Daily Drawdown: Example 1: Starting balance of $100,000, (Standard Trader Account) Max Drawdown: The max drawdown on any Ultimate Trader Evaluation is 12% of your initial account balance. This means your account equity cannot fall below 88% of the initial balance at any point. It is important to note that the max drawdown limit does not reset like the daily drawdown limit.
The daily drawdown is calculated as 5% of your start of day balance for the Standard Trader Account.
The daily drawdown is calculated as 6% of your start of day balance for the Ultimate Trader Account.
This calculation must include any floating losses, swaps and commission rates. This limit will be reset at midnight as per the server time.
You trade and secure a profit of +$2000, your account balance currently sits $102,000.
The following day your maximum daily loss must now not exceed 5% of that previous days balance ($102,000 - 5% = $96,900) $5,100 max daily loss.
Day 2 you trade and incur a loss of -$1000 bringing your account balance down to $101,000.
The following day your maximum daily loss must not exceed 5% of that previous days balance ($101,000 - 5% = $95,950) $5,050 max daily loss.
The max drawdown on any Standard Trader Evaluation is 10% of your initial account balance. This means your account equity cannot fall below 90% of the initial balance at any point.

Although we do not have a minimum duration a trade can take, we do not support scalping strategies where trades are entered and exited within seconds. For example: Tick trading is a trading strategy that aims to capitalise on small price movements in the market by executing a large number of trades within a brief period. Typically, tick charts are used to identify these price changes. The strategy involves opening and closing positions quickly to generate a small profit on each trade. However, due to the high risks associated with this approach, tick trading is not permitted.

Standard Trader Account:
No, we do not allow News trading on the standard trader accounts. We define news trading as any trade opened or closed within 10 mins before or 10 mins after any major high impact news event.
If a trade is opened outside of this window, you can leave the trade open subject to the position not being closed within 10 minutes before/after news.
High impact News events are classified as any "red folder” in the Forex Factory calendar. https://www.forexfactory.com/calendar/.Ultimate Trader Account:
Yes, news trading is allowed on the ultimate trader accounts.
Profit Consistency:
We apply a 50% profit consistency rule, therefore upon payout withdrawal request no single trade can account for more than 50% of your total withdrawable profit. For example: If by the end of a 30 day period, your account has a total profit of $1,000, then no single trade can account for more than 50% of $1,000, which is $500
Lot Size Consistency:
The lot size consistency rule is applied once a payout withdrawal request has been submitted, to ensure consistency within your trading. To satisfy the Lot Size Consistency Rule your average trade size is used to calculate your trading range. The range is determined by adding 100% to your average trade size to determine the maximum value and subtracting 75% to determine the minimum value.
Once a payout withdrawal request is submitted any trades breaching this rule will be considered a soft breach and we will remove the invalid trades while keeping account access.
Note: trades are aggregated when placed within a 30 second window into one position for both profit and lot consistency.
These consistency rules apply to both the standard trader account and the ultimate trader account.
Note: Consistency calculations are based on the initial entry of the position, partial profits will not alter the profit and lot consistency calculations
