1. Proper Stop-Loss Required on Every Trade Every order must be executed with a clearly defined and proper Stop-Loss (SL). Orders placed without a Stop-Loss will be treated as a direct breach of trading rules. SL must be based on a reasonable risk-reward strategy, not arbitrarily placed.
2. Stop-Loss Must Be Maintained SL should remain active and unchanged during the trade. Removing or excessively widening the SL after entry is strictly prohibited. Reasonable adjustments like trailing stops are allowed as part of a strategy.
3. Minimum Holding Time – 2 Minutes All trades must be held for at least 2 minutes before closing manually. Closing any trade manually in less than 2 minutes will be treated as an account breach. Trades closed due to SL hit within 2 minutes will not be excused, as it indicates the client is not maintaining a proper risk-reward ratio.

Payout Eligibility Criteria To qualify for a payout, traders must meet the following condition: At least 4 individual trades within 4 different days must generate a minimum of 0.5% profit per trade.

The Maximum Daily Loss is the amount the trader is allowed to lose every day. For the purpose of this rule, the higher value between equity and balance will be used. This rule is set to 4% of the starting equity or balance every day. The rule states that the equity of the day, which is the result of the currently floating PnL (Profit and Loss) in sum with all closed positions of that day, must not hit the Maximum Daily Loss Limit. The daily maximum loss resets at 00:00 CE(S)T /server every day.

The Maximum Loss Limit is the amount the equity or balance can't go below. This rule is set to 6% of the initial account size. For example, if the trader has a $100.000 account and the Maximum Loss Limit is 6%,the equity or balance can't go below $94.000 at any moment.

• 2.4.1. During the Evaluation (Student)
• You are allowed to hold trades over the weekend and trade during the news in the evaluation stage.

• You are allowed to hold trades during news and over the weekend. Profit from trades that are opened or closed 5 minutes prior to and after a high impact news event or speech on the affected currency will not be counted on the Master account UNLESS the trade was executed 5 hours prior to the news event*. This restriction applies to all forms of trade execution, such as manual, pending, stop loss and take profit orders. During news speeches, the prohibited window will extend 5 minutes prior to the speech until 5 minutes after the speech has been finished. News event trading will result in the deduction of any profits made from trades executed within the restricted 10-minute window.
• Our system will automatically close the affected trades that are opened within the prohibited time window. We use Forex Factory as our news calendar source. In the event any deductions result in the breach of the daily loss limit or maximum loss limit, the trader is responsible for the violation. Read more about news trading in our FAQ "Can I hold trades during news and over the weekend?".
• *Note:To help swing traders while preventing news gamblers, trades that are opened 5 hours prior to a high impact news event are excluded and allowed to close within the prohibited time window. The profits of these trades will be counted.
• We do not support purposely trading news and it will lead to a termination.

The 10 lots limit per day rule means you can only open a total of 10 lots each day. If you go over this limit, any open trades will be closed, and you won't be able to trade until the next day. This limit resets at midnight CE(S)T. If you have trades open at midnight, they count towards the next day's limit. This rule only applies to the Master account and is NOT a hard breach. You will not lose the Master account for exceeding the daily lot limit.

• Trade the way you want. Use an "EA", hold during news, hold trades over the weekend and trade lot sizes as big as the leverage allows for as long as it is not: Gap trading, high frequency trading, server spamming, latency arbitrage, toxic trading flow, hedging, long short arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, tick scalping, server execution, opposite account trading, which are all prohibited. Also, copy trading or account management by a third-party vendor is prohibited. Such activities with LiveX Capital will result in account termination. Keep in mind that using a third-party Expert Advisor is allowed as long as it is a trade or risk manager. Using any other third-party Expert Advisor is not allowed. This will lead to a denial of the evaluation or reward and closure of the account.
