- None
- Maximum Daily Loss
- 3% trailing — measured from the day's highest equity, limit fixed to 3% of the initial balance
- Maximum Overall Loss
- 4% trailing
- Min Profitable Days
- 3 for the first payout; each must realise at least 0.5% profit
- Payout Frequency
- Every 24h — the first cycle starts at your first trade
- Payout Processing
- Instant — paid within 30 minutes of the request, if all rules are respected
- Account Validity
- 30 days from issue

- No single trading day may exceed 15% of total profit when requesting a reward
- Reward Split

Where a program uses a trailing maximum overall loss, the trailing level continues to move upward as the account reaches new equity highs and does not reset after a reward request. Maintain a sufficient buffer after requesting a reward.
Trading Conduct & Prohibited Strategies
All activity must reflect genuine, disciplined and responsible trading behaviour. Users must not exploit the platform, data, execution environment, account structure, rule calculation or technical limitations.
- Copying trades from another person, account, signal provider or external source.
- Hedging or reverse hedging across one or more accounts.
- High-frequency trading, latency arbitrage, price-feed arbitrage, cross-platform arbitrage or gap exploitation.
- Opposite-account trading or coordinated trading intended to guarantee or transfer outcomes between accounts.
- Tick scalping, toxic flow, churning and burning, server/order-book spamming, or excessive order splitting.
- Third-party account management, account sharing, credential sharing, mirror trading or unauthorised automation.
- Any strategy designed primarily to bypass drawdown, consistency, holding-time, news, risk or other program rules.
These examples are not exhaustive. The Flex Funded may review account data to determine whether activity is abusive, manipulative, artificial or inconsistent with the purpose of the program.
Universal Maximum Lot Size
Universal Maximum Lot Size caps the maximum order/position size allowed on a single symbol, based on the account's initial balance, and applies to every product and every phase, including evaluation phases.
An order that would exceed this limit is simply not placed. It is an execution limit, not a breach, and never affects account status, balance or equity.
- $3K
- 0.24 lots per symbol
- $5K
- 0.25 lots per symbol
- $6K
- 0.48 lots per symbol
- $9K
- 0.72 lots per symbol
- $10K
- 0.50 lots per symbol
- $12K
- 0.96 lots per symbol
- $15K
- 1.20 lots per symbol
- $18K
- 1.44 lots per symbol
- $25K
- 1.25 lots per symbol
- $50K
- 5.00 lots per symbol
- $100K
- 10.00 lots per symbol
Holding Time & Trade Behaviour
During evaluation phases, the average trade duration must be at least 2 minutes. During simulated funded stages, each individual trade must remain open for at least 1 minute unless a product-specific rule states otherwise.
Repeated ultra-short trades, artificial trade sequences, robotic patterns or transactions entered solely to satisfy a technical requirement may be treated as abusive activity.
Consistency Standards
A 20% consistency rule applies to the Instant Funding simulated funded stage. No single trading day may account for more than 20% of total accumulated eligible profit.
Flex Rapid applies a 15% consistency rule to reward requests: no single trading day may account for more than 15% of total profit when a reward is requested.
If the highest-profit day exceeds the limit, trading must continue until total eligible profit increases sufficiently. Erratic sizing, one-off oversized gains, concentrated exposure or other patterns inconsistent with the intended risk profile may also be reviewed.
News Trading & Market Exploitation
The news-trading restriction applies to simulated funded stages, including Instant Funding accounts, unless stated otherwise (news trading is allowed on Flex Rapid). The Flex Funded uses the Forex Factory economic calendar to identify scheduled High Impact events and speeches for the currencies of the instrument being traded.
Users must not open or close a trade from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after a relevant High Impact event — a 10-minute restricted window. Doing so is an immediate breach.
The rule applies to:
- Manual orders
- Pending-order triggers
- Stop-losses
- Take-profits
- Any other execution that opens or closes a position
Pending orders may be placed, modified or cancelled during the restricted window provided they are not triggered. Position management is permitted only where it does not cause a trade to open or close. A trade opened or closed during the restricted window — including by a pending-order trigger, stop-loss or take-profit — is a hard breach and the account is closed automatically.
Inactivity
An account may not remain inactive for more than 30 consecutive calendar days unless a product-specific rule states otherwise. Inactivity means no trades are executed during the relevant period.
Flex Rapid accounts are valid for 30 days from issue; trading is disabled once an account expires.
The Flex Funded may close or restrict inactive accounts.
Monitoring, Reviews & Interviews
The Flex Funded may conduct account monitoring, trade audits, strategy reviews, identity checks, compliance reviews and live or recorded interviews at any time. Users must cooperate fully and provide truthful, complete and timely information.
While a review is pending, access may be temporarily restricted, leverage may be reduced, progression may be delayed, or a reward request may be held.
Suspicious or Forbidden Activity
- Large or unexplained changes in position size.
- Unusual concentration in one symbol or direction.
- Very rapid sequences of trades without a rational market basis.
- Attempts to evade daily or maximum loss limits.
- Patterns suggesting hedging, arbitrage, reverse trading or account coordination.
- Repeated overexposure, margin abuse or exploitation of rule edge cases.
Expert Advisors & Automation
Third-party expert advisors may be used only where they function strictly as trade-management or risk-management tools and comply with all applicable rules.
Signal copying, mirror trading, account-management software, unauthorised bots or automation designed to exploit the platform are prohibited.
The Flex Funded may request information about any tool or strategy used and may restrict or terminate an account where automation masks ownership, duplicates activity, manipulates results or interferes with normal platform operation.
Third-Party Platforms & Providers
The Flex Funded may use or provide access to third-party trading platforms, market-data providers, payment providers, identity-verification providers and other service providers. Third-party services are subject to their own terms and availability.
The Flex Funded is not responsible for outages, delays, errors, restrictions or losses caused solely by third parties beyond its reasonable control.
Rewards & Payout Requests
After satisfying the applicable minimum trading days and generating eligible simulated profits, users may submit a reward request.
- Standard reward split
- 80% of eligible simulated profits
- Review time
- Generally 1–3 business days
- Minimum reward request
- USD 100 unless another amount is shown in the dashboard
- Supported methods
- May include bank transfer or cryptocurrency
All rewards are discretionary and conditional until approved following applicable trading, compliance, identity, payment and fraud reviews.
A simulated account balance or displayed profit is not a debt owed to the user. No reward becomes due unless and until The Flex Funded approves it in accordance with the applicable terms.
Refunds & Chargebacks
Except where required by applicable law or expressly stated in a written refund policy, fees are non-refundable after digital access has been delivered, account credentials have been issued or the program has commenced.
Improper chargebacks or payment disputes may result in suspension, termination, cancellation of active accounts or rewards, and restriction from future purchases.
Suspension & Termination
The Flex Funded may suspend, restrict, reduce leverage, close an account, deny progression, remove simulated profits, deny rewards or terminate services where it reasonably suspects or determines a breach, fraud, abuse, security issue, legal restriction or material risk.
These trading rules form part of the Terms & Conditions. All accounts, balances and trading activity within a program are simulated — see the Risk Disclosure for full detail.
