Trading rules

All the Tradeify Perps trading rules on one page in plain language, from risk limits and leverage to prohibited strategies, hedging and enforcement.

This page sums up the Tradeify Perps trading rules in plain language, with links to the detailed articles. The full rules are the Tradeify Perps Trading Rules, which are part of the Funded Trader Agreement. They apply to every evaluation and funded account from the moment you get access to an evaluation. If anything on this page differs from the Trading Rules, the Trading Rules govern.

The core principle

Trade your strategy freely, but don't exploit the platform or get around its risk and compliance controls. The rules exist to stop manipulation, platform exploitation and coordinated activity, not to restrict legitimate trading styles.

Risk limits

  • Maximum loss: 5% of the account size, static. The floor never trails.

  • Daily loss limit: 3% of the start-of-day balance, if you chose that option. The trading day ends at 16:45 US Eastern time.

  • Measurement: both limits are checked against your equity, including open positions, in real time. Reaching either one closes all open positions and breaches the account.

  • Leverage: set per instrument, up to 40x with the 3% daily loss limit and half that, rounded down, with no daily loss limit.

  • Total exposure: capped at 40x your account balance on every account.

  • Funded allocation cap: $200K in active funded accounts, up to $100K for each daily loss limit option.

What you can do

  • Trade manually.

  • Trade during market-moving events, within the news leverage limit.

  • Trade at weekends where the market is available, within the weekend leverage limit.

  • Hold positions through scheduled economic announcements where permitted.

  • Use different styles and strategies, as long as they don't involve manipulation, exploitation or getting around risk controls.

  • Copy trades between your own accounts with the platform's copy-trading feature, as long as it doesn't create opposing positions. See "Copying trades between your own accounts".

  • Buy and trade several accounts, within the funded allocation cap.

Automated trading isn't available. Bots, scripts and other automated tools are prohibited.

Prohibited strategies

  • Latency and price exploitation: trading on delayed or stale prices, exploiting faster external feeds, or taking advantage of pricing errors. Trading to get a non-market price is prohibited whatever your intent.

  • Platform or execution exploitation: exploiting bugs, slippage, liquidation, margin or pricing mechanisms, using undocumented APIs or creating excessive system load.

  • High-frequency or excessive order activity: strategies built mainly on execution speed, or excessive order placement, changes or cancellations to gain a technological advantage.

  • Market manipulation: spoofing, layering, wash trading, self-trading, artificial activity or orders you don't intend to execute.

  • Coordinated trading and group trading: coordinating trades across accounts or with other people, using one account to protect another, or using sacrificial accounts.

  • Third-party control: letting anyone else trade or manage your account, copying trades with anyone else, or using signal or "pass-your-challenge" services.

  • Evaluation abuse: repeated maximum-risk, all-or-nothing attempts to pass by chance, and rolling accounts. We don't disclose the criteria we use to identify evaluation abuse.

  • Microscalping: 50% or more of your account profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds.

  • Excessive account activity: buying and trading accounts mainly to generate account volume rather than as a genuine strategy.

Hedging

You must not hold opposing positions in the same instrument, or in two or more instruments in the same Product Group. This applies within one account, across your own accounts and against accounts you hold elsewhere, including with other firms and other Tradeify brands. It's a breach whatever your intent. Hedging is a fair-play violation. See "Hedging and Product Groups".

News and weekend leverage limits

During a news window, and from 16:45 US Eastern time on Friday until the market reopens after the weekend, maximum leverage is temporarily limited to 5x. It isn't a trading ban, and there's no breach or removal of profit, but orders may be canceled and positions reduced or closed automatically. See "News and weekend leverage limits".

Inactivity

If you place no trades on an account for 30 consecutive calendar days, the account breaches. We aim to email you a warning after 28 days, but not receiving one doesn't prevent the breach. Placing one trade before the 30 days end resets the count. An inactivity breach is a normal breach, so your Live Fund is kept.

VPN, VPS and remote access

  • Don't use a VPN, proxy, masked location or anyone else's identity to get around a country restriction, verification, an account limit or any other eligibility control.

  • Don't use a VPS, virtual machine or remote environment where it hides or prevents us from verifying your device, network, location, identity or account activity.

  • Don't use any method designed to get around our security, verification, monitoring, fraud-prevention, risk or compliance controls.

We may restrict, suspend or terminate access if we find this activity, or if we can't reasonably verify your access. We don't disclose our detection methods.

Monitoring and enforcement

We monitor accounts for risk, security and compliance. We may hold a payout, ask for more information or ask you to complete a check-in. A single indicator doesn't necessarily mean a violation; we look at the overall activity. That doesn't apply to rules that are breached whatever your intent, such as hedging and non-market prices.

Proportionate action. For most breaches, we act according to how serious the activity is. Actions include removing profits linked to the activity, rejecting a payout, placing you in the Trader Development Program, restricting trading, and suspending, breaching or terminating an account. A rule violation also forfeits your Live Fund.

Automatic consequences. A fair-play violation closes all your Tradeify Perps accounts, forfeits unpaid profit, Rewards and your Live Fund, and permanently bars you from Tradeify Perps. See "Trader check-ins and fair play".

Across Tradeify. A ban from Tradeify Futures is also a ban from Tradeify Perps. A ban from Tradeify Perps may extend to other Tradeify brands, case by case. A chargeback without a legitimate cause leads to a permanent ban from all Tradeify services.

Below are the Tradeify Perps Trading Rules. They are Annex A to the Funded Trader Agreement and apply to every evaluation and funded account from the moment you are given access to an evaluation. They set out the loss limits, the trading day, leverage, commissions and swap, the news and weekend leverage limits, prohibited strategies, hedging, monitoring and enforcement. The text below is the same as Annex A. In it, "the Agreement" means the Funded Trader Agreement, and capitalized terms have the meanings given in Section 1 of that agreement; the Glossary of key terms explains them in plain language. The version in effect at the time of the relevant trading activity governs that activity.

Annex A — Trading Rules

These Trading Rules govern all Evaluation Accounts and Funded Accounts issued by Tradeify FX LLC under the Tradeify Perps brand. They form part of the Agreement. Capitalized terms have the meanings given in Section 1 of the Agreement. All times are US Eastern time, using the 24-hour clock, unless stated otherwise.

Core principle: trade your strategy freely, but do not exploit the Platform or circumvent its risk and compliance controls.

A.1 Application

A.1.1 These Trading Rules apply to Evaluation Accounts and Funded Accounts. They apply to Live Accounts only where, and to the extent that, the Live Trader Agreement applies them.

A.1.2 These Trading Rules apply from the moment you are given access to an Evaluation, as set out in Section 5.2 of the Terms of Use.

A.2 Account metrics

A.2.1 The Account Balance, Account Equity, Initial Account Balance and Start-of-Day Balance are calculated by the Platform.

A.2.2 The Start-of-Day Balance is set at the start of each Trading Day, at 16:45 US Eastern time.

A.2.3 The Maximum Loss and the Daily Loss Limit are checked against Account Equity continuously, in real time. Because Account Equity includes unrealized profit and loss, an open losing position can cause a Breach before it is closed. The Start-of-Day Balance is the closed balance and excludes open positions.

A.3 Profit target; passing

A.3.1 The profit target on an Evaluation Account is 10% of the Account Size. It is measured on the Account Balance, so only closed trades count.

A.3.2 There is no minimum number of trading days and no time limit. You can pass in 1 day.

A.3.3 You pass when you reach the profit target without a Breach and, if you chose the 50% consistency option, meet the requirement in Section A.7. Passing is automatic, and the Funded Account activates under Section 3.4 of the Agreement.

A.4 Maximum Loss

A.4.1 Every Evaluation Account and Funded Account has a Maximum Loss of 5% of the Account Size. It is static.

A.4.2 The Maximum Loss floor is the Initial Account Balance minus 5% of the Account Size. The floor never trails. It does not move with profits or with payouts. There is no payout lock.

A.4.3 If Account Equity reaches or falls below the Maximum Loss floor at any time, the account is in Breach.

A.5 Daily Loss Limit

A.5.1 This Section applies only to accounts with the 3% daily loss limit option. Accounts with no daily loss limit have no daily cap, but the 5% Maximum Loss in Section A.4 still applies.

A.5.2 Daily loss is capped at 3% of the Start-of-Day Balance. The daily loss floor for each Trading Day is the Start-of-Day Balance minus 3% of the Start-of-Day Balance. It is recalculated at the start of each Trading Day, at 16:45 US Eastern time, and applies for that whole Trading Day.

A.5.3 If Account Equity reaches or falls below the daily loss floor during a Trading Day, the account is in Breach and is closed.

A.6 Breach on touch; no recovery; system of record

A.6.1 Breach on touch. A Breach occurs immediately when the Maximum Loss floor or, where it applies, the daily loss floor is reached.

A.6.2 No recovery. Losses that cause a Breach cannot be undone by later profitable trades, equity recoveries or payouts. Once a floor is touched, the Breach is final.

A.6.3 Effect. When the Maximum Loss floor or the daily loss floor is reached, the Platform automatically liquidates all open positions immediately. On any Breach, the account may be disabled immediately. A breached account is no longer eligible for any payout, and any Eligible Profit remaining on it at the time of the Breach is forfeited. Payouts already received are not affected. If a Funded Account breaches normally, your Live Fund is kept, under Section 3.7.4 of the Agreement.

A.6.4 Platform as system of record. The Platform's calculation of Account Balance, Account Equity, Start-of-Day Balance, the Maximum Loss floor, the daily loss floor, leverage, exposure, the Live Fund balance and payout eligibility is the sole and binding record. Minor discrepancies caused by latency, rounding, reporting delay or reference pricing do not invalidate a Breach. Nothing in this Section stops you raising a dispute about a manifest error.

A.7 Consistency (Evaluation only)

A.7.1 The 50% consistency requirement applies only to Evaluation Accounts where you chose the 50% consistency option. It does not apply to Funded Accounts. If you chose no consistency, there is no consistency requirement.

A.7.2 Your largest single Trading Day's realized profit must be no more than 50% of your total realized profit. If it is more than 50% when you reach the profit target, the Evaluation is not complete, but the account is not in Breach. You can keep trading until the requirement is met, with the profit target still met. There is no time limit.

A.7.3 Consistency is calculated on realized P&L from closed trades only. A partial close counts on the Trading Day on which the profit is realized.

A.8 Markets and trading hours

A.8.1 Crypto, indices, commodities and equity perps, and FX perps when offered, are available in a single account. The instruments offered are listed in the Tradeify Perps help center. You can trade only the instruments enabled in the Platform for your account at the relevant time.

A.8.2 The Company may add, remove, disable or restrict instruments at any time, including because of liquidity, volatility, pricing errors, market closures, technical issues, provider availability, legal risk or internal risk exposure.

A.8.3 Each instrument can be traded only while it is open on the Platform. Weekend trading is allowed where the relevant market is available, subject to Section A.11A. You may hold positions through scheduled economic announcements where permitted, subject to Section A.11.

A.9 Leverage and account exposure

A.9.1 Leverage is set per instrument. The daily loss limit option sets the maximum leverage on the account. Accounts with the 3% daily loss limit can use up to 40x. Accounts with no daily loss limit get half the leverage on every market, rounded down to a whole number.

A.9.2 The maximum leverage for each instrument, under each daily loss limit option, is published in the Tradeify Perps help center and displayed in the Platform.

A.9.3 Total exposure across all markets is capped at 40x the Account Balance on every account, whatever the leverage available on individual instruments.

A.9.4 The Company may reduce leverage or apply additional margin requirements at any time for risk, liquidity or compliance reasons, including under Sections A.11 and A.11A.

A.10 Commissions and Swap

A.10.1 Commissions. Commissions are set for each market and are charged on each fill, on entry and exit, as a percentage of the notional value of the fill (its size multiplied by its price).

A.10.2 Swap. Open positions pay a flat Swap, charged every hour on both long and short positions, as a percentage of the position's notional value (its size multiplied by the current price). Part-hours are not charged.

A.10.3 Rates and application. The commission and Swap rates for each market are published in the Tradeify Perps help center and displayed in the Platform. The same rates apply on Evaluation Accounts and Funded Accounts. Rates for Live Accounts are set under the Live Trader Agreement.

A.11 News Leverage Limit

A.11.1 How it works. During a News Window, maximum leverage on the affected markets is temporarily reduced to 5x. The Platform applies the limit automatically. It is not a trading ban. There is no Breach and no removal of profit.

A.11.2 Accounts it applies to. The News Leverage Limit applies to Evaluation Accounts and Funded Accounts and, under the Live Trader Agreement, Live Accounts.

A.11.3 News Windows.

(a) High-impact economic events: from 10 minutes before to 10 minutes after the scheduled release.

(b) Company earnings: where the Platform's earnings calendar shows an exact release time, from 30 minutes before to 30 minutes after that time. Where the company has said only that it will release before market open, the window runs from 05:30 to 09:30 US Eastern time on the release day; where it has said after market close, from 15:30 to 17:30 US Eastern time. If the company changes the date or time, the calendar updates and the window moves with it.

High-impact events are those marked red folder on the ForexFactory economic calendar. Company earnings release times are those shown on the Platform's earnings calendar. The trader dashboard shows upcoming events with a countdown, and a warning 15 minutes before each News Window opens, so you can reduce positions at a price you choose.

A.11.4 Events and affected markets.

(a) US high-impact events, including FOMC, CPI, PPI, Non-Farm Payrolls, GDP, Retail Sales and PCE: all markets are limited to 5x. Total account exposure is limited to 5x for the News Window.

(b) Non-US high-impact events, including ECB, BOE, BOJ and other central bank decisions: FX pairs that include that currency are limited to 5x. Where no FX pair including that currency is offered, the event has no effect.

(c) Company earnings: that company's stock perp is limited to 5x.

A.11.5 New and open orders.

(a) You can still open or add to positions, up to 5x.

(b) Limit orders with leverage more than 2% above 5x (above 5.1x) are canceled when the News Window opens.

(c) Reduce-only orders stay open, unless the position they belong to is reduced or closed. Then all of that position's limit orders are canceled, reduce-only orders included.

(d) Take profit and stop loss orders stay active. Fixed-size orders larger than the remaining position shrink to its new size and do not grow back.

A.11.6 Open positions.

(a) Positions within 2% of 5x, or below it, are not affected.

(b) If Account Equity is not below the Initial Account Balance (the account is not in drawdown) and the account has enough funds to cover the margin all its positions need at 5x, no positions are reduced. Funds are the available balance plus the margin in open positions and orders, minus any net unrealized loss. A net unrealized profit is not counted.

(c) Otherwise, positions more than 2% above 5x are reduced to 5x. Each keeps its margin and its size shrinks in proportion: a position at 25x reduced to 5x keeps about 20% of its size. The fee and any loss on the reduced portion are paid from the position's margin.

(d) If Account Equity is more than 1% below the Initial Account Balance, positions more than 2% above 5x are closed in full instead of reduced.

A.11.7 After the News Window.

(a) Normal leverage resumes automatically.

(b) Canceled orders are not restored, and reduced positions keep their new size.

(c) Reductions and closes are labeled "News leverage limit" in the trade history.

(d) Markets whose normal maximum is below 5x keep their lower limit throughout.

A.11A Weekend Leverage Limit

A.11A.1 How it works. During the Weekend Window, maximum leverage on every market is temporarily reduced to 5x, and total account exposure is limited to 5x. The Platform applies the limit automatically. It is not a trading ban. There is no Breach and no removal of profit.

A.11A.2 Weekend Window. The Weekend Window runs from 16:45 US Eastern time on Friday until the relevant market reopens after the weekend. For markets that trade through the weekend, it ends when the other markets reopen. The Weekend Leverage Limit applies at weekends only, and not on market holidays.

A.11A.3 Accounts it applies to. The Weekend Leverage Limit applies to Evaluation Accounts and Funded Accounts and, under the Live Trader Agreement, Live Accounts.

A.11A.4 Orders and positions. Sections A.11.5 to A.11.7 apply during the Weekend Window as they apply during a News Window.

A.12 Permitted trading

You may use a broad range of legitimate trading approaches, as long as your activity stays within the Platform's risk, compliance and fair-use requirements. Permitted activities may include:

(a) manual trading;

(b) trading during market-moving events, subject to Section A.11;

(c) weekend trading where the relevant market is available, subject to Section A.11A;

(d) holding positions through scheduled economic announcements where permitted;

(e) different trading styles and strategies, as long as they do not involve market manipulation, Platform exploitation or circumvention of risk controls; and

(f) copying trades between your own accounts, under Section A.17.2.

A.13 Prohibited trading strategies

Strategies or activities designed to exploit the Platform rather than generate legitimate trading results are prohibited. These expand on Section 6.2 of the Agreement.

A.13.1 Cross-account hedging. Taking opposing positions across multiple accounts to materially reduce or eliminate trading risk; coordinating long and short positions between different accounts; using related accounts or third parties to create offsetting positions; and using correlated instruments or accounts specifically to circumvent the Company's risk controls. See also Section A.14.

A.13.2 Latency and price exploitation. Trading based on delayed or stale prices; exploiting differences between the Company's pricing and faster external feeds; trying to benefit from execution or price-feed delays; and taking advantage of known pricing errors or incorrect market data. See also Section A.15.

A.13.3 Platform or execution exploitation. Exploiting software bugs or technical errors; trying to manipulate order execution; exploiting slippage, liquidation, margin or pricing mechanisms; using undocumented APIs, endpoints or technical vulnerabilities; and deliberately creating excessive system load through order activity.

A.13.4 High-frequency or excessive order activity. The following are prohibited: strategies designed mainly to exploit execution speed, infrastructure or order-processing behavior; and excessive order placement, modification or cancellation where the main purpose is to gain a technological advantage rather than to carry out a legitimate trading strategy.

A.13.5 Market manipulation. Spoofing; layering; wash trading; self-trading; artificially creating market activity; placing orders without a genuine intention to execute; and any activity intended to manipulate pricing, liquidity or Platform behavior.

A.13.6 Coordinated trading. Coordinating trades across multiple accounts to manufacture profitable accounts; using one account to protect another account from losses; using losing or sacrificial accounts to increase the chance of another account passing; coordinating opposite positions to manufacture profits or guarantee payouts; and using third parties to control or manage an account. Copying trades between your own accounts is allowed under Section A.17.2. Coordinated trading means opposite or offsetting positions, or using one account to protect another.

A.13.7 Evaluation abuse. Repeatedly taking maximum-risk, all-or-nothing attempts with the sole aim of passing through random outcomes; and using multiple accounts in a way designed to increase the chance of passing through chance rather than by showing genuine trading ability. If the Company identifies evaluation abuse, it may, following an individual performance review, place you in the Trader Development Program under Section 6.5 of the Agreement. The Company does not disclose the criteria it uses to identify evaluation abuse (Section A.24.4).

A.14 Hedging and Opposing Positions

A.14.1 Opposing Positions. "Opposing Positions" means one or more long positions and one or more short positions held at the same time in a single account, across two or more Trader-Controlled Accounts, or across one or more Trader-Controlled Accounts and one or more External Accounts, whatever their size, quantity, notional value, leverage, order type or holding period, and whether they were opened at the same time or at different times.

A.14.2 Independent trading. You must carry out your trading strategies independently. Team trading, collaborative trading, Group Trading, management of your account by or for any third party, and copying or mirroring trades between you and any other person are prohibited. Copying your own trades across your own Trader-Controlled Accounts is allowed under Section A.17.2, as long as it does not create Opposing Positions.

A.14.3 Hedging prohibited. You must not hold Opposing Positions in (a) the same instrument, or (b) two or more instruments in the same Product Group. Each asset class is a separate Product Group. This is a breach of the Agreement whatever your intent, purpose or strategy, and whether or not the positions in fact offset risk or made a profit or a loss. It applies whether the positions are held in one account or in different accounts, and equally where one of the Opposing Positions is held in an External Account.

A.14.4 Application. This Section applies at all times and to every account type, during and after an Evaluation, and before and after any payout is requested, approved or paid. It applies to Live Accounts to the extent the Live Trader Agreement applies it.

A.14.5 Monitoring. The Company monitors Trader-Controlled Accounts continuously, using automated and manual methods. The Company's own trading and account records are the evidence for any decision under this Section. The Company may request information, documents, and statements or trading records for any External Account. If the Company tells you that positions may breach this Section, you must close them promptly.

A.14.6 Consequences. A breach of this Section places every account involved in violation status. Any profits made during the period of the violation are forfeited, whether or not they have been requested for payout. Hedging is also a Fair-Play Violation, so Section 6.4 of the Agreement applies: all of your Tradeify Perps accounts are closed, your Live Fund is forfeited and you are permanently barred from Tradeify Perps.

A.15 Non-Market Prices and stale data

A.15.1 Non-Market Price. "Non-Market Price" means a price on the Platform that does not reflect the prevailing market price of the same instrument at the same time, including any price arising from market data that is stale, frozen, delayed, erroneous or absent, or from a Platform or data-feed outage.

A.15.2 Prohibition. You must not trade, or try to trade, in order to obtain execution at a Non-Market Price. This includes trading on delayed or stale prices, exploiting differences between the Company's pricing and faster external feeds, trying to benefit from execution or price-feed delays, taking advantage of known pricing errors or incorrect market data, and trading during or immediately after a Platform, data-feed or market disruption to obtain a Non-Market Price. Any profit obtained at a Non-Market Price is subject to Section A.15.3, whether or not intent is shown.

A.15.3 Consequences. Where you have traded in breach of Section A.15.2, or obtained execution at a Non-Market Price, the Company may:

(a) void, cancel or adjust the affected orders, fills and positions, and re-state the account's balance, profit and loss, Maximum Loss floor, daily loss floor and related metrics as if the affected trades had been executed at the prevailing market price at the time, or had not taken place. If re-statement means the account exceeded a loss limit, that Breach is treated as having occurred at the time of the affected trade;

(b) place any account involved in violation status and forfeit any profits made during the period of the violation, whether or not they have been requested for payout; and

(c) terminate any or all of your accounts and permanently restrict your access to Tradeify Perps.

The Company's usual response to an isolated occurrence that is not part of a pattern is to act under paragraph (a), with paragraph (b) where profits were obtained at a Non-Market Price, and to tell you. Paragraph (c) is reserved for repeated conduct, or conduct that otherwise shows a deliberate pattern of exploiting Non-Market Prices. Taking a lesser step on one occasion does not waive the Company's right to take that or any other step later.

A.15.4 Application and monitoring. This Section applies at all times and to every account type, during and after an Evaluation, and before and after any payout. The Company monitors execution prices using automated and manual methods, and its own trading, order and market data records are the evidence for any decision under this Section. If the Company tells you that a position may breach this Section, you must close it promptly.

A.15.5 Timing of enforcement. Decisions under this Section are made on review of the Company's records and not in real time. The Company may act under Section A.15.3 at any time after the relevant conduct, including for conduct in an earlier month, in an earlier Evaluation, or on an account that has since passed, been funded or received a payout. A delay in identifying conduct or exercising a right does not waive it. Continued trading, passing an Evaluation or receiving a payout in the meantime does not cure the breach.

A.16 Microscalping

Microscalping means trading to capture small profits from minimal price movements, typically within a very short period. Trades held for less than 10 seconds are difficult to replicate or copy reliably, so 50% or more of your account profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds.

A.17 Automated trading; copy trading

A.17.1 Automated trading. Automated trading is not available on the Platform. You must not use bots, scripts or other automated tools to place or manage trades, other than the Platform's own copy-trading feature under Section A.17.2.

A.17.2 Copy trading. Copying trades between your own accounts is allowed, using the Platform's copy-trading feature, as long as it does not create Opposing Positions under Section A.14. How to use the feature is explained in the Tradeify Perps help center. Copying or mirroring trades with any other person is prohibited.

A.17.3 Suspension. The Company may suspend or disable any automation or copy-trading arrangement at any time for risk, compliance or operational reasons.

A.18 Fair Play

A.18.1 Standard. All trading on Evaluation Accounts and Funded Accounts must be consistent with Fair Play.

A.18.2 Review. The Company assesses Fair Play on the overall pattern of trading and account activity, across accounts and over time.

A.18.3 Violations. Cross-account hedging, gaming the Evaluation, Group Trading and coordinated trading, and Rolling Accounts (Section 6.2(m) to (p) of the Agreement) are Fair-Play Violations, with the consequences in Section 6.4 of the Agreement.

A.18.4 Evaluation Accounts. This Section applies to Evaluation Accounts from the moment you are given access to an Evaluation (Section A.1.2).

A.19 Excessive account activity

Buying and trading multiple accounts is allowed, within any limit under Section A.22. Where the overall pattern of account purchases and trading appears mainly focused on generating account volume rather than a genuine trading strategy, the Company may review it and may move you into the Trader Development Program, require a Check-in, reject accounts or, in serious or repeated cases, take action under Section A.25. Where the activity amounts to gaming the Evaluation or Rolling Accounts, Section 6.4 of the Agreement applies. The Company assesses the overall scale and pattern of activity case by case, not individual purchases or trades on their own.

A.20 Remote access and verification

A.20.1 You must not use a virtual private server (VPS), virtual machine, virtualized environment, remote computing environment or similar technology to access the Platform or your accounts where it obscures, alters, masks or prevents the Company from reliably verifying your device, network, location, identity or account activity.

A.20.2 You must not use any technology, configuration, service or method designed to circumvent, interfere with, manipulate or evade the Company's security, verification, monitoring, fraud-prevention, risk or compliance controls.

A.20.3 The Company may restrict, suspend or terminate access where such activity is identified, or where it cannot reasonably establish the integrity of its verification or security controls.

A.21 Inactivity

A.21.1 If no trades are placed on an account for 30 consecutive calendar days, the account is in Breach due to inactivity. This applies to Evaluation Accounts and Funded Accounts. An inactivity Breach is a normal breach: it has the effect set out in Section A.6.3, and your Live Fund is kept.

A.21.2 The Company aims to send you an inactivity warning by email after 28 consecutive days without a trade. Placing at least one trade before the 30 days end prevents the Breach. Not receiving a warning does not prevent an inactivity Breach.

A.22 Maximum funded allocation

A.22.1 The total Account Size of your active Funded Accounts may not exceed $200K. Within that total, Funded Accounts with the 3% daily loss limit option are capped at $100K, and Funded Accounts with no daily loss limit are capped at $100K. Evaluation Accounts do not count towards these caps. Because only one Tradeify login is allowed per household (Section 9.6 of the Agreement), the caps apply per household.

A.22.2 If passing an Evaluation would take you over a cap in Section A.22.1, the new Funded Account will not be activated until you are back within the cap. It then activates.

A.22.3 The Company may aggregate accounts it reasonably decides are controlled by the same individual, including accounts linked by shared identity or KYC details, devices or IP addresses, behavioral similarity, payment methods or other fraud or risk indicators.

A.23 Payouts

Payouts are on demand and governed by Section 7 of the Agreement. The Live Fund cannot be withdrawn and is not available for payout.

A.24 Monitoring and reviews

A.24.1 Monitoring. The Company may monitor account activity for risk-management, security and compliance purposes. Reviews may consider: trading patterns; position sizing; order behavior; account relationships; IP and device information; VPN, proxy or remote-access activity where relevant; API and automated-trading activity; similarity between accounts; cross-account trading patterns; payout history; KYC information; and other indicators of potential rule violations.

A.24.2 How indicators are assessed. A single indicator does not necessarily amount to a violation. The Company considers the overall activity and the available evidence before reaching a decision. This does not apply to rules that are breached whatever your intent, such as Sections A.14 and A.15.

A.24.3 Suspicious or unusual activity. If trading activity raises compliance or risk concerns, the Company may temporarily hold a payout or request more information. Depending on the circumstances, you may be asked to: explain your trading strategy; complete a human or automated interview; provide more KYC information; demonstrate your trading platform; explain your use of automated systems; or provide information about account ownership or trading activity. The purpose of the review is to decide whether the account activity is consistent with these Trading Rules.

A.24.4 Methods not disclosed. The Company does not have to disclose the methods, technologies, indicators, thresholds or information it uses to identify prohibited activity or assess compliance, where disclosure could compromise the effectiveness or integrity of its controls.

A.25 Enforcement

A.25.1 If the Company decides that an account has broken these Trading Rules or the Agreement, it may take action appropriate to the severity and nature of the activity. Possible actions include:

(a) requesting more information;

(b) conducting a compliance interview;

(c) removing profits linked to prohibited activity;

(d) rejecting a payout;

(e) placing you in the Trader Development Program, which limits Evaluation purchases and active Funded Accounts;

(f) restricting trading activity;

(g) suspending an account;

(h) breaching an account;

(i) terminating an account;
