The Instant Starter is a one-time account designed for traders who want to experience how instant funding works. It can only be purchased once per trader and allows for one payout only before the account is closed. Below is a complete overview of the rules, trading conditions, and payout requirements for the Instant Starter model. Profit Target With the Instant Starter , there is no profit target or evaluation phase. Traders receive immediate access to a funded account and can begin trading right away. Drawdown Limits Maximum Daily Loss The maximum daily loss is limited to 3% of the initial account balance . This value resets daily at 5pm EST and is calculated using the higher value between the account balance or equity at the time of the reset. We calculate daily drawdown as follows: Upon the 5pm Est day change, we will take the higher figure of either the account balance or account equity and subtract a fixed 3% of the initial balance from the higher value as the daily loss limit for the new day. It is the maximum amount of loss allowed within a single trading day, which the account will be breached when daily loss exceeds this level. ​ ​ Example 1: On a 5K account, if at 5pm EST you have an open trade with a floating profit of $100, your account equity will be $5,100. With a 3% daily drawdown, the equity cannot drop below $4,950 ($5,100 - $150 = $4,950) on the next trading day. ​ ​ Example 2: On a 5K account at 5pm EST you have an open trade with a floating loss of -$100, your account equity will be $4,900. Because your $5K balance is higher than your $4,900 equity, your daily drawdown limit of $150 will be calculated on a $5K balance. This means for the next trading day, the equity cannot drop below $4,850 ($5,000 - $150 = $4,850). ‍ ​ Example 3: If there are no open trades at 5pm EST, the daily drawdown will be 3% of whatever the closed balance is. Maximum Overall Drawdown (Trailing) Instant Starter Max drawdown will remain at 5% trailing of your Highest Watermark Closing Trade made. If your account reaches 5% of your starting balance your trailing Drawdown will lock in at your starting balance. ​ Once your Drawdown is locked in at your starting balance we add a fixed 1% buffer on the account. This way you cannot withdraw all the profit and breach your account. ​ Example 1: You have a 5k account. Your Daily drawdown is a fixed 3% and your Max Trailing is 5%. Your Daily drawdown level is $4,850 and your Max trailing is $4,750. Once your account has made over 5% of the starting balance your Trailing now locks in at $5,000. It no longer trails. Drawdown includes profits and losses from closed positions, swap fees and commissions ​ Example 2: You start out with a 5k account. Your Daily drawdown is 3% and your Max Trailing is 5%. Your Daily drawdown level is $4,850 and your Max Trailing is $4,750. Lets say you make $250 profit. This puts your account at $5,250. The next day your Daily drawdown will be $5,250- $150 = $5,100. Your Max trailing drawdown is $5,250-$250 = $5,000. Your new Max trailing drawdown is $5,000 because it trails from your highest recorded balance which was $5,250. ​ Daily drawdown will reset each Day at 5PM EST. Max Trailing will always be from Highest recorded balance unless you achieve 5% from your starting balance. Minimum Trading Days To pass the evaluation, traders must complete at least 5 trading days . A trading day is counted on any day where at least 0.5% profit is achieved. The trading days do not need to be consecutive . News Trading Rule News trading is allowed on Instant starter ​ Stop Loss Rules Stop Loss is not mandatory, but traders are fully responsible for managing their risk and staying within the account rules at all times. Can I use copy trading or trade copiers? Blue Guardian does not provide a built-in copy trading system, but traders may use third-party trade copier software as long as it complies with our rules. Allowed: Copy trading between your own Blue Guardian accounts Copy trading between your own Evaluation and Funded accounts Copy trading between your Blue Guardian account and your own external accounts Not Allowed: Copying trades from another trader’s account Using trade copiers with accounts not legally owned by you Allowing third parties to manage or execute trades on your behalf All copied trades must only occur between accounts legally owned by the same account holder . Expert Advisors (EAs) EAs are allowed.

If you are found misusing these services in violation of your contract or our Terms of Use, your account will be failed and terminated. Tick Scalping The minimum holding time is 2 minutes. If a trade is closed in under 2 minutes, it may be flagged for tick scalping, which is against our trading rules. Can I hold overnight & trade over weekends? We have no restrictions on holding trades over night or the weekend on all account types. Consistency Rules On Instant Starter account a consistency rule of 15% applies. This stipulates, one trading day can not be greater than or equal to 15% of the total profits made. When the profits of one trading day equals or is greater than 15% of total profits made that payout period, the PAYOUT REQUEST button will be unavailable until the highest profit trading day falls below 15% of total profits made on that account within that particular period. ​ ​ What if I make more than 15% of my total PnL in one day? Will that breach my account? ​ Your account will not be breached/terminated if you violate the 15% rule. However, you are required to continue trading and make more profits until the highest profit trading day falls below 15% of total profits. For example, if you make $1,000 in one trading day, you will at least need to reach $6,666 in total profits within that period in order to request a payout. ​ What is the Guardian Shield? Our analysis shows that exceeding the Maximum Daily Drawdown is the main cause of account breaches, accounting for over 73% of all breaches. Our most profitable traders are those who cut losses quickly and let winning trades run. The Guardian Shield encourages proper risk management for consistent profitability. ​ ​ Instant Accounts: ​ If your PnL on open trades reaches a 1% loss, Guardian Shield will, in most cases, automatically close all open trades for all symbols. This is a soft breach, and you may immediately begin trading afterward. ​ ‍ Example: ‍ You have a balance of $5,000 funded account and 3 open trades. Your open PnL reaches a total loss of $50 (1%). The Guardian Shield will automatically close all trades. You can continue trading as you like afterwards. ​ Guardian Shield is an important risk management tool that helps prevent traders from blowing their funded accounts, and ultimately helps create more consistent profits with increased risk management. ​ ​ Guardian Shield Breach Consequences: • 1st Breach: Profit split reduced to 50%. • 2nd Breach: The account is permanently breached. ​ ​ Important Notice: The Guardian Shield does not reset once triggered and the profit split cannot be reinstated.

​ Quick Overview Profit Target: None (Instant acess) Maximum Daily Drawdown: 3% of initial balance Maximum Overall Drawdown: 6% (trailing) Minimum Trading Days: 5 profitable days Profit Split: 80% (Optional 90% add-on available) Payout Frequency: Instant Payout (On-demand) Minimum Withdrawal: $100 via Crypto | $500 via Rise Consistency : 20% News Trading: Allowed during challenge phases | Restricted 5 minutes before and after around high-impact news on funded accounts Tick Scalping Rule: Minimum holding time of 2 minutes Overnight & Weekend Holding: Allowed Expert Advisors (EAs): Allowed Copy Trading: Allowed only between accounts legally owned by you Guardian Shield (Funded Only): Auto-closes trades at 1% floating loss Payout Processing: Within 24 business hours Overview of Instant account rules Blue Guardian’s Instant Account gives traders immediate access to a funded account with no evaluation phase , allowing you to start trading right away while following all trading rules and risk management requirements. Below is a complete overview of the rules, trading conditions, and payout requirements for the Instant model. Profit Target With the Instant Account , there is no profit target or evaluation phase. Traders receive immediate access to a funded account and can begin trading right away. To begin trading, traders are only required to sign their Trader Agreement/Contract once the account is issued. Drawdown Limits Maximum Daily Loss The maximum daily loss is limited to 3% of the initial account balance . This value resets daily at 5pm EST and is calculated using the higher value between the account balance or equity at the time of the reset. We calculate daily drawdown as follows: Upon the 5pm Est day change, we will take the higher figure of either the account balance or account equity and subtract a fixed 3% of the initial balance from the higher value as the daily loss limit for the new day. It is the maximum amount of loss allowed within a single trading day, which the account will be breached when daily loss exceeds this level. ​ ​ Example 1: On a 100K Account, if at 5pm EST you have an open trade with a floating profit of $2,000, your account equity will be 102K. With a 3% daily drawdown, the equity cannot drop below $97,000 ($102,000 - $3,000 = $99,000) on the next trading day. ​ ​ Example 2: If on a 100K Account at 5pm EST you have an open trade with a floating loss of -$2,000, your account equity will be $98,000. Because your $100K balance is higher than your $98,000 equity, your daily drawdown limit of $3,000 will be calculated on a $100K balance. This means for the next trading day, the equity cannot drop below $97,000 ($100,000 - $3000 = $97,000). ‍ ​ Example 3: If there are no open trades at 5pm EST, the daily drawdown will be 3% of whatever the closed balance is. Maximum Overall Drawdown (Trailing) Instant maximum drawdown will remain at 6% trailing of your Highest Watermark Closing Trade made. If your account reaches 6% of your Initial balance your trailing Drawdown will lock in at your starting balance. ​ Once your Drawdown is locked in at your starting balance we add a fixed 1% buffer on the account. This way you cannot withdraw all the profit and breach your account. ​ Example 1: You have a 100k account. Your Daily drawdown is a fixed 3% and your Max Trailing is 6%. Your Daily drawdown level is $97,000 and your Max trailing is $94,000. If you make $8,000 profit, once your account has made over 6% of the Initial balance your Trailing now locks in at $100,000. It no longer trails. Drawdown includes profits and losses from closed positions, swap fees and commissions ‍ Example 2: You start out with a 100k account. Your Daily drawdown is 3% and your Max Trailing is 6%. Your Daily drawdown level is $97,000 and your Max Trailing is $94,000. Lets say you make $5,000 profit. This puts your account at $105,000. The next day your Daily drawdown will be $105,000- $3000 = $102,000. Your Max trailing drawdown is $105,000-$6,000 = $99,000. Your new Max trailing drawdown is $99,000 because it trails from your highest recorded balance which was $105,000. ​ Daily drawdown will reset each Day at 5PM EST. Max Trailing will always be from Highest recorded balance unless you achieve 6% from your Initial balance. Minimum Trading Days The minimum trading days is 5 to request payout. ​ A trading day is counted on any day where at least 0.5% profit is achieved. The trading days do not need to be consecutive .

Will that breach my account? ​ Your account will not be breached/terminated if you violate the 20% rule. However, you are required to continue trading and make more profits until the highest profit trading day falls below 20% of total profits.

These changes are permanent and cannot be reversed. Withdrawal Buffer Rules Instant Standard includes a 1% withdrawal buffer , which is activated once the account reaches 6% profit and the trailing drawdown locks at breakeven. Once the account reaches 6% profit , a 1% buffer of the initial balance must remain in the account when requesting a payout. Key points: 🔹 Minimum withdrawal amount: $100 🔹 Traders are not required to reach 6% profit before requesting a payout. Payouts can be requested at any time, provided all withdrawal rules are met. This buffer is in place to prevent traders from withdrawing the full available drawdown and unintentionally breaching their account. How does Instant Drawdown affect payouts? On Instant accounts, the Maximum Drawdown is a 6% trailing drawdown based on your highest closed balance (High Watermark) . Once your account reaches 6% profit from the initial balance, the trailing drawdown will lock at your starting balance . At this stage, a 1% fixed buffer applies, meaning you cannot withdraw all profits and leave the account at the locked drawdown level. Examples: Example 1 You start with a $100,000 account. Daily Drawdown: $96,000 Max Trailing Drawdown: $94,000 You make $8,000 profit and request a $6,000 payout . Since you achieved 6%, your max drawdown locks at $100,000 . After withdrawal, your balance is $102,000 , leaving you with only 2% buffer before breaching. Example 2 You make $15,000 profit and request an $8,000 payout . Your drawdown locks at $100,000 , and after payout your balance is $107,000 , leaving you with a $7,000 buffer . Example 3 You make exactly $6,000 profit . Because of the 1% fixed buffer rule , the maximum you can withdraw is $5,000 . This leaves your balance at $101,000 , while your drawdown remains locked at $100,000 . Rewards and Payout Structure Profit Split Funded traders receive a 80% profit split . Example: If a trader earns $5,000 in profit , the payout would be: Trader receives $4,000 Firm receives $1,000 Optional upgrade available at checkout: 90% Profit Split Add-On Withdrawal Condition & Eligibility Requirements To request a payout, traders must: Complete the minimum trading days requirement Maintain the account above the initial balance Consistency rule below 20%​ Have no rule violations ​ Ensure all positions are closed before submitting a payout request Payout Schedule Payout Frequency: Instant Payout Processing Time: 24 business hours Withdrawal Methods: Rise or Crypto Minimum Withdrawl : $100 via crypto and $500 via rise $300k and $400k Instant Funded Account Rules For Instant Funded accounts of $300,000 and $400,000, the following special rules apply: ​ ​ Consistency Rule: ​ 15% consistency rule is enforced. ​ ​ Initial Reward Cap: ​ The first two reward requests are capped at a maximum of $10,000 each applies to $200,000, $300,000 and $400,000. ​ After the first two rewards have been successfully processed, the $10,000 cap is fully lifted, and there are no further reward limits, provided all trading rules are respected.

Quick Overview Profit Target: 9% (Phase 1) Maximum Daily Drawdown: 4% of initial balance Maximum Overall Drawdown: 6% (trailing) Minimum Trading Days: 3 profitable days Profit Split: 85% (Optional 90% add-on available) Payout Frequency: Every 14 days (Optional 7-day payout add-on available) Minimum Withdrawal: $100 via Crypto | $500 via Rise News Trading: Allowed during challenge phases | Restricted 5 minutes before and after around high-impact news on funded accounts Tick Scalping Rule: Minimum holding time of 2 minutes Overnight & Weekend Holding: Allowed Expert Advisors (EAs): Allowed Copy Trading: Allowed only between accounts legally owned by you Guardian Shield (Funded Only): Auto-closes trades at 2% floating loss Payout Processing: Within 24 business hours Overview of 1 Step Standard account rules Blue Guardian’s 1 Step Standard Challenge allows traders to qualify for funded trading by completing a phase evaluation process, reaching the required profit targets while complying with all trading rules and risk management requirements. Below is a complete overview of the rules, trading conditions, and payout requirements for the 1 Step Standard model. Profit Target For accounts purchased from August 20th onwards , traders must achieve a 9% profit target in Phase 1 while respecting all trading rules and risk limits. ​ For accounts purchased before August 20th , the existing 10% profit target will continue to apply. ​ Once the applicable profit target is reached, the account will undergo a final review. After successful verification, the trader will move forward as a Guardian/Funded Trader . Drawdown Limits Maximum Daily Loss The maximum daily loss is limited to 4% of the initial account balance . This value resets daily at 5pm EST and is calculated using the higher value between the account balance or equity at the time of the reset. We calculate daily drawdown as follows: Upon the 5pm Est day change, we will take the higher figure of either the account balance or account equity and subtract a fixed 4% of the initial balance from the higher value as the daily loss limit for the new day. It is the maximum amount of loss allowed within a single trading day, which the account will be breached when daily loss exceeds this level. ​ ​ Example 1: On a 100K Account, if at 5pm EST you have an open trade with a floating profit of $2,000, your account equity will be 102K. With a 4% daily drawdown, the equity cannot drop below $98,000 ($102,000 - $4,000 = $98,000) on the next trading day. ​ ​ Example 2: If on a 100K Account at 5pm EST you have an open trade with a floating loss of -$2,000, your account equity will be $98,000. Because your $100K balance is higher than your $98,000 equity, your daily drawdown limit of $4,000 will be calculated on a $100K balance. This means for the next trading day, the equity cannot drop below $96,000 ($100,000 - $4000 = $96,000). ‍ ​ Example 3: If there are no open trades at 5pm EST, the daily drawdown will be 4% of the initial balance is. Maximum Overall Drawdown (Trailing) 1 step standard maximum drawdown will remain at 6% trailing of your Highest Watermark Closing Trade made. If your account reaches 6% of your Initial balance your trailing Drawdown will lock in at your starting balance. ​ Once your Drawdown is locked in at your starting balance we add a fixed 1% buffer on the account. This way you cannot withdraw all the profit and breach your account. ​ Example 1: You have a 100k account. Your Daily drawdown is a fixed 4% and your Max Trailing is 6%. Your Daily drawdown level is $96,000 and your Max trailing is $94,000. If you make $8,000 profit, once your account has made over 6% of the Initial balance your Trailing now locks in at $100,000. It no longer trails. Drawdown includes profits and losses from closed positions, swap fees and commissions ‍ Example 2: You start out with a 100k account. Your Daily drawdown is 4% and your Max Trailing is 6%. Your Daily drawdown level is $96,000 and your Max Trailing is $94,000. Lets say you make $5,000 profit. This puts your account at $105,000. The next day your Daily drawdown will be $105,000- $4000 = $101,000. Your Max trailing drawdown is $105,000-$6,000 = $99,000. Your new Max trailing drawdown is $99,000 because it trails from your highest recorded balance which was $105,000. ​ Daily drawdown will reset each Day at 5PM EST. Max Trailing will always be from Highest recorded balance unless you achieve 6% from your Initial balance. Minimum Trading Days To pass the evaluation, traders must complete at least 3 trading days . A trading day is counted on any day where at least 0.5% profit is achieved. The trading days do not need to be consecutive .

Once the account reaches 6% profit , a 1% buffer of the initial balance must remain in the account when requesting a payout. Key points: 🔹 Minimum withdrawal amount: $100 🔹 Traders are not required to reach 6% profit before requesting a payout. Payouts can be requested at any time, provided all withdrawal rules are met.

After withdrawal, your balance is $102,000 , leaving you with only 2% buffer before breaching. Example 2 You make $15,000 profit and request an $8,000 payout . Your drawdown locks at $100,000 , and after payout your balance is $107,000 , leaving you with a $7,000 buffer . Example 3 You make exactly $6,000 profit . Because of the 1% fixed buffer rule , the maximum you can withdraw is $5,000 . This leaves your balance at $101,000 , while your drawdown remains locked at $100,000 . Rewards and Payout Structure Profit Split Funded traders receive a 85% profit split . Example: If a trader earns $5,000 in profit , the payout would be: Trader receives $4,250 Firm receives $700 Optional upgrade available at checkout: 90% Profit Split Add-On Withdrawal Condition & Eligibility Requirements To request a payout, traders must: Complete the minimum trading days requirement Maintain the account above the initial balance ​ Have no rule violations ​ Ensure all positions are closed before submitting a payout request Payout Schedule Payout Frequency: Every 14 days Processing Time: 24 business hours Withdrawal Methods: Rise or Crypto Minimum Withdrawl : $100 via crypto and $500 via rise Optional add-on: 7 Days payout add-on - Allows you to request payouts every 7 days instead of the standard 14-day cycle.

Below is a complete overview of the rules, trading conditions, and payout requirements for the 1 Step pro model. Profit Target Traders must achieve a 10% profit target on phase 1 while respecting all trading rules and risk limits. ​ Once the target is reached, the account will undergo a final review . After successful verification, the trader will move forward as a Guardian/ Funded Trader . Drawdown Limits Maximum Daily Loss The maximum daily loss is limited to 3% of the initial account balance . This value resets daily at 5pm EST and is calculated using the higher value between the account balance or equity at the time of the reset. We calculate daily drawdown as follows: Upon the 5pm Est day change, we will take the higher figure of either the account balance or account equity and subtract a fixed 3% of the initial balance from the higher value as the daily loss limit for the new day. It is the maximum amount of loss allowed within a single trading day, which the account will be breached when daily loss exceeds this level. ​ ​ Example 1: On a 100K Account, if at 5pm EST you have an open trade with a floating profit of $2,000, your account equity will be 102K. With a 3% daily drawdown, the equity cannot drop below $97,000 ($102,000 - $3,000 = $99,000) on the next trading day. ​ ​ Example 2: If on a 100K Account at 5pm EST you have an open trade with a floating loss of -$2,000, your account equity will be $98,000. Because your $100K balance is higher than your $98,000 equity, your daily drawdown limit of $3,000 will be calculated on a $100K balance. This means for the next trading day, the equity cannot drop below $97,000 ($100,000 - $3000 = $97,000). ‍ ​ Example 3: If there are no open trades at 5pm EST, the daily drawdown will be 3% of whatever the closed balance is. Maximum Overall Drawdown (Static) The maximum total loss allowed in 1 Step pro account is 6%. ‍ ​ Example using a $100,000 account: Max total loss is 6% of your initial balance = $6,000. Your account equity including unrealized/floating positions must not hit/exceed below $94,000. Minimum Trading Days To pass the evaluation, traders must complete at least 3 trading days . A trading day is counted on any day where at least 0.5% profit is achieved. The trading days do not need to be consecutive .

Because your $100K balance is higher than your $98,000 equity, your daily drawdown limit of $4,000 will be calculated on a $100K balance.

Maximum Overall Drawdown (Trailing) 2 Step Pro maximum drawdown will remain at 10% trailing of your Highest Watermark Closing Trade made. If your account reaches 10% of your Initial balance your trailing Drawdown will lock in at your starting balance. ​ Once your Drawdown is locked in at your starting balance we add a fixed 1% buffer on the account. This way you cannot withdraw all the profit and breach your account. ​ Example 1: You have a 100k account. Your Daily drawdown is a fixed 4% and your Max Trailing is 10%. Your Daily drawdown level is $96,000 and your Max trailing is $90,000. If you make $12,000 profit, once your account has made over 6% of the Initial balance your Trailing now locks in at $100,000. It no longer trails. Drawdown includes profits and losses from closed positions, swap fees and commissions ‍ Example 2: You start out with a 100k account. Your Daily drawdown is 4% and your Max Trailing is 10%. Your Daily drawdown level is $96,000 and your Max Trailing is $90,000. Lets say you make $5,000 profit. This puts your account at $105,000. The next day your Daily drawdown will be $105,000- $4000 = $101,000. Your Max trailing drawdown is $105,000-$10,000 = $95,000. Your new Max trailing drawdown is $95,000 because it trails from your highest recorded balance which was $105,000. ​ Daily drawdown will reset each Day at 5PM EST. Max Trailing will always be from Highest recorded balance unless you achieve 10% from your Initial balance. Minimum Trading Days To pass the evaluation, traders must complete at least 4 trading days . A trading day is counted on any day where at least 0.5% profit is achieved.

These changes are permanent and cannot be reversed. Withdrawal Buffer Rules 2 step pro includes a 1% withdrawal buffer , which is activated once the account reaches 10% profit and the trailing drawdown locks at breakeven. Once the account reaches 10% profit , a 1% buffer of the initial balance must remain in the account when requesting a payout. Key points: 🔹 Minimum withdrawal amount: $100 🔹 Traders are not required to reach 10% profit before requesting a payout. Payouts can be requested at any time, provided all withdrawal rules are met. This buffer is in place to prevent traders from withdrawing the full available drawdown and unintentionally breaching their account. How does 2 Step pro Drawdown affect payouts? On 2 step pro accounts, the Maximum Drawdown is a 10% trailing drawdown based on your highest closed balance (High Watermark) . Once your account reaches 10% profit from the initial balance, the trailing drawdown will lock at your starting balance . At this stage, a 1% fixed buffer applies, meaning you cannot withdraw all profits and leave the account at the locked drawdown level. Examples: Example 1 You start with a $100,000 account. Daily Drawdown: $96,000 Max Trailing Drawdown: $90,000 You make $12,000 profit and request a $10,000 payout . Since you achieved 10%, your max drawdown locks at $100,000 . After withdrawal, your balance is $102,000 , leaving you with only 2% buffer before breaching. Example 2 You make $20,000 profit and request an $13,000 payout . Your drawdown locks at $100,000 , and after payout your balance is $107,000 , leaving you with a $7,000 buffer . Example 3 You make exactly $10,000 profit . Because of the 1% fixed buffer rule , the maximum you can withdraw is $9,000 . This leaves your balance at $101,000 , while your drawdown remains locked at $100,000 . Rewards and Payout Structure Profit Split Funded traders receive a 85% profit split . Example: If a trader earns $5,000 in profit , the payout would be: Trader receives $4,250 Firm receives $750 Optional upgrade available at checkout: 90% Profit Split Add-On Withdrawal Condition & Eligibility Requirements To request a payout, traders must: Complete the minimum trading days requirement Maintain the account above the initial balance must be below 25% consistency rule​ Have no rule violations Ensure all positions are closed before submitting a payout request Payout Schedule Payout Frequency: Every 14 days Processing Time: 24 business hours Withdrawal Methods: Rise or Crypto Minimum Withdrawl : $100 via crypto and $500 via rise Optional add-on: 7 Days payout add-on - Allows you to request payouts every 7 days instead of the standard 14-day cycle.

We calculate daily drawdown as follows: Upon the 5pm Est day change, we will take the higher figure of either the account balance or account equity and subtract a fixed 4% of the initial balance from the higher value as the daily loss limit for the new day. It is the maximum amount of loss allowed within a single trading day, which the account will be breached when daily loss exceeds this level. ​ ​ Example 1: On a 100K Account, if at 5pm EST you have an open trade with a floating profit of $2,000, your account equity will be 102K. With a 4% daily drawdown, the equity cannot drop below $98,000 ($102,000 - $4,000 = $98,000) on the next trading day. ​ ​ Example 2: If on a 100K Account at 5pm EST you have an open trade with a floating loss of -$2,000, your account equity will be $98,000. Because your $100K balance is higher than your $98,000 equity, your daily drawdown limit of $4,000 will be calculated on a $100K balance. This means for the next trading day, the equity cannot drop below $96,000 ($100,000 - $4000 = $96,000). ‍ ​ Example 3: If there are no open trades at 5pm EST, the daily drawdown will be 4% of the initial balance is. Maximum Overall Drawdown (Static) The maximum total loss allowed in 3Step Standard account is 8%. ‍ ​ Example using a $100,000 account: Max total loss is 8% of your initial balance = $8,000. Your account equity including unrealized/floating positions must not hit/exceed below $92,000. Minimum Trading Days To pass the evaluation, traders must complete at least 3 trading days .

This value resets daily at 5pm EST and is calculated using the higher value between the account balance or equity at the time of the reset. We calculate daily drawdown as follows: Upon the 5pm Est day change, we will take the higher figure of either the account balance or account equity and subtract a fixed 4% of the initial balance from the higher value as the daily loss limit for the new day.

With a 4% daily drawdown, the equity cannot drop below $98,000 ($102,000 - $4,000 = $98,000) on the next trading day. ​ ​ Example 2: If on a 100K Account at 5pm EST you have an open trade with a floating loss of -$2,000, your account equity will be $98,000. Because your $100K balance is higher than your $98,000 equity, your daily drawdown limit of $4,000 will be calculated on a $100K balance. This means for the next trading day, the equity cannot drop below $96,000 ($100,000 - $4000 = $96,000). ‍ ​ Example 3: If there are no open trades at 5pm EST, the daily drawdown will be 4% of the initial balance is. Maximum Overall Drawdown (Trailing) BPNL maximum drawdown will remain at 8% trailing of your Highest Watermark Closing Trade made. If your account reaches 8% of your Initial balance your trailing Drawdown will lock in at your starting balance. ​ Once your Drawdown is locked in at your starting balance we add a fixed 1% buffer on the account. This way you cannot withdraw all the profit and breach your account. ​ Example 1: You have a 100k account. Your Daily drawdown is a fixed 4% and your Max Trailing is 8%. Your Daily drawdown level is $96,000 and your Max trailing is $92,000. If you make $12,000 profit, once your account has made over 8% of the Initial balance your Trailing now locks in at $100,000. It no longer trails. Drawdown includes profits and losses from closed positions, swap fees and commissions ‍ Example 2: You start out with a 100k account. Your Daily drawdown is 4% and your Max Trailing is 8%. Your Daily drawdown level is $96,000 and your Max Trailing is $92,000. Lets say you make $5,000 profit. This puts your account at $105,000. The next day your Daily drawdown will be $105,000- $4000 = $101,000. Your Max trailing drawdown is $105,000-$8,000 = $97,000. Your new Max trailing drawdown is $97,000 because it trails from your highest recorded balance which was $105,000. ​ Daily drawdown will reset each Day at 5PM EST. Max Trailing will always be from Highest recorded balance unless you achieve 6% from your Initial balance. Minimum Trading Days There is no minimum trading day requirement to pass the evaluation, the minimum trading day requirement only applies to Funded Accounts before a payout can be requested.

These changes are permanent and cannot be reversed. Withdrawal Buffer Rules BPNL includes a 1% withdrawal buffer , which is activated once the account reaches 8% profit and the trailing drawdown locks at breakeven. Once the account reaches 8% profit , a 1% buffer of the initial balance must remain in the account when requesting a payout. Key points: 🔹 Minimum withdrawal amount: $100 🔹 Traders are not required to reach 8% profit before requesting a payout. Payouts can be requested at any time, provided all withdrawal rules are met. This buffer is in place to prevent traders from withdrawing the full available drawdown and unintentionally breaching their account. How does BPNL Drawdown affect payouts? On BPNL accounts, the Maximum Drawdown is a 8% trailing drawdown based on your highest closed balance (High Watermark) . Once your account reaches 8% profit from the initial balance, the trailing drawdown will lock at your starting balance . At this stage, a 1% fixed buffer applies, meaning you cannot withdraw all profits and leave the account at the locked drawdown level. Examples: Example 1 You start with a $100,000 account. Daily Drawdown: $96,000 Max Trailing Drawdown: $92,000 You make $10,000 profit and request a $8,000 payout . Since you achieved 8%, your max drawdown locks at $100,000 . After withdrawal, your balance is $102,000 , leaving you with only 2% buffer before breaching. Example 2 You make $20,000 profit and request an $13,000 payout . Your drawdown locks at $100,000 , and after payout your balance is $107,000 , leaving you with a $7,000 buffer . Example 3 You make exactly $8,000 profit . Because of the 1% fixed buffer rule , the maximum you can withdraw is $7,000 . This leaves your balance at $101,000 , while your drawdown remains locked at $100,000 . What is the Activation Fee? The Activation Fee is a one-time fee required after successfully passing the challenge. The fee depends on the account size you selected. Account Size Activation Fee $5K $52 $10K $98 $25K $202 $50K $352 $100K $686 $200K $1,033 Once you successfully pass the challenge, you will be required to pay the applicable Activation Fee before your funded account can be activated.

Because your $100K balance is higher than your $98,000 equity, your daily drawdown limit of $3,000 will be calculated on a $100K balance. This means for the next trading day, the equity cannot drop below $97,000 ($100,000 - $3000 = $97,000). ‍ ​ Example 3: If there are no open trades at 5pm EST, the daily drawdown will be 3% of the initial balance is. Maximum Overall Drawdown (Static) The maximum total loss allowed in 2 Step Nano account is 10%. ‍ ​ Example using a $100,000 account: Max total loss is 10% of your initial balance = $10,000. Your account equity including unrealized/floating positions must not hit/exceed below $90,000. Minimum Trading Days There is no minimum trading day requirement for either the Evaluation (Challenge) or Funded Account . Traders can pass the evaluation or become eligible for a payout as soon as all other applicable requirements and trading rules are met. Consistency Rule A 50% consistency rule applies to Funded Accounts only . This means that your highest profit from a single trading day cannot be equal to or greater than 50% of your total profits during that payout period. If your highest profit day is equal to or greater than 50%, your account will not be breached or terminated . You will simply need to continue trading and generate additional profits until your highest profit day falls below 50% of your total profits. Example: If you make $1,000 in one trading day, your total profit must exceed $2,000 before you meet the 50% consistency requirement and become eligible to request a payout.

We calculate daily drawdown as follows: Upon the 5pm Est day change, we will take the higher figure of either the account balance or account equity and subtract a fixed 4% of the initial balance from the higher value as the daily loss limit for the new day. ​ ​ Example 1: On a 100K Account, if at 5pm EST you have an open trade with a floating profit of $2,000, your account equity will be 102K. With a 4% daily drawdown, the equity cannot drop below $98,000 ($102,000 - $4,000 = $98,000) on the next trading day. ​ ​ Example 2: If on a 100K Account at 5pm EST you have an open trade with a floating loss of -$2,000, your account equity will be $98,000. Because your $100K balance is higher than your $98,000 equity, your daily drawdown limit of $4,000 will be calculated on a $100K balance. This means for the next trading day, the equity cannot drop below $96,000 ($100,000 - $4000 = $96,000). ‍ ​ Example 3: If there are no open trades at 5pm EST, the daily drawdown will be 4% of the initial balance ​ Maximum Overall Drawdown ​ The maximum Drawdown allowed in your account is 8%. ‍ ​ Example using a $100,000 account: Max total loss is 8% of your initial balance = $8,000. Your account equity including unrealized/floating positions must not hit/exceed below $92,000. ​ ​ Expert Advisors (EAs) and Trade Copier Restrictions ​ The use of EAs and trade copiers is prohibited in the competitions. ​ ​ News Trading ​ News trading is allowed, but participants are advised to use proper risk management and be mindful of high volatility events, such as slippage. ​ Lot Size Rules ​ There are no lot size restrictions in the competition, your leverage and margin is your limit. ​ ​ Leverage ​ - Fx : 1:100 - Indices : 1:20 - Commodities : 1:20 - Crypto : 1:2 ​ ​ Can I hold overnight & trade over weekends? ​ We have no restrictions on holding trades over night or the weekend and you can trade trade crypto over the weekend. ​ ​ Disqualification ​ If you see “DQ” on your dashboard, it means your account has violated one or more competition rules, and you are no longer eligible to participate. Please note that Support cannot reverse the disqualification. However, you are welcome to register for the next month’s competition. ​ ​ How to Login to Your Competition Account ​ To access your Match-Trader Competition account, follow these steps: 1.

Yes, you may purchase and trade as many Challenge accounts as you wish. There is no limit to the number of Challenge accounts you can own or trade simultaneously. The maximum allocation limit only applies to Funded Accounts, including Instant Funded accounts. Your total active funded allocation cannot exceed $400,000 at any given time. If qualifying for or purchasing an additional Funded or Instant Funded account would cause you to exceed the maximum allocation, the additional account will remain inactive until your active funded allocation falls below the limit. Example If you already have $400,000 in active Funded and Instant Funded accounts combined, and you either pass another Challenge or purchase another Instant Funded account, the additional account will remain inactive until one or more of your active funded accounts has been closed, breached, or otherwise no longer counts toward your maximum allocation. What about inactivity? The standard inactivity rules still apply to all accounts. However, an exception is made for accounts that are intentionally left inactive because they are waiting in the maximum allocation queue. If one of these queued accounts is breached solely due to inactivity while awaiting activation, our team will reactivate the account. If you prefer to avoid this altogether, you can simply place a minimum trade (0.01 lots) on each queued account at least once every 30 days to keep it active while it waits. Note : This exception applies only to accounts waiting in the maximum allocation queue. Inactivity breaches for all other accounts remain subject to our standard rules.
