Depending on programme profit sharing starts from 60% to 90% for the trader.
A profitable day is a day on which balance and equity has increased by 0.5% over the previous day's balance and equity. So, the day will be counted as profitable, if both conditions are met: Balance at the end of the day >= Balance at the beginning of the day * (1 + 0.5/100) and Equity-Credit at the end of the day >= Equity-Credit at the beginning of the day * (1 + 0.5/100) For a day to be counted, you need to close trades, otherwise the balance will not increase. All data is read by the system at 23:59:59 server time (GMT+2). You can check the profitable days in your dashboard by going to 'Accounts' section. Choose your account and you will see the amount of profitable days in 'Objectives' section.
After successfully completing two challenges, the trader receives a refund which will count towards the first payout.
Withdrawals are available 14 days starting from the date of the funded account opening, then 14 days after the last withdrawal. For Black Pepper challenge withdrawals possible every 7 days.
Copying other traders' signals / accounts is prohibited.
An inactive account is an account with 21 days of no trading activity.
If the account reaches a daily loss of 5,5% of the balance (2.5% on Jalapeño), it will be closed. The daily loss is based on the previous day's equity as of 18:00 New York time.
Trading on important news (with high market impact) is not prohibited. But it must be noted that during a high-impact news event, during volatile moments there might be a slippage (i.e. difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which the trade is executed). Slippage can not be controlled by a company side.
All accounts, excluding Jalapeño, on simulated funded have an acceptable daily drawdown limit of 4.5%. The total loss limit still remains the same as on challenge and is 11%.
