- 1-Step Nitro asks for 10%, with 4% daily and 6% trailing overall loss, or 3% daily on 300K. 2-Step Plus asks for 8% + 5%, with 4% daily and 10% static overall. Instant Standard / Pro / Plus have no target and 3% daily, with 5% / 3% / 6% trailing overall. The FAQ and the 1-Step page still describe a subscription-based 1-Step Nitro X. It has a 6% target, 3% daily / 3% trailing and an activation fee after passing. It is missing from the live checkout catalogue.
- Evaluations have no time limit. Daily loss resets at 5 PM EST and is measured from the higher of end-of-day balance or equity.
- Minimum trading days: none in the Nitro evaluation, 3 per 2-Step Plus phase and 5 in every funded or instant account. A day counts only with at least 0.5% profit.
- Consistency: Nitro uses 50% of target in evaluation and 45% of profit when funded. Nitro X uses 25%, funded only. Instant uses 15%, and 2-Step Plus has none.
- The Shield Risk Protocol covers funded 2-Step Plus and Instant Plus. It limits floating loss to 1% of balance, and each violation lowers your split further.
- Allowed: news trading, overnight and weekend holds, and your own trade copiers. EAs are fine except HFT, tick/news scalping and arbitrage bots. Hedging and martingale are allowed within one account. Instant accounts cannot hold hedged positions overnight.
- Banned: cross-account hedging, copying other traders or signals, and gap trading around rollover (5 min before/after). Trades under 1 minute are banned, and funded accounts lose their profit. IP sharing and VPN/VPS use for purchase or KYC are out too. US IPs cannot trade on MT5/cTrader.
- Leverage, as FX / commodities / BTC-ETH / other crypto: evaluations run 1:100 / 1:30 / 1:5 / 1:2. Funded 5K-100K accounts run 1:100 / 1:20 / 1:5 / 1:2. Funded 200K-300K accounts (instant 150K-200K) run 1:50 / 1:10 / 1:5 / 1:2.
- All accounts are swap-free. FX, metals and commodities cost $7 per lot in commission, while indices and crypto cost nothing. 30 days of inactivity is a breach. You need KYC and a verification call.
