Risk limits
7.5% Daily Drawdown
Your account has a maximum daily drawdown limit of 7.5%. The daily drawdown resets every day at 00:00 CET.
Exactly how the daily reset works:
- Trades opened before 00:00 CET can remain open.
- Positions opened before the reset are not treated as new trades after the reset.
- The new day's drawdown calculation applies to positions and trades opened from 00:00 CET onward.
- Traders are not required to close positions before the daily reset.
- Overnight positions may remain open through the reset.
Risk limits
12.5% Static Maximum Drawdown
The maximum overall drawdown is 12.5% of the account's original starting balance. This drawdown is static — it does not trail upward as the account grows.
7.5%
Daily drawdown
Resets every day at 00:00 CET. Measured against your balance at the start of each day.
12.5%
Static maximum drawdown
Fixed at the original starting balance. Never trails your equity as your account grows.
Payouts
Get paid without unnecessary waiting.
2.5% Profit → First Payout
Once the account reaches 2.5% profit, while remaining within all account rules, you can request your first payout immediately.
- No minimum trading period
- No minimum number of trades
After the first payout, subsequent payouts can be requested every 7 days. There is no requirement to trade a certain number of days or complete a certain number of trades between payouts.
Payout requests are processed within approximately 12–24 hours. You can continue trading while your payout is being processed, and open positions do not need to be closed when requesting a payout.
You keep up to 90% of the profit you generate.
Freedom
Trade at your own pace.
There is no time limit to reach your profit target.
- No maximum account duration
- No minimum trading days
- No monthly trading requirement
- No deadline to reach the payout target
Freedom
Trade only when you see an opportunity.
There is no minimum number of trades, and there is no maximum number of trades. You can trade once, trade 100 times, or not trade for several days — the choice is yours.
Freedom
No consistency rules.
FundedMark does not impose any of the following:
- No daily profit target
- No maximum daily profit
- No consistency requirement
- No maximum profit limit
- No requirement to distribute profits evenly
- No required risk-to-reward ratio
Freedom
News trading is allowed.
There are no restrictions on scheduled news trading. Traders may:
- Open positions before economic announcements
- Trade during economic announcements
- Close or modify positions during announcements
- Trade immediately after announcements
- Trade during major market-moving events
Freedom
Hold positions your way.
- Weekend holding is allowed.
- Overnight holding is allowed.
- Traders are not required to close positions at the end of the trading day.
- Positions can remain open through weekends, holidays, and major events unless the underlying market is unavailable.
Gap protection. A legitimate position experiencing a market gap following a weekend, holiday, or major event does not automatically constitute a rule violation.
Execution
Normal market conditions are part of trading.
Slippage
Slippage is allowed in either direction. There is no maximum slippage limit imposed by the firm, provided the trade is executed at a genuine available market price. Normal market slippage is not a rule violation.
Spread Widening
Spreads may widen during volatile or illiquid conditions. There are no spread-widening restrictions or penalties.
Liquidity
Temporary reductions in liquidity are accepted as normal market conditions, including:
- · Partial fills
- · Wider spreads
- · Increased slippage
- · Reduced market depth
- · Temporary liquidity shortages
Stop-Losses
Stop-losses are optional. Traders are not required to use a stop-loss. If used, execution occurs at the best available market price and may experience slippage.
Protection
Your downside is limited to the account.
The trader will never be required to pay more than the available balance in the account. The trader will not be personally liable for losses exceeding the available account balance.
Trading freedom
Trade the strategy you believe in.
FundedMark does not reject a strategy simply because it is aggressive, highly active, automated, profitable, or unconventional. The following strategies are permitted:
- Scalping
- Day trading
- Swing trading
- Position trading
- Hedging
- Grid trading
- Martingale
- High-frequency trading
- Algorithmic trading
- Automated trading
- Expert Advisors
- Trading bots
- Manual trading
- Semi-automated trading
- Fundamental analysis
- Technical analysis
- News trading
- Quantitative strategies
- Discretionary strategies
- Copy trading
The strategy itself is not the issue. Risk management and compliance with the account rules are what matter.
Scalping is fully allowed.
There is no minimum holding period. A position can be held for seconds, minutes, hours, days, or weeks. Short-duration trading is permitted.
High-frequency trading is allowed.
HFT is permitted subject to the technical capabilities and limitations of the trading platform. There is no firm-imposed maximum number of trades.
EAs, bots & algorithms are allowed.
Expert Advisors, trading bots, algorithms, and automated trading systems are permitted. Trading may be manual, automatic, semi-automatic, or algorithmic, provided the activity does not involve prohibited or abusive behaviour.
Copy trading is allowed.
Legitimate copy-trading systems and copying between accounts are allowed where technically supported. Copy trading itself is not a rule violation.
Freedom
No trading-time restrictions.
Trade whenever the underlying market is available. There are no restrictions on:
- Trading sessions
- Trading hours
- Trading days
- Market openings
- Market closings
- News periods
- Overnight trading
- Weekend holding
Your trading schedule is your choice.
Fairness
Your success is not a reason to restrict you.
Trading may only be suspended when technically or legally necessary. FundedMark will not suspend or restrict an account simply because:
- The trader is profitable
- The trader is highly profitable
- The trader trades frequently
- The trader trades during volatility
- The trader trades news
- The trader uses an EA
- The trader uses high-frequency trading
- The trader uses an aggressive strategy
There is no discretionary suspension simply because a particular trading strategy is successful.
