Account and Payment Information Accuracy
You agree to provide and maintain accurate and up-to-date information for all purchases made through our platform. This includes your billing details, email address, and credit card information (including expiration dates), to ensure smooth transaction processing and necessary communications.

(a) Overall Loss Threshold
During both the Evaluation Period and the Funded Account Stage, your total losses must remain within a defined percentage of your starting balance. It is your responsibility to ensure that this limit is not breached at any point.

Overall Loss Limits by Challenge Type:
• 2-Step Challenge: 10% maximum drawdown
• 1-Step Challenge: 7% maximum drawdown
• 3-Step Challenge: 7% maximum drawdown
• Instant Funding Challenge: 6% maximum drawdown
• 1-Step Africa Challenge: 6% maximum drawdown

(b) Daily Loss Cap
You are also required to stay within a daily loss limit, calculated based on your balance at midnight (00:00) server time / GMT+2 (CEST). This amount resets every 24 hours, and the limit remains active from the start of one trading day to the next.

Daily Drawdown Limits by Challenge Type:
• 2-Step Challenge: 5% of the daily opening balance
• 1-Step Challenge: 4%
• 3-Step Challenge: 4%
• Instant Funding Challenge: 3%
• 1-Step Africa Challenge: 3%

It's your responsibility to ensure that your daily losses do not exceed these thresholds based on your balance at the start of each trading day.

(c) Required Profit Targets
To successfully complete the Evaluation Phase, you must hit specific profit benchmarks without violating any rules or limits. These targets are based on your initial account balance and the type of challenge you're participating in.

Profit Goals Per Challenge:
2-Step Challenge:
• Phase 1: Achieve 8% profit
• Phase 2: Achieve 5% profit

1-Step Challenge:
• Achieve 10% profit

3-Step Challenge:
• Phase 1: Reach 8% profit
• Phase 2: Reach 4% profit
• Phase 3: Reach 4% profit

Instant Funding Challenge:
• Reach 13% profit

1-Step Africa Challenge:
• Reach 6% profit

All profit targets are open-ended with no time limits to complete.

(d) Minimum Required Trading Days
Each phase of your challenge also requires a minimum of 4 active trading days to qualify for progression.

(e) Trading Restrictions in Simulated Environments
Clients are strictly required to avoid any trading activity that:
• Disrupts or contradicts the natural behavior of real financial markets;
• Conflicts with the current Terms and Conditions of FundingOptimal;
• Violates FundingOptimal's Trading Guidelines or its Responsible Trading Policy.

All trading must reflect ethical and compliant practices as outlined by the company.

(f) Failing the Evaluation Phase
If a Client does not meet the necessary conditions during the Evaluation Stage, the assessment will be classified as failed. In such situations:
• The trading account will be terminated,
• All related services will be discontinued,
• And no reimbursement of the fees paid will be granted.

(g) Breach During the Funded Phase
Failure to adhere to the required terms while in the Funded Phase will result in the account being marked as failed. As a result:
• Access to the Funded Account and all services will be revoked,
• The Client will not be eligible for any refund of fees previously paid.

(a) Account Activity Requirement
All trading accounts must remain active. If no trading activity occurs for more than 30 consecutive days, the account may be flagged for inactivity and subject to closure at the company's discretion.

(b) News and Weekend Trading Limitations
Weekend Rule:
Holding open positions over the weekend is not permitted under any challenge type. All trades must be closed before the market closes on Fridays.

News Event Rule:
Profits from trades executed during news-sensitive periods will be disqualified. Specifically:
• Trades opened within 5 minutes before a high-impact news release or speech, and trades closed within 5 minutes after such events, are not considered valid for profit assessment.
• This rule applies to all trade types, including manual entries, pending orders, stop losses, and take profits.
• During official speeches, the restriction window extends from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after the speech.
• Profits generated during these restricted periods may be removed, and in some cases, the system may automatically close trades that breach these guidelines.

News Sources:
The economic calendars from Forex Factory and Myfxbook are used to define scheduled events and speeches.

Responsibility for Breach:
If any trade, especially around news times, causes the account to violate the daily loss or maximum loss thresholds, the Client assumes full responsibility for the infraction.

Disclaimer:
These rules apply to funded accounts only.

(c) Sustainability Score Requirement
To ensure steady and consistent trading performance, a sustainability score must be met before advancing. This metric is in place to prevent a large portion of total profits from being earned in a single day. Traders may continue placing trades until the necessary score is reached. The exact sustainability threshold depends on the specific challenge model chosen.

(d) Forbidden Trading Methods and High-Risk Behavior
Certain trading tactics and behaviors are strictly forbidden during simulated trading. Violating these rules can result in the termination of your account, cancellation of profits, and ineligibility for further participation.

(i) Banned Strategies
The following trading actions are considered prohibited under all circumstances:
• Trading based on price gaps,
• High-frequency trading (HFT),
• Use of toxic order flow,
• Spamming orders to the server,
• Exploiting latency or delay-based arbitrage,
• Engaging in hedging strategies across different accounts,
• Attempting long vs. short arbitrage,
• Performing reverse arbitrage or tick-based scalping,
• Manipulating execution through server-side tactics,
• Executing trades to mirror or offset trades in other accounts (reverse account trading).

Also prohibited:
• Using copy trading services,
• Allowing third-party account management,
• Utilizing any unapproved third-party Expert Advisors (EAs).

⚠️ Use of such tools will be treated as a direct violation and will result in account breach, loss of all profits, and immediate account termination.

Responsible Trading Standards
Clients are expected to use sound trading judgment and maintain risk discipline. Any of the following may be considered a violation:
• Opening trades that are significantly larger than your normal trade size,
• Executing abnormally high or low numbers of trades,
• Placing trades solely to exploit scheduled news events.

FundingOptimal reserves the right to determine, at its own discretion, what constitutes abusive or prohibited trading practices.

User Confirmation
By participating in trading activities through FundingOptimal, you confirm that you have carefully read, fully understood, and agreed to follow these Terms and Conditions.

At FundingOptimal, we are dedicated to maintaining a trustworthy and secure trading space where responsible behavior is the foundation of long-term success. To strengthen this commitment, we've introduced an improved rewards structure alongside a clear Responsible Trading Policy that defines how we expect users to conduct themselves while trading on our simulated platform.

All trading activity should reflect realistic, thoughtful decisions—similar to how you would trade in actual live-market conditions. Every action taken on your simulated account should be backed by logic and awareness, as if you were risking your own money.

We ask our traders to approach simulated trading with the same seriousness, discipline, and professionalism they would apply to their personal portfolios. This includes responsible risk management and avoiding reckless or manipulative behavior.

Our purpose is to support real traders in achieving both personal development and financial success. By embracing responsible trading practices, you position yourself for consistent growth, better decision-making, and the confidence that comes with being in control of your financial journey.

This policy is meant to inform and guide you on what responsible trading looks like. It equips you with the knowledge needed to manage your account wisely, and it helps prevent careless habits that could hurt your progress. At FundingOptimal, we expect all traders to demonstrate accountability, maturity, and respect in all trading activities.

Responsibilities
When using FundingOptimal accounts for trading, it's essential to follow honest and proper trading methods. Avoid any toxic trading styles, news-based trades, or unprofessional conduct that could harm your long-term success or contradict responsible trading principles. All traders accessing our firm's resources and accounts must uphold the highest ethical standards. Specifically, you must not misuse or exploit these resources, which are entrusted to you in good faith. It is also important to avoid any attempts to manipulate the FundingOptimal evaluation system, which is designed to fairly measure your trading skills.

As a trader with FundingOptimal, you are expected to:

Exercise Caution in Trading:
Responsible trading requires patience and careful decision-making. Avoid making hasty trades or relying on news events as the basis for your trades. Please be aware that news trading is not allowed. Breaching this rule may have consequences on your account activity. Instead, base your trades on thorough analysis and keep a broad perspective of market conditions beyond just immediate news.

Implement Strong Risk Controls:
Do not overtrade or take on excessive leverage. Use sound risk management techniques, set realistic profit and stop-loss levels, and size your positions appropriately. Consider taking partial profits to protect yourself from sudden market reversals or consolidations. Taking on large positions or multiple trades at once often stems from emotional decisions, which can lead to bigger losses. FundingOptimal encourages a conservative approach, as even seasoned traders focus on minimizing risk to sustain steady gains over time.

Focus on Capital Preservation and Profit Protection:
Treat your FundingOptimal account like it's your own money. Protect your capital, especially in uncertain or volatile markets. Avoid risking too much of your profits and limit your risk on any trade to a small percentage of your account, typically not exceeding 1%.

Regularly Review and Improve:
Continuously analyze your trading history to learn from both your successes and mistakes. This helps you refine your strategy and adjust to evolving market environments. Periodically reassess your risk appetite, exposure, and trading goals to stay aligned with your objectives. This ongoing review keeps your trading disciplined, informed, and more resilient to losses. Stay current with market news, regulations, and risk management best practices to maintain a competitive edge.

Follow FundingOptimal's Rules:
All traders must follow the Responsible Trading Policy and other relevant guidelines issued by FundingOptimal. Non-compliance may lead to suspension or permanent loss of trading privileges. By adhering to these policies, you help build a professional, trustworthy trading community and ensure a positive, long-lasting relationship with FundingOptimal.

Best Practices for Trading
Trading success isn't about quick wins; it's about building a strong, lasting foundation for sustainable growth. Achieving this requires discipline, patience, consistency, and careful management of risk.

To promote responsible and effective trading, we suggest following these essential practices:

Create a Clear Trading Strategy and Set Practical Objectives:
To confidently manage the complexities of the financial markets, you need a clear, detailed trading strategy. This strategy should be based on a solid grasp of current market trends and an understanding of global events that might affect the markets. Given the unpredictable nature of world affairs today, it's vital to stay alert and adaptable. Set achievable goals that fit your account size and the current market conditions. Keeping yourself updated on global developments will help you better manage risks and improve your chances of successful trades.

Steer Clear of Gambling and Rash Decisions:
Treat trading as a professional activity that requires a strategic approach rather than a game of chance. Consider your demo or simulated accounts as if they were your real money—never gamble recklessly. Trading is a calculated discipline, not a gamble. Avoid impulsive "all-in" strategies and prohibited actions such as trading based on breaking news, which is not allowed on FundingOptimal accounts. Losses are inevitable, but don't let frustration drive you into "revenge trading." Stay composed, review your methods regularly, and keep in mind that successful trading is a long-term commitment.

Focus on a Select Few Assets and Master Them:
Consistent traders usually limit themselves to a few assets rather than attempting to trade everything. Deep familiarity with your chosen markets helps you understand their unique behavior and better anticipate price movements. While diversification is a risk management tool, over-diversification across correlated instruments can actually increase your exposure. Avoid jumping erratically between assets; instead, build expertise in a handful of markets to make smarter, more confident trades.

Keep Yourself Updated on Global Events:
Market movements are influenced by far more than just charts and technical indicators. Staying informed about economic developments, geopolitical events, technological innovations, and other global factors is crucial. This broader awareness helps you put market trends into context and adjust your strategy to evolving conditions. Being well-informed about the bigger picture is key to making sound decisions and staying competitive in the ever-changing financial landscape.

Take Regular Breaks
The importance of taking breaks while trading cannot be emphasized enough. When you're constantly exposed to market information and your emotions are running high, it becomes easy to make hasty decisions that could negatively impact your results. Overtrading and obsessively watching charts often lead to a destructive cycle of impulsive moves that undermine your success.

To prevent this, it's crucial to step away periodically to clear your mind and regain focus. Taking breaks isn't a sign of laziness or lack of interest—it's a smart, strategic choice. By pausing and distancing yourself from the screen, you give yourself time to review your trades thoughtfully, assess whether your plan is still effective, and realign with your objectives.

Successful trading demands strong mental resilience, self-control, and patience. Scheduling deliberate breaks will sharpen your concentration and decision-making when you return. If you feel fatigued or mentally unfocused, taking time off will help you come back refreshed and ready to trade more effectively.

Consequences for Not Following the Rules
Please take note of the possible outcomes if you fail to comply with our trading standards:

Account Suspension or Closure: If your trading is found to be irresponsible, your account could be temporarily suspended or permanently closed.

Account Restrictions: We may impose limits or restrictions on your account to ensure adherence to our policies.

Denial of rewards or Fees: To discourage harmful or unsustainable trading habits, reward requests or fees may be denied. However, FundingOptimal's main aim remains to avoid leaving any traders unpaid.

Policy Updates and Changes
FundingOptimal retains the right to update or change this Responsible Trading Policy at any time without prior notice.

Acceptance
By trading with FundingOptimal, you confirm that you have carefully read, fully understood, and agree to comply with the Responsible Trading Policy.
