Trading Rules

Real Funds Trader is created by traders for traders. The evaluation process, the business conditions and the business rules are designed to offer the best experience to our operators. Their success is also ours. It’s very simple, be a consistent and disciplined trader.

1. Be Consistent

Our courses from Phase 1 and 2 are a one time payment. They don’t have a monthly subscription, so you can make it without any rush, be patient, fulfill your trading plan, manage your risk, UNLEASHING THE POTENTIAL, YOUR SKILL IS YOUR SUCCESS AND OURS AT THE SAME TIME.

2. Business Rules and Behavior

Real Funds Trader offers two evaluation courses. The first is based in two phases; student and aspirant. The second phase is based in being just a candidate, that phase, must be approved to become a Master Trader, also known as Funded Trader. It is essential that you have a dynamic trading system and risk management profile to pass the evaluation course. After reaching your profit goal in Phase 1 or Phase 2 (this will depend on the challenge selected by the student) our risk management team will manually revise your entire evaluation process. This process will be completed within 2 business days. In case of non-compliance with any of the rules mentioned in this section, all open positions on the broker’s platform will be closed immediately, the client’s account will be closed and the right to payment will be revoked.

2.1. 2 Phase Course

2.1.1. The Student Phase (Phase I)

The student phase is about testing your trading skills while defining yourself as a trader. During the student phase, you must reach a profit target of 8% without breaking any other rules. Once passed, it will take 24 hours to receive your Phase 2 account.

2.1.2. The Aspirant Phase (Phase II)

The aspirant phase is only to confirm your results and results of the student phase. During the aspirant phase, you must reach a profit target of 4% without breaking any other rules.

2.1.3. Maximum daily loss limit of 5%

The maximum daily loss is the amount the trader can lose each day. For the purpose of this rule, the available balance at 00:00 UTC will be used. This rule is calculated as follows: Available balance – 5% = Limit set for the day; and it establishes that the maximum daily loss resets at 00:00 UTC/server every day. Your Balance/Equity should not reach the Maximum Daily Loss Limit, otherwise, you would be breaking the rules.

2.1.4. Maximum total loss limit of 10%

The maximum loss limit is the amount below which the principal or balance cannot go down. This rule is set at 10% of the initial size account. For example, if the trader has an account of $100,000 and the maximum loss limit is 10%, the capital or balance cannot go below $90,000 at any time.

2.2. 1 Phase Evaluation Course

2.2.1. The Aspirant Phase (Phase I)

The aspirant phase consists of testing your commercial skills while defining yourself as a merchant after having completed your student phase (previously developed by you ). During the aspirant phase you must achieve a profit target of 8% without breaking any other rules.

2.2.2. Maximum daily loss limit of 4%

The maximum daily loss is the amount that the trader can lose each day. For the purposes of this rule, the highest value between the equity and the balance will be used. This rule is set at 4% of the capital or initial balance every day. The rule establishes that the equity of the day, which is the result of the PnL (Profit and Loss) currently floating in sum with all the closed positions of that day, must not reach the Maximum Daily Loss Limit. Daily maximum loss resets at 00:00 UTC /server every day.

2.2.3. Maximum total loss limit of 6%

The maximum loss limit is the amount below which the balance or equity cannot fall. This rule starts at 6% of the initial account size and constantly tracks the equity value and balance. For example, if your balance or equity drops to $9,700, your maximum total loss will still be $9,400. If you make profits in the account and your balance or equity reaches $10,300, then your new drawdown limit will be $10,300 – $600, which would be $9,700. If your equity goes below this limit you will breach your account. Remember, for this type of course, the DrawDown is a Trailing Stop.

However, it’s important to note that profits won’t be recorded for trades opened 5 minutes before and after the release of high-impact news affecting the relevant currency. Please be aware that our system will NOT AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE trades opened within this restricted period; instead, they will be reviewed before processing any corresponding payments. Therefore, exercising caution when trading within this time window is crucial.

Engaging in trades during high-impact news events will result in deductions from any profits gained across all executed trades, especially those made within the restricted 10-minute period. Should a user participate in trading during these events, access to our platform will be prohibited, their account will be closed, and any pending payments will be revoked.

For managing our news calendar, we rely on Forex Factory as our primary source. If any deductions result in exceeding daily or maximum loss limits, the trader will be held responsible for such violations. We recommend reading more about news trading in our FAQ section.

Important Reminder:

Please note that news involving the Presidents of States, FOMC members and Central Bank Presidents are considered high-impact news. These news items conclude when the speech ends, so it’s essential to stay tuned to official channels for up-to-date information. For instance, if the Fed Chair, Powell, begins a speech at 13:00 EST and ends it at 15:00 EST, the restricted time window begins at 12:55 EST and ends at 15:05 EST. We suggest using Forex Factory and filtering news under the ‘Speeches’ category to identify days and times for high-impact speeches.

Note for Swing Traders:

If a trade is opened at least four hours before the restricted time window and closed within that window with a TARGET PROFIT PROGRAM, the trade will be counted.
If a trade is opened at least four hours before the restricted time window and manually closed within the restricted window, our system will NOT AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE the trade; instead, it will be reviewed before processing any payments, and the user’s account could be denied.
