Evaluation phases
This is an instant-funding account. You trade firm capital from day one with no profit target. Complete the minimum qualifying trading days before your first payout.
| Phase | Profit target | Min. trading days |
|---|---|---|
| No evaluation | Funded immediately | - |
5 trading days, each ≥ 1% profit, before your first payout.
| Account term | Detail |
|---|---|
| First reward / payout cycle | 28 days, then every 14 days |
| Fee refund | With your 3rd consecutive reward |
What counts as a trading day
A trading day is counted once you open and close at least one position. Days with no completed trade, including weekends, do not count toward your minimum.
On passing
You are funded from day one. Complete the minimum trading days, then request your first payout.
If you breach
A breach ends the account. Account Resets are not available on Instant Zero, so you would start a new challenge.
Account violations
Max. drawdown varies by challenge type.
5 trading days, each ≥ 1% profit, before your first payout.
How each rule works
Daily loss limit: 2%
The daily loss limit resets at 00:00 UTC and is measured on the higher of your balance or equity at the reset, including open floating losses.
Worked example: a 2% limit gives about $2,000 of room on a $100,000 account ($1,000 on $50,000).
Maximum drawdown: 4% (EOD trailing)
The overall floor is 4% (EOD trailing), measured at end of day: the floor rises with your end-of-day balance and never moves back down.
Worked example: on a $100,000 account the breach point starts near $96,000.
Atlas Protector (Instant Zero variant)
On Instant Zero the Atlas Protector works differently: if your floating losses reach 1% of the starting balance, 50% of your open positions are closed. A second trigger on the same day is a breach.
Minimum hold time
Trades should be held at least 2 minutes. Trades closed faster are treated as short trades and their profit may be deducted.
Additional guidelines
Holding allowed across the weekend; new entries are not permitted.Copy trading is allowed only within your own accounts.- Overnight & weekend holding is allowed (swap fees apply, typically tripled over the weekend).
- Minimum hold time is 2 minutes.
- EAs are allowed in evaluation and funded.
- Hedging within one account is fine; hedging across accounts, brokers or firms is prohibited.
How the news rule works
High-impact releases are the ones flagged red on calendars such as Forex Factory: NFP, CPI, FOMC and central-bank rate decisions. During the evaluation there is no news restriction. On funded accounts, profit from any trade opened or closed within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact release may be removed. The full profit of the affected trade is excluded, not just the in-window portion. Trades held through the news are unaffected.
Rewards
The default split is 90%, upgradable to 100% with the profit-split add-on (+20% on the fee).
| Payout cycle | Timing |
|---|---|
| Standard | First at 28 days, then every 14 |
| Weekly (add-on, +20%) | First at 21 days, then every 7 |
Payout buffer
Your account must be 3% above the starting balance before you can take a payout. You withdraw the amount above the buffer, and the balance resets to the starting balance after each payout.
| Account | Buffer (3%) |
|---|---|
| $5K | $150 |
| $10K | $300 |
| $25K | $750 |
| $50K | $1,500 |
| $100K | $3,000 |
| $200K | $6,000 |
Payout caps
Payouts 1 to 3 are capped at 5% of the starting balance per cycle (for example $5,000 on a $100K account). From your 4th payout the cap is removed permanently.
Withdrawal methods
| Method | Limit | Fee | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crypto | Up to $1,000 | No fee | Within 4 hours |
| Rise | Over $1,000 | $50 | Within 4 hours |
How a payout works
- Complete the minimum trading days and build your balance past the 3% buffer.
- Close all open positions and make sure no breach is under review.
- Request from your dashboard. You withdraw the amount above the buffer and the balance resets to the starting balance.

Instant Zero vs Instant Funded
Both accounts skip the evaluation: you trade firm capital from day one. The difference is what you trade off. Instant Zero drops the consistency rule entirely, so one strong day can carry a whole payout cycle. In return it runs tighter risk limits. Instant Funded gives you more drawdown room, but your profit has to be spread across the cycle before you can withdraw.
| Feature | Instant Zero | Instant Funded |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation | None. Funded from day one | None. Funded from day one |
| Consistency rule | None. Your best day counts in full | 20%: no single day above 20% of cycle profit |
| Daily loss limit | 2% | 3% (trailing) |
| Max drawdown | 4%, end-of-day trailing | 5% trailing, locks at breakeven after 5% profit |
| Floating-loss protection | Atlas Protector: at 1% floating loss, half your positions close. Second trigger same day is a breach | Hard breach at 1.5% floating loss |
| Single-asset risk | Standard CFD rules | Max 1.5% of the account on one asset per day |
| Minimum trading days | 5, each with 1%+ profit | 5, each with 1%+ profit |
| First payout | 28 days, then every 14 | 28 days, then every 14 |
| Payout buffer | 3% above starting balance | None |
| Payout caps | 5% per cycle on payouts 1 to 3, then uncapped | None |
| Profit split | 90%, up to 100% with add-on | 90%, up to 100% with add-on |
| Fee refund | With your 3rd consecutive reward | With your 3rd consecutive reward |
Which one fits you? Pick Instant Zero if your edge shows up in bursts and you want every winning day to count toward the payout. Pick Instant Funded if you want more room on drawdown and do not mind spreading profit across the cycle.
