Below, you’ll find the key rules and answers to common questions. For full details, please refer to our Trading Rules and FAQ.
Risk Limits
Daily Loss
You may not lose more than 4% of your account value per day.
At 17:00 EST, market rollover, your Daily Loss Limit is recalculated based on the higher of:
• Your Balance, excluding open trades
• Your Equity, including open trades
Example: If your Balance is $10,000 and your Equity is $10,500 at 17:00 EST, the Daily Loss Limit for the next day will be 4% of $10,500 = $420.
Static Drawdown
Your maximum loss is limited to 7% of your starting balance.
Example: with a $10,000 starting balance, your account can’t drop below $9,300.
Max Lot Rule
Maximum Lot Rule sets clear limits on total lot sizes per asset class. Lot size limits apply to each asset class. Multiple positions within the same category are counted together when calculating the total volume.
Violating the Maximum Lot Rule will result in a full account reset.
The table below shows the maximum allowable lot sizes for One-Phase Micro accounts. Review it carefully to ensure your trades stay within limits.
| One-Phase Micro challenge size | FX | Commodities/Metals | Indices | Crypto |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | 2 | 0.15 | 1 | 0.5 |
| $10,000 | 4 | 0.3 | 2 | 1 |
| $25,000 | 10 | 0.75 | 5 | 2.5 |
| $50,000 | 20 | 1.5 | 10 | 5 |
| $100,000 | 40 | 3 | 20 | 10 |
| $200,000 | 80 | 6 | 40 | 20 |
Risk per Trade Idea
You may not risk more than 50% of the account’s starting daily drawdown at any time in one trade idea. A trade idea includes all open positions on the same instrument in the same direction, Buy or Sell. Closing and reopening a position in the same direction on the same instrument within 10 minutes is treated as the same trade idea and does not reset the limit. Exceeding this limit will result in a hard breach.
Profit Target
To pass the One-Phase Micro Challenge, you must reach a 7% profit based on your starting balance.
Example: On a $100,000 account, your profit target is $7,000.
Payouts
One-Phase Micro offers on-demand payouts, you can withdraw your profit as soon as you meet these conditions:
• Your best trading day must not exceed 15% of your total profit
• Example: If your total profit is $1,000, your best day must be $150 or less
• Your total net profit for a payout must reach at least 1.5% of your starting balance or $25, whichever is larger
Once these are met, you can request a payout at any time from your dashboard.
