PM to 5PM New York time. 

‍

When a withdrawal is approved, your consistency calculation resets and only includes results from the new cycle going forward. Your highest profitable day and any remaining profits from the last consistency cycle will not be included in the next consistency calculation. 

At Next Level Funded (NLF), disciplined risk management is essential for protecting trading capital. To support this, NLF has implemented the NLF Safeguard, a protective risk-control system designed to prevent excessive floating losses.

This rule applies to all account types without exception, including Challenge accounts (challenge+funded phase), Instant accounts, and Giveaway accounts.

‍

NLF Safeguard Threshold

The NLF Safeguard is triggered when the total floating loss on open positions reaches 1.5% of the initial account balance.

This threshold applies to all eligible accounts without exception.

‍

How It Works

When the combined unrealized (floating) loss across all open positions reaches the 1.5% limit:

‍

• All open positions across all instruments are automatically closed

• Traders may resume trading immediately

• No cooldown, suspension, or waiting period is applied

‍

This action is a protective intervention, not a direct account breach. Its purpose is to limit drawdown exposure and help preserve account stability.

‍

Example

You are trading a $100,000 funded account:

• You have multiple open positions
• Your total floating loss reaches –$1,500
• This equals 1.5% of the initial account balance

‍

At this point, the NLF Safeguard is triggered and all open positions are automatically closed.

Once exposure is reduced, you may continue trading immediately.

‍

What Happens If the NLF Safeguard Is Triggered?

If the NLF Safeguard is triggered, the event will be classified as a soft breach and the account will be reviewed by the NLF Risk Team. Depending on the nature, frequency, and severity of the violation, actions may include account review, account reset, profit split adjustment, trading restrictions, or, in serious cases, a hard breach.

Traders are expected to maintain disciplined risk management practices at all times and remain fully compliant with NLF’s trading standards and risk policies.

It is designed to help traders manage volatility, reduce excessive losses, and promote long-term consistency.

Yes, all trades in both the Challenge and Funded phases must have a Stop Loss in place. While the Stop Loss does not need to be set immediately when opening the trade, it must be added before the trade is closed.

Any trade closed without a Stop Loss will be considered a violation of our rules. Depending on the severity of the violation, actions taken by the Payout Processing Team may include profit split adjustments, account reset, or, in extreme cases, a hard breach of the account.

To pass your account, traders are required to complete a minimum number of profitable trading days. A profitable trading day is defined as a day where you achieve at least 0.5% profit based on your account balance.

‍

Minimum Profitable Trading Days by Account Type

1-Step Accounts: 4 profitable trading days

1-Step Pro Accounts: 5 profitable trading days

2-Step Accounts: 5 profitable trading days

2-Step Pro Accounts: 5 profitable trading days

‍

For funded accounts and payouts, traders must continue meeting the profitable trading day requirement according to their account type in order to become eligible for withdrawals. After each payout, the profitable trading day count resets and must be completed again before requesting another payout.

‍

Important Information

All trading days are calculated based on the 00:00 UTC timezone. Traders should rely on the information displayed in their dashboard, as trading days are not based on their local timezone or platform time.

The calculation for a profitable trading day is based on profits generated between:

00:00 UTC → 23:59 UTC

To become eligible for payouts on Instant Pro Accounts, traders are required to complete a minimum of 5 profitable trading days.

A profitable trading day is defined as a day where the trader achieves at least 0.5% profit based on the account balance.

After each payout, the profitable trading day count resets and must be completed again before becoming eligible for future withdrawals.

The Top Up Feature is used as a way for Traders to stay in the game - Whether they are on there final Phase of an Evaluation Account or are Funded. Top Ups can be used to combat Losing Streaks & Bad Trading Days.

For Example, if your trading with a $10,000 Account:
- You lose 4% and now your Account is at $9,600.
- You are 4% away from Overall Drawdown, but also now 4% away from the Initial Account Balance.
- You can purchase a $250 Top Up - which will bring your account balance back to $9,850
This will allow you to have a little more breathing room with your Trading.

Note:
- Top ups cannot be used passed the initial Account Balance Size, so do not purchase more than what you need.
- If an Account is breached, a top up cannot be used on it / reopen the account - Top Ups can only be used in evaluation or live phases.

Each account can be topped up a maximum of two times. After your second top-up, you will need to purchase a new account to continue using the top-up feature.

Once you have purchased the amount you wish to have added to your account balance, please follow these steps:

1. Go to the Next Level Funded Discord

2. Open a Ticket in our #support-ticket Channel

3. Title your message as "Top Up"

4. Provide the following information:

5. Screenshot of Purchase Receipt6. Email7. Account Number

We have ZERO swap fees across all accounts.

Funds cannot go past your starting balance, so if you purchase the $500 top up feature for a $10,000 account that is in drawdown of $300, this means there would be $200 that will be nullified & not be included.

Your KYC Verification process will not be included in the withdrawal time period as well, if in rare circumstances they overlap.

Yes. The information you provide during checkout and account creation must be accurate and consistent with the details submitted during KYC verification and payout requests. Changes to key personal information later in the process may be considered suspicious and could be associated with potentially fraudulent activity.

Minor corrections, such as small spelling errors in your name, may be accepted. However, the personal details provided at checkout are expected to remain consistent throughout the lifetime of your account. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in a denial of services or the termination of your account. In certain edge cases, requests may be reviewed at the discretion of the NLF team.

Identity Verification Requirements at Next Level Funded

To maintain the highest level of security and compliance, all traders who choose to trade with Next Level Funded are required to provide valid identification before gaining access to their accounts once becoming funded. This ensures a secure trading environment and upholds regulatory standards.

Passport
National/State Identification Card
Residency Documentation
Any other government-issued identification that meets our verification standards

4. Authenticity of Documents

5. Finality of Submission

NLF Giveaway Accounts are complimentary trading accounts awarded to winners through our official giveaways on platforms such as X (Twitter),Discord and Instagram. These accounts are provided at no cost and offer traders the opportunity to trade under NLF’s rules and conditions.

The number of phases depends on the trading platform selected for your Giveaway Account.

• MT5 Giveaway Accounts consist of 2 phases before reaching the Live (Funded) stage.
• Match-Trader Giveaway Accounts consist of 3 phases before reaching the Live (Funded) stage.

Each phase must be completed successfully while complying with all applicable trading rules and objectives before progressing to the next stage.

The profit targets vary depending on the trading platform used for your Giveaway Account.

MT5 Giveaway Accounts

• Phase 1: 8%
• Phase 2: 6%

Match-Trader Giveaway Accounts

• Phase 1: 8%
• Phase 2: 6%
• Phase 3: 5%

Traders must successfully achieve the profit target for each phase while complying with all applicable trading rules before progressing to the next phase or becoming eligible for a funded account.

Yes. All Next Level Funded (NLF) Giveaway Accounts are subject to a 20% Consistency Rule during the Live (Funded) phase only.

The consistency rule does not apply during the Evaluation (Challenge) phase.

To remain eligible for payouts, your largest profitable trading day must not exceed 20% of your total profit earned during the payout period. If this threshold is exceeded, you must continue trading until the consistency requirement is met.

Traders must comply with this rule throughout the Live phase to maintain payout eligibility.

To satisfy the 20% Consistency Rule, your trading performance must remain consistent throughout the payout period. No single profitable trading day may account for more than 20% of your total profit.
‍

How to calculate it:

1. Identify your highest profitable trading day.
2. Divide that amount by 0.20 (20%) to determine the minimum total profit required.
3. Ensure your total profit meets or exceeds this amount while no other trading day exceeds your highest profitable day.
   ‍

Example

Suppose your highest profitable trading day is $200.

$200 ÷ 0.20 = $1,000

This means you must earn at least $1,000 in total profit for the $200 trading day to represent no more than 20% of your overall profits.

To satisfy the rule:

• Your highest profitable day must remain $200 or less.
• Your total accumulated profit must reach at least $1,000.

This rule promotes consistent trading performance and discourages reliance on a single exceptionally profitable trading day.

All Next Level Funded (NLF) Giveaway Accounts, including both MT5 and Match-Trader accounts, are subject to the following drawdown limits:

• Daily Drawdown: 3%
• Maximum (Overall) Drawdown: 5%

The Daily Drawdown represents the maximum loss permitted within a single trading day, while the Maximum (Overall) Drawdown is the total loss limit allowed on the account at any point. Exceeding either limit will result in a breach of the account.

For Next Level Funded (NLF) Giveaway Accounts:

‍

• The daily drawdown updates daily at 5:00 PM EST, based on your account equity/balance at that time.
  
• The maximum drawdown is static and does not change over time.
  
  

Traders must adhere to both limits to remain in good standing.

The profit split for NLF Giveaway Accounts is 70% in favor of the trader, meaning traders receive 70% of the profits generated, in accordance with NLF’s rules and payout conditions.

For Next Level Funded (NLF) Giveaway Accounts, a minimum of three profitable days is required.
‍

• A profitable day is counted when the account achieves at least 0.5% profit in a single day.

• Traders must meet this minimum across the applicable phase(s) to comply with the account rules.

Payout eligibility depends on the trading platform used for your Giveaway Account.

• MT5 Giveaway Accounts: Traders may request their payout 7 days after the start of the Live (Funded) phase.
• Match-Trader Giveaway Accounts: Traders may request their payout 14 days after the start of the Live (Funded) phase.

In all cases, traders must satisfy all applicable payout eligibility requirements and comply with the account rules before submitting a payout request.

Yes. NLF Giveaway Accounts are eligible for one payout only.

• Live (Funded) Stage: 10 calendar days

Match-Trader Giveaway Accounts

• Phase 1: Unlimited trading time
• Phase 2: Unlimited trading time
• Phase 3: Unlimited trading time

The minimum withdrawal for the $5,000 Giveaway Account is $90, calculated after the profit split and payout processing fee.

Since the first payout is capped at 3%, the maximum eligible profit is $150.

‍

Breakdown:

Processing fee: $15

Net payout: $90
