YOUR ACCOUNT RULEBOOK
Speedy. Your rules.
Loss limits first. Every rule below. Open only what you need explained.
Daily loss limit
4%
Daily loss limit
Speedy has a 4% daily drawdown limit. Equity is your balance plus the floating profit or loss of open positions.
Check the live daily level in Trader Area → Accounts Overview → your account → Go to Metrics. The daily level and maximum floor are separate.
At 21:00 UTC, take the higher of account balance and equity at that moment. Subtract 4% of the starting balance to get the daily loss level. Earlier intraday highs do not set this reference.
A simple example
Your closed balance can look fine while an open loss pushes equity through the daily level. Spreads, swaps and slippage can change equity too.
What happens if this is not met?
Crossing a drawdown level breaches the account. It becomes inactive and accumulated profit is forfeited.

Full explanation: What happens at market rollover?
Maximum loss limit
8% trailing
Maximum loss limit
The maximum floor follows the highest equity reached, including profit on open positions. It never moves down and stops rising at the starting balance.
A payout reduces your balance without lowering the maximum floor. Check the room that will remain after the debit.
The daily loss limit still applies separately. Check both actual levels in your Trader Area.
A simple example
On a $100,000 starting balance, the initial maximum floor is $92,000. If highest equity reaches $104,000, the floor becomes $96,000.
MAXIMUM FLOOR EXAMPLE
See how the floor moves.
Hypothetical maximum-floor example only, not your current room to trade. Your daily level is separate. Reducing this slider resets the example; a real trailing floor never moves down.
What happens if this is not met?
Crossing the maximum drawdown level breaches the account. A later recovery does not undo a confirmed breach.
Full explanation: Speedy drawdown limits
Full explanation: Why was my account breached?
Maximum risk per asset
4%
Maximum risk per asset
The maximum risk per asset on Speedy is 4%. It is measured using the planned stop-loss distance, not an account-wide daily exposure allowance.
On funded accounts, exceeding the permitted risk allowance can cause an automatic breach. Trading restrictions also apply during evaluation and are checked at review.
Planned risk uses position size and stop-loss distance, is assessed per asset on each account, and is recalculated when the stop changes. Repeated deliberate attempts to avoid the limit by risking slightly less may be penalised.
A simple example
Using a $100,000 reference balance, $4,100 of planned stop-loss risk is 4.1%, above the 4% limit.
What happens if this is not met?
Exceeding the maximum risk per asset causes a hard breach. No system alert does not mean the risk is permitted.
Full explanation: Max risk per asset
Full explanation: Speedy rules at a glance
Stop-loss placement
Required on entry
Stop-loss placement
Without No Stop Loss on Entry, the stop must be attached when the position opens. A missing stop causes the position to close and records a soft breach.
With No Stop Loss on Entry, the deadline is five minutes from opening, measured using server timestamps. A stop is still required before closing. Removing it does not restart the clock.
On all account types, consistent trading without a stop loss can cause payout rejection and an account breach. For an isolated case, the affected P&L is deducted from the payout share.
A simple example
With the add-on, opening at 14:00 and closing at 14:04 without ever setting a stop still breaches the stop-loss requirement.
See the worked example
What happens if this is not met?
Persistent missing-stop trading: payout rejection and account breach. Isolated cases: affected P&L is deducted from the payout share.
Full explanation: When must I add a stop loss?
Full explanation: What do the add-ons change?
Minimum trade duration
2 minutes
Minimum trade duration
Hold each position for at least two minutes, measured by server entry and close timestamps, not a rounded platform duration.
On all account types, if short-trade profits exceed the payout share but do not exceed account profit, they are deducted from the account balance and the payout is rejected. If they exceed account profit, the account resets to its starting balance instead. Both cases have a seven-day wait before another payout request.
Never delay a protective exit or remove a stop loss just to reach two minutes. One short trade does not automatically breach the account.
A simple example
A trade opened at 11:14:20 and closed at 11:15:07 lasted 47 seconds. If it made $300, that profit is removed.
See the worked example
What happens if this is not met?
Short-trade profit is removed. Where it exceeds the payout share, the account-profit comparison determines a balance deduction or reset. Other eligibility and risk rules still apply.
Full explanation: How long must I hold a trade?
Full explanation: Tick scalping and minimum trade duration
News trading
Directional allowed
News trading
On Speedy, directional news trading is allowed. Drawdown, exposure, stop-loss and other trading rules continue to apply.
News bracketing, hedging or opposing pending orders designed to catch either direction remain prohibited.
There is no five-minute news-entry restriction on Speedy. Positions can be held or closed through the release. Normal stop-loss, drawdown, duration and conduct rules remain in force.
A simple example
A single directional news trade is different from opposing orders set to capture either direction.
What happens if this is not met?
Prohibited news trading or bracketing can lead to profit adjustment, payout rejection or an account breach.
Full explanation: Can I trade during news releases?
Full explanation: News bracketing
Weekend holding
Add-on required
Weekend holding
Weekend Holding must be attached to this specific account. It allows positions to stay open over the weekend and trading in markets that remain open, such as crypto.
Without the add-on, positions close automatically at 20:30 UTC before the weekend and weekend-open markets cannot be traded.
The add-on does not protect against gaps, slippage or drawdown. If a position closes unexpectedly, support needs to check the instrument schedule, account status and other rules.
A simple example
An add-on on a different account does not cover this one. Check the order or Trader Area before holding over the weekend.
What happens if this is not met?
Without the add-on, positions are closed before the weekend. Drawdown and other trading rules remain active.
Full explanation: Can I hold trades over the weekend?
Full explanation: What do the add-ons change?
Adding to a losing position
Time OR price limit
Adding to a losing position
For forex and metals, an addition while the original position is losing must be less than two minutes after the original entry OR less than five pips from its entry price. Either condition is enough. Exactly two minutes fails the time condition; exactly five pips fails the price condition.
Pro cannot be used to add to a losing position across Speedy, Flex or Instant Funding accounts. Copying and adding positions are separate rules.
The stated price distance for indices is 10 points. For crypto it is $10 or 0.15% of entry price; confirm the applicable instrument distance with support before trading. The time condition is an alternative to the applicable price condition.
A simple example
A forex addition after 90 seconds and eight pips passes the time condition. An addition after three minutes and three pips passes the price condition. Three minutes and eight pips passes neither.
See the worked example
What happens if this is not met?
An addition outside both conditions is prohibited. Automatic breach enforcement applies on funded accounts. Meeting one condition does not approve the wider strategy.
Full explanation: Can I add to a losing position?
Full explanation: Can I scale in or trade multiple accounts?
EAs, bots & trading tools
Manual trading only
EAs, bots & trading tools
EAs, bots, scripts, automated signals and tools that open, modify, manage or close trades are prohibited in evaluation and funded accounts.
This includes automated trailing stops and auto-breakeven tools. Charting, alerts, calculators and tools such as Magic Keys need support approval before use.
Approval of an analysis tool never permits automated execution or trade management. Patterns can prompt a review, but timing or lot size alone is not proof.
A simple example
A calculator that only assists analysis still needs approval. A script that automatically moves a stop manages a trade and is prohibited.
See the worked example
What happens if this is not met?
Prohibited automation can lead to suspension, account termination or payout disqualification.
Full explanation: Can I use EAs, bots or trade copiers?
Full explanation: Expert Advisors and automation
Copying & coordinated trading
No automatic copying
Copying & coordinated trading
Place each trade yourself on each of your own accounts. Copiers, bridges, scripts and automatically executed signals are not allowed.
Coordinated execution between different people is prohibited.
Manual repetition is not unrestricted: adding-to-a-loser applicability, hedging, maximum exposure and capital-allocation rules still apply across accounts.
A simple example
Manually entering your own setup on your own accounts is different from software replicating the entries or a group coordinating execution.
What happens if this is not met?
Prohibited copying or coordination can cause profit adjustment, payout rejection or an account breach.
Full explanation: Trade coordination and copy trading
Full explanation: Can I scale in or trade multiple accounts?
Leverage
1:30
Leverage
Speedy leverage is 1:30 leverage, with 1:3 on metals and crypto.
Leverage is not a loss allowance. Drawdown and risk-per-asset limits still apply.
What happens if this is not met?
Using available leverage does not exempt a position from any risk or conduct rule.
Full explanation: Speedy rules at a glance
Daily rollover
21:00 UTC
Daily rollover
The daily drawdown reset is fixed at 21:00 UTC all year, without daylight-saving changes. For about an hour around it, liquidity can thin and spreads can widen.
Rollover starts the next daily cycle. It does not lower the maximum floor, reopen a breached account or forgive trading-rule failures.
Use the live daily figure in Trader Area. A stop price is not a guarantee of execution at that price.
A simple example
Spread widening can push equity through a drawdown level even when the trade looked comfortably inside it a few minutes earlier.
What happens if this is not met?
Equity can breach a drawdown level during rollover. The maximum floor and other rules remain in force.
Full explanation: What happens at market rollover?
Full explanation: Why was my account breached?
Martingale
Not allowed
Martingale
Increasing position size or total risk after a loss on the same asset, within the same or the next trading day, is prohibited even when the sequence ends in profit.
The review looks at changes in size, timing, recovery intent and the full sequence. Renaming the approach does not change the pattern.
On funded accounts, this prohibited practice can cause an automatic account breach. The underlying prohibition also applies during evaluation, and trading is checked again at payout review.
What happens if this is not met?
Profit adjustment, payout rejection or account breach can follow.
Full explanation: What counts as martingale?
Grid trading
Not allowed
Grid trading
Layers of orders at fixed price intervals without a directional view are prohibited.
Multiple entries are not automatically a grid. Spacing, purpose, direction, timing and total risk determine the review.
A simple example
Four buy stops above price and four sell stops below it, all spaced at 20-pip intervals and with no directional view, are an example of a prohibited grid.
What happens if this is not met?
Profit adjustment, payout rejection or account breach can follow.
Full explanation: Grid trading
Hedging across positions or accounts
Not allowed
Hedging across positions or accounts
The prohibition covers opposing positions inside one account and across separate Traderscale accounts where the effect is to cancel exposure or exploit pricing.
Positions need not open in the same second. Overlap, purpose, timing, instrument and activity across your accounts are reviewed.
On funded accounts, this prohibited practice can cause an automatic account breach. The underlying prohibition also applies during evaluation, and trading is checked again at payout review.
A simple example
Buying 2 lots of XAUUSD on Account A, then selling 2 lots on Account B while the first trade remains open, does not avoid the hedging rule.
What happens if this is not met?
Profit adjustment, payout rejection or account breach can follow.
Full explanation: Hedge trading
High-frequency trading
Not allowed
High-frequency trading
Execution speed, trade count, duration, purpose and the overall pattern are considered together. No single factor decides the finding.
The two-minute minimum-duration rule is separate. A wider high-frequency pattern can still be reviewed even when individual trades last longer.
What happens if this is not met?
Profit adjustment, payout rejection or account breach can follow.
Full explanation: High-frequency trading
Arbitrage & execution-delay exploitation
Not allowed
Arbitrage & execution-delay exploitation
Latency arbitrage, triangular arbitrage, cross-platform price exploitation and execution-delay tricks are prohibited.
Watching another platform is not itself prohibited. Deliberately profiting from a known mismatch, delay or infrastructure limitation is.
A simple example
Watching a faster gold feed and repeatedly entering on a delayed quote to profit when it catches up is an example of this pattern.
What happens if this is not met?
Profit adjustment, payout rejection or account breach can follow.
Full explanation: Arbitrage trading
Exploiting system errors
Stop & report
Exploiting system errors
Stop trading the affected instrument and contact support with the symbol, time, screenshot and account number.
The review includes execution records, feed data and what you did after the fault became apparent.
What happens if this is not met?
Affected profits are removed. Further account action is possible.
Full explanation: Exploiting system errors
Negative risk-to-reward
60% or more
Negative risk-to-reward
Risk uses the furthest stop-loss distance while the position was open. Tightening the stop later does not erase that earlier risk. The Dealing Team classifies the positions for review.
When 60% or more of the reviewed positions are classified as negative risk-to-reward, the payout is rejected and the account is breached, regardless of the combined P&L of that group.
Below 60%, positive net P&L from the classified group is deducted after the split, from the trader share. Other trading rules and payout checks still apply.
Partial closes, winners and losers contribute to the combined P&L. Partial closes are allowed unless used to manipulate the rule. Trades with no stop loss are excluded from this calculation and are assessed under the separate stop-loss rule.
A simple example
12 of 20 reviewed positions is exactly 60%: the payout is rejected and the account is breached even if that group lost money. A later tighter stop does not change the furthest-stop reference.
See the worked example
What happens if this is not met?
The result can be a profit deduction, payout rejection or account breach under the applicable conditions.
Full explanation: How does the risk-to-reward policy work?
Full explanation: Toxic trading (risk-to-reward)
Reckless one-sided exposure
Not allowed
Reckless one-sided exposure
Traderscale does not require a particular strategy. Trading does need to show controlled risk rather than reckless or purely chance-based exposure.
The review considers risk consistency, repeated directional bets, visible rationale and overall behaviour, even if those trades won.
What happens if this is not met?
The account or payout may be affected when the behaviour is structurally unsound.
Full explanation: One-sided speculative exposure
Account sharing & reselling
Only you may trade
Account sharing & reselling
Only the registered trader may access and trade the account. This includes decisions and execution.
Permission from you does not allow a spouse, friend, mentor or account manager to trade it. Login records, device information and activity may be reviewed.
What happens if this is not met?
Account suspension, breach or removal from the programme is possible.
Full explanation: Account sharing and reselling
Capital allocation limit
$600,000 funded
Capital allocation limit
The $600,000 total capital cap counts funded accounts only, per trader, not per login. Evaluation accounts do not count towards this cap.
Checkout does not block purchases above the cap. At payout review, profit on the account that took you over the funded cap is voided, its fee is refunded and it loses payout eligibility.
Accounts cannot be merged. Balances and profit cannot be moved between them; each account keeps its own drawdown limits and objectives.
A separate maximum of two 1-Step Flex accounts per size applies. There is no general limit on evaluation accounts; evaluations do not count towards the $600,000 funded capital cap.
A simple example
Three funded accounts of $200,000 total $600,000. Four total $800,000, which exceeds the funded capital cap.
What happens if this is not met?
For the account that took you over: profits voided, its fee refunded in full, and no payout eligibility.
Full explanation: The $600,000 capital limit
Moving risk between accounts
Not allowed
Moving risk between accounts
Do not spread, transfer or offset risk across accounts to bypass a single-account restriction.
This includes continuing same or correlated exposure on another account to recover a loss, or positioning one account to gain while another absorbs the loss.
A simple example
A second account is not extra room for the first account when its exposure is already close to a limit.
What happens if this is not met?
Profit adjustment, payout rejection or account breach can follow.
Full explanation: Capital allocation manipulation
Account churning
Not allowed
Account churning
The rule concerns a pattern across attempts and accounts, not a single ordinary loss.
Account history, maximum-size bets, risk control and the presence of a consistent method are reviewed.
A simple example
Buying six accounts over eight weeks and using each for a handful of maximum-size bets until it passes or breaches is an example of this pattern.
What happens if this is not met?
Payout rejection, forfeiture, suspension, breach or removal can follow.
Full explanation: Account churning
Inactivity
10 calendar days
Inactivity
The inactivity clock starts when the account is created. Open a new trade within each ten-calendar-day period. Existing open positions do not replace a new entry.
The clock continues during KYC, setup and payout read-only periods. It also continues over weekends and market holidays.
If inactivity occurs during KYC, setup or payout read-only, contact support for reactivation. A pending payout remains eligible for compliance review; reactivation does not itself approve it or reverse a separate trading-rule breach.
What happens if this is not met?
Ten days without a new trade makes the account inactive. Separate trading breaches are assessed under their own rules.
Full explanation: Why is my account inactive?
Full explanation: Speedy: profit target and trading days
Profit target
10%
Profit target
The evaluation requires 10% of the starting balance in closed profit.
Open profit does not count. Every position must be closed when the evaluation target is assessed, and the trading-day requirement must also be met.
There is no evaluation deadline, but the ten-day inactivity rule still applies. Drawdown and all conduct rules apply throughout.
A simple example
On a $100,000 account, 10% is $10,000 closed profit. Reaching it with positions still open does not finish the evaluation.
What happens if this is not met?
Missing the target alone does not breach the account. It means the evaluation is not complete.
Full explanation: Speedy: profit target and trading days
Full explanation: Speedy rules at a glance
Trading days
1 eval / 10 funded
Trading days
A trading day is a date on which you open at least one new trade. Several trades on the same date still count as one day.
Speedy needs at least one evaluation trading day and ten trading days before each funded payout.
Trying to manipulate the day count can lead to payout rejection or a breach. Waiting periods and other passing or payout requirements remain separate.
A simple example
Four trades opened on Tuesday still count as one trading day.
What happens if this is not met?
Missing the day requirement delays passing or payout eligibility. Deliberately manipulating the count can lead to enforcement.
Full explanation: Speedy: profit target and trading days
Full explanation: Speedy payout requirements
These apply to funded payouts. Request eligibility is not payout approval.
Profit consistency
Below 40%
Profit consistency
Your highest profit day must be strictly below 40% of the total realised profit for the same funded payout period. Exactly 40% does not meet the rule.
Losing days can raise the percentage by reducing the total. A new highest day changes the numerator. More trading does not guarantee a lower result.
After an approved payout, use the Balance After Payout figure and the new period. Pending or rejected requests do not reset the period. Posted adjustments, commissions and swaps affect the profit used in the calculation. Use the UTC date on which the adjustment is posted, and exclude payout debits from trading results. The highest UTC profit day is separate from the drawdown reset.
A simple example
A $1,500 highest day and $3,750 total is exactly 40%, so not met. At $3,900 total, the ratio is 38.46%.
CONSISTENCY CALCULATOR
Check the 40% condition.
With a fixed $1,500.00 highest day, the first qualifying total to the cent is $3,750.01.
This meets the consistency condition only. Every other payout condition still applies. Use the same payout period and highest UTC day. Include posted adjustments, commissions and swaps; exclude open P&L and payout debits. Adjustments use the UTC date when posted.
What happens if this is not met?
Not meeting consistency delays your payout. It does not, by itself, breach the account.
Full explanation: Speedy consistency rule
Full explanation: Speedy payout requirements
First & later payouts
30 days / 14 days
First & later payouts
The first payout waiting period is 30 days from receipt of the funded account, or 14 with the 14 Day Payout Eligibility add-on on that account.
Later payouts are every 14 days from approval of the previous payout, not its submission or payment arrival. Required trading days must also be completed before each payout.
Eligibility to request is not approval or a guaranteed payment time. Compliance review and payment processing happen after the request.
What happens if this is not met?
Until the waiting period and all other requirements are met, you cannot request the payout.
Full explanation: Speedy payout requirements
Full explanation: How long does a payout take?
Full explanation: How do I request a payout?
Other payout requirements
All checks required
Other payout requirements
Complete the trading days, waiting period, account-profit minimum and consistency requirement where it applies. Request from the funded account, with every position closed.
Identity verification must be approved and the Funded Trader Agreement signed before the first payout. Activation requirements are separate from passing an evaluation.
There must be no confirmed breach or unresolved compliance restriction. Every request is reviewed. Trading profit alone is not payout approval.
What happens if this is not met?
An incomplete condition can prevent a request or payment. A confirmed trading breach can separately forfeit profit and end payout eligibility.

Non-refundable after login
Challenge fee & refunds
Speedy, Flex and Instant Funding fees are non-refundable once login details have been issued.
For cancellation questions before credentials, unexpected charges or account-specific terms, read the full refund policy and contact support.
What happens if this is not met?
Purchasing this programme does not include the Pro challenge-fee refund.
