Drawdown Limits

OneFunded uses equity-based drawdown — floating (unrealized) losses count toward your limits at all times, and open positions can trigger a breach.

Daily Drawdown (resets at 00:00 UTC)

• Value & Flash: 4%
• Core: 5%
• Instant: 3%

Maximum Overall Drawdown (permanent, never resets)

• Value: 8%
• Core: 10%
• Flash & Instant: 6%

Consistency Rule

Your single best profit day must not exceed a set percentage of your total profit for the period. This rule does not breach your account — you simply continue trading until the ratio falls within the limit.

• Value & Flash: Best day ≤ 35% of total profit
• Core: Best day ≤ 50% of total profit
• Instant: Best day ≤ 20% of total profit
• Funded stage (Core, Flash, Value): Best day ≤ 30% of total profit

Stop Loss

Stop losses are recommended but not mandatory. However, trading without stop losses combined with large floating losses, excessive leverage, or recovery-style behavior may be flagged during risk or payout reviews and can lead to trading restrictions.

News Trading

Permitted across all stages. The News Volatility Period is ±5 minutes around any high-impact news release. Trading during this window is allowed, but activity that appears to exploit price spikes or abnormal volatility may be reviewed. Repeated exploitation of news windows may result in warnings or account termination.

Expert Advisors (EAs)

Allowed with prior written approval only. Email support@onefunded.com with the EA name and link before use. Unapproved EAs are prohibited.

Copy Trading

Permitted only between your own accounts. Copying between different users, or any coordinated signal/strategy sharing across unrelated accounts, is prohibited.

Overnight Trading

Allowed across all challenge types and the funded stage. Overnight positions may incur swap/rollover fees.

Inactivity

• Evaluation: At least one trade every 60 days or the account is closed (no refund).
• Funded: At least one trade every 30 days or the account is closed (no refund or payout).

Prohibited Practices

The following are strictly forbidden on all accounts:

• Data freezing and trading on delayed or external data feeds

• Tick scalping designed to exploit platform microstructure
• Gap trading without a legitimate directional thesis
• Cross-account hedging (across OneFunded or external accounts)
• Martingale and uncontrolled grid strategies
• One-sided bets with disproportionate, escalating exposure
• Unauthorized copy trading or signal mirroring from external sources
• Allowing third parties to trade your account or passing challenges on behalf of others
