How it works:
Risk is measured at your stop loss levels relative to your account balance. This means every open position is monitored by its potential loss if the stop is hit. Once funded, all risk limits are cut in half to reflect professional standards.
Limits by account type (Evaluation):
1-Step Challenge: 2.5% per instrument, 5% total
2-Step Challenge: 2% per instrument, 4% total
Instant Funding: 2% per instrument, 4% total
Instant Funding Lite: 3.5% per instrument, 7% total
Why we have it: To prevent traders from taking oversized bets on one trade or stacking too many correlated trades that could wipe the account in a single move.
Benefits for you:
Encourages diversification across instruments instead of relying on a single “all or nothing” trade.
Builds professional money management habits used by institutional traders.
Reduces stress by spreading risk more evenly.
Creates a smoother equity curve and more reliable path to scaling and payouts.
What happens if I breach this rule?
Breaching the cash risk rule is normally treated as a soft breach. This may result in a warning, payout reduction, or reset of your account. Repeated or severe breaches, however, can lead to account closure.
