Overview
This article defines all risk rules, account limits, and consistency requirements for the Instant Funded Plan. Instant Funded accounts are issued as fully funded accounts from the moment of purchase. There is no evaluation phase, no passing criteria, and no activation step. All rules outlined below apply immediately upon account issuance. Traders are responsible for maintaining compliance at all times.
Account Structure
Instant Funded accounts operate under a single funded phase.
Phase | Description |
Funded Phase | Live simulated funded account with payout eligibility |
There are no evaluation rules, profit targets, or transition requirements.
End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown
All Instant Funded accounts use an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown. The drawdown updates only after the trading session closes and never updates intraday.
Account Size | Trailing Drawdown |
$25,000 | $1,000 |
$50,000 | $2,000 |
$100,000 | $4,000 |
$150,000 | $6,000 |
How the Drawdown Works
Evaluated after the trading session closes at 5:00 PM EST
Trails upward as new end-of-day equity highs are reached
Never moves downward
Breached only if the account closes the day below the drawdown level
Intraday drawdowns are permitted provided the account remains above the drawdown at session close.
Daily Loss Limit (Funded Phase)
A Daily Loss Limit (DLL) applies to all Instant Funded accounts and resets at the start of each new trading session.
Account Size | Daily Loss Limit |
$25,000 | $500 |
$50,000 | $1,250 |
$100,000 | $2,500 |
$150,000 | $3,750 |
If the Daily Loss Limit is reached:
Trading is restricted for the remainder of the trading day
The account remains active
Trading resumes the next session
The Daily Loss Limit is enforced in addition to the trailing drawdown.
Position Size Limits
Maximum position size limits are enforced at all times.
Account Size | Max Position Size |
$25,000 | 2 Minis / 20 Micros |
$50,000 | 4 Minis / 40 Micros |
$100,000 | 6 Minis / 60 Micros |
$150,000 | 10 Minis / 100 Micros |
Exceeding position limits — even briefly or due to partial fills — is considered a rule violation and may result in account restriction or termination.
20% Consistency Rule (Payout Calculations Only)
The 20% consistency rule applies immediately because Instant Funded accounts are funded from day one. This rule is used only for payout calculations and does not limit account profitability.
Consistency Rule Logic
When submitting a payout request:
No single trading day may contribute more than 20% of the profits included in that payout
Profit above the 20% threshold is excluded from that payout
Excluded profit remains in the account
The account is not breached or penalized
This rule does not cap profits and does not restrict account growth.
Trading Behavior & Compliance
Instant Funded accounts are subject to ongoing compliance monitoring. The following behaviors may result in profit exclusion, payout denial, or account termination:
Intentional microscalping
Circumventing risk controls
Position size manipulation
Abusive or non-standard trading behavior
All compliance checks are performed prior to payout approval.
Important Clarifications

There is no profit target
There is no profit cap
Consistency affects payouts only
