Help CenterTraders using bonus accounts should understand that these accounts are issued free of charge as part of marketing campaigns, promotions, giveaways, or test distributions to influencers and partners. Because the company assumes full risk with no trader contribution, these accounts are subject to stricter rules and risk limits. The purpose of this policy is to ensure stability, discipline, and consistency in trading behavior, as well as to maintain the integrity of the company’s capital and data.
Traders suspected of violating the rules may be subject to various restrictions.
Our goal is to help traders become better risk managers and disciplined professionals, while also benefiting from the structured trading flow they provide. This approach allows the company to collect the highest quality trading data, monetize it more effectively, strengthen its stability, and contribute to the overall development of the prop trading industry.
Specific Rules for Bonus Accounts
Inconsistent Trading Rule
For regular accounts, the maximum risk per trading idea is 2.5% of the initial balance.
For bonus accounts, the maximum risk per trading idea is strictly limited to 1% of the initial balance.
A trading idea is defined as:
-
All positions opened simultaneously at the same price point, on the same symbol and in the same direction
-
Positions opened and closed within a single price movement on the same symbol and direction within 60 minutes
Daily drawdown limits of 4–5% still apply, but not in a single trade. Any excessive exposure on one position will result in immediate violation of the rule.
Excessive Risk-Taking Rule
For regular accounts, the maximum lot sizes are:
– $25,000 account: 10 lots
– $50,000 account: 20 lots
– $100,000 and $200,000 accounts: 40 lots
For bonus accounts, these limits are reduced by 50%:
– $25,000 account: 5 lots
– $50,000 account: 10 lots
– $100,000 and $200,000 accounts: 20 lots
This restriction is intended to minimize exposure and reduce the probability of sharp drawdowns caused by aggressive strategies.
Challenge Stage Conditions
Bonus accounts issued for promotional purposes are subject to funded account rules already at the challenge stage.
– No margin of error for exceeding key risk limits
– Higher priority risk monitoring and review
– Immediate account termination in case of breach, without the possibility of reinstatement
This ensures that bonus traders must demonstrate professional-level trading discipline from the start, not rely on speculative or high-risk strategies.
Basic Principles
– Prevent and minimize gambling behavior and toxic trading
– Increase the stability and reliability of the company’s operations
– Instill discipline and consistency in trader actions
– Provide traders with the opportunity to demonstrate skills and earn sustainably, reducing the probability of collapse
– Eliminate gambling-like characteristics in trading behavior
– Account for increased collapse risks during news events and black swan situations
Final Statement
Bonus accounts are a privilege, not a right. They are intended to identify disciplined and consistent traders who can be trusted with the company’s capital. Strict rules are applied to protect the company’s stability, the integrity of trading data, and the overall health of the prop trading ecosystem. Traders who comply with these rules can gain access to funded accounts and long-term cooperation opportunities.
