The 2XBOGO promotion is one of our most generous offers. When you apply the code 2XBOGO at checkout, you will immediately receive 50% off the purchase price of any eligible account. In addition, you can earn up to two free accounts of the same size once you reach specific payout milestones on a $25,000 or larger account. For Evaluation accounts, the free accounts are awarded after your first and second payouts. For Instant Funding accounts, they are awarded after your second and third payouts.

The 1FREE promotion rewards traders with a complimentary $25,000 Instant Account once they achieve their first qualifying payout. If you are trading on a 1-Step or 2-Step Evaluation account, the free account is granted after your first payout. If you are on an Instant Pro account, it is granted after your second payout. To qualify, your original purchase must be a $25,000 account or larger, and the promotion does not apply to Special, Beginner, or Intermediate account types. Just enter the code 1FREE at checkout to activate the offer.

In most cases, your account credentials are delivered to your registered email address within 10 minutes of a successful payment. If you have not received them, we recommend checking your spam or junk folder first, as automated emails are occasionally filtered there. If your credentials are still missing after checking those folders, please reach out to our support team with the email address associated with your purchase and a screenshot of your order receipt. Our team will investigate the matter promptly, though please allow up to 24 hours for a full review and resolution.

In rare cases, a technical or system error may result in a customer receiving two trading accounts after purchasing only one. If this happens, please contact Next Level Funded Support before trading on either account so our team can review the account allocation and correct it. Only one account will be treated as active and eligible for trading and payouts. If you trade on both accounts without reporting the issue, only one will be honored, and any activity or profits generated on the other will not be recognized. Duplicate account allocations caused by system errors are extremely rare. If you notice that you have received more accounts than you purchased, simply reach out to our support team before trading, and we will assist you promptly.

The PTH promotion code provides 50% OFF along with a Free Retry on eligible accounts, allowing traders to receive another attempt on their account without purchasing a new one, provided the retry conditions are met. Please note that this code does not apply to the Beginner $10K and Intermediate $25K accounts, and these account types are fully excluded from the promotion. To receive the discount and Free Retry, simply enter the code PTH at checkout when purchasing an eligible account.

This guarantee reflects our dedication to ensuring that every trader is paid quickly and reliably. Please note that the time spent on KYC verification is not included in this 12-hour window.

👉You get 50% OFF + Buy 1, Get 1 Free on any Account when you use the code BOGO50.

Here’s how it works in simple terms:

• You purchase one account (for example, a $50K or $100K challenge).

• You get 50% off the price of that account at checkout when using the code BOGO50.

• After your purchase , trade and receive your first payout , the firm will add or issue a second account of the same size for free (the “Get 1 Free” part).

✅ Example:

Let’s say a $50K account normally costs $400.

• 50% off means you pay $200.

• Then, you’ll also receive an additional $50K account free, so you end up with two $50K accounts for $200 total.

Next Level Funded is a proprietary trading firm built to give skilled traders access to simulated capital, without the barriers that hold most people back. We offer two paths depending on how you trade. Our Instant Funding accounts get you live in minutes with no evaluation required: pay a one-time fee and start trading immediately. For traders who prefer a more structured route, our Challenge accounts let you prove your edge through a straightforward evaluation before stepping into a funded account. Whichever path you choose, you keep up to 100% of your profits, with on-demand payouts and no waiting on fixed cycles. You can trade using MetaTrader 5, with no restrictions on news trading or weekend holding. Since launching, we have funded traders across more than 110 countries, paid out over $3 million in profits, and built a community of over 20,000 traders, backed by a 4.7-star rating across all platforms. Our goal is simple: if you can trade, we will back you.

At Next Level Funded, we understand that many talented traders lack the capital necessary to trade at a meaningful scale. Our entire platform is designed to solve that problem. We provide the funding, the infrastructure, and the support so that profitable traders can focus on what they do best: trading. Beyond capital, we are committed to reliable payouts, transparent rules, and a genuine partnership with every trader on our platform. Our goal is to help as many traders as possible build a long-term career in the financial markets.

After you successfully pass your evaluation, you will trade under live market conditions using simulated capital. This means that while the funds in your account are not real money, the market data, pricing, and execution you experience are entirely real. Any profits you generate are treated as genuine earnings, and you are eligible to withdraw your share of those profits based on your agreed-upon profit split. This model allows us to fund traders at scale while maintaining a fair and transparent environment for everyone.

Yes, we absolutely do. Traders who achieve a 10% profit over a four-month period with a minimum of 2.5% profit per month and at least one withdrawal per month will see their account balance increase by 25% per scaling cycle. This process can continue until your account reaches a maximum balance of $1,000,000. Please keep in mind that while your account balance grows, the withdrawal cap per cycle remains the same as it was at your original account size.

Our default profit split is 80% in favor of the trader, and this applies across all account types. For traders who want to maximize their earnings, we offer a profit split add-on that can raise your share to as high as 100%. This add-on can be selected at the time of purchase or added later, depending on the account type.

No. Copy trading, signal services, and any form of third-party trade replication are strictly prohibited at all stages of your account lifecycle. All trading decisions must be made independently by the account holder. Violations of this policy may result in immediate account termination.

Yes, a Stop Loss is mandatory on every trade. While you are not required to set the Stop Loss at the exact moment a trade is opened, it must be in place before the trade is closed. Failure to comply with this rule may result in a profit split adjustment, an account reset, or a hard breach, depending on the severity and frequency of the violation.

Yes. If your account goes 21 consecutive calendar days without any trading activity, it will be classified as inactive and will receive a hard breach. Please be aware that inactivity breaches are final and are not eligible for reinstatement or appeal. We recommend placing at least one trade within every 21-day window to keep your account active.

‍

Yes. Your IP address's geographic location should remain consistent throughout both the evaluation and funded trading phases. Switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data is perfectly acceptable as long as you remain within the same general region. However, significant changes in location, such as traveling to a different country, may trigger an account review. If you anticipate a change in location, we encourage you to contact our support team in advance so we can note your account accordingly.

No. The use of VPNs, VPS services, proxies, or any other tools designed to mask your true geographic location is prohibited at all stages. Trading must be conducted using a stable internet connection that accurately reflects your real location. Accounts found to be using location masking tools may be subject to review, restriction, or termination.

We maintain strict standards to ensure a fair trading environment for all participants. The following practices are strictly prohibited across all account types: excessive scalping or high-frequency trading, Martingale-style trade stacking, "all in" trades without proper risk management, exploiting platform glitches or pricing errors, latency or arbitrage-based execution exploitation, multi-account hedging or manipulation, the use of Expert Advisors (EAs) or automated bots (manual trading only is permitted), and excessive concentration in a single instrument. Violations of these rules may result in an account review, profit split adjustment, trading restrictions, or permanent termination of your account.

Each trader is permitted to hold only one identity across all Next Level Funded accounts. Creating multiple accounts under different email addresses or submitting multiple KYC verifications for the same individual is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate termination or a permanent ban. Additionally, all payment methods used for purchases and payouts must belong to the account holder. Third-party payments and payouts are not permitted under any circumstances.

The 2-Minute Rule requires every trade opened to remain open for at least two minutes before it is closed. This applies across the entire lifecycle of the account, during the Challenge phase and again once the account is Funded. How violations are enforced:

1st violation: The trader's profit split is cut to 50%, regardless of whether the account is in the Challenge phase or the Funded phase. Instead of the usual 80% or higher, the trader will only retain 50% of profits generated going forward on that account until the matter is resolvedd

2nd violation: The account is hard breached, meaning it is closed for rule non-compliance. This applies whether the violation happens during the Challenge phase or the Funded phase. Please note that this applies to all account types.

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.

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. Additionally, this applies to all account types. Trade responsibly. Manage risk effectively. Level up with Next Level Funded.

Violations are enforced differently during the Challenge and Funded stages. Challenge Stage: 2 Minute Rule violations: One violation will result in a 50% profit split. Two or more violations within a single evaluation phase will result in a hard breach and permanent account closure. Stop Loss and other soft-breach violations: No enforcement action will be taken for one to four Stop Loss violations when no other violations have occurred. However, accumulating five Stop Loss violations or five combined soft-breach violations will result in a hard breach and permanent account closure. Funded Stage: The first violation of any trading rule will result in a 50% profit split. A second violation of any kind, whether it relates to the same rule or a different rule, will result in a hard breach and permanent account closure. Our Payout Processing Team also reserves the right to apply profit adjustments, account resets, or other restrictions depending on the nature and severity of the violations.

Getting started with Next Level Funded is simple. First, we recommend reviewing our trading rules to ensure you are comfortable with the requirements. Next, choose your preferred account size, challenge type, and trading platform. Once you have made your selections, you can complete your purchase using a credit card or cryptocurrency. If you choose to pay with crypto, please be sure to send the exact coin amount displayed at checkout rather than the USD equivalent, as exchange rate fluctuations can affect the received amount.

You may hold up to $500,000 in total starting capital at any given time. For example, this could be structured as ten $50,000 accounts or five $100,000 funded accounts. Additionally, individual accounts can be scaled up to $1,000,000 through our scaling program, which operates independently of this allocation limit.

The profit targets for each account type are as follows:

Step Challenge Targets

‍

1-Step Account: 8%

1-Step Pro Account: 11%

2-Step Account: 8% in Phase 1 / 6% in Phase 2

2-Step Pro Account: 6% in Phase 1 / 6% in Phase 2

Traders must achieve the required profit target while respecting all trading rules and risk parameters to successfully pass each phase.

We utilize three distinct drawdown models, and the type that applies to your account depends on the specific program you choose. Max Static Drawdown is a fixed limit that remains constant regardless of your account's performance. Max Trailing Drawdown adjusts upward as your highest equity point increases, meaning it follows your account's growth. Daily Drawdown resets every day at 5:00 PM EST and is calculated based on the highest equity or balance recorded at that time. Understanding which drawdown model applies to your account is essential for effective risk management.

What are the drawdown limits?

‍

One-Step Challenge

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

Daily Drawdown: 3% – Calculated based on the highest balance or equity recorded at 5:00 PM EST.
‍

One-Step Pro Challenge

Max Drawdown: 11% (Static) – The maximum drawdown limit remains fixed and does not change.

Daily Drawdown: 3% – Calculated based on the highest balance or equity recorded at 5:00 PM EST.
‍

Two-Step Challenge

Max Drawdown: 12% (Static) – The maximum drawdown limit remains fixed and does not change.

Daily Drawdown: 5% – Calculated based on the highest balance or equity recorded at 5:00 PM EST.
‍

Two-Step Pro Challenge

Max Drawdown: 8% (can be 10% with the add-on) (Static) – The maximum drawdown limit remains fixed and does not change. 

Daily Drawdown: 4% – Calculated based on the highest balance or equity recorded at 5:00 PM EST.

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.

Congratulations on passing! Once you hit your profit target, your account will enter a review period that typically takes up to 48 hours. During this time, our team verifies that all trading rules have been followed. Once the review is complete and your results are approved, access to the next phase or your funded account will be granted automatically. You will receive a confirmation email with all the relevant details.

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 2-Minute Rule requires every trade opened to remain open for at least two minutes before it is closed. This applies across the entire lifecycle of the account. How violations are enforced:

1st violation: The trader's profit split is cut to 50%. Instead of the usual 90% or higher, the trader will only retain 50% of profits generated going forward on that account until the matter is resolveddd.

2nd violation: The account is hard breached, meaning it is closed for rule non-compliance.

No, there is no time limit on any of our Challenge programs. You are free to trade at your own pace and take as many days as you need to reach your profit target. We believe that removing time pressure allows traders to make better, more disciplined decisions. This does not apply to Giveaway Accounts, which follow separate rules.

Yes, you can consolidate multiple funded accounts into a single account if you prefer a streamlined trading experience. To initiate this process, simply submit a support ticket through our help desk, and our team will guide you through the consolidation step by step.

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.

With NLFs buy 1 get 1 free offer, all standard evaluations will receive their Free account upon reaching 1st Payout.

For Instant Pro Accounts, users will receive their free Account upon receiving their second Payout!

Yes. All trades must be held for a minimum of 2 minutes.

Any trade closed before 2 minutes is considered a violation of our rules.

First violation: Your profit split will be reduced to 50%.

Second violation: Results in a hard breach of the account

If the Trader meets all requirements of their Trading Account & achieves a Profit of 2.5% or more, they are able to withdraw at Their choice.

All trades must have a valid Stop-Loss (SL) in place. Repeated breaches will result in progressive profit split deductions:

• 2 breaches: 10% profit split deduction

•  3 breaches: 25% profit split deduction

• 5 breaches: 50% profit split deduction

• 8 breaches: Hard breach — the account will be terminated.

‍

Traders are responsible for ensuring a valid Stop-Loss is placed on every trade.

Instant Crown Accounts have the following drawdown limits:

• Maximum Drawdown: 4% (trailing) –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: 2% – Calculated based on the highest balance or equity recorded at 5:00 PM EST.

No. Instant Crown Accounts do not have a consistency rule, allowing traders to trade without consistency restrictions.

Instant Crown Accounts offer a 90% profit split by default. Traders can increase their profit split to 100% by purchasing the available Profit Split Add-On.

By default, payouts can be requested every 10 days.

Traders who purchase the On-Demand Payout Add-On may request a payout at any time, provided they have achieved a minimum of 3% profit and meet all other payout eligibility requirements.

To become eligible for payouts on Instant Crown Accounts, traders must complete 10 separate qualifying trades, with each trade generating a minimum profit of 0.5%.

‍

For multiple qualifying trades to count on the same trading day, each trade must be fully closed before opening the next trade. If a new trade is opened before the previous trade has been closed, those trades will not both count toward the qualifying trade requirement.

‍

Examples

‍

Example 1 (Qualifies):

Trade 1: Open → Close (+0.5%) ✅

Trade 2: Open → Close (+0.7%) ✅

‍

Since Trade 1 was fully closed before Trade 2 was opened, both trades count toward the 10 qualifying trades requirement.

‍

Example 2 (Does Not Qualify):

Trade 1: Open

Trade 2: Open (while Trade 1 is still open)

Trade 1: Close (+0.6%)

Trade 2: Close (+0.5%)

‍

Since the trades overlapped, they will not both count toward the 10 qualifying trades requirement.

‍

After each payout, the qualifying trade requirement resets and must be completed again before becoming eligible for future payouts.

‍

Yes. Instant Crown Accounts have a 3% payout cap per payout request.

The 2-Minute Rule requires every trade opened to remain open for at least two minutes before it is closed. This applies across the entire lifecycle of the account. How violations are enforced:

Instant Crown Accounts are our premium instant funding model, providing immediate access to a fully funded account with no evaluation required. These accounts feature a 90% default profit split, no consistency rule, and full permission for both weekend holding and news trading. Optional add-ons include a 100% profit split and On Demand Payouts, making this our most flexible and trader-friendly account type.

The Maximum Drawdown is 4% trailing, which means it rises in tandem with your highest equity point. As your account balance grows to new highs, the drawdown limit moves up right along with it. The Daily Drawdown is 2%, calculated based on the highest balance or equity recorded at 5:00 PM EST each trading day.

No. Instant Crown Accounts do not have a consistency rule, giving you complete freedom in how you distribute your profits across trading days.

The default profit split is 90% to the trader. You can upgrade to a 100% profit split by purchasing the Profit Split Add-On.

By default, payouts can be requested every 10 days. If you purchase the On Demand Payout Add-On, you may request a payout at any time after reaching at least 3% profit and meeting all other eligibility requirements.

The Daily Drawdown recalculates each day at 5:00 PM EST based on your account's equity or balance at that moment, while the Maximum Drawdown stays fixed and never changes. Traders need to stay within both limits at all times to keep their account in good standing.

To qualify for a payout, you must complete 10 separate qualifying trades, each generating at least 0.5% profit. Trades must be taken one at a time. Each trade must be fully closed before the next one is opened. If you open a new trade while a previous one is still running, only that first trade will count toward your 10 qualifying trades, no matter how much profit the overlapping trades make. These requirements reset after each successful payout.

Yes. The maximum payout per request is capped at 3% of your account balance.

Once your floating loss hits the 1% threshold, the Safeguard activates automatically and closes the affected open position or positions. This is treated as a soft breach, meaning our Risk Team will review the account afterward. Depending on what is found, this could result in an account review, a reset, an adjustment to your profit split, added trading restrictions, or, in more serious cases, a hard breach. We always encourage traders to manage risk carefully and stay aligned with our trading standards. As an example: on a $50,000 Giveaway Account, that 1% threshold works out to $500. Once floating losses reach that amount, the Safeguard steps in.

The maximum floating risk permitted is 1.5% of your account balance. Exceeding this limit may result in profit adjustments, an account reset, or a hard breach.

The first violation of any trading rule will result in a 50% profit split. A second violation of any kind, whether it relates to the same rule or a different rule, will result in a hard breach and permanent account closure. Our Payout Processing Team also reserves the right to apply profit adjustments, account resets, or other restrictions depending on the nature and severity of the violations.

Yes. All trades must have a Stop Loss in place. While it does not need to be set when the trade is opened, it must be added before the position is closed.

Failure to comply with this rule may result in profit adjustments, account resets, or other actions deemed necessary by the Payout Processing Team.

Yes. Traders may purchase multiple Instant Funding Flex Accounts.

The maximum allocation permitted per trader across all Instant Funding Flex Accounts is $500,000.

‍

The maximum risk permitted on any single trade is 1% of the account balance.

Exceeding this limit is considered a violation of the account rules and may result in profit adjustments, account resets, or a hard breach, depending on the severity of the violation.

The 2-Minute Rule requires every trade opened to remain open for at least two minutes before it is closed. This applies across the entire lifecycle of the account. How violations are enforced:

1st violation: The trader's profit split is cut to 50%. Instead of the usual 90% or higher, the trader will only retain 50% of profits generated going forward on that account until the matter is resolveddd.

2nd violation: The account is hard breached, meaning it is closed for rule non-compliance.

Yes. Weekend holding and news trading are permitted on Instant Funding Flex Accounts.

However, if you earn more than 0.5% profit from trades executed during a red folder news event, any profit above 0.5% generated from those news trades will be deducted during the payout review process.

For example, if you make 1.2% profit from news trading, only 0.5% will be counted, and the remaining 0.7% will be deducted from your payout. All other trading rules and risk management requirements must also be followed.

Yes. The Instant Funding Flex $10K account is available as a one-time purchase only and cannot be repurchased.

The Instant Funding Flex $10K account allows one payout only. Once the payout is processed, the account will be closed.

The maximum payout is $100 before the processing fee.

The profit split for Giveaway Accounts is 70% to the trader.

All trades must have a valid Stop-Loss (SL) in place. Repeated breaches will result in progressive profit split deductions:

• 2 breaches: 10% profit split deduction

•  3 breaches: 25% profit split deduction

• 5 breaches: 50% profit split deduction

• 8 breaches: Hard breach — the account will be terminated.

‍

Traders are responsible for ensuring a valid Stop-Loss is placed on every trade.

Instant Funding Flex Accounts offer a flexible, no-evaluation path to immediate funding. These accounts feature unlimited trading days, a 4% trailing maximum drawdown, and a 15% consistency rule, providing a balanced framework for traders who want instant access without the constraints of a traditional challenge.

Instant Funding Flex Accounts have unlimited trading days. There is no time limit to meet your objectives or reach payout eligibility.

You must complete 10 separate qualifying trades, each earning at least 0.5% profit, with each trade fully closed before the next one opens. These requirements reset after each payout.

You may request a payout 7 days after the Funded phase begins.

Yes. Giveaway Accounts are limited to a single payout of up to 3% of the account balance. Once this payout has been processed, the account is permanently closed.

Yes. You may hold up to a combined $500,000 allocation across all Instant Funding Flex accounts.

The maximum risk per trade is 1% of your account balance.

Yes, both are permitted. However, any profit exceeding 0.5% earned during Red Folder news events will be deducted at the payout review stage.

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.

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.

Yes. All trades must be held for a minimum of 2 minutes.

Any trade closed before 2 minutes is considered a violation of our rules.

First violation: Your profit split will be reduced to 50%.

Second violation: Results in a hard breach of the account.

Note: This rule applies to both Evaluation and Funded Phase

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.

Level up with Next Level Funded. 🚀

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.

Violations are enforced differently during the Challenge and Funded stages. Challenge Stage: 2 Minute Rule violations: One violation will result in a 50% profit split. Two or more violations within a single evaluation phase will result in a hard breach and permanent account closure. Stop Loss and other soft-breach violations: No enforcement action will be taken for one to four Stop Loss violations when no other violations have occurred. However, accumulating five Stop Loss violations or five combined soft-breach violations will result in a hard breach and permanent account closure. Funded Stage: The first violation of any trading rule will result in a 50% profit split. A second violation of any kind, whether it relates to the same rule or a different rule, will result in a hard breach and permanent account closure. Our Payout Processing Team also reserves the right to apply profit adjustments, account resets, or other restrictions 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.

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

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.

The NLF Safeguard is a risk-management mechanism designed to help protect Giveaway Accounts from excessive floating losses.

‍

For Giveaway Accounts, the Safeguard threshold is 1% of the account's initial balance.

If your floating loss reaches the 1% Safeguard threshold, the Safeguard will be triggered and the affected trade(s) may be automatically closed.

‍

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

- 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.

‍

Example: On a $50,000 Giveaway Account, the 1% Safeguard threshold is $500. If the account reaches $500 in floating loss, the NLF Safeguard will be triggered.

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 during the applicable challenge phase.

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

Once the account reaches the Funded Stage, a minimum of five profitable days is required, with at least 0.5% profit per day.

Traders must meet these minimum requirements 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.

• You may request a payout of up to 3% of the account balance.
• Once the payout has been processed, the Giveaway Account will be permanently closed.

This policy ensures that Giveaway Accounts remain a promotional opportunity while maintaining fairness and sustainability across the program.

The trading period depends on the platform used for your Giveaway Account.

MT5 Giveaway Accounts

• Phase 1: 10 calendar days
• Phase 2: 10 calendar days
• 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
• Live (Funded) Stage: Unlimited trading time

Traders must complete each phase within the applicable trading period while meeting all trading objectives and complying with the account rules.

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:

Gross profit: $150

Profit split (30%): $45

Processing fee: $15

Net payout: $90

Withdrawals below $90 are not eligible for processing.

NLF Giveaway Accounts are complimentary trading accounts awarded to winners of our community giveaways. They allow recipients to trade under NLF's standard rules at no cost, providing a genuine opportunity to experience our funded trading environment.

Yes. A 20% Consistency Rule applies during the Funded phase of Giveaway Accounts. This means that no single trading day's profit may exceed 20% of your total accumulated profit for the payout period.

The profit split for Giveaway Accounts is 70% to the trader.

You may request a payout 7 days after the Funded phase begins.

Yes. Giveaway Accounts are limited to a single payout of up to 3% of the account balance. Once this payout has been processed, the account is permanently closed.

Giveaway Accounts include 2 phases before you reach the funded stage. Each phase needs to be completed in full, and all applicable trading rules and targets must be met, before you can move on to the next one.

On MT5 Giveaway Accounts, you will need 8% in Phase 1 and 6% in Phase 2. You will need to hit the required target for each phase, while staying compliant with all trading rules, before advancing to the next phase or becoming eligible for a funded account.

Yes. The NLF Safeguard exists to protect your account from taking on too much floating loss. For Giveaway Accounts specifically, this protection kicks in once your floating loss reaches 1% of the account's starting balance.

Once your floating loss hits the 1% threshold, the Safeguard activates automatically and closes the affected open position or positions. This is treated as a soft breach, meaning our Risk Team will review the account afterward. Depending on what is found, this could result in an account review, a reset, an adjustment to your profit split, added trading restrictions, or, in more serious cases, a hard breach. We always encourage traders to manage risk carefully and stay aligned with our trading standards. As an example: on a $50,000 Giveaway Account, that 1% threshold works out to $500. Once floating losses reach that amount, the Safeguard steps in.

This rule is there to make sure your results stay balanced across your trading days rather than resting on a single lucky session. In practice, no single profitable day should make up more than 20% of your total profit for the payout period. To check whether you are within the limit: take your best single day's profit and divide it by 0.20. That tells you the minimum total profit you would need for that day to stay within the 20% threshold. For instance, if your strongest day brought in $200, dividing that by 0.20 gives you $1,000. That means your overall profit for the period needs to reach at least $1,000 for that $200 day to qualify as 20% or less of the total. This encourages traders to build consistent results instead of relying on one standout day.

Giveaway accounts have a 3% Daily Drawdown and a 5% Maximum (Overall) Drawdown. The Daily Drawdown caps how much you can lose in a single trading day, while the Maximum Drawdown sets the ceiling for total losses across the life of the account. Breaching either one will result in the account being closed.

The Daily Drawdown recalculates each day at 5:00 PM EST based on your account's equity or balance at that moment, while the Maximum Drawdown stays fixed and never changes. Traders need to stay within both limits at all times to keep their account in good standing.

During the evaluation phase, you will need at least three profitable trading days, where a profitable day means earning at least 0.5% profit in that day. Once you move into the Funded stage, that requirement increases to five profitable days, still at a minimum of 0.5% profit each.

MT5 Giveaway Accounts give you 10 calendar days for each phase, including Phase 1, Phase 2, and the Funded stage.

The minimum withdrawal on this account size is $90, once the profit split and processing fee have been deducted. Since your first payout is capped at 3% of the account balance, the highest eligible profit comes to $150. After a 30% profit split is taken out ($45) and a $15 processing fee is applied, you are left with a net payout of $90. Any withdrawal request below that amount will not be processed.

Your initial account purchase fee is fully refunded alongside your third successful payout. This is our way of rewarding traders who demonstrate the consistency and skill to reach this milestone.

At Next Level Funded, the account fee is refunded in conjunction with a trader's third successful payout, as outlined under our standard refund policy. Outside of this structure, additional refunds are not typically available. We strongly encourage all traders to review the applicable rules, terms, and account details thoroughly prior to completing a purchase.

Our 2 Step Challenge program is available in six account sizes: $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, and $200,000.

The 1 Step model has unlimited trading days, which means there is no deadline by which you must reach your profit target. You are encouraged to trade thoughtfully and at a pace that aligns with your strategy.

The profit target for the 1 Step model is 8% of your starting account balance. The targets must be achieved while adhering to all applicable drawdown and trading rules.

The 1 Step model features a 7% maximum static drawdown. The maximum drawdown is a fixed limit, meaning it does not adjust or trail as your account balance grows. This provides a clear and predictable risk boundary throughout your evaluation.

The daily drawdown limit is 3% for the 1 Step. This figure is calculated based on the highest balance or equity recorded at 5:00 PM EST each trading day. It is important to monitor your intraday exposure carefully to remain within this limit.

The default profit split is 80% in your favor. If you would like to increase your share, you can purchase the profit split add-on, which raises your split to up to 100%.

By default, payouts on Funded Accounts follow a bi-weekly cycle. If you would prefer more flexibility, you can purchase the On Demand Payout add-on, which lets you request a withdrawal at your convenience once you have met all eligibility requirements, rather than waiting for a predetermined payout date.

The 1 Step model requires a minimum of 4 profitable trading days. A trading day is considered profitable when your account generates at least 0.5% profit relative to the account balance. This minimum ensures that traders demonstrate consistency rather than relying on a single large trade.

The 2-Minute Rule requires every trade opened to remain open for at least two minutes before it is closed. This applies across the entire lifecycle of the account, during the Challenge phase and again once the account is Funded. How violations are enforced:

1st violation: The trader's profit split is cut to 50%, regardless of whether the account is in the Challenge phase or the Funded phase. Instead of the usual 80% or higher, the trader will only retain 50% of profits generated going forward on that account until the matter is resolveddd.

2nd violation: The account is hard breached, meaning it is closed for rule non-compliance. This applies whether the violation happens during the Challenge phase or the Funded phase.

Yes. Once your account transitions to the funded phase, a 30% Consistency Rule takes effect. This means that no single trading day's profit may exceed 30% of your total accumulated profit for the payout period. This rule is designed to encourage steady, disciplined trading. Please note that the Consistency Rule does not apply during the Challenge phase.

The maximum risk permitted on any single trade is 1.5% of your account balance. Exceeding this limit may result in profit adjustments, an account reset, or a hard breach. We encourage all traders to practice sound risk management at all times.

Yes, news trading is permitted; however, there are restrictions surrounding high-impact, Red Folder news events. Specifically, you may not open or close any trades within two minutes before or after a Red Folder event. This restriction is in place to account for the extreme volatility and potential slippage that often accompany major economic releases.

Yes, you are welcome to hold positions over the weekend. However, please be aware that doing so is entirely at your own risk. Market gaps between Friday's close and Sunday's open can result in significant price movements that may affect your positions and drawdown limits.

Violations are enforced differently during the Challenge and Funded stages. Challenge Stage: 2 Minute Rule violations: One violation will result in a 50% profit split. Two or more violations within a single evaluation phase will result in a hard breach and permanent account closure. Stop Loss and other soft-breach violations: No enforcement action will be taken for one to four Stop Loss violations when no other violations have occurred. However, accumulating five Stop Loss violations or five combined soft-breach violations will result in a hard breach and permanent account closure. Funded Stage: The first violation of any trading rule will result in a 50% profit split. A second violation of any kind, whether it relates to the same rule or a different rule, will result in a hard breach and permanent account closure. Our Payout Processing Team also reserves the right to apply profit adjustments, account resets, or other restrictions depending on the nature and severity of the violations.

Our 2 Step Challenge program is available in six account sizes: $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, and $200,000.

The 2 Step challenge offers unlimited trading days. There is no deadline to reach your profit targets, allowing you to trade at a pace that suits your strategy.

The profit target is 8% in Phase 1 and 6% in Phase 2. These targets must be met while staying within all drawdown and trading rule parameters.

The 2 Step model features a 12% maximum static drawdown. This is a fixed limit that does not change as your account balance increases.

The daily drawdown limit is 5%. This figure is calculated based on the highest balance or equity recorded at 5:00 PM EST each trading day.

The default profit split is 80% to the trader for both models. You have the option to upgrade to a 100% profit split by purchasing the profit split add-on.

By default, payouts on Funded Accounts follow a bi-weekly cycle. If you would prefer more flexibility, you can purchase the On Demand Payout add-on, which lets you request a withdrawal at your convenience once you have met all eligibility requirements, rather than waiting for a predetermined payout date.

A minimum of five trading days is required. A day is considered profitable when your account generates at least 0.5% profit relative to the account balance.

The 2-Minute Rule requires every trade opened to remain open for at least two minutes before it is closed. This applies across the entire lifecycle of the account, during the Challenge phase and again once the account is Funded. How violations are enforced:

1st violation: The trader's profit split is cut to 50%, regardless of whether the account is in the Challenge phase or the Funded phase. Instead of the usual 80% or higher, the trader will only retain 50% of profits generated going forward on that account until the matter is resolveddd.

2nd violation: The account is hard breached, meaning it is closed for rule non-compliance. This applies whether the violation happens during the Challenge phase or the Funded phase.

Yes. A 30% Consistency Rule applies once your account is funded. This means that no single trading day's profit may account for more than 30% of your total profit for the payout period. This rule does not apply during the Challenge phase.

The maximum risk per trade is 1.5% of your account balance. Exceeding this threshold may result in profit adjustments, an account reset, or a hard breach.

Yes, news trading is permitted with standard restrictions around Red Folder news events. You may not open or close trades within two minutes of a Red Folder event.

Yes, weekend holding is allowed at the trader's own risk. Please be mindful of potential market gaps that may occur between Friday's close and Sunday's open.

Instant Pro accounts carry a Daily Drawdown of 3% and an Overall Drawdown of 6%. Both limits are trailing, meaning they adjust upward as your account balance or equity reaches new highs. The Daily Drawdown is recalculated based on the highest balance or equity recorded at 5:00 PM EST each trading day, while the Overall Drawdown moves in step with the highest equity point your account has reached.

The maximum total allocation across all Instant Pro accounts for a single trader is $200,000. This cap applies to the combined balance of all Instant Pro accounts you hold simultaneously.

The default profit split is 90% to the trader. You can upgrade to a 100% profit split by purchasing the Profit Split Add-On.

Yes. A 15% Consistency Rule currently applies to Instant Pro accounts. This rule was introduced to address instances of gambling-style and high-frequency trading behavior, and it ensures that no single trading day's profit exceeds 15% of your total accumulated profit for the payout period.

Instant Pro accounts come with several specific rules to be aware of. Weekend holding is disallowed by default unless you purchase the Weekend Add-on. Your largest single loss must not exceed your largest single profit; failure to maintain this ratio may result in an account reset or penalty. Additionally, a Stop Loss is mandatory on every trade and must be in place before the trade is closed.

The 2-Minute Rule requires every trade opened to remain open for at least two minutes before it is closed. This applies across the entire lifecycle of the account. How violations are enforced:

1st violation: The trader's profit split is cut to 50%. Instead of the usual 80% or higher, the trader will only retain 50% of profits generated going forward on that account until the matter is resolveddd.

2nd violation: The account is hard breached, meaning it is closed for rule non-compliance.

Traders who have met all account requirements and achieved a profit of 2.5% or more may request a withdrawal at a time of their choosing. This provides maximum flexibility and ensures you can access your earnings when it is most convenient for you.

Violations are enforced differently during the Challenge and Funded stages. Challenge Stage: 2 Minute Rule violations: One violation will result in a 50% profit split. Two or more violations within a single evaluation phase will result in a hard breach and permanent account closure. Stop Loss and other soft-breach violations: No enforcement action will be taken for one to four Stop Loss violations when no other violations have occurred. However, accumulating five Stop Loss violations or five combined soft-breach violations will result in a hard breach and permanent account closure. Funded Stage: The first violation of any trading rule will result in a 50% profit split. A second violation of any kind, whether it relates to the same rule or a different rule, will result in a hard breach and permanent account closure. Our Payout Processing Team also reserves the right to apply profit adjustments, account resets, or other restrictions depending on the nature and severity of the violations.
