Temporary update: Due to increased market volatility, leverage on Metals, Oil, and Indices is temporarily set to 1:5 on funded accounts only. Standard leverage will be restored once market conditions stabilise.
One-Sided Bets
Taking positions in a single direction without analysis or awareness of market conditions. This creates excessive exposure and increases the risk of rapid drawdown.
Grid Trading
Placing buy and sell orders at fixed intervals above and below a price level to capture movement. This approach relies on price fluctuation rather than structured analysis and is treated as non-strategic trading.
High-Frequency Trading (HFT)
Holding trades for 60 seconds or less is not permitted.
Executing a high volume of trades within a short period may also be classified as HFT.
Accounts showing these patterns are reviewed and may face restrictions or termination to maintain fair trading conditions.
Martingale Strategy
Increasing position size after losses to recover drawdown or amplify gains.
- Allowed on:
- Fill88 Challenges
- Fill88 Instant Micro accounts
- Fill88 IF1 accounts
- Restricted on:
- Fill88 Instant Accounts
Traders on Fill88 Instant Accounts may add to losing positions, but repeated doubling of lot sizes after losses is not permitted.
Overleveraging
Overleveraging occurs when your trading exceeds the permitted lot size for your account type, increasing exposure and risk.
For example, on a $100,000 Fill88 One-Phase or Two-Phase Challenge account, the maximum lot size for currency pairs is 40 lots. Opening 20 lots on EURUSD and 20.5 lots on GBPUSD results in a total of 40.5 lots, which breaches this limit.
These limits are in place to maintain controlled risk and consistent trading behaviour. Full lot size limits vary by account size and asset class.
Maximum Risk Per Trade Idea
Risking or losing more than 50% of your starting daily drawdown on a single trade idea is classified as gambling and is a hard breach.
A trade idea includes all open positions on the same instrument in the same direction. Closing and reopening a position in the same direction within 10 minutes is treated as the same trade idea and does not reset the limit.
This rule applies to funded accounts only.
- Fill88 Instant Accounts: 3% of starting balance
- Fill88 Instant GO Accounts: 2% of starting balance
- Fill88 IF Micro and IF1 Accounts: 1% of starting balance
Improper Day Padding
Where a minimum trading day requirement exists, each trading day must reflect genuine trading activity.
Opening negligible or artificial trades purely to meet the requirement is not permitted.
Major News Trading
Major news events can create sharp volatility. To manage risk and maintain fairness, restrictions apply to trades opened or closed close to these events.
Trades executed within 4 minutes before or after a major news release are restricted. For Fill88 Two-Phase Max, this window is 5 minutes.
Profits generated from restricted trades may be adjusted, and accounts may be reset if required.
This restriction does not apply to:
- Fill88 Instant Micro
- Fill88 IF1
- Fill88 One-Phase Micro
- Accounts with a major news trading add-on
- Phase one and two of all challenges
Trades opened before the restricted window and closed after it are permitted.
Copy Trading Between Unrelated Accounts
Copying trades from accounts not owned by you is not allowed. This includes automated copying, shared signals, or third-party account management services.
Copy trading between your own accounts is permitted, including across prop firms and retail brokers.
Usage of Public Third-Party Expert Advisors (EAs)
The use of publicly available third-party EAs is restricted.
Reverse Trading and Group Hedging
Reverse trading involves opening opposing positions on the same asset across multiple accounts to remove risk.
Group hedging involves coordinated trading between multiple users to reduce exposure.
Both practices undermine fair evaluation and are prohibited.
Group Copying and Account Management
Group copying includes using identical public EAs with the same settings or copying trades from another trader, whether manually or automatically. This is treated as account management and is not allowed.
Account management also includes any situation where someone other than the verified account holder is trading. Operating under another identity breaches KYC and AML requirements.
Any attempt to hide identity or collaborate with other traders, whether on Fill88 or other simulated funding providers, is a violation.
Account Churning (Rolling)
Repeatedly opening and closing multiple funded or challenge accounts within a short timeframe is not allowed.
This behaviour often involves high-risk trading, account breaches, and immediate re-entry into new challenges. It undermines disciplined trading and the integrity of the evaluation process.
Exploiting System Glitches
Taking advantage of platform errors, including incorrect pricing or delayed updates, is prohibited.
Exploiting Platform Inefficiencies and Other Practices
Any attempt to exploit trading infrastructure or data feeds is not allowed. This includes:
- Latency arbitrage
- Reverse arbitrage
- Gap trading exploitation
- Toxic order flow
- Tick scalping
- Server execution manipulation
These behaviours compromise fair trading conditions and result in enforcement action.
Initial Drawdown
The drawdown begins at -10% of the starting balance.
Drawdown Adjustment
Once a 5% balance gain is achieved, the drawdown shifts to -5% of the original starting balance.
Post-Adjustment Behaviour
After this adjustment, the drawdown remains fixed at -5% and does not trail or increase further.
Scaling Impact
For scaled accounts, the drawdown is recalculated to -5% of the new scaled balance. This excludes any profits generated.
You can trade across the following asset classes:
- Major and minor currency pairs
- Major and minor indices
- Cryptocurrencies
- Commodities
Overnight Trading
Holding positions overnight is permitted. You should account for changing market conditions, including spreads, liquidity, and volatility.
Weekend Trading
Holding trades over the weekend is allowed on the following accounts:
- Phase one and two of all Fill88 challenges
- Fill88 Two-Phase Max
- Fill88 Instant Micro
- Fill88 One-Phase Micro
- Accounts with a major news trading add-on
