Additional Rules
Single-phase evaluation: Traders must reach a 10% profit target in one phase to advance to the funded account stage. On a $15,000 account, this means generating $1,500 in closed profits while respecting all drawdown rules.
Minimum profitable days: At least 3 valid trading days are required to pass the challenge and to be eligible for each payout in the funded stage. A valid day requires a minimum profit of 0.5% of the initial balance, meaning at least $75 profit per qualifying day on a $15,000 account.
Daily loss limit of 4%: On a $15,000 account, the maximum daily loss is $600. The threshold is calculated at 5:00 PM EST by taking the higher of balance or equity, then subtracting $600 (4% of initial balance). The dollar-value allowance stays fixed regardless of account growth.
Maximum drawdown of 6% static: The absolute floor is $14,100. Breach occurs if equity or balance reaches this level at any point including floating losses on a $15,000 account.
Static drawdown model: Both limits are calculated from the initial account balance and do not tighten as profits grow.
Leverage: Up to 1:100 Forex in evaluation, reduced to 1:50 in funded. Indices and Commodities 1:20 in evaluation, 1:10 in funded. Crypto 1:2 throughout.
Profit split: 80% default. Add-ons available: 100% profit split and on-demand first reward (40% split after 3 days of funded trading).
Payout frequency: Bi-weekly. First 2 payouts capped at 6% of initial balance ($900) or $10,000, whichever is lower.
Daily profit cap in funded stage: $3,000 per day. Excess is deducted, no breach triggered.
News trading: Permitted in evaluation. In funded stage, trades within 5 minutes before or after red folder news events are restricted, with profits capped at 1% ($150) per event.
EAs allowed with restrictions: Own-code EAs permitted. HFT, arbitrage, and commercial challenge-passing EAs prohibited. Copy trading banned.
Weekend and overnight holding: Permitted across all phases.
1.67:1 PT:DD ratio: With a 10% profit target and a 6% maximum drawdown, the challenge requires generating more profit than the total risk allowed — one of the more favorable ratios in GFT's lineup. However, the 4% daily limit means a single bad day can consume 67% of the entire maximum drawdown allowance.
Minimum day requirement creates a risk-after-target scenario: A trader who reaches the 10% target quickly must continue trading to complete 3 profitable days, exposing the account to additional risk after the financial goal is already met.
First payout cap at $900: On a $15,000 funded account, the first two payouts are capped at $900 each, regardless of profits generated. Full payout access only becomes available from the third payout onward.
Minimum profitable days: At least 3 valid trading days are required to pass the challenge and to be eligible for each payout in the funded stage. A valid day requires a minimum profit of 0.5% of the initial balance, meaning at least $75 profit per qualifying day on a $15,000 account.
