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

Enough time to show consistency without dragging forever. Plan your calendar before you start the clock.
