Prop Firm Rules

In the prop trading industry, rules can vary significantly from one firm to another, depending on their risk management policies.

While there are some well-known common rules, such as restrictions on the use of Expert Advisors (EAs), High-Frequency Trading (HFT), latency arbitrage, and any trading activity that exploits platform inefficiencies, there are also firm-specific rules that traders need to consider.

Through extensive research into the terms and conditions of all listed prop trading firms, we have identified some major key rules that you should be aware of before joining any of these funded programs.

    • You have to pass KYC with FXIFY and their payment provider(Rise) to be onboarded.
    • When you request a withdrawal on 1 phase accounts the drawdown locks in at your initial starting balance.e.gYou start out with a 100k account. Your Daily drawdown is 5% and your Max Trailing is 6%. Your Daily drawdown level is $95,000 and your Max trailing is $94,000. Let’s say you make $6,000 profit. You request a withdrawal of $6,000. You will have failed your account because you left no buffer and your account has reached Max Drawdown. Please note we will still issue the full withdrawal however you will forfeit the account.
    • If multiple users are attached to the same CID, this could raise concerns for us related to prohibited trading activity/account management/KYC issues.

    · Consistency rule: Traders must show consistency in their results concerning trade length and lot size to meet the minimum trading days required for the specific programs. For instance,if a trader opens one position of 15 lots on one day and then six positions of 0.1 lot on six separate trading days, this will lead to failing the Ability Challenge.

    · Consistency score: Traders are required to have a score above 70 to be considered consistent. Scores between 50 and 70 will prompt a risk team review to decide if trading should continue until the score exceeds 70. If the score is below 50, trading must continue until it rises above 50. Traders who meet the profit target but not the consistency score must keep trading until they do.

    · Inactivity rule: Failure to engage in trading activity on your funded account for a consecutive one-month period will lead to the termination of your account due to inactivity.

    · Traders are allowed to trade majors and minor cross pairs, but it's not allowed to trade any exotic pair.

A trading day is defined as a day when a trade is executed with a lot size and hold time similar to your usual trades. For instance, if you typically trade 0.05 lots, then a trade with 0.02 lots would count. However, if you usually trade 20 lots, then a trade with 0.02 lots would not count. If you reduce your trade size to 5 lots, that would count, provided the trade duration is similar to your usual trades.
