Evaluation & risk framework
Program trading rules
Everything that governs your challenge in one place: profit 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 profit cap triggers kill-switch: no new trades for that day.

Quick reference
Full rulebook
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.
Profit targets
Clear numeric targets and a minimum activity bar so evaluations reflect real engagement, not one lucky day.
- 1-Step Challenge: 10% profit target
- 2-Step Challenge: 8% + 5% profit targets
- Minimum trading days: 5 days
Risk management
Daily loss ends the evaluation if breached. A 4% Daily profit cap curbs overtrading: reach it and kill-switch locks you out of new trades until the next session.
- Maximum Daily loss: 2%Critical
- Maximum Daily profit: 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 only — Option selling (writing) not allowedCritical
- Hedging is not allowedCritical
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: 60 days
- 2-Step Challenge: 45 + 30 days
