IQ Capital Rule Changes

 Account: $50,000 → 0.5% risk = $250
 What happens in case of a rule violation?
 A violation results in a soft breach:
 - The position is automatically closed
 - The account remains active
 - Trading can continue immediately
 After the 3rd violation, a hard breach occurs and the account is closed.
 Purpose of this rule
 - Prevents excessive concentration in a single asset
· · ·
 - Encourages clean and professional risk management
 - Reflects realistic trading conditions in live markets
 Important! Trades in the individual markets are counted together as one position. Therefore, it is entirely possible that the maximum SL (Stop Loss) for a single trade has not yet been reached because another trade was still open in that market. A position can consist of multiple trades, and multiple trades always remain a single position.

 Account: $50,000 → 0.5% risk = $250
 What happens in case of a rule violation?
 A violation results in a soft breach: Even merely approaching or exceeding the limit on an open position can be considered a violation.
 - The position is automatically closed
 - The account remains active
 - Trading can continue immediately
 After the 3rd violation, a hard breach occurs and the account is closed. The maximum position loss is not reset. Fees and slippage may affect the limit.

 Important! Trades in the individual markets are counted together as one position. Therefore, it is entirely possible that the maximum SL (Stop Loss) for a single trade has not yet been reached because another trade was still open in that market. A position can consist of multiple trades, and multiple trades always remain a single position. Allow for a safety margin below the 0.5% limit (e.g., 0.25%–0.4%) to account for slippage and widening spreads. In volatile markets such as the Nasdaq (NQ), it is recommended to trade smaller positions such as the Micro Nasdaq (MNQ). Two simultaneous trades share the $250 limit, so each trade may risk a maximum of $125.

 Why does this rule exist?
 The Max Position Loss rule ensures that your risk per market is strictly limited.
 Your maximum risk per market:
 - Challenge: 1% of account balance

 Example (Evaluation)
 Account: $50,000 → 1% risk = $500

 Why does this rule exist?
 The Max Position Loss rule ensures that your risk per market is strictly limited.
 The Maximum Position Loss rule applies to each position and includes all costs, such as slippage, spread, and fees. Multiple positions in the same market are considered together.
 Your maximum risk per market:
 - Challenge: 1% of account balance
· · ·
 Example (Evaluation)
 Account: $50,000 → 1% risk = $500
 It is recommended to build in a safety margin below the 1% limit to account for normal market fluctuations and trading costs.
 Example (Funding)
 Account: $50,000 → 0.5% risk = $250
 It is recommended to set the risk well below the 0.5% threshold to account for slippage and fees.
 What happens in case of a rule violation?
 A violation results in a soft breach:
· · ·
 - The account remains active
 - Trading can continue immediately
 A stop-loss does not guarantee a fixed execution price. Slippage and fees may cause the actual loss to exceed the limit.
 After the 3rd violation, a hard breach occurs and the account is closed.
 Market conditions such as high volatility or wide spreads increase the risk of triggering a rule violation.
 Purpose of this rule
 - Prevents excessive concentration in a single asset
· · ·
 - Encourages clean and professional risk management
 - Reflects realistic trading conditions in live markets
 Best Practices for Avoiding Rule Violations
 - Allow for a safety margin: Set your risk below the specified limit to account for slippage and fees.
 - Be mindful of market conditions: Avoid trading in volatile markets or during periods of wide spreads.
 - Regular Review: Monitor your positions and factor all costs into your risk management plan.
 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
 - Why doesn’t a stop-loss protect against a breach? A stop-loss does not guarantee a fixed execution price. Slippage and fees can increase the actual loss.
 - Are fees included in the calculation? Yes, all trading costs, such as fees and spreads, are included in the loss calculation.
 - Does the limit apply per account or per position? The limit is calculated per position, but multiple positions in the same market are aggregated.

 Consistency & Profit Target
 In the Rapid Futures Funded Account, the profit target is determined by the 40% consistency rule.
 Your best trading day may not exceed 40% of your total profits.
 The consistency resets after each performance reward payout and is recalculated based on your next highest profit day.
 Example
 You start with a fresh account and make:
 - Day 1: $300 profit
 - Day 2: $270 profit
 Your highest profit day determines the required profit target.
 → Best Day: $300
 Since this may only represent 40% of the total profit:
 300 ÷ 0.40 = 750
 This means you must reach a total profit of $750 for your $300 best day to represent only 40% of total profits and satisfy the consistency rule.
 As long as you do not exceed $300 profit in a single day, the target remains unchanged.
 Drawdown Adjustment After First Payout
 Once you receive your first performance reward payout, the Max Drawdown is adjusted to the account's original starting balance of $50,000 or $100,000. From this point on, the drawdown level is fixed.
 What happens if I violate a rule?

 Consistency Rule (Funding only)
 Your best trading day may not exceed 30% of your total profit.
 Example:
 $258 best trading day → new minimum target = $860
 (258 ÷ 0.30)
 If your best winning day exceeds this limit, the profit target is automatically adjusted to ensure compliance with the rule.
 Consistency is reset after each Performance Reward payout and is then recalculated based on the next best trading day in the current cycle.

 The consistency rule ensures that your profit comes from steady, sustainable trading rather than a single big day. It prevents results from relying on one outsized win and encourages a balanced, repeatable trading approach.
 Challenge
 Whether a consistency requirement already applies during the Challenge depends on the plan you choose.
 Funding
 In Funding, a consistency rule always applies.
 You can find the exact consistency requirement for your account in the corresponding article or on our website.

 In Crypto and CFD Challenges, the profit target is 8% and in Futures Challenges the profit target is 6%.
 In Funding, the profit target is dynamically calculated based on the 30% consistency rule.

 The profit target is the goal you need to reach to successfully complete your account. How it works depends on the stage you're in.
 Challenge
 In the Challenge phase, your profit target is a fixed percentage of your starting
 balance. Once you reach this target (while staying within all other rules), you pass and move on to Funding.
 Funding
 In the Funding phase, there is no fixed profit target. Instead, your payouts are based on the consistency rule, so your results reflect steady trading rather than one big day.
 You can find the exact targets for each account in the corresponding article or on our website.

 Challenges
 Challenges can be completed within a single trading day.
 Funding
 Performance Rewards can be requested after 10 active trading days in Funding.

 Challenges
 The minimum trading days depend on the plan you choose:
 - Classic / Classic-DLL: no minimum trading days — the challenge can be completed within a single trading day.
 - Rapid: 3 minimum trading days.
 Funding
 The requirement for Performance Rewards also depends on your plan:
 - Classic / Classic-DLL: Performance Rewards can be requested after 10 active trading days.
 - Rapid: after 3 active trading days.
