2.Trading Behaviour and Rules
Trading Behaviour and Rules We offer a 1-step Funding Stax assessment course, which is based on one stage of training that you need to complete in order to receive funding. To complete the assessment course, it is important that you have a dynamic trading system and a risk management profile. After reaching the profit target in Stage 1, the assessment stage will be manually checked by our risk management team. This verification process will be completed within two business days.
In case of violation of any of the rules mentioned in this section, all positions on the broker's platform will be immediately closed, the Client's account will be closed, and the right to payment will be canceled.
During the training phase, you should test your trading skills and define yourself as a trader. At the stage of a single-stage challenge, you must achieve the target profit level of 10%, without violating any other rules, and have at least 4 trading days.
The maximum daily loss limit is 4%. The maximum daily loss is the amount that a trader can lose every day. For the purposes of this rule, a higher value between equity and balance sheet will be used. This rule is set to equal 4% of the initial capital or balance each day. The rule states that the balance of the day, which is the result of the current floating PnL (profit and loss) in total with all closed positions for that day, should not exceed the maximum daily loss limit. The daily maximum loss is reset every day at 00:00 local time on the server.
The maximum loss limit is 6%. The maximum loss limit is the amount below which funds or balance cannot fall. This rule is set equal to 6% of the initial account size. For example, if a trader has an account worth $100,000 and the maximum loss limit is 6%, then equity or balance cannot fall below $94,000 at any time.
At Funding Stax, we strive to provide our traders with maximum flexibility and opportunities for successful trading. However, to ensure fairness and risk management, we introduce the following trading rules in the news:
The "Trade in the news" option:
If a trader has purchased a challenge with the "Trade in the news" option, he has the right to open and close trades at any time, including during the release of important news. This allows the trader to make the most of market volatility and react promptly to changes. Trading without the "Trade in News" option:
If the trader has not purchased the "Trading in the news" option, he is obliged to comply with time limits when trading during the news release periods. In this case, the opening and closing of transactions is allowed only 30 minutes after the publication of the news, or before the release of the news indicated on the Forex Factory platform. This rule helps to minimize the risks associated with high volatility and unpredictable market movements at the time of news release.
All traders are required to keep track of the news calendar on the ForexFactory and take into account the time of their release when planning their trading operations. For trading in yellow news, Funding Stax cancels the profit received by the trader, and for red news, it blocks the prop account. Violation of these rules may result in sanctions, including cancellation of the results of the challenge or other measures provided for by the company's internal regulations.
We are confident that following these rules will help you manage risks more effectively and achieve your trading goals. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
