Funded account rules
Short trades
On funded accounts, profit from any trade held for less than 3 minutes is deducted.
On funded accounts, any trade that is closed less than 3 minutes after it was opened has its profit deducted.
- Every such trade is deducted. There is no allowance and no count.
- Losing short trades are not affected.
- The rule never breaches the account.
- Evaluation accounts are not affected.
Partial closes and EAs
The hold time is measured per trade, from open to close. Scaling out of a position within 3 minutes, or an EA that takes quick profits, will trigger deductions on funded accounts.
If the same trade is caught by more than one profit rule (for example the margin-usage rule closed it within 3 minutes), the profit is only deducted once.
