Additional Rules

No evaluation phase: Traders receive immediate access to a funded account from day one with no challenge, no profit target, and no evaluation required.
No profit target: There is no minimum profit required to remain active or qualify for payouts.
No daily loss limit: Unlike all other GFT models, the Instant PRO has no daily drawdown restriction. Traders can lose any amount in a single session as long as the 4% trailing maximum drawdown from peak equity is not breached.
Trailing maximum drawdown of 4%: The sole risk boundary is a 4% trailing drawdown calculated from the highest equity ever recorded. On a $2,500 account, the maximum loss from peak equity at any time is $100. As the account grows, the trailing floor rises permanently with each new equity high.
Maximum loss per trade rule: If floating PnL drops below -2% of the account balance at any moment, the account is permanently closed. On a $2,500 account, a combined open trade loss of just -$50 results in immediate account closure. This is an extremely tight threshold requiring micro-lot sizing and constant intraday position monitoring.
Drawdown resets after payout: The trailing drawdown threshold resets to 4% below the current equity after each successful payout.
Minimum trading days: At least 5 valid trading days must be completed before requesting each payout. A valid day requires a minimum profit of 0.5% of the initial balance ($12.50 per qualifying day on a $2,500 account). Days do not need to be consecutive.
Consistency rule: No single trading day can account for 20% or more of total profits during a payout period. Violating this does not breach the account but blocks payouts until the ratio normalizes.
Profit split: 80% by default. A 100% profit split is available as an add-on at checkout.
Payout frequency: Bi-weekly (every 14 days).
News trading: Permitted with a 1% profit cap ($25) per high-impact news event for trades opened or closed within 5 minutes of the release. Losses from the same window count in full.
EAs allowed with restrictions: Own-code EAs permitted. HFT, arbitrage, and commercial EAs prohibited. Copy trading banned.
Weekend and overnight holding: Permitted with no restrictions.
Leverage: 1:100 for Forex, 1:20 for Indices and Commodities, 1:2 for Crypto.
Account merging available: Instant Funding accounts can be merged, but only if they are new with no trading activity or freshly reset after a payout.
4% trailing drawdown with no daily limit is deceptively tight on small accounts: While the absence of a daily limit seems flexible, a single bad session on a $2,500 account can consume the entire $100 trailing drawdown buffer. With no daily reset protecting the account, a losing streak within a single day eliminates the account immediately with no chance of recovery on subsequent days.
2% floating loss is just $50 on a $2,500 account: Any combined open trade loss of -$50 triggers immediate closure. At 1:100 leverage, a 0.01 lot trade moving just 50 pips against the position reaches this threshold. This is the most restrictive floating loss scenario in any GFT account by absolute dollar value.
Consistency rule with small accounts: Any day generating $50 or more requires total profits of at least $250 before a payout is possible. On a $2,500 account where meaningful daily gains are small in absolute terms, the 20% consistency cap can delay payouts significantly.
News profit cap of $25 is negligible: The $25 news profit cap on a $2,500 account provides almost no practical upside for news-focused strategies, while downside losses from the same window have no cap.

Scaling Plan

Level 1 capital boost: After 2 months in the funded phase and 4 successful payouts, the account balance increases by 15%, the profit split rises to 90%, and both drawdown limits increase by 1%.
Level 2 progression: After 4 months in the funded phase and 6 successful payouts, the capital boost increases to 30%, drawdown limits increase by 2%, and payout frequency upgrades to weekly.
Level 3 consistency reward: After 5 months in the funded phase and 10 successful payouts, the capital boost reaches 40%, profit split rises to 92%, drawdown limits increase by 3%, weekly payouts continue, and a free challenge replacement is unlocked.
Level 4 GOAT Trader status: After 6 months in the funded phase and 15 successful payouts, the capital boost reaches 50%, profit split rises to 95%, drawdown limits increase by 4%, and total capital can reach up to $2,000,000.
Scale-ups based on original account size: All scaling increases are calculated from the original account size. Accounts can be merged but scaling is still based on each individual account's starting balance.
Drawdown resets after each payout: The maximum trailing drawdown threshold resets to 4% below the account equity following each successful payout, giving traders a fresh risk buffer for each new payout cycle.
