Execution Rules
Can I use an EA (Expert Advisor)?
No. The use of automated Expert Advisors (EAs) or any tool that automatically executes or copies orders is strictly prohibited. All orders must be placed manually by the user.
Only non-Execution tools—such as risk calculators that do not place, modify, or close orders automatically—are allowed.
All orders must be placed and managed manually by the user.
Any attempt to bypass this rule will result in immediate disqualification from the program.
Which Simulation Platforms are Available?
Do you allow VPNs or VPS services?
Can I use External Signals?
Can I use Myfxbook or Others External Analytics?
Can I use multiple IP addresses for one account?
Yes, as long as the logins come from the same location or personal devices. However, executing orders from multiple IPs simultaneously is not allowed.
Additionally, sharing your IP address or device with another client is strictly prohibited and may result in account cancellation.
What is the maximum allocation per user?
users are allowed to hold one active account of each program type simultaneously. For example, you may have:
One $100,000 account in the 1-Step Challenge
One $100,000 account in the 2-Step Challenge
One $100,000 account in the 1-Step Advanced Challenge
While these accounts may run concurrently, you cannot hold multiple accounts of the same type at the same time.
Please also note:
Progression and access to higher capital are managed through The Ascension Protocol, our internal framework for scaling and user development. Be sure to review that section to understand how your long-term growth is evaluated.
Can I merge two accounts?
No. We do not offer account merging under any circumstances.
How long can an account remain inactive?
Can I hold orders overnight?
Can I hold orders over the weekend?
Can I trade during high-impact news events?
Yes. You may hold orders over the weekend, but consider the risks of price gaps and market volatility during closures, as well as any applicable swap charges.No. Execution is strictly prohibited across all challenge types within the 5-minute window before and after any scheduled high-impact news event.
For example, if NFP is scheduled at 14:30 GMT+2, you may not place, modify, or activate new market or pending orders between 14:25 and 14:35.
However, if you have an open position placed before the restricted window, and it is closed by Take Profit (TP) or Stop Loss (SL) during the news event, it will be considered valid.
What is prohibited:
Opening new market orders
Placing or activating pending orders (Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Stop)
Modifying existing orders during the restricted window
Profits generated from new entries during the restricted time will be removed, and repeated violations may result in account suspension or termination.
This rule exists to reflect realistic market conditions and prevent users from exploiting artificial volatility around news releases.
What is drawdown and how is it calculated?
Drawdown refers to the maximum allowed loss on your account.
For example, with an initial balance of $5,000 and an 8% max drawdown ($400), if your equity drops below $4,600, the account will be closed.
Profits retained in the account can increase the drawdown buffer. Withdrawals reduce it.
Why can’t I close a trade within 5 seconds?
Closing orders in less than 5 seconds is prohibited to prevent latency arbitrage. Trades must be based on market conditions, not Execution delays.
What happens if I fail multiple challenges?
What are the minimum profitable days required?
The minimum profitable days requirement applies to all challenge types, including the 1-Step, 2-Step, and 1-Step Advanced programs.
To successfully complete the evaluation phase, you must achieve at least 3 profitable Execution days.
A profitable day is defined as any calendar day in which you generate a net gain of at least 0.5% of your initial account balance.
This rule is designed to assess your consistency and discipline, rather than allowing success through a single high-risk trade.
Examples:
On a $100,000 account, a profitable day requires a minimum net gain of $500 in one Execution day.
If you earn $200 on Monday, $600 on Tuesday, and $700 on Thursday, only Tuesday and Thursday will be counted as profitable days.
If you reach the overall profit target in just one or two Execution days, you will still be required to continue Execution until three separate profitable days are achieved.
This requirement encourages a sustainable and professional Execution approach, ensuring that your success is based on consistent performance over time, not short-term luck or aggressive risk.
What is the minimum average trade duration?
The average holding time of all orders must be at least two (2) minutes.
This does not mean that every single trade must exceed two minutes—occasional orders under two minutes are normal and expected in certain market conditions.
However, if most orders are consistently closed in under two minutes, it may indicate the use of abusive strategies such as tick scalping or latency arbitrage, which are not aligned with real-world Execution behavior.
For this reason, we evaluate the average holding time across your entire Execution history, rather than judging individual orders.
Failure to meet this average requirement may result in:
Profit removal, or disqualification from the program, depending on severity and repetition.
This rule promotes sustainable and professional Execution, ensuring fair evaluation for all participants.
Can I use delayed trade copiers or manual-mimicking tools?
No. The use of any tool designed to replicate orders from another account—whether through Mirror Execution, Social user Tools, Anton (Mirror), or similar systems—is strictly prohibited. This includes tools that introduce artificial delays to mimic manual Execution and avoid detection.
All orders must be based on the user’s own analysis and manually executed. Any attempt to bypass this policy will result in immediate disqualification from the program.
What are the rules regarding stop-losses?
All positions must be closed with a valid stop-loss order in place. Trades that are opened and later closed without ever having an active stop-loss will be considered a violation of our risk management rules.
While users are strongly encouraged to place the stop-loss at the same time as trade Execution, we understand that minor delays of a few minutes may occur in certain scenarios. These brief delays are acceptable only if they are not part of a repeated pattern intended to bypass the rule.
The Risk Department actively monitors Execution behavior and will investigate any signs of manipulation—such as consistently placing stop-losses several minutes after Execution or removing them prior to closing.
Violations and Consequences:
A maximum of three (3) violations is allowed.
If a trade is closed without a stop-loss and ends in profit, the profit may be removed from the account.
If the trade ends in a loss, a formal warning will still be issued.
Upon a third violation, the account may be suspended or disqualified.
This rule is essential to encourage proper risk management and protect both users and the firm.
Can I use multiple IP addresses or share devices?
No. Each account must be accessed from a consistent geographic location, and only one account may operate from a single IP address.
The use of multiple IP addresses from unrelated regions is strictly prohibited.
Sharing an IP address or device with another user—whether a friend, colleague, or family member—is not allowed.
This includes coworking spaces, shared offices, and Execution rooms.
Our system monitors for coordinated activity and shared access.
If two accounts are found using the same IP or device, both may be permanently terminated.
This policy is in place to ensure fairness, transparency, and to prevent collusion or copy Execution within the evaluation environment.
Can I hold more than one account per challenge type?
No. users may only hold one active account per challenge type at a time. For example:
One active account in the 1-Step Challenge
One active account in the 2-Step Challenge
One active account in the 1-Step Advanced Challenge
Holding multiple accounts of the same type simultaneously is not allowed, regardless of account size.
