Evaluation & risk framework

Program trading rules

Everything that governs your challenge in one place: stipend 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.

Stipend targets

Clear numeric targets and a minimum activity bar so evaluations reflect real engagement, not one lucky day.

  • 1-Step Challenge: 10% stipend target
  • 2-Step Challenge: 10% + 5% stipend targets
  • Minimum trading days: 5 days. A successful trading day is counted when you have realized PnL of the day ≥ 0.5% start-of day-equity

Risk management

Daily loss ends the evaluation if breached. A 4% Daily stipend cap curbs overtrading: reach it and kill-switch locks you out of new trades until the next session.

  • Maximum Daily loss: 2% (1-Step) / 3% (2-Step)Critical
  • Maximum Daily stipend: 4% — to prevent overtrading. If you hit this cap, kill-switch mode turns on: you cannot place new trades for the rest of that trading 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
  • Mirror Trading is not allowed. Copying trades from other users or external signals is prohibited.Critical

Trading hours & session

Aligned with NSE cash and derivatives session; intraday discipline is part of the evaluation design.

  • Market hours: 9:15 AM – 3:30 PM IST
  • Trading 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
