Instant funding

No evaluation. You buy your account and start trading from day one. The only thing you need to understand before your first trade is how the trailing drawdown works. As soon as you get it clear, it plays in your favor in every session.

Rules Summary

1. No Evaluation

Buy your Instant Funding account and start trading immediately on a simulated funded account.

2. Max Drawdown: 6% trailing

The floor starts at 6% below your initial balance and only moves in one direction: up, every time you close a trade at a new balance high. The better you do, the more it rises, and understanding that mechanism is what allows you to take advantage of it.

Example: You start a $50,000 account. Your fixed trailing is $3,000.
- Week 1: Great start, you close several winning trades. The balance reaches $54,000. The floor rises to $51,000.
- Week 2: A tough week. You have an open trade with $1,500 in floating loss. Your equity drops to $50,999. Violation triggered, account closed.

Your closed balance was still $54,000. But your equity crossed the floor. The account was closed the moment that happened.

The key lies in one single thing: before opening a trade, calculate the distance between your current equity and your floor. That distance is your real risk margin for that session, not the balance, not the accumulated profit.

⚠️ The floor only moves when you close a trade at a new balance high. An unrealized gain does not offer you additional protection until you close it. 💡 After a good run of closed winning trades, your floor will have risen significantly. Before opening the next trade, calculate your equity margin, that is, the distance between your current equity and the floor. That is your real risk limit.

3. Daily Loss Limit: 3% dynamic

Each day starts with a 3% margin on the higher of your balance and your equity. It is the tightest daily limit of all Noctorial models, and the Equity Guard triggers at 2.5%, so the margin between both is narrow by design.

⚠️ The Equity Guard triggers at 2.5% and the daily loss limit is 3%. The margin between both is narrow by design. Always use stop-losses. The Equity Guard is a last resort, not a risk management strategy.

4. Equity Guard: triggers at 2.5% floating loss

A bad day doesn't have to cost you your account; it is designed precisely so that it doesn't. If your open positions accumulate a floating loss of 2.5% of your initial balance, the system automatically closes them, before the situation can escalate further. Your account remains open, and you can resume trading.

Example: On a $10,000 account: open trades at $250 loss → all positions are automatically closed.
→ See: Equity Guard

5. Profit Share: 80%, scalable to 100%

Your base profit share is 80%, which means if you generate $1,000 in profit in a cycle, $800 is yours. With the available add-ons you can scale it up to 100%.

Your first payout is available after 30 trading days and a minimum of 7 trading days completed. After that, you can withdraw every 14 calendar days. The minimum withdrawal is 1% of your starting account balance per cycle, with no maximum.

Payouts are processed in 24–48 business hours via bank transfer or crypto. Transaction fees are on your end.
→ See: Payouts

6. Prohibited Strategies

The following are prohibited without exception and lead to immediate account closure: HFT, latency arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, tick scalping, martingale, grid trading, cross-account hedging, copy trading, account sharing, and exploitation of technical platform feeds.

Automated tools that assist your decisions are fine. Those that make trading decisions for you, without your confirmation for each trade, are not.

Consistency Standards (your account remains open at all times)

These are the habits that professional traders already have. Your account is never at risk due to any of them, and in the exceptional cases where something needs to be rebalanced before a payout, continuing to trade the same way is almost always the solution.

• News trading. Profits from trades opened or closed within 3 minutes before or after a high-impact news event will not count toward your payout. Losses from those same trades do apply in full. Repeated patterns of news trading can lead to a reduction or denial of the payout for that cycle.

• Consistency rule. No single trade can account for more than 25% of the total profit in a withdrawal request.

• Lot size consistency. We calculate your average lot size per instrument throughout the cycle. A trade below half of that average (minor violation) or above double (major violation) will flag your account. Minor violation = payout may be reduced. Major violation = payout denied for that cycle. → See: Consistency Standards for full calculation

• Overleveraging. Your total concurrent margin usage across all open positions must not exceed 20–30% of your account balance at any time. Consistently exceeding this may result in a reduced payout or, in persistent cases, your account being moved to a special review group. → See: Consistency Standards

→ See: Consistency Standards

Inactivity

Open and close at least one trade every 30 consecutive days or your account will be closed.
