RULES

Every rule, in plain language.

No consistency rules. No lot-size gates. No time limits. Read the rules for the programme you’re considering, then start trading. If it’s not on this page, it’s not a rule.

The formal legal version lives in the Challenge Rules document. This page is the plain-English summary; the legal document controls in case of conflict.

How the one-phase evaluation works

Four steps from purchase to funded. Each programme follows the same flow; only the profit target, drawdown, and leverage change per programme.

1

Choose your programme and size

Pick a simulated capital tier from $5K to $200K and an evaluation style: Classic for a balanced path, Pro for a tighter drawdown with higher target, Turbo for the cheapest fee, or One Rule to skip the evaluation entirely. The programme determines the profit target, drawdown and leverage you trade under.

2

Trade to the profit target without breaching a rule

Hit the profit target (10% Classic, 12% Pro, 9% Turbo) without touching the daily-loss limit (3% of starting balance in any UTC day) or the static maximum drawdown (6%/5%/3% respectively). There is no time limit — take days, weeks or months.

3

Pass automatically and receive funding the same session

The engine detects the profit target hit and transitions the account to funded status in the same trading session. No manual verification, no waiting queue. You keep trading the same positions on firm capital.

4

Trade funded capital and request payouts in USDT

You keep 80% of profits (optional 90/10 upgrade). Payouts are on-request in USDT, gated by two-factor authentication. There is no minimum holding period. The funded account continues until you hit the drawdown liquidation on firm capital.

Why these rules exist

Our risk framework in three paragraphs.

The daily-loss and maximum-drawdown limits exist to establish the one thing every prop firm needs to know about a trader before funding them: can they stop trading when a day is going badly. A trader who respects a 3% daily-loss floor on an evaluation will respect a 3% daily-loss floor on a funded account. The rule is not an obstacle to passing — it is the exact behaviour the funded account rewards.

The static drawdown — 6% on Classic, 5% on Pro, 3% on Turbo — measures from the starting balance, not from the equity high. Trailing drawdowns are an industry convention that quietly tighten as traders perform well, effectively punishing winners. Static drawdowns are flatter: the dollar level that breaches the account is the same on day one and on day sixty. Traders can plan sizing around a known floor instead of a moving target.

Leverage caps on evaluation accounts (1:10 crypto/indices/forex, 1:5 equities/commodities) are deliberately lower than exchange leverage so one bad trade cannot end an evaluation in a single tick. Funded One Rule accounts run at exchange leverage because the account holder has already demonstrated — by purchasing and trading — that they understand the 1% liquidation threshold. Leverage is not a feature we market; it is a risk parameter calibrated to the account’s maturity.

What happens when a rule triggers

The engine enforces rules in real time — there is no manual review, no gray zone, no discretionary overrides. Here is what the account holder sees in each breach scenario.

Daily-loss breachAll open positions close at market. The account is marked as breached in the audit log with the UTC timestamp and equity curve. No further trading is possible on that account. The breach record is permanent and the account cannot be reinstated.
Max drawdown breachIdentical mechanics to a daily-loss breach: positions close at market, the account is marked breached, the audit log records the tick that touched the drawdown floor. A single tick below the floor is a breach — drawdown is measured intraday, not end-of-day.
One Rule liquidationAccount equity touching −1% of starting balance liquidates all positions at market. The account is marked liquidated. Any profits already withdrawn to USDT are kept. The account cannot be reinstated — purchase a new One Rule account to continue.
Profit target hitThe engine detects the first tick that takes account equity to or above the profit target. The evaluation is marked passed in the same session; the account transitions to funded status without a manual review. Open positions continue trading on the newly-funded account.
Prohibited-practice violationDepending on the specific violation, affected accounts are forfeited. Cross-account hedging forfeits both accounts. Market-abuse patterns (spoofing, layering, quote-stuffing, wash trading) forfeit the account and may trigger a permanent ban. Disputes go through support with full audit trail.

Prohibited practices

Every prop firm has these. Ours are surfaced up front so there are no surprises. Violations forfeit the affected account with full audit trail; disputes go through support.

Cross-account hedgingYou may not hold offsetting positions across two JTX Markets accounts to game the drawdown rules. Detected via correlation analysis; violation forfeits both accounts.
Copy trading between accountsSame trades on multiple funded accounts held by the same trader is treated as martingale abuse. One trader, one strategy.
Third-party tradingOnly the account holder may trade the account. Managed-account services and prop-of-props schemes are not permitted.
News-arb tacticsTrading the millisecond after a scheduled economic release using data-feed latency arbitrage is not permitted. Regular discretionary trading around news is fine.
ManipulationSpoofing, layering, quote-stuffing, wash trading and any other market-abuse patterns are prohibited.

Frequently asked questions about the rules

Mechanics questions traders ask once they have read the rulebook. If you want programme or pricing questions instead, see the programme FAQs.

How is the maximum drawdown calculated?
Maximum drawdown is static from the starting balance, not trailing. On a $25K Classic account the drawdown floor is $23,500 (6% below the $25,000 starting balance), and it stays at $23,500 whether you are up $500 or up $5,000. Static drawdowns are easier to manage than trailing — you always know the exact dollar level at which the account breaches.
When does the daily-loss limit reset?
The daily-loss window resets at 00:00 UTC every day. Realised and unrealised losses both count toward the limit — the rule triggers on the lowest equity touched during the UTC day, not on end-of-day balance. If your equity touches −3% of starting balance at any moment during the UTC day, the daily-loss rule has triggered.
What happens if I breach a rule?
The affected account is immediately forfeited and cannot be reinstated. Trades close at market. The forfeited account is marked as breached in the audit trail with the specific rule, timestamp, and equity curve. You can purchase a new evaluation at any time — there is no cooldown period. Breaches do not affect other active accounts under the same trader.
Can I hold positions overnight or over the weekend?
Yes. There is no overnight-holding rule and no weekend-closure rule on any programme. Crypto trades 24/7 and holds through weekends normally. Forex holds over weekends at normal swap rates. Equity perpetuals continue trading 24/7 against reference prices. You bear overnight funding or swap costs — they are published on each market page.
What is the difference between evaluation leverage and One Rule leverage?
Evaluation accounts (Classic, Pro, Turbo) cap leverage at 1:10 on crypto/indices/forex and 1:5 on equities and commodities. Funded One Rule accounts run at exchange leverage: 1:100 on crypto, 1:50 on indices and forex, 1:20 on commodities, 1:10 on equities. The lower evaluation leverage is a risk guardrail — one trade cannot wipe out the evaluation in a single tick.
Is there a consistency rule or minimum trading days requirement?
No. There is no consistency rule (requiring no single trade to contribute more than X% of total profit), no minimum trading days, no minimum lot size, and no required asset classes. You can hit the profit target in a single trade, on a single day, in a single asset. If it is not on the rules page, it is not a rule.
What counts as a prohibited news-arb tactic versus normal news trading?
Latency arbitrage — using a faster data feed to trade the millisecond after a scheduled economic release before our price updates — is prohibited. Regular discretionary trading around economic releases is fine: forming a view on an upcoming NFP print and sizing into it, or trading the volatility expansion after a rate decision, are both normal trading activity we do not restrict.
Can I run multiple challenges or funded accounts simultaneously?
Yes. Multiple active challenges and funded accounts per trader are permitted. Cross-account hedging (opposite positions on two accounts to neutralise drawdown risk) is prohibited and detected via correlation analysis — a violation forfeits both accounts. Independent strategies across multiple accounts are fine.
What happens to a funded account if I breach the drawdown on it?
Funded accounts have the same drawdown rule as their original evaluation programme (6%/5%/3% static from starting balance for Classic/Pro/Turbo; 1% liquidation for One Rule). A breach on a funded account liquidates it and ends the funding — you do not lose any money paid as fees, and you keep any payouts already withdrawn. The account cannot be reinstated.
Who adjudicates disputes about rule interpretations?
Disputes go through support with a full audit trail — every tick of price, every order, every equity level is recorded. Support reviews the specific rule, the engine state at the moment of the alleged breach, and the published rulebook. The formal legal challenge-rules document controls in case of conflict between the plain-English version and the legal text.
