Profit Target
The One Trade Evaluation has a 10% Profit Target.
Only profits from closed trades count toward the Profit Target. Floating profits do not count until the position is closed.
There is no minimum number of trading days during the Evaluation.
Once the Funded Account is activated, there is no additional Profit Target.
Risk Limits
The following risk limits apply during both the Evaluation and Funded stages:
- 3% Max Daily Loss.
- 6% Maximum Loss.
Max Daily Loss
The Max Daily Loss is 3%.
At the beginning of each trading day, the limit is calculated using the higher of the account balance or equity. Closed results, floating P/L, commissions, swaps and other account costs are included.
The limit resets daily at 21:00 UTC.
Maximum Loss
The Maximum Loss is fixed at 6% of the initial account balance.
It does not move upward when the account generates profits and it does not reset.
- Initial account balance
- $100,000
- Maximum Loss level (fixed)
- $94,000
Reaching or exceeding either limit constitutes a Hard Breach and results in the closure of the account.
Maximum Risk per Trade Idea
The Maximum Risk per Trade Idea applies once the Funded Account is activated.
The maximum permitted risk is 2% of the account's initial balance.
A Trade Idea may consist of one trade or several related trades when they:
- Are executed on the same instrument.
- Maintain the same direction.
- Have continuity within a rolling 10-minute window.
Continuity may exist between the opening of one trade and another, or between the closing of one trade and the opening of the next related trade. Each new related trade restarts the 10-minute window.
The risk is calculated by adding the maximum negative floating P/L reached by each trade during its lifetime.
Each trade contributes its maximum negative floating loss even if it later closes in profit or at break-even.
Reaching or exceeding 2% of the initial account balance constitutes a Hard Breach and results in the closure of the Funded Account.
Consistency target
The 30% Consistency Target applies only during the Funded stage.
No single individual trade and no single full trading day may represent more than 30% of the total accumulated net profit.
The calculation is applied separately to:
- The most profitable individual trade.
- The most profitable full trading day.
If either result exceeds 30%:
- The account is not breached.
- The profits are not removed.
- A payout cannot be requested until additional profits reduce the percentage to 30% or below.
News Trading
Trading activity is restricted from 10 minutes before until 10 minutes after a high-impact economic news event.
During this 20-minute restricted window, no trading activity may take place. This includes:
- Opening positions.
- Closing positions, either fully or partially.
- Modifying open trades, including Stop Loss or Take Profit.
- Placing, modifying or triggering pending orders.
Each affected trade is counted as a separate violation, even when several trades are affected by the same news event.
The consequences are applied progressively:
- First violation: A formal notice is issued. The account and payout remain unaffected.
- Second violation: The affected payout is reduced by 50%.
- Third violation: The affected payout is not paid, but the account remains active.
- Fourth violation: The account is closed.

Expert Advisors (EAs)
You may use an Expert Advisor only when it is your own and has been developed for your personal use.

NYS Markets may request reasonable evidence at any time to verify that the EA belongs to you and that you control its strategy and operation.
Copy Trading
Copy Trading is permitted only between NYS Markets accounts owned and controlled by the same trader.
Copying trades or signals from third parties, coordinating trading with other individuals or replicating activity between accounts belonging to different traders is not permitted.
NYS Markets may request evidence to verify the ownership and control of the accounts involved.
Prohibited Trading Practices
NYS Markets permits different trading styles, provided that the activity reflects genuine market trading and responsible risk management.
The following practices are not permitted:
- Toxic order flow or activity designed to exploit the execution environment rather than genuine market movements.
- Latency arbitrage, price-feed exploitation or the use of delayed, frozen or incorrect quotes.
- High-frequency order placement, excessive order modifications or order flooding intended to manipulate or overload the trading infrastructure.
- Opposite or coordinated positions between accounts intended to guarantee a result or avoid genuine market risk.
- Excessive exposure, overleveraging or position sizing that is inconsistent with responsible risk management.
- Opening unusually large positions or accumulating disproportionate exposure across one or more instruments.
- Copying trades, signals or strategies from third parties, or coordinating trading activity with other individuals.
- Allowing another person or an external service to manage or operate the account.
- Using third-party, rented, shared or externally managed Expert Advisors.
- Any strategy designed to bypass, manipulate or avoid the applicable risk limits or trading rules.
NYS Markets does not impose a fixed maximum lot size. However, position sizing, leverage and total exposure must remain reasonable and consistent with responsible risk management.
NYS Markets may take appropriate measures when trading activity presents disproportionate exposure, excessive leverage or patterns that are inconsistent with genuine and reasonable trading behaviour.

- Metals: up to 1:30.
- Indices: up to 1:20.
- Energies: up to 1:10.
