These Trading Rules define the operational, execution, risk management, and behavioural requirements applicable to all Clients participating in QuickFunded evaluation programs and simulated funded accounts.
These Rules form an integral part of the QuickFunded Terms & Conditions. By using the Services, the Client agrees to comply with these Rules at all times.
The Challenge Phase is designed to assess whether the Client can reach a defined performance target while respecting strict risk controls.
Profit Target
5% of the initial account balance.
Daily Trailing Drawdown
4%, trailing from the highest equity reached during the trading day, open positions included. The trading day runs from 00:00 to 24:00 UTC and the daily limit resets at 00:00 UTC.
Overall Trailing Drawdown
8%, calculated at the 00:00 UTC rollover using the higher of balance or equity.
Minimum Trading Days
3. working days. Maximum Duration
Unlimited.
The Challenge is passed only if all objectives are achieved without breaching any risk, execution, or behavioural rule.
After successfully completing the Challenge Phase, the Client may be granted access to a simulated funded account, subject to internal review and approval.
Daily Trailing Drawdown
4%, trailing from the highest equity reached during the trading day, open positions included. The trading day runs from 00:00 to 24:00 UTC and the daily limit resets at 00:00 UTC.
Overall Trailing Drawdown
8%, calculated at the 00:00 UTC rollover using the higher of balance or equity.
Inactivity
A funded account that is flat (no open positions) and has had no trading activity for 45 consecutive days is considered inactive and is closed automatically. An account with open positions is active, regardless of how long the positions have been open. We notify you by email 48 hours before the date and time of closure. A closed account cannot be reopened: to trade again, a new challenge must be passed, and access to the funded lounge on Discord is removed.
The funded account remains simulated and is subject to continuous monitoring by the Company.
Where the Client is eligible for payout, the standard profit split is: 80% to the trader. 20% to QuickFunded.
Payout eligibility remains subject to compliance with all Trading Rules, risk review, and internal verification.
QuickFunded applies a consistency rule to ensure that performance is not dependent on one isolated trading day or excessive risk event.
The consistency rule is calculated as follows:
Best Trading Day Profit divided by Total Net Profit must not exceed 25%.
If the consistency threshold is exceeded, the Company may delay payout approval, require additional trading activity, or apply further review.
Profit concentration is calculated as the percentage of total net profit generated by a single instrument.
Highly correlated instruments count as one instrument when concentration is calculated: gold and silver in any currency (XAUUSD, XAGUSD, XAUEUR, XAGEUR); US indices (US30, US500, US100 / NAS100); European indices (GER40, FRA40, EU50, UK100); oil (USOIL, UKOIL); crypto (BTC, ETH); EURUSD and GBPUSD; AUDUSD and NZDUSD; JPY crosses (EURJPY, GBPJPY, AUDJPY, NZDJPY, CADJPY, CHFJPY). This applies from your next payout cycle.
A qualified trading day is a trading day (00:00 to 24:00 UTC) in which the trades closed during that day produce a net profit of at least 0.5% of the initial account balance. Floating profit or loss on open positions is not counted, and a day is counted only once it has ended. Days below this threshold are not counted.
Qualified trading days are counted from the start of the funded account or from the last approved payout.
If profit concentration is less than 70%, the minimum required is four (4) qualified trading days.
If profit concentration is greater than or equal to 70%, the minimum required increases to eight (8) qualified trading days.
This rule is designed to reduce excessive dependency on one instrument and to encourage sustainable trading behaviour.
The Client must trade in a manner consistent with reasonable market behaviour and must avoid execution patterns designed to exploit the simulated environment.
Minimum holding time per position: 5 minutes. On funded accounts a position may be closed earlier (for example if opened by mistake): if it is in profit the profit is not credited to the balance, if it is in loss the loss counts normally.
Maximum 2 open positions per instrument per hour.
Maximum 2 open positions total at any time.
A 5-minute waiting period is required between closing and opening trades.
Violation of execution rules may result in account failure, payout rejection, or account termination.
Trading is prohibited within 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after red-folder Forex Factory events.
The Client is responsible for monitoring the economic calendar and ensuring compliance with this rule.
Trades opened or closed during restricted windows may be considered a rule violation.
During the restricted window every operation is paused on funded accounts, including the execution of Stop Loss and Take Profit and any change to SL/TP levels. When the window closes, pending levels reached during the window are handled as follows:
Take Profit: executed at your Take Profit level.
Stop Loss: executed at the first available market price after the window closes, not at the Stop Loss level. Guaranteeing stop levels through high-impact releases would allow unlimited upside with capped downside, so slippage on stops during news remains with the position.
Example. US CPI is released at 12:30 UTC, so the window runs from 12:25 to 12:35 UTC. You hold a EURUSD buy opened at 1.0850 with Stop Loss 1.0820 and Take Profit 1.0900.
Case 1: at 12:31 the price jumps to 1.0915. Your Take Profit is reached during the window, so nothing is executed until 12:35. At 12:35 the position is closed at your Take Profit, 1.0900.
Case 2: at 12:31 the price drops to 1.0790. Your Stop Loss is reached during the window, so nothing is executed until 12:35. At 12:35 the first available price is 1.0805: the position is closed at 1.0805, not at 1.0820.
Case 3: the price touches 1.0815 at 12:32 and is back at 1.0840 at 12:35. When the window closes the price is above your Stop Loss, so the position stays open.
The Company applies weekend exposure restrictions to prevent exploitation of low-liquidity and gap-risk conditions.
Positions may be opened and held over the weekend, subject to reduced weekend leverage.
Standard leverage: Forex 1:30, Metals (gold and silver) 1:10, Indices 1:10, Energies 1:10, Crypto 1:2.
Weekend leverage limits
Commodities 1:1, Forex 3:1, Indices 3:1.
Normal leverage resumes Monday 05:00 GMT.
Weekend gap exploitation strategies are strictly prohibited.
The trailing stop-out recalculates daily. If the Client withdraws all eligible profit, the remaining buffer is removed and the stop-out is placed at balance level.
Clients are responsible for understanding how withdrawals may affect available buffer and account risk.
At the 00:00 UTC rollover, open trades are virtually closed and reopened for consistency and risk calculation purposes.
This mechanism allows the Company to calculate daily performance and risk exposure fairly, including for trades held across multiple days.
QuickFunded reserves the right to terminate accounts engaging in toxic, manipulative, exploitative, abusive, or non-replicable trading behaviour.
This includes behaviour designed to exploit pricing inefficiencies, platform limitations, account rules, news volatility, weekend gaps, or concentration loopholes.
The Company reserves the right to review all trading activity at any time, including before payout approval.
Where the Company identifies suspicious, abusive, or non-compliant behaviour, it may:
Reject payout requests.
Adjust eligible profits.
Require additional explanation or strategy review.
Suspend or terminate the account.
Restrict future access to the Services.
Review timeframe: payout reviews are completed within 5 working days of the request.
What the review checks: whether the trading strategy breaches any rule in this document, whether it relies on prohibited automation, and whether it shows correlation with other accounts.
What you receive: a written outcome naming the specific rule concerned and the account data it refers to.
These Trading Rules may be updated from time to time. Continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of the latest version.
The Client is responsible for reading, understanding, and following the Trading Rules at all times.
Instant Funded accounts are simulated funded accounts activated directly after payment of a one-time fee, without a Challenge Phase. All rules in sections 1 to 14 apply to Instant Funded accounts, except where this section sets a different rule.
Daily Trailing Drawdown
4%, trailing from the highest equity reached during the trading day, open positions included. The trading day runs from 00:00 to 24:00 UTC and the daily limit resets at 00:00 UTC.
Overall Trailing Drawdown
6%, trailing from the highest equity reached on the account. After the first payout request the trailing stop-out follows section 10.
High-Impact News Restriction
Trading is prohibited within 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after red-folder Forex Factory events, instead of the 5 minutes set in section 8. The handling of Stop Loss and Take Profit during the window described in section 8 applies to the full 10-minute window.
First Payout
The first payout may be requested no earlier than 14 calendar days after account activation, and only once the minimum number of qualified trading days has been reached.
Qualified Trading Days
A qualified trading day is a trading day (00:00 to 24:00 UTC) in which the trades closed during that day produce a net profit of at least 0.75% of the initial account balance and the account equity at the end of the day, open positions included, is at least 0.75% of the initial account balance higher than at the end of the previous trading day (or than the initial balance on the first day). Closing winning trades while keeping losing positions open does not create a qualified trading day. Every payout, including the first, requires at least five (5) qualified trading days counted from account activation or from the last approved payout. If profit concentration as defined in section 6 is greater than or equal to 70%, the minimum increases to ten (10) qualified trading days.
Subsequent Payouts
After the first approved payout there is no waiting period: the next payout may be requested as soon as five (5) new qualified trading days have been completed since the last approved payout.
Payout Amount
The profit split set in section 4 applies. A payout may be requested only when the net profit of the account is at least 2% of the initial account balance. Once this threshold is reached, the Client may withdraw up to 100% of the eligible profit. There is no payout cap and no minimum payout amount. The consistency rule in section 5 applies to every payout. Under section 10, withdrawing all eligible profit removes the remaining buffer above the initial balance.
No Reset
Instant Funded accounts cannot be reset. An account that breaches the daily or overall drawdown is closed. The Client may purchase a new account at any time.
Account Limits
The 1K Instant Funded account is limited to one per person. Other sizes may be held in more than one account, subject to section 12.
