No minimum days required in the evaluation.
News trading is allowed but cannot be sole or majority source of profits.
News trading is strictly prohibited on Standard Funded accounts. More information is detailed below in section 5.
Consistency

50K = $1,200
100K = $2,400
150K = $3,600

Your account will be deactivated and trade review will be completed within 24 business hours during market open.
Approved accounts will require user to complete one-time KYC with valid government ID. KYC will be reviewed within 24 business hours of completion.
Failed KYC or fraudulent documents result in permanent termination.

News Trading on Beginner Funded Accounts
Trading during any scheduled red folder news event (as identified on ForexFactory.com) is strictly prohibited on Standard Funded accounts. This includes opening, holding, or placing pending orders within two minutes before or after the event.
All trades must be closed 2 minutes before the news event and cannot open until 2 minutes after the news event.
These restrictions apply to all red folder news events (as identified on ForexFactory.com), which can include: FOMC Meetings, Employment Reports, CPI, EIA reports, and agricultural reports.
Violations will result in further review and profit deduction upon first instance. Anything beyond first violation is subject to account termination.
Withdrawal Criteria
40% or lower consistency (per cycle)
Consistency % resets after each successful withdrawal.
This reset includes your highest profitable day, and also your total profits, which are used for the consistency calculation for future withdrawals.
Five minimum profitable days (per cycle)
50K = $200
100K = $360
150K = $580
Minimum profitable days reset after each successful withdrawal. You need to record at least 5 minimum profitable days per withdrawal cycle.
Biggest Loss vs. Biggest Win (single trade)
Your biggest single trade loss cannot exceed your biggest single trade win during the funded stage within each withdrawal cycle. The calculation is applied to net profits (commissions included). To be eligible for withdrawal, your biggest single trade profit must be greater than or equal to your biggest single trade loss.
Failure to meet this criteria will not result in a deduction, but you must continue trading until the requirement is satisfied.
For the purposes of this rule, a trade is defined as a single entry and its corresponding exit. Multiple contracts opened in one execution and closed in one execution count as one trade. If contracts are entered separately, each entry and exit pair is treated as its own trade. Likewise, if multiple contracts are entered together but exited in parts, each partial exit is treated as a separate trade.
