Trading rules

The evaluation has two phases: a 10% profit target in Phase 1 and a 5% target in Phase 2. There is no time limit — once you reach the target while respecting every other rule, you move to the next phase and then to a funded account.

Your daily loss, measured on equity and including the floating P/L of open trades, must never exceed 5% of the balance recorded at the start of that trading day. Breaching it fails the account.

Account equity must never fall more than 10% below the initial balance. This overall floor is fixed and always calculated from your starting balance, not from peak equity.

At any moment, your open risk — the combined floating loss of all simultaneously open positions — must not exceed 2.5% of the account balance. This keeps position sizing disciplined and exposure controlled.

You must trade on at least 5 separate days to pass each evaluation phase. On a funded (real) account, at least 15 trading days are required before your first payout. A day counts when at least one position is closed.

No single trading day may account for more than 50% of your total profit for the period. This rewards steady, repeatable performance rather than one oversized trade.

Trading is limited exclusively to gold, XAU/USD. Opening a position on any other symbol breaks the rules; profit from non-permitted symbols is removed and the account is flagged.

All accounts are provided and traded exclusively on MetaTrader. No other trading platform is supported for evaluation or funded accounts.

Every position must stay open for at least 60 seconds. A trade closed in under a minute still counts if it ends in a loss, but any profit from it is removed and not credited. This core rule prevents tick-scalping, latency abuse and server-lag exploitation.

After a losing trade you must wait at least 5 minutes before opening a new position. Trading inside this window is treated as high-frequency (HFT) abuse, breaks the rules, and results in the account being revoked.

The following void the account: high-frequency trading (HFT), latency or price arbitrage, reverse/group hedging across one or more accounts, copy trading of third-party signals, martingale/grid abuse, and any technique that exploits the simulated environment, pricing errors or demo-feed gaps.

Opening or closing trades within the high-impact news window for gold (a few minutes before and after) is restricted. Profit generated in breach of this window may be removed. Upcoming news is shown on your dashboard.

Holding positions overnight and over the weekend is allowed. Swaps and price gaps are part of normal trading and remain your responsibility.

Payouts are processed within 24 hours on business days. Your share scales with each withdrawal relative to the balance: below 10% earns 70%, below 15% earns 75%, below 20% earns 80%, and above 20% earns 100% to you.

Before your first payout you must complete identity verification. Each trader may hold accounts under one verified identity only; multiple identities or shared accounts are not permitted.

An account with no trading activity for 30 consecutive days may be deactivated. Contact support to reactivate where eligible.

The one-time challenge fee is refundable and returned together with your first payout on the funded account, subject to the rules above.

PROPINO may update these rules to protect the integrity of the program. Material changes are announced in advance, and the version shown here always governs your active accounts.
