Account and Trading Rules

To pass the Challenge you must meet all of these at the same time. They apply identically to every account size.

Objective	Requirement
Profit target	8% of the initial account balance
Maximum daily loss	3% of the initial account balance
Maximum overall loss (static drawdown)	5% of the initial account balance
Consistency rule	No single trading day may account for more than 50% of your net profit (winning days minus losing days)
Minimum trading days	None
Time limit	None
Maximum risk per trade	None during the Challenge — your risk limit in this phase is the daily loss limit (3%)

Both loss limits are calculated on the initial account balance and do not trail your equity — that is what static drawdown means: the limit does not move up as the account grows.

The daily loss limit counts open and closed results together. If at any point during the day your combined losses reach 3% of the initial balance, the limit is breached — and a breach fails the Challenge even if the account is in overall profit. A trading day runs from server close to server close, at 00:00 UTC+0.

Meeting the numbers is not enough on its own: you must also comply with the trading rules, and close all trades and pending orders before the Challenge can be evaluated.

Funded accounts use different parameters — a 40% consistency rule and a maximum simultaneous risk per account — set out in the FTT Funded Account Agreement.

During the Challenge phase there are no minimum trading days.

You can complete the evaluation at your own pace as long as you respect all trading objectives and rules.

The daily loss limit is 3% of the initial account balance.

During the Challenge phase this is also your risk limit: there is no separate maximum risk per trade, so the daily loss limit is the cap that bounds your risk.

This cap is fixed throughout the Challenge — it does not move whether you are in profit or in drawdown. If at any point during the day combined losses (open and closed) exceed 3%, it is considered a daily loss rule violation and the Challenge is reset.

If you exceed the Daily Loss Limit, it is considered an account violation even if the total balance is in profit.

In that case, the account is breached and no payout can be requested from that account.

FTT Funded is governed by principles of integrity and transparency in trading. If a trader is found to have breached trading rules after qualifying for a Payout, the situation will be handled as follows:

Payout reduction: FTT Funded will apply a reduction to the Payout amount depending on the severity of the improper activity. This measure recognizes the effort and time the trader invested to reach eligibility.

Evaluation and measures: After the Payout, the trader's operations will be reviewed. Depending on the seriousness of the violation, the necessary actions will be implemented according to the terms and conditions of service.

Clarity and fairness: FTT Funded guarantees transparent communication with the trader, providing evidence in case any action is taken. All decisions are applied fairly and supported by evidence.

When a trader meets the profit target and respects all trading rules, they become eligible to receive a FTT Funded account.

The first step is to submit the required KYC documents. Once these are submitted and validated, the FTT Funded team will create the account within 24 to 48 hours.

You can have up to five different accounts in FTT Funded, regardless of the value of each account.

Yes. Copy trading between FTT Funded accounts is allowed.

All accounts must still respect the trading, risk, consistency, and payout rules.

If you purchase a Challenge and do not use it, the account may be deactivated after 1 month of inactivity.

No. The use of trading bots is not allowed in FTT Funded.

FTT Funded is committed to a fair trading environment. The following practices are prohibited:

• Hedging of any kind (individual or group)
• Exploits of any kind, including platform errors or demo server failures
• Opening or closing trades 5 minutes before or after high-impact news (you may keep trades open, but you may not open or close within that window)
• Minimum trade duration of 2 minutes
• Trading without a stop loss (SL) — you must place your SL within a maximum of 2 minutes after opening a trade
• Arbitrage, latency trading, tick scalping, and instant trading
• Excessive hyperactivity or exaggerated risk
• Account sharing
• Maximum simultaneous risk of 1% of the initial account capital — funded accounts only (no maximum applies during the Challenge)

What each of these terms means

These definitions are the ones we apply when reviewing an account, and they are the definitions referred to in the FTT Funded Account Agreement:

• Hedging — holding opposite positions (one buy and one sell) at the same time on the same symbol, or on symbols that are directly correlated, whether on the same account or across several accounts held by you or coordinated with another person.
• Instant trading — opening and closing a position in less than 2 minutes. This is the same threshold as the minimum trade duration: any trade closed in under 2 minutes is treated as instant trading.
• Tick scalping — a repeated pattern of a high number of very short-duration trades aimed at capturing minimal price movements or the spread, rather than a directional move. What we look at is the pattern across the account, not an isolated trade: a strategy whose results depend on execution speed rather than on market direction.
• Arbitrage — profiting from price differences between platforms, brokers, liquidity providers or correlated instruments, instead of from the movement of the instrument itself.
• Latency trading — using a faster or delayed price feed, or the delay of our own feed, to trade on a price that is already known to be outdated.
• Excessive hyperactivity — a volume of trades or of exposure that is disproportionate to your own usual pattern on this or any other account, in a way that transfers risk to us rather than reflecting a repeatable strategy.

Violations mean you lose the payout for the payout cycle in which the breach occurred, and may also result in warnings, leverage or risk limitations, or account cancellation depending on severity.

To prevent bad practices, a minimum withdrawal amount applies: 0.5% of your account size. The percentage is the rule — the table below is simply that rule applied to the standard account sizes:

Account size	Minimum withdrawal
$10k	$50
$25k	$125
$50k	$250
$100k	$500
$150k	$750

Maximum simultaneous risk. During the Challenge phase there is no maximum risk per trade — your risk limit in that phase is the daily loss limit. On funded accounts the maximum simultaneous risk is 1% of the initial account capital — not of the current balance. It is measured as the combined risk of all positions open at the same time in one symbol or in correlated symbols, taken as the maximum drawdown, realised or unrealised, of the positions belonging to the same trade idea.

Disciplined and responsible trading is essential at FTT Funded. Practices that resemble gambling — such as exaggerated risk per trade or trying to recover losses with disproportionate positions — do not align with sound risk management. This behavior introduces unnecessary volatility, increases financial risk for both the trader and the firm, and undermines long-term sustainability.

If this approach is not maintained, FTT Funded may take corrective measures, including:

• Formal warning highlighting the importance of responsible risk management. Once issued, any further violation may result in account cancellation.
• Reducing account leverage to enforce better risk control.
• Applying the maximum 1% simultaneous risk per account rule on funded accounts.

Yes, in FTT Funded you can do swing trading. However, it is not allowed to combine swing trading and day trading at the same time. You must choose one of the two styles and maintain it consistently throughout the account.
