Placing a Stop Loss (SL) is mandatory at the exact moment a trade is executed on all funded accounts.
A trade must enter the market with a Stop Loss already in place. Adding a Stop Loss after the trade has been opened—even just a few seconds later—does not meet our trading requirements and will be treated as a violation of our rules.
Failure to place a Stop Loss at the time of execution will not result in immediate termination. Instead, the account will be fully reviewed only after a withdrawal request is submitted.
For a violation to be considered a Soft Breach, it must be clearly identifiable as an honest, isolated mistake, and must not reflect a pattern of behavior in the trader’s history. It is entirely at the discretion of the reviewer to decide whether the incident qualifies as a Soft Breach or is cause for full termination. The reviewer’s decision is final.
If the violation is deemed a Soft Breach, the trader will receive a formal warning and will have the opportunity to restart the challenge (beginning directly from Phase 2 if it’s a two-phase challenge), for a small fee.
However, if the breach is not considered minor—or if it has occurred before—the account will be terminated.
We strongly advise all traders to ensure every position includes a Stop Loss at the time of execution in order to remain compliant and avoid warnings or account closure.
