Evaluation & risk framework
Program rules & limits
Everything that governs your assessment in one place: performance targets, loss limits, session rules, instruments, sizing, and timelines — structured the same way as our instruments reference.
Important: Breaking a Critical rule (e.g. Daily loss limit, Maximum Loss Limit) disqualifies your evaluation immediately. Hitting the 4% Daily stipend cap triggers kill-switch: no new trades for that day.

Rules in detail
Each block expands the same items as the table above, with status colouring so you see what is mandatory, informational, or disqualifying.
Performance targets
Clear numeric targets and a minimum activity bar so evaluations reflect real engagement, not one lucky day.
- 1-Step Assessment: 10% performance target
- 2-Step Assessment: 10% (Phase 1) + 5% (Phase 2) performance targets
- Minimum active days: 5 days. A successful active day is counted when you have realized PnL of the day ≥ 0.5% of start-of-day equity.
Risk management
Daily loss ends the evaluation if breached. A 4% Daily gain cap curbs overexposure: reach it and kill-switch locks you out of new positions until the next session.
- Maximum Daily loss: 2% (1-Step) / 3% (2-Step) — based on floating PnL (includes open positions)Critical
- Maximum Daily stipend: 4% of floating PnL — to prevent overexposure. If you hit this cap, kill-switch mode turns on: you cannot open new positions for the rest of that active day (existing positions follow square-off rules).
- No overnight positions allowed
- Index Options: Buying call/puts allowed; Option selling currently not available
- Hedging is not allowedCritical
- Copy execution is not allowed. Copying positions from other users or external signals is prohibited.Critical
Session hours
Aligned with NSE cash and derivatives session; intraday discipline is part of the evaluation design.
- Market hours: 9:15 AM – 3:30 PM IST
- Order entry allowed: 9:15 AM – 3:15 PM IST
Position sizing
Caps concentration so a single symbol cannot dominate the account — risk stays distributed and measurable.
- Maximum position size: 70% of account
- Minimum position size: 1 lot
Evaluation period
Enough time to show consistency without dragging forever. Plan your calendar before you start the clock.
- 1-Step Challenge: Unlimited
- 2-Step Challenge: Unlimited
Stipends/Payouts
Guidelines regarding performance reward distributions, processing frequencies, limits, and eligibility criteria.
- Maximum Single Payout: A trader can withdraw a maximum of 40% of their available stipend/profit in a single payout request.
Stipend eligibility
Rules and criteria governing stipend processing and account validation.
- Stipends will only be processed if **all eligibility criteria** are successfully met. This includes: 1. The Pro Account must remain active and must not be breached, failed, or violated any account rules. 2. The minimum required trading days must be completed. 3. There must be no prohibited trading activities or rule violations associated with the account.
