There is no time limit to reach the profit target on any Challenge Account.

This means you are not under any time pressure to complete your challenge. You can work toward your profit target at your own pace while following proper risk management and your trading strategy.

For example, if you purchase a $10,000 Challenge Account with an 8% profit target, you may achieve that target in a few weeks, several months, or any other timeframe that suits your trading style. There is no deadline for completing the challenge.

Our goal is to evaluate your trading skills, risk management, discipline, and consistency—not how quickly you reach the profit target.

Account Inactivity

The only time-related restriction applies to account inactivity.

If no trades are executed for 180 consecutive days (6 months), the account will be considered inactive and will be marked as Failed.

This rule applies to all account types, including:

Challenge Accounts

Funded (Real) Accounts

To keep your account active, simply execute at least one trade within every 180-day period. This rule is intended solely to prevent accounts from remaining inactive for an extended period.

Minimum Trading Days

Some Prop plans include a Minimum Trading Days requirement, which is clearly specified in the plan's specifications.

If your selected plan includes this requirement, you must not only achieve the required Profit Target, but also complete the required minimum number of trading days.

In other words, reaching the Profit Target before completing the required minimum trading days is not permitted.

Example

Assume your selected plan has the following requirements:

Minimum Trading Days: 5

Profit Target: $1,000

In this case, you must achieve the $1,000 Profit Target over at least 5 trading days.

If you reach the $1,000 Profit Target in only 3 trading days, even though you have achieved the required profit, your current challenge stage will be Reset, as the Minimum Trading Days requirement has not been met.

Repeated Violation

The first violation of this rule will result in your current challenge stage being Reset.

If this rule is violated again after the reset, your account will be marked as Failed.

Trading Volume Consistency During Trading Days

If you achieve significant profits during the first one or two trading days, your trading volume on the following trading days must remain reasonably consistent with your previous trading activity.

Trading days are intended to reflect genuine and consistent trading activity. Therefore, placing trades with extremely small position sizes solely to satisfy the minimum trading day requirement or the profit withdrawal requirements will not be accepted.

Example

Assume that during your first two trading days, you traded with an average position size of approximately 2 lots and achieved most of your Profit Target.

In this case, placing trades with position sizes such as 0.01 lots merely to complete the required trading days or to earn the remaining profit will not be considered valid trading activity, as such position sizes are not reasonably consistent with your previous trading behavior.

Therefore, your trading volume throughout the evaluation period, as well as while completing the minimum trading day requirement, should remain reasonably consistent with your previous trading pattern and should not differ significantly without a logical reason.

This rule applies both to completing the minimum trading days during the Challenge stage and to completing the required 5 active trading days before the first profit withdrawal on a Funded (Real) Account.

To ensure that traders qualify by demonstrating consistent performance and proper risk management, rather than relying on excessive risk or luck, the following rules apply.

2.1 Profit Concentration Rule (80% Rule)

If, during a single trading day, the total profit from your winning trades only reaches 80% or more of the Challenge Profit Target, that profit will not be counted toward passing the challenge.

Instead, your current challenge stage will be reset.

This rule exists to encourage disciplined and sustainable trading rather than high-risk trading behavior or gambling-like strategies.

Achieving 80% or more of the required profit target in a single trading day is considered inconsistent with responsible risk management and does not reflect the long-term trading discipline expected from a funded trader.

How is this rule calculated?

Only profitable closed trades are included in this calculation.

Losing trades are not deducted from your profitable trades for the purpose of this rule.

Example:

Assume you have a $10,000 Challenge Account with an 8% Profit Target ($800).

During one trading day you execute 5 trades:

2 trades close with a loss.

3 trades close with profits totaling $650.

Although your net profit for the day may be lower after accounting for the losing trades, the system only considers the $650 of gross profitable trades.

Since $650 exceeds 80% of the $800 profit target ($640), the 80% Rule has been violated.

As a result, your current challenge stage will be reset.

First Violation

The first violation of the 80% Rule results in a reset of your current challenge stage.

Your challenge will restart from the beginning of the current phase.

Repeated Violations

If this rule is violated again after a reset, the account will be marked as Failed.

Please note that this policy applies across your trading profile.

If you have previously had any account reset due to the 80% Rule, you are considered familiar with this rule. Any subsequent violation of the same rule on another eligible account may result in that account being immediately failed.

2.2 Maximum Risk Per Trade (Single Trade Risk)

Some of our Prop plans include a Maximum Single Trade Risk rule.

For those plans, the maximum permitted loss on any individual trade is 3% of the account balance (or as specified in the plan's rules).

Violating this rule during either:

the Challenge stage, or

the Funded (Real) stage,

will result in the account being Failed.

How is this rule measured?

This rule is evaluated only when the trade is closed.

This means:

A trade is allowed to fluctuate beyond a 3% floating loss while it remains open.

However, when the trade is closed, its realized loss must not exceed 3%.

Important

This rule is calculated individually for each trade.

It is not based on the combined loss of multiple open positions.

Each trade is evaluated separately, and every individual closed trade must remain within the maximum permitted loss.

Plan Availability

The Maximum Single Trade Risk rule does not apply to every Prop plan.

Only selected plans include this restriction.

Please refer to the dedicated page for your selected Prop plan to verify whether this rule applies to your account.

Our Recommendation

We strongly recommend maintaining reasonable position sizes and following sound risk management principles throughout your trading journey.

Our evaluation is designed to reward traders who demonstrate consistency, discipline, and long-term sustainability—not excessive risk-taking.

To ensure proper risk management, all Prop accounts are subject to Daily Drawdown and Overall Drawdown limits.

Both limits are calculated based on your real-time Equity, meaning that both closed trades and floating profit/loss (Floating P/L) are included in the calculation.

3.1 Daily Drawdown

The Daily Drawdown is calculated based on your account (Balance/Equity) at the beginning of each trading day, at the moment the first daily candle is formed.

Example

Assume:

Account Balance at the start of the day: $10,000

Maximum Daily Drawdown: 5%

In this case, your maximum permitted loss for that trading day is $500.

This limit is calculated using your current Equity. Therefore, unrealized losses from open positions are also included in the calculation, even if those trades have not yet been closed.

Daily Drawdown Increase with Realized Profit

If you generate realized profit during the same trading day, your Daily Drawdown limit will increase by the amount of your realized profit.

For example:

Starting Balance: $10,000

Daily Drawdown: 5% = $500

Realized Profit during the day: $400

In this case:

Initial Daily Drawdown: $500

Realized Profit: $400

Your maximum allowable loss for the remainder of that trading day becomes $900.

Viewing Your Drawdown

Within the Analytics section of the trading platform, you can monitor your risk limits in real time.

This section displays:

Starting Balance of the current trading day

Maximum Daily Drawdown

Remaining Daily Drawdown

Overall Drawdown

Remaining Overall Drawdown

All values are updated in real time, allowing you to continuously monitor your account status.

3.2 Overall Drawdown

The Overall Drawdown is calculated based on the account's Initial Balance and remains fixed throughout the entire Challenge or Funded account.

Example

Assume:

Initial Account Balance: $10,000

Maximum Overall Drawdown: 12%

In this case, the maximum total loss allowed is $1,200.

Therefore, your account Equity must never fall below $8,800.

Like the Daily Drawdown, the Overall Drawdown is calculated using your real-time Equity, meaning both closed and floating profit/loss are taken into account.

Important

Both the Daily Drawdown and Overall Drawdown limits must be respected at all times.

If, at any moment, your account Equity exceeds either drawdown limit, your account will be considered in violation of the trading rules and will be Failed, in accordance with the rules of your selected Prop plan.

After successfully passing the Challenge and receiving a Funded (Real) Account, you may withdraw your trading profits according to the conditions of your selected Prop plan.

The Profit Split varies depending on the selected plan and ranges from 80% to 90%. The exact Profit Split for each plan is specified on its dedicated plan page.

4.1 Weekly Payout Plans

For plans that offer Weekly Profit Withdrawals, withdrawal requests can be submitted every Friday.

Once your request has been reviewed and approved, the approved profit will be transferred on the same day to your USD wallet at your selected exchange or preferred payment method.

First Profit Withdrawal Requirements

Your first profit withdrawal is available once both of the following conditions have been met:

At least 14 days have passed since your Funded (Real) Account was activated and your first trade was executed.

At least 5 active trading days have been completed on the account.

After your first withdrawal, future withdrawal requests may be submitted every Friday in accordance with your plan's weekly payout schedule.

4.2 Daily Payout Plans

For plans that offer Daily Profit Withdrawals, you may submit a withdrawal request on the same day you become eligible for a payout.

Once the request has been reviewed and approved, the approved profit will be transferred on the same day to your USD wallet or your selected payment method.

Important

The payout schedule, Profit Split, and any additional withdrawal conditions are determined by your selected Prop plan.

Please refer to your plan's dedicated page for the complete payout details.

To prevent trading based on the extreme volatility caused by major economic announcements, any trading activity during the restricted news window is prohibited.

The official source for determining High-Impact News is the economic calendar on FXStreet.com. Only events marked as High Impact (Red Folder) are subject to this rule.

The restricted period begins 5 minutes before the scheduled news release and ends 5 minutes after the release.

5.1 Pending Orders

Placing any Pending Order during the period from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after a High-Impact News event is strictly prohibited.

This rule applies regardless of whether the order is triggered or not. Simply placing a Pending Order during the restricted period is considered a violation of the rules.

5.2 Opening New Positions

Opening any new Market Order manually during the period from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after a High-Impact News event is strictly prohibited.

5.3 Managing Existing Positions

If you already have an open position before the restricted period begins, and its Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) were set before the restricted period, you may keep the position open.

However, during the restricted period, you are not permitted to:

Modify the Take Profit (TP)

Modify the Stop Loss (SL)

Close the trade manually, whether in profit or loss

5.4 Automatic Position Closure

If a trade was opened before the restricted period and both its Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) were placed before the news window began, the trade may be closed automatically by the system when either the TP or SL is reached.

This is permitted only if:

You do not have any hedging positions on the same instrument or on related instruments.

You do not have any positions on inversely correlated instruments intended to circumvent this rule.

However, if the trade is closed manually during the restricted period, or if hedge positions or correlated positions are used to bypass this rule, it will be considered a rule violation.

5.5 Trade and Order Modifications

During the period from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after a High-Impact News event, the following actions are strictly prohibited:

Changing the volume of an open trade

Changing the volume of a Pending Order

Modifying the Take Profit (TP)

Modifying the Stop Loss (SL)

Editing any Pending Order

Rule Enforcement

During the Challenge (Evaluation) Stage

Any violation of the High-Impact News Trading rules will result in the immediate Failure of the current Challenge stage.

During the Funded (Real) Account Stage

If this rule is violated on a Funded (Real) Account, only the profit generated from the violating trade(s) will be deducted from the account.

However, if removing that profit causes the account to exceed its permitted Daily Drawdown, the Funded Account will also be marked as Failed.

Some of our Prop plans include a Consistency Rule.

This rule does not apply to all ParoxFX Prop plans.

To determine whether this rule applies to your selected plan and to see the exact Consistency percentage, please refer to your plan's dedicated page on our website.

Purpose of the Consistency Rule

The Consistency Rule is designed to ensure that your profits are generated through consistent trading, proper risk management, and sustainable performance, rather than relying on a single exceptionally profitable trading day.

The examples below use a 30% Consistency Rule for illustration purposes only. The actual percentage may vary depending on your selected plan.

How the Rule Works

Your largest profitable trading day must not exceed the percentage specified in your plan of the total profit earned during the current stage.

For example, if your plan has a 30% Consistency Rule, your highest profitable trading day must not be greater than 30% of your total profit for that stage.

This rule applies to both the Challenge (Evaluation) stage and the Funded (Real) Account stage.

Consistency During the Challenge

During the Challenge stage, if the Consistency Rule is not met, the Challenge cannot be passed until the required ratio is satisfied.

Example

Assume that at the end of your Challenge:

Total Profit: $1,000

Consistency Percentage: 30%

In this case, your largest profitable trading day must not exceed $300.

If your best trading day generated $500 in profit, this exceeds the allowed limit, and therefore your Challenge cannot yet be passed.

How Can This Be Fixed?

You do not need to restart your Challenge.

Simply continue trading and generate additional consistent profits over the following trading days until your total profit increases.

For example, if your total profit increases to $1,700:

30% of $1,700 equals $510.

Since your best trading day was $500, which is now below $510, the Consistency Rule is satisfied and your Challenge can be successfully passed.

Consistency During the Funded Account Stage

The same rule applies when requesting a profit withdrawal from a Funded (Real) Account.

If the Consistency Rule is not satisfied at the time of your withdrawal request, your payout request will not be approved until the required ratio has been met.

Example

Assume:

Total Profit: $2,000

Consistency Percentage: 30%

Your largest profitable trading day must not exceed $600.

If your best trading day generated $900 in profit, the Consistency Rule has not been satisfied, and your withdrawal request cannot be approved.

How Can Your Withdrawal Be Approved?

You may continue trading and generate additional consistent profits to increase your total profit.

For example, if your total profit increases to $3,100:

30% of $3,100 equals $930.

Since your best trading day was $900, which is now below $930, the Consistency Rule is satisfied and your profit withdrawal can be approved.

To maintain fairness, transparency, and trading conditions that closely reflect real financial markets, certain trading methods and strategies are strictly prohibited on all ParoxFX Prop accounts.

The use of any of the following practices will be considered a violation of the trading rules and will be handled in accordance with this policy.

7.1 Hunting

Frequently opening and closing trades or placing orders within very short time intervals for the purpose of exploiting order execution conditions is strictly prohibited.

This rule applies equally to both manual trading and automated trading (Expert Advisors / Algorithms).

Hunting Rules

For all of the following actions, a minimum interval of 61 seconds must be maintained:

A minimum interval of 61 seconds is required between any two trading actions (opening a trade, closing a trade, or placing a new order).

A minimum interval of 61 seconds is required between opening one position and opening another position.

The interval between opening and closing the same position must be at least 61 seconds.

Closing a position and opening a new position within less than 61 seconds is considered a rule violation.

Exception

Partial position closures (Partial Close) are not subject to the Hunting Rule and are fully permitted.

7.2 Arbitrage

Using price discrepancies between multiple pricing sources, particularly during economic news releases, to generate artificial or unrealistic profits or to exploit pricing differences is strictly prohibited.

7.3 Multi-Account Hedging

Any form of hedging between two or more trading accounts intended to manipulate trading results, artificially reduce risk, or create unrealistic trading performance is strictly prohibited.

7.4 Abuse of Demo Execution Conditions

Exploiting differences between demo and live execution conditions, including the absence of Slippage or Requotes on demo accounts, to obtain unrealistic trading results is strictly prohibited.

7.5 Market Close / Order Gapping Abuse

Placing orders near the market close with the intention of profiting from price gaps at the next market open, particularly on stock-related instruments, is strictly prohibited.

Rule Enforcement

During the Challenge (Evaluation) Stage

Any violation of the prohibited trading methods or strategies described in this section will result in the immediate Failure of the current Challenge stage.

During the Funded (Real) Account Stage

If any of these rules are violated on a Funded (Real) Account, only the profit generated from the violating trade(s) will be deducted from the account.

However, if removing that profit causes the account to exceed its permitted Daily Drawdown, the Funded Account will also be marked as Failed.

High Risk Accounts are designed for traders who prefer greater freedom in choosing their trading strategies and risk exposure.

In these accounts, many of the standard Prop Trading restrictions do not apply, allowing traders greater flexibility in how they trade.

However, these accounts are still subject to a number of specific rules that must be followed.

General Rules for High Risk Accounts

Standard Prop Trading rules that apply to other plans are not enforced on High Risk Accounts, allowing traders greater flexibility in executing their trading strategies.

On these accounts:

News Trading during High-Impact Economic News is permitted.

Hunting (opening and closing trades within less than 61 seconds) is permitted.

The common trading-style restrictions that apply to other Prop plans are not enforced on High Risk Accounts.

Weekly Profit Withdrawal Limit

For High Risk Accounts, the maximum profit that can be withdrawn each week is limited to 5% of the account's Initial Balance.

If your account generates more profit than this amount, only the maximum permitted amount can be withdrawn, and any excess profit above the weekly limit will be deducted from the withdrawable amount.

Example

Assume your account has an Initial Balance of $10,000.

In this case, your maximum weekly withdrawal is $500.

If you submit a withdrawal request for $700, only $500 will be paid, and the remaining $200 will be deducted from the withdrawable amount.

Minimum Trading Days During the Challenge

During the Challenge stage, traders must achieve the required Profit Target over at least the minimum number of trading days specified for their selected plan.

If the Profit Target is achieved before completing the required minimum trading days, the current Challenge stage will be Reset.

If this rule is violated again after the reset, the Challenge Account will be marked as Failed.

Profit Withdrawal Conditions

Partial profit withdrawals are not permitted on High Risk Accounts.

Profit withdrawals are entirely optional, and there is no obligation to request a payout.

However, if you decide to withdraw your profits, you must withdraw the entire realized profit balance of the account.

Requests to withdraw only a portion of the accumulated profit will not be accepted.

Purpose of This Structure

High Risk Accounts are designed for experienced traders who want greater freedom to implement their own trading strategies.

In exchange for this flexibility, the profit withdrawal structure is designed to maintain an appropriate balance between trader freedom and the company's risk management policies.
