Additional Rules

One-phase evaluation: On a $2,000 account, traders must generate $160 (8%) in closed profits while respecting all drawdown rules.
Minimum Profitable Days: A new 2026 requirement of 3 profitable days with at least 0.5% profit ($10) each.
Daily Loss Limit (Equity/Balance): 3% ($60). Calculated based on the highest of the balance or equity at the 00:00 UTC rollover.
Maximum Drawdown (Trailing): 5% ($100). This drawdown trails your highest recorded equity. Once the drawdown reaches the starting balance ($2,000), it typically locks at that level.
Consistency Rule (Funded Stage): If total profits exceed $5,000 (lifetime), no single trade or trading day may account for more than 50% of the profit. (Note: The strict 20% consistency score is primarily for the Instant program, but the 50% rule applies to funded challenges).
Payout Caps: Traders can withdraw a maximum of $10,000 per 30-day cycle across all accounts. At the $2,000 level, your individual payouts are unlikely to hit this cap, but it is a hard global limit.
News Trading Restricted: In the funded stage, trading is restricted 5 minutes before and after high-impact news. Profits from news events are capped at 0.50% ($10) of the account balance.
EA/Bot Restrictions: Expert Advisors are strictly prohibited on Maven Trading platforms. Use results in immediate disqualification.
IP & Strategy Compliance: Strict monitoring for "toxic trading flow," group hedging, and account sharing.
Leverage: Forex up to 1:75, Indices/Metals 1:20, and Crypto 1:2.

Scaling Plan

Level 1 capital boost: After 4 months in the funded phase and 4 successful payouts (requiring an average of 2.5% profit per month), the account balance increases by 25% ($500).
Performance-based progression: Further scaling occurs every 4 months, provided the trader achieves a total of 10% profit within that period and processes at least one payout per month.
Max Capital Limit: Traders can follow this scaling path up to a maximum allocation of $1,000,000 per trader (across combined accounts).
Max Withdrawal Scaling: The maximum withdrawal cap scales proportionally with the account balance growth.
Profit Split Upgrade: While the default is 80%, a 90% profit split add-on can be purchased at checkout.
