Rules Explanations
What does maximum number of contracts mean?
Maximum number of contracts refers to the total maximum amount of contracts you may have open on your account at a time. For example, if you are only allowed 6 contracts, you may have 6 contracts of one product open, or a mix such as 3 $ES and 3 $NQ. If you have more than 6 contracts open longer than 5 seconds, you will fail the challenge. You will be notified end of day about the error if so.
What is the daily loss limit?
The daily loss limit is the loss amount that you cannot exceed at any point during the trading day between 6:00PM EST to 4:10PM EST.
The daily loss limit is the net loss during that day i.e. for the Tradeify challenge if you lose more than $1,000 in the day you will break the rule. The net loss will include all your commissions, fees.
As the daily loss limit is net, if you are $500 in profit in the morning but have a bad spell and end the day $500 in loss, you will not break a rule. You may have lost $1000 from the peak of your day to the end of the day, your net loss for the day is still less than $1000 so you do not break a rule.
If you break this rule your Tradeify challenge or Tradeify Funded Trader accounts will immediately be stopped for trading. The rule resets each trading day.
What is the maximum trailing drawdown?
The Trailing Maximum Drawdown is a minimum account balance that trails with your profits made in the account.
The trailing maximum drawdown is a gross loss during that day i.e. for the Tradeify challenge if you lose more than $1,000 at any point, even if you have made profit, it break the rule. The net loss will include all your commissions, fees.
The trailing drawdown is used to help traders keep their hard earned profit and prevent them from losing it right back.
What does it mean to close all positions by market close?
To pass the Tradeify challenges and for Tradeify funded traders we require that our traders close their positions before 4:10PM Eastern Time Monday through Friday when the markets close.
You must not hold any position after the market has closed. Traders can resume trading when the market opens at 6:00PM Eastern Time Monday through Thursday and on Sunday evening. Traders must not have any position open while the market is closed, this will break a rule in the Tradeify challenge and result in rule break in the Tradeify Funded Trader program.
Some futures markets close at different times and you must make sure that you do not hold these positions after the market has closed. These can include: Corn (ZC), Wheat (ZW), Lean Hogs (HE), Live Cattle (LE), Soybeans (ZS), Soybean Meal (ZM), and Soybean Oil (ZL).
There are also holidays where the market may close at different times, again positions must be closed when the market closes.
What does βtrade a minimum of 7 daysβ mean?
To pass the challenge you must make at least 1 trade for a total 7 days.
The 7 days do not have to be consecutive and can be spread out over a period. This rule helps us ensure that you are a consistent performer and a chance to test your skills over multiple days and different conditions in the market.
What is a reset and how does it work?
If you break a rule and fail the challenge you can reset your account at any time. Simply purchase reset credits and reset your account in your dashboard and try again!
