Inactivity Rule
- All accounts are deactivated after 30 days of inactivity.
Risk Management & All-or-Nothing Behavior

- “All or nothing” trading approaches are not allowed.
Minimum Holding Time
- Minimum holding time is 2 minutes.
- Trades closed under 2 minutes may be flagged as tick scalping, which is prohibited.
Drawdown Adjustment Rule
Applies to 1-Step Standard, 2-Step Pro, Guardian X and Instant accounts.
- When your trailing max drawdown (X%) is moved back to the starting balance after reaching X% profit, you must keep at least a 1% profit buffer to continue trading.
- Withdrawing all profits after a reset will result in the account being closed.
