What is an Instant Standard Account?
The Instant Standard Account provides traders with immediate access to a funded account without completing an evaluation phase.
There is:
✅ No evaluation phase
✅ No activation fee
✅ Weekly rewards
✅ 100% reward split
✅ End-of-Day drawdown protection
Traders can begin earning rewards immediately while following the account’s risk management requirements.
Is There a Profit Target?
No.
The Instant Standard Account does not require traders to achieve a profit target before becoming eligible for rewards.
Instead, traders must meet the required buffer balance before requesting payouts.
What is the Daily Loss Limit?
The Instant Standard Account includes a Daily Loss Limit.
This is a hard breach rule, meaning if the limit is exceeded, the account will be breached immediately.
Account Size | Daily Loss Limit
$50,000 | $1,250
$100,000 | $2,500
Example
A trader with a $50,000 account starts the day with an account balance of $50,000.
If account equity falls below:
$48,750
during that trading day, the account will be breached.
What is the Maximum Drawdown?
The Maximum Drawdown is the total amount your account can lose before being breached.
Example
For a $100,000 Instant Standard Account:
- Starting Balance: $100,000
- Maximum Drawdown: $3,500
The account may not fall below:
$96,500
If account equity falls below this level, the account will be breached.
What Does End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown Mean?
The Instant Standard Account uses an End-of-Day Drawdown model.
This means the drawdown threshold is calculated based on your account balance at the close of each trading day.
Unlike Intraday Drawdown, temporary gains during the trading day do not immediately affect the drawdown calculation.
Many traders prefer EOD drawdown because it offers greater flexibility while managing open positions.
What is the Maximum Position Size?
Each account has a maximum contract limit.
Account Size | Maximum Contracts
$50,000 | 3
$100,000 | 6
Opening positions above the allowed limit may result in a rule violation.
Are Micro Contracts Allowed?
Yes.
Micro contracts are fully supported on all Instant Standard Accounts.
Many traders use micro contracts to:
- Scale into positions gradually
- Reduce risk exposure
- Improve consistency
- Maintain better drawdown management
What is the Consistency Rule?
The Instant Standard Account uses a 20% consistency rule.
Your largest profitable trading day cannot exceed 20% of your total profits.
Example
If your total profit equals:
$10,000
Your largest profitable trading day cannot exceed:
$2,000
This rule promotes consistent trading performance and proper risk management.
How Do Weekly Rewards Work?
Reward requests are available on a weekly basis.
Benefits include:
- Weekly reward eligibility
- Consistent payout schedule
- Fast processing
- 100% reward split
What is the Reward Split?
Instant Standard traders receive:
100% Reward Split
All eligible profits belong to the trader, subject to payout requirements and account rules.
Required Balance Requirements
Before requesting rewards, traders must first build the required profit buffer.
The required balance decreases after each successful payout.
$50,000 Account
Reward Request | Required Balance
First Reward | 6% ($3,000)
Second Reward | 5% ($2,500)
Third Reward and Beyond | 4% ($2,000)
Example
For the first reward request:
- Starting Balance: $50,000
- Required Buffer: 6%
The account must reach:
$53,000
before becoming eligible for the first reward request.
$100,000 Account
Reward Request | Required Balance
First Reward | 6% ($6,000)
Second Reward | 5% ($5,000)
Third Reward and Beyond | 4% ($4,000)
Example
For the first reward request:
The account must reach:
$106,000
before becoming eligible for the first reward request.
What is the Reward Cap?
Each payout request is subject to a reward cap.
Account Size | Reward Cap
$50,000 | $1,500
$100,000 | $3,000
Example
If a trader on a $100,000 account generates $4,000 in eligible profits:
- Maximum reward request: $3,000
- Remaining profits stay in the account and may be withdrawn in future payout cycles.
What is the Minimum Reward Request?
The minimum reward request amount is:
Account Size | Minimum Reward
$50,000 | $250
$100,000 | $250
Traders must meet the minimum threshold before submitting a reward request.
What is the Minimum Daily Profit Requirement?
To qualify profits for rewards, traders must meet the minimum daily profit requirement.
Account Size | Minimum Daily Profit
