Challenge & Funded Account Rules

These Trading Rules form an integral part of our Terms of Service. By purchasing or trading any challenge account you agree to strictly follow all rules below. Violation of any rule may result in immediate challenge failure, account termination, and forfeiture of all fees with no refund.

All trading takes place in a simulated environment only on MetaTrader and MatchTrader platforms. DeepFunded does not provide real market trading or brokerage services.

1. Available Challenge Types and Account Sizes

We offer One-Step and Two-Step challenges in the following account sizes:

Detailed objectives — profit targets, minimum trading days, and consistency rules — are displayed during challenge selection and on your dashboard.

2. Risk Management Rules

Trailing Drawdown — All Accounts

Maximum trailing drawdown is 10%, measured from the highest equity high reached on the account.

Daily Loss Limit

End-of-Day (EOD) Rules

All open trades must be closed before the end of the trading day (server time). Failure to close positions will result in a margin call and a potential rule breach.

Pro Plans Drawdown

Pro plans are subject to a 10% EOD drawdown calculated at end of day.

3. Funded Account Rules

Once you pass the challenge and receive a funded account:

• You must achieve at least 10% profit on the funded account before requesting your first payout
• To request a payout you must also have at least 5 profitable trading days meeting the minimum daily profit thresholds below

Payouts are processed within 1 business day after we verify full compliance with all rules.

4. Profit Split and Scaling

Profit scaling is proprietary. We evaluate accounts internally using our risk engine and upgrade accounts manually. The first 100 payouts are manually reviewed; after that, our risk engine handles automatic disqualifications where rules are breached.

5. Prohibited Practices

The following are strictly forbidden and will result in immediate challenge failure, account termination, and possible withholding of payouts:

News Trading

6. Account Usage Rules

• Maximum of 5 active or concurrent challenges per user at any time
• Account sharing is strictly prohibited — any evidence results in immediate termination without refund
• VPN and proxy usage is heavily scrutinised and known VPNs are actively blocked
• Inconsistent IP addresses or suspicious activity suggesting circumvention may result in immediate termination

7. Consequences of Rule Breaches

Any breach of these rules may lead to:

• Immediate failure of the current challenge
• Termination of all active accounts
• Forfeiture of all fees paid — no refunds
• Withholding of any pending or future payouts
• Permanent ban from the platform

Decisions made by our proprietary risk engine are final.

8. Important Disclaimers

• Trading in a simulated environment still carries risk — you can lose the entire simulated capital allocated to your account
• DeepFunded is not a financial advisor and does not provide trading advice — all trading decisions are your own responsibility
• These rules may be updated from time to time — continued use of our services after updates constitutes acceptance of the new rules
