The Master Account
Profit Concentration Policy
The Profit Concentration Policy sets clear expectations on evaluation results. If a single trade idea accounts for more than 60% of the profit target in an evaluation phase, the Master Account created after passing will require 4 minimum profitable days before each reward can be requested.
A trade idea is a single trade, or multiple positions on the same instrument in the same direction, including any new position opened within 10 minutes of closing a losing trade. All of these positions are grouped and assessed together.
Exceeding the limit does not fail the Evaluation. It only adds a reward requirement after you pass; see the Rewards tab.

How is the Max Loss Limit calculated?
Max Loss Limit: 12% of the starting account size.
The Max Loss Limit is based on the starting account size. Both open and closed losses are counted, and your equity or balance cannot touch this level at any point, including floating losses from open trades. A breach closes the account.
Starting account size: $100K
Based on $100K (the account size)
12% of $100K = $12K. Your equity or balance cannot drop to $88K at any point.
How is the Daily Loss Limit calculated?
Daily Loss Limit: 3% of the higher value between your opening balance or opening equity for that day.
At the start of each trading day, the system records both your balance and your equity. Whichever is higher becomes the baseline. Your equity cannot fall by more than 3% of that baseline at any point during the day, including floating losses from open trades.
Opening balance: $105K / Opening equity: $107K
Baseline = $107K (equity is higher)
3% of $107K = $3,210. Your equity cannot drop to $103,790 that day.
Opening balance: $100K / Opening equity: $99K
Baseline = $100K (balance is higher)
3% of $100K = $3K. Your equity cannot drop to $97K that day.
What counts as activity?
Your account is breached if no trades are completed in 30 consecutive calendar days. At least one complete trade, opened and fully closed, must occur within any 30-day window to keep the account active.
- No trades placed yet: the clock starts from the account creation date.
- Previously traded: the clock starts the day after your last trade was fully closed.
A trade only counts as activity once it is fully closed. Leaving a trade open does not reset or pause the inactivity timer. There is no time limit to hit the Profit Target, so this is the one rule that can close the account without a loss.
How do the Striking System warnings work?
The account gets a warning when the floating loss on one trade idea reaches 1% of the account size.
A trade idea is a single trade, or multiple positions on the same instrument in the same direction, including any new position opened within 10 minutes of closing a losing trade. All of these positions are counted as a single trade idea.
There are four warnings. They add up over the life of the account and do not reset between Reward cycles.
| Warning | Consequence |
|---|---|
| 1st | Warning issued. |
| 2nd | Reward split drops by half. |
| 3rd | Reward split drops to 20%. |
| 4th | Account breach and immediate closure. |
News Trading
We use Forex Factory as our official news source. High-impact events and speeches are highlighted in red. You can also access the calendar directly through your dashboard.
There are no restrictions on holding trades during news events during the evaluation phase. You are free to manage your trades as you see fit.
You can hold trades during news events on the Master Account, however specific rules apply to trades opened or closed near high-impact news events.
You cannot open or close positions within a 10-minute window surrounding a high-impact news event (red folder only) on the affected currencies. This window spans 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the event. For high-impact speeches, the window spans 5 minutes before the speech begins until 5 minutes after it concludes.
Profits from trades opened or closed within this window will not be counted on the Master Account. The full profit of the affected trade is deducted, not just the portion earned during the window.
Trades opened 5 hours or more before a high-impact event or speech are excluded from the restriction and can be closed within the restricted window. Profits from these trades will count.
If news affects USD, you cannot open or close trades on any USD-related pairs within the 10-minute window.
Closing it within the window will result in those profits not being counted.
- Trades opened more than 5 hours before the news: profits will count if closed within the 10-minute window.
- Trades opened less than 5 hours before the news: profits will not count if closed during the 10-minute window.
- Closing any partial orders will affect the entire order, leading to a news trading flag.
- Traders are responsible for violations if deductions exceed the daily or max loss limit.
Weekend Holding
Weekend holds are permitted during the evaluation phase with no restrictions.
85% Reward Split
Request a Reward every two weeks. The profit has to meet the 1% minimum of the account size first. On a $100K account that is $1K.
Profit Concentration Policy
If a single trade idea accounts for more than 60% of the profit target, every Reward request needs 4 minimum profitable days. The condition stays for the life of the account, not only the first Reward.
A trade idea is a single trade, or multiple positions on the same instrument in the same direction, including any new position opened within 10 minutes of closing a losing trade. All of these positions are grouped and assessed together.
A profitable day closes up 0.5% or more of the account size. On a $100K account that is $500. Each Reward request needs 4 of them on the Master Account.
- Weekend holds are currently not allowed. Close all trades before Friday market close. Any open trades will be closed by the system; this is not a hard breach.
- Dynamic leverage has been applied to Metals, Energies, and Indices on Master Accounts. See the Important Information section below.
Swap-Free Add-On
Available at purchase for traders observing Islamic finance principles. Removes overnight swap charges on eligible instruments.
During purchase, traders can select the Swap-Free add-on to hold positions overnight without incurring swap (interest) fees.
- Applies to Forex and Metals only.
- Energies, Indices, and Crypto still incur standard swap charges even with the add-on active.
Commission
Standard accounts use the base commission structure. Accounts with the Swap-Free Add-on (MT5 only) pay higher commission in exchange for no overnight swap fees.
| Instrument | Standard Account | Swap-Free Account (MT5) |
|---|---|---|
| Forex | $5 per lot | $10 per lot |
| Metals | $5 per lot | $10 per lot |
| Energies | No commission | No commission |
| Indices | No commission | No commission |
| Crypto | 0.04% | 0.04% |
Leverage
| Instrument | Standard Account | Swap-Free Account (MT5) |
|---|---|---|
| Forex | 1:100 | 1:100 |
| Metals | 1:10 | 1:10 |
| Energies | 1:10 | 1:10 |
| Indices | 1:5 | 1:5 |
| Crypto | 1:2 | 1:2 |
When you pass Phase 1 and move to the Master Account, Crypto leverage changes from 1:2 to 1:1, including on swap-free accounts. This is a temporary change and is separate from the Dynamic Leverage below. During Phase 1, Crypto leverage stays at 1:2.
Important Information
Holding trades during the weekend is not allowed for all Master Accounts. Ensure all trades are closed before the market closes on Friday.
Any open trades will be automatically closed by the system. This is not a hard breach.
We actively monitor market conditions and geopolitical developments to ensure a safe and stable trading environment. When volatility, liquidity, or overall risk levels change, we may adjust trading conditions as needed. This can include temporary changes to leverage and margin requirements. All updates will be communicated to clients promptly by email.

Temporary Dynamic Leverage
Dynamic leverage is designed to give you more trading flexibility while maintaining responsible risk controls. Instead of applying a single fixed leverage ratio to your entire position, it uses a tiered structure where smaller trade lot sizes benefit from higher leverage, and the ratio gradually decreases as your position size grows. The temporary Dynamic Leverage is applied to Metals, Indices, and Energies on Master Accounts.
Dynamic Leverage Tiers
| Lot Size | Leverage |
|---|---|
| 0.00 - 0.05 lots | 1:50 |
| 0.05 - 0.10 lots | 1:30 |
| 0.10 - 0.15 lots | 1:25 |
| 0.15 - 0.25 lots | 1:20 |
| 0.25 - 0.50 lots | 1:10 |
| 0.50 and above lots | 1:5 |
The first 0.05 lots of any position uses 1:50 leverage, meaning you only need a small fraction of the trade's full value as margin. As your position grows beyond that, each additional portion requires progressively more margin (stepping through 1:30, 1:25, 1:20, and 1:10) until any volume above 0.50 lots uses the base rate of 1:5.
Your margin requirement is calculated cumulatively, each tier only applies to the portion of volume within its range, not your entire position. So, you always benefit from the lower tiers, no matter how large your trade becomes.
