What happens if I fail the Challenge or break a rule?
Outcomes depend on the type of rule breached:
Hard Rule Breach
These include exceeding Daily or Total Drawdown or any attempt to circumvent platform limits.
➡ Your account is immediately and permanently closed, without mediation or refund.
Soft Rule Breach
These involve non-critical issues, such as:
-
Exceeding the 2 % risk rule,
-
Large imbalance between correlated positions (overexposure),
-
Uneven profit distribution (consistency issue).
In these cases, your account enters a mediation process handled by the Risk Team:
-
The account is audited (§ 7.2) to confirm whether the breach was accidental or systematic.
-
If no fraud is detected, SpiceProp may apply a temporary restriction (e.g., lower leverage or a short cool-down period).
-
You may be asked to continue trading for several days to restore consistency (§ 6.6).
-
Once performance normalizes, full functionality and payout eligibility are reinstated.
Intentional manipulation, identity fraud, or system abuse always leads to termination without refund.
