Trading Rules

Last updated: July 12, 2026

These rules apply to every MixFunded simulated account across our Evaluation, Instant Funded, and Pay-After-Passing programs. They exist to keep the evaluation fair and consistent for all traders. Breach of any rule may result in a soft breach (warning), a hard breach (account termination without refund), or forfeiture of an upcoming reward.

1. Drawdown

  • Daily Drawdown: equity may not fall more than the published daily percentage below the day's starting balance. The daily reset occurs at 00:00 server time.
  • Max Overall Drawdown: equity may never fall below the account's absolute drawdown floor, calculated on the initial balance and trailing to the highest closed-equity peak.
  • Drawdown is measured on equity, including floating P/L, not on closed balance.

2. Profit Targets & Time Limits

Evaluation phases require you to reach the published profit target on closed trades. There is no time limit on any MixFunded program — take as long as you need. Instant Funded accounts have no profit target and only require the minimum trading-day count before the first reward is eligible.

3. Minimum Trading Days

A minimum of 3 unique trading days is required in each evaluation phase and between reward requests. A trading day counts when at least one position is opened and closed on that calendar day.

4. No Consistency Rule

MixFunded does not enforce a consistency rule. Your best trading day can be your entire month's profit — as long as you respect the drawdown limits, every dollar counts toward your target and every dollar is payable.

5. News Trading — Fully Allowed

You may open and close positions freely around news events on every MixFunded program, including high-impact releases and central bank announcements. No blackout windows, no lot restrictions tied to the economic calendar.

6. Expert Advisors, Weekends & Overnight Holds

  • EAs and automated strategies are permitted, provided the underlying logic is your own or licensed.
  • Copy-trading between your own MixFunded accounts is allowed. Copying signals from third parties or across unrelated users is not.
  • Overnight and weekend holds are allowed on every program. Standard broker swap fees apply.

7. Prohibited Strategies

  • Latency, tick, or feed-arbitrage exploiting demo-execution differences.
  • Grid or martingale progressions with no stop losses.
  • Group hedging across unrelated accounts or with other traders.
  • Use of leaked signals, insider information, or third-party account managers.

8. Leverage & Lot Sizing

Maximum leverage follows your program's spec sheet (up to 1:100 on Forex and 1:20 on Indices, Metals, Crypto, and Oil on Evaluation accounts). Combined open risk on correlated pairs should stay within sensible risk management — the drawdown rule is your real ceiling.

9. Rewards

  • Rewards are processed weekly on Mondays in USDT.
  • Evaluation and PAPP accounts pay 80% to the trader. Instant Funded accounts start at 60% and scale to 80% after 3 successful rewards.
  • KYC is required before the first reward above the equivalent of USD 1,000.

10. Account Credentials — Do Not Change MT4/MT5 Passwords

MT4/MT5 investor and master passwords on funded accounts must not be changed. Our risk system relies on the issued credentials to read equity, open positions, and closed trades in real time. If we cannot access the account, we cannot verify your progress or the trades attached to a reward request.

  • If you need a password reset for any reason (suspected leak, lost credentials, device change), contact support@mixfunded.com and we will rotate the credentials for you and re-sync monitoring.
  • Any reward request on an account whose passwords were changed outside of support will be denied until access is restored, and repeat breaches may result in account termination under clause 10 of these rules.

11. Fair-Use & Discretion

MixFunded reserves the right to review any trading pattern that, in our reasonable judgement, exploits the simulated environment rather than reflects genuine market skill. We will always contact you before taking action beyond a soft warning.
