Rebels Funding – Trading Conditions

Forbidden Trading Practices

Prohibited behavior includes:

• Arbitrage in any form (price, latency, gap, swap, or multi-account hedging)
• Using delayed or external data feeds
• High-frequency or ultra-fast scalping (especially trades under ~30 seconds)
• Excessive risk-taking, including martingale, overexposure, or one-sided betting
• Risk per trade exceeding ~1.5% of account balance
• Trading during sensitive periods:
  •         Major news releases
  •         1 hour before market close
• Account sharing or third-party management
• Any trading style that “raises reasonable concern” for the firm
•  

That last one is doing a lot of heavy lifting. It basically translates to:

“If it looks weird to us, we’ll deal with it.”

This isn’t unusual in prop firms, but here it’s written in a way that gives them a very wide safety net.

News Trading

Technically allowed — but with a catch.

• Opening trades during major macro events is explicitly flagged as problematic
• Targeted trading around high-impact news can be considered a violation
•  

So yes, you can trade news…
…but if it looks intentional or aggressive, it becomes a problem.

It’s like being told:

“You can swim in the pool — just don’t make waves.”

Expert Advisors (EAs)

EAs are allowed, but under tight control:

• HFT-based EAs are prohibited
• Arbitrage EAs (gold, latency, etc.) are banned
• Any EA that mimics prohibited strategies will get flagged
• The firm evaluates behavior, not just the tool
•  

Translation:

You can use automation — as long as it behaves like a cautious human trader.

Copy Trading

Not allowed.

• You must trade your own account
• No account management services
• No shared access or collaboration
•  

Standard rule across most firms — nothing surprising here.

Account Models – Overview

Rebels offers a wide range of evaluation structures:

• 1-Phase
• 2-Phase
• 3-Phase
• 4-Phase
• Instant Funding
•  

Each model differs mainly in progression complexity and evaluation depth.

Notable points:

• No strict time pressure (accounts can last up to 999 days per phase)
• You must pass each phase in one continuous attempt
• If you fail → account is terminated, no retry built-in

This is one of those systems that looks flexible…

…but also quietly removes pressure by replacing it with patience and discipline requirements.

Inactivity & Duration

• Accounts expire if not activated within 180 days
• Each phase lasts up to 999 days
• No refunds for inactivity or early exit
•  

So yes, you have time.

But also:

If you disappear, the system moves on without you.

Payouts & Funding Reality

Here’s where things get interesting.

Rebels Funding does NOT directly fund traders.

Instead:

• You complete their evaluation
• You get recommended to a third-party partner (FRCSM)
• That partner decides whether you actually receive a funded account
•  

Meaning:

Passing the challenge ≠ getting funded

It’s more like:

passing the exam → getting considered for the job

Final Take

Rebels Funding sits in that middle ground where everything looks reasonable… until you read the fine print carefully.

The structure is flexible, the time limits are generous, and the path is clear — which is exactly why the control mechanisms are embedded deeper in the rules rather than upfront.

The biggest thing to understand is this:

You’re not trading for funding — you’re trading for a recommendation.

That doesn’t make it bad.
But it does make it fundamentally different from firms where passing the challenge directly unlocks capital.

Think of it like this:

• Most prop firms → pass → get funded
• Rebels → pass → maybe get introduced to someone who funds

Not a dealbreaker.
But definitely not the same game.
