To pass this qualification, your goal is to reach 30% consistency. In general terms: Consistency is maximum daily profit divided by total profit. For example: You've earned Day 1 - $100; Day 2 - $50; Day 3 - $300. Altogether, you've earned $450 - this is 100% of your profit. Consistency takes the largest day's profit ($300) and divides it by total profit ($450). So on the 3rd day your consistency is 66%. So you do not meet the consistency rule condition (30% or less). What can you do? Always continue trading, so that your total profit rises and your consistency gets smaller. For example: You earned $200 on the Day 4, so your ratio now is 300/650=46%. Then, in the next 2 days, you earned 250 and 200 dollars, and your consistency now is 27% - and you passed. Well Done!

No, there are no time constraints.

If you are in Stage 1 or Stage 2 of the program and incur a 4% drawdown or 2% daily loss, you will return to the beginning of Stage 1.

Yes it is allowed with Consistency Qualification. However we don’t recommend to hold overnight positions.

No, you may have multiple accounts open at the same time, and other accounts will not be closed automatically.

It works in a same was as the Maximum Daily Loss, but does so based on the last seven calendar days, rather than just a single trading day. Example #1 If a trader has had a maximum portfolio value of $30,000 and he has not traded over the past 7 calendar days (i.e., the portfolio is still at $30,000), then the loss amount the trader should avoid is $600 (2% of the portfolio value). You can find full explanation with more examples in our blog

A user is able to change an account size at Stage 1 or Stage 2 at any time (and without needing to open a new account). You would need to go to the start of the current stage and select a different amount.

It is entirely dependent on your trading results. There is no time limit as we want you to focus on sound trading strategies that identify positive expected value and high reward-to-risk opportunities.

The turnover requirement pertains to one’s starting account balance (i.e., $30k, $50k, $100k). It is not dynamically pegged to one’s current account balance.

Traders must turnover their account balance once daily for five days on Stage 1 and the same for ten days on Stage 2. It does not need to be in consecutive days. That means for Stage 1, if you are on a $100,000 account, you must trade in $100,000 of volume in five different days. This requirement increases to $100,000 of trade volume (or whatever the starting account balance) in ten different trading days for Stage 2.

Daily deposit turnover refers to the need to trade the equivalent of one’s account balance in one trading day. This is a requirement during the demo/paper trading phases of the program so traders can demonstrate that they can profit while managing risk at the same time.

No, but you must make a minimum of 6 points to pass this qualification. To succeed with Points PRO stage, you need to prove you can make a profit while avoiding significant losses; however, now there is no longer a profit target. Instead, you need to earn 6 points. Here’s how it works: Mathematically, points are granted to you according to the formula 4 tanh(x/4) and taken away from you according to formula 4 tanh-1(x/4) Points are granted and taken away according to graph: Profit Points -4-2246810 Profit/ Loss, % -8-6-4-224 Points This graph shows that if your strategy brings you more and more profit, you will not be grated points in the same way - the more profit you make, the less points you get (max 4 points per day) and with more risk the higher is chance to loose points (max -8 points can be taken away within one trading day). For example 2% profit gets 1,8 points; -3% loss takes away -4 points.

No, there are no time constraints. You can use our platform to pass qualification as long as you have an active subscription.

No. You cannot hold overnight positions overnight/over weekend, but it is allowed with Consistency Qualification. If you are a swing trader, we recommend switching to consistency option.

If account reaches 1% daily loss, it may be frozen to overview trading mistakes with the trader, that lead to this drawdown.

If a funded account reaches 1% daily loss, it may be frozen to overview trading mistakes with the trader, that lead to this drawdown, and limit the endured losses. This practice proved to be affective and was celebrated by many traders. However this rule does not save you from losses over 1% on overnight trades.

If a trader takes a funded account from $50,000 to $55,000, the withdrawal amount available will be $3,000 based on the trader’s 60% split [($55,000-$50,000) * 60%], with $2,000 going to the company based on the firm’s 40% split.

If profits have been made, you are not obligated to take the entire amount that is available to withdrawal (or any amount) if you would like to use the higher account balance to trade larger amounts. Moreover, we strongly recommend all traders to leave a part of their profit as a protection that could serve as the cushion to ease the losses caused by the unfavorable market moves.

All withdrawals have no maximum amount limits. The minimum amount allowed for withdrawal is 6% of the size of the account under management. • If the account is $30,000, then the minimum withdrawal amount is $1,800. • If the account is $50,000, then the minimum withdrawal amount is $3,000. • If the account is $100,000, then the minimum withdrawal amount is $6,000. Please note that traders must be above their high-water mark plus 6% or higher before receiving the 60% split of their profits. If, for example, a trader on a $50,000 starting balance draws down to $49,000, no profits can be taken on the account until the balance is back above $50,000.

A mentoring program is a way for experienced traders to give others the opportunity to receive mentorship from a senior leader. The connection of expert traders with less experienced or new traders in most cases brings benefit to both parties.

The purpose of mentoring is to grow by tapping into the knowledge and experience of someone further along than yourself. The goal is to match experienced professionals with people who could use their guidance.

A mentor is someone who helps you grow your skills, make better decisions, and gain new perspectives on your trading experience. Mentor is personally interested in your success and he is always available for help and advice.

A mentee is someone who is just starting in trading, who is new to stock market who has no professional financial or trading education, but wishes to have a quick and successful start in trading. Even though you will still benefit from reading financial news and doing relevant research, you can also consider recommendations given by your mentor and trade under his guidance to get success quicker.
