Trading Rules
Trading Combine & Express Funded Account: The Maximum Loss Limit value is calculated and set at the end of the trading day. This means the minimum account balance will not be adjusted while you are trading; this will be adjusted between trading days based on your account balance high.
Live Funded Account: Similar to the way the Daily Loss Limit is calculated intraday in the Trading Combine® once in the Live Funded Account, the Maximum Loss Limit is also liquidated intraday (based on unrealized P&L). If, while trading, the account balance falls below the minimum account balance displayed on your Trader Dashboard, you will be pulled from your trades right away, your account will be liquidated, and the rule will be broken.
The Scaling Plan levels are not automatically updated in the Live Funded Account as they are in the Express Funded Account. A trader will need to contact us to have their Max Position Size adjusted.
Commissions Calculation on Rithmic Platforms
Trading Combine & Express Funded Account: Fees and Commissions will be included in your P&L. You can use your P&L to get an accurate count of your P&L for the day.
Live Funded Account: Fees and Commissions are not included in your P&L. You will need to be aware of these costs. You will need to either reference the 'Total Commissions' column or compare the difference between your Account Balance (your current balance) and Cash on Hand (your balance at the start of the trading day).
What is the Consistency Target?
- The Consistency Target measures a trader’s ability to make repeated profits while managing risk. To pass the Trading Combine, your best day (most significant winning day) must be no greater than 50% of your profit target.
- If your best day equals or exceeds 50% of your profit target, you’ll need to continue trading until your best day % of total profit is below 50%.
- We want to be clear about the potential this gives our traders—we cut the minimum days to earn funding in half—but we don’t expect everyone to pass in 2 days. There is no rush.
Isn't it impossible to do exactly 50%?
- Technically, no it isn't impossible -- but it is unlikely. That's why we’ve built a small buffer into the backend that accounts for market fluctuations. This way, you don’t need to be down to the penny to pass! Keep those exits tight, and you'll be okay.
What is the Recommended Best Day?
- To determine the Recommended Best Day, it's important to keep in mind that your best day must be below 50% of your profit target. We suggest you always set your daily profit target below that amount in your trading plan. This lets you lock in profits daily, prevent overtrading, and show consistency.
- If your best day is 50% or larger than your profit target, you must make additional profits to meet your new increased profit target.
The Consistency Target is never required, it's only an objective in the Trading Combine. The Consistency Target is not a requirement for the Express Funded Account or the Live Funded Account.
