If a trader utilizes HFT during the evaluation stage at any point in order to assist with passing, the funded account profit split will reach its limit once a trader has gained 6% from the starting balance of the account. Any positive trading after the 6% gain from the initial balance will not be eligible towards your profit split. Gaining beyond 6% will not break any rules; however, these virtual profits would not be included if you have passed with HFT.
For example, if you trade continuously for up to $12,000 profit on a 200k account, the profit split will be based on any virtual profits generated up to this point. You would receive 50%, 70%, or 80% of the numeric value ($12,000 in this case) of the 6% profit on your funded account starting balance. The 6% maximum gain per payout applies based on the starting balance of the account and resets after each payout.
Lot Size Consistency Range Rule (HFT Passers Only)
Your average trade size calculated at the time of your payout review is used to calculate a trading range. The range is determined by adding 100% to your average trade size to determine the maximum value and subtracting 75% to determine the minimum value. If your average trade size was 20 Lots. This means that any trades that fall within the range of 5 to 40 lots would be considered consistent with your strategy.
Trades that are inconsistent with the trading range are subject to review/deduction from total profit split. The lot size consistency range calculation is determined by all closed orders on an account from the first trade into the requested withdrawal date. Your average trade is a final number which is calculated once a payout is requested.
To calculate your average, divide the total lot volume traded throughout the period by the total number of closed orders. After finding your average, simply multiply by 0.25 and 2.00 to find the bottom and top of your consistency range. Please note that partial orders will be treated as separate orders for the consistency calculation, as the metric is based on closed orders. The consistency calculation occurs during the time of your payout request. The consistency rule applies to the funded stage, only being applicable to traders who pass the challenge via HFT bots.
Lot Size Consistency Range Calculation:
Total Lot Volume Traded/Trades Executed: Lot Size Average
Lot Size Average x 0.25: Bottom Of Consistency Range
Lot Size Average x 2.00: Top Of Consistency Range
