Plans and Core Rules
Your account size, purchase price, profit targets for Challenge Phases 1 and 2, and minimum valid trading days are shown on the purchase page for your plan. Account size is used to calculate targets and risk limits; it is not cash you can withdraw.
| Rule | 2-Step |
|---|---|
| Challenge phases | Meet the requirements in each of two phases, then enter review |
| Minimum valid trading days | Set by the purchased plan and counted separately in each phase |
| Daily executed notional threshold | At least 20% of account size |
| Minimum holding time | 10 seconds; for a valid trading day, at least one trade that day must be held for more than 10 seconds |
| Maximum daily loss | 5% of initial account size |
| Maximum account loss | 8%–10% of initial account size, depending on the purchased plan |
| Maximum holding time | No more than 7 calendar days for a single position |
| Trader's share of funded account profits | 80% |
Calculating Valid Trading Days
Valid trading days use UTC+8 calendar days. A day counts only when both conditions below are met:
- At least one trade that day is held for more than 10 seconds; and
- The total notional value of filled orders that open, add to, reduce, or close positions reaches at least 20% of account size.
Unfilled, canceled, and untriggered orders do not count. The daily notional total starts again at 00:00. An overnight position does not automatically make the next day valid, and each challenge phase accumulates valid days separately.
For a 10,000 USDT account, filled notional value must total at least 2,000 USDT and at least one trade must be held for more than 10 seconds. Meeting only one condition does not count. Trading above the threshold on the same day still produces only one valid trading day.
Loss Limits and Overnight Positions
Maximum daily loss is 5% of initial account size; reaching the limit triggers the rule. Maximum account loss is a fixed threshold based on your plan's 8%–10% percentage:
Maximum account loss threshold =
initial account size − (initial account size × plan loss percentage)The rule is triggered if real-time account equity reaches or falls below the threshold. It does not reset each day or move up when the account makes a profit.
For a 10,000 USDT account, an 8% plan has a threshold of 9,200 USDT; a 10% plan has a threshold of 9,000 USDT. Use the percentage on your purchased plan, not an example percentage.
Loss-Limit and Overnight Examples
The examples below use an initial account size of 10,000 USDT and a maximum daily loss of 500 USDT. Trading fees and settled funding fees are already included in the figures.
Unrealized loss reaches the daily limit
The account has a realized net loss of 300 USDT today and an unrealized loss of 200 USDT on its open positions:
Today's combined result = −300 − 200 = −500 USDTThe maximum daily loss has been reached. Equity is about 9,500 USDT. Even though this is still above the 9,200 USDT fixed threshold for an 8% plan, the daily limit triggers first.
Unrealized loss carries past 00:00
The previous day has a realized net loss of 100 USDT, and an open position has a 350 USDT unrealized loss. The position and price do not change at midnight:
| Time | Realized net P&L counted for the day | Unrealized P&L | Combined result | Daily loss room remaining |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Previous day, 23:59 | −100 | −350 | −450 | 50 USDT |
| After 00:00 | 0 | −350 | −350 | 150 USDT |
The position is not closed automatically, and the 350 USDT unrealized loss does not reset. If it grows to 500 USDT on the new day with no other same-day effects, the new day's daily limit is reached.
Cumulative loss reaches the fixed threshold first
Assume the plan has an 8% maximum account loss and a fixed threshold of 9,200 USDT. Losses from earlier days total 600 USDT, and the account loses another 200 USDT today. Today's loss is below the 500 USDT daily limit, but equity has fallen to 9,200 USDT, so the maximum account loss rule is triggered.
WARNING
Positions do not close automatically at 00:00 (UTC+8). The previous day's net realized P&L drops out of the new day's daily loss calculation, while unrealized P&L on open positions remains. An overnight unrealized loss may use up the new day's loss room immediately after midnight; unrealized profit also affects the room at that moment. An overnight position does not automatically make the next day a valid trading day. Executed notional value must qualify again.
A single position may be held for no more than 7 calendar days. Other limits on the number of positions and minimum holding time also apply. Check targets, loss percentages, and position limits in your account details before trading.
Inactive Accounts
The inactivity rule applies to both 2-Step challenge accounts and funded accounts. If there is no account activity for 15 consecutive days, the account is frozen and enters a 15-day appeal period. An approved appeal restores the account. If no appeal is submitted by the deadline, or the appeal is denied, the account is closed and reclaimed by the platform. See Account Status, Review, and Eligibility for the complete process.
Funded Account Payouts
The funded account's first valid trading day is Day 1. The first payout request can be made from 00:00 (UTC+8) on calendar Day 8. After that, at most one request may be made every 7 calendar days. At the time of a request, meet all applicable valid trading day and other conditions, close every position and open order, and request at least 20 USDT. See Payout Rules and Request Process for the full process and amount treatment.
How These Rules Affect You in Practice
- Profit targets by phase: Phase 1 and Phase 2 are assessed separately. Phase 2 starts with a newly initialized challenge account; Phase 1 profit does not carry over and cannot be paid out. See Profit Targets and Valid Trading Days.
- Valid trading days: logging in or carrying a position past midnight does not count by itself. A qualifying trade must be held for more than 10 seconds, and the day's executed notional across opening, adding, reducing, and closing orders must total at least 20% of account size. Each challenge phase counts its own days.
- Maximum daily loss: today's realized net P&L and unrealized P&L on all open positions are included. Profit realized today can add same-day room, but it stops acting as a daily buffer after 00:00 (UTC+8). Open-position P&L carries into the new day. See Maximum Daily Loss and Maximum Account Loss.
- Maximum account loss: the purchased plan sets a fixed 8%–10% threshold. It does not reset at midnight or rise with profits. Account equity can reach this threshold even when the daily limit has not been reached.
- Holding time: each position must be held for at least 10 seconds and no longer than 7 calendar days. Midnight does not close it; see Position and Holding Period Rules.
- Funded-account payouts: only funded-account profit can be requested. Timing, valid days, minimum amount, open positions, and open orders must all meet the applicable conditions.
