First archived version.
Here you will find all the rules for PRO accounts. This will all be in the PRO contract we send you as well.
1. No Trading bots/Algos
- We do not allow any automated or bot trading of any kind.
- All trades must be manually executed by the trader.
2. Avoid the Limit Up/Down
-
Understanding Market Price Limits
- Futures and related markets can reach limit up or limit down levels, triggering circuit breakers.
- This limits how far the market can go in a single day.
- Current daily price limits can be found on the CME website: CME PRICE LIMITS
-
Trader Responsibilities
- You must exit all open positions before a price limit is reached.
- If the market approaches a limit, our company must "hedge" against traders holding positions near those levels.
-
Account Liquidation- If a price limit is hit, and you have not exited your position, you will lose your PRO Account.
3. Trade your Account
-
Weekly Trading Requirement
- To keep your PRO Account active, you must trade at least one day per calendar week (Sunday–Friday).
- A “traded day” is defined as a day where at least one round-trip has been executed on any permitted instrument.
-
Purpose of This Rule- Ensures traders remain active and do not keep capital idle or “squat” on a PRO Account.
-
Exceptions
- Life circumstances may prevent trading.
- Contact support if you need a temporary exception.
4. No Counter Positions
- You cannot hold open positions in opposite directions within the same product or closely related products.
- This applies across all account types: Test, PRO, and PRO+.
5. Intraday Trailing Drawdown
-
How the Drawdown Works
- The Trailing Drawdown is calculated intraday using your peak balance, which includes realized gains and unrealized gains.
- The drawdown trails intraday as your unrealized profits rise.
- The drawdown will never exceed your starting account balance.
- Maximum drawdown in PRO = maximum drawdown from your passed test.
-
Example
- For a $25,000 PRO Account:
- Drawdown = $1,500
- If unrealized profit reaches $1,000, your minimum account balance rises to $24,500 in real time.
- If you close the trade with a $500 realized gain, your balance becomes $25,500, but your minimum remains $24,500.
- You are now $1,000 away from hitting the drawdown limit.
- The drawdown continues to trail profits until it reaches your starting balance; once it reaches that level, it no longer moves.
-
Account Liquidation- If your account balance drops to the Minimum Account Balance at any time — through realized or unrealized losses — the account is immediately liquidated.
6. No Open Positions During Prohibited News
