What is and isn't allowed

At WSFunded, we focus on preserving the integrity and fairness of our trading platform. As a reminder, WSFunded’s philosophy centers on helping traders hone their skills, turning them into consistent and successful operators by replicating real market conditions. In other words, part of our mission at WSFunded is to ensure that those who thrive on our platform also succeed in a genuine market environment.

With this objective in mind, we cannot tolerate risky trading approaches that could likely lead to substantial losses in real market situations. To support these goals, we will implement the following safe trading strategies:

Violations we will monitor:

Account Churning: Acquiring the maximum number of evaluation accounts and attempting to complete them continuously, sacrificing certain accounts as necessary.
Gambling/Betting Behavior: Engaging in trades that resemble a significant bet or gamble without a clear plan or strategy.
Trade Stacking: Opening consecutive large positions on a single instrument to bypass risk limits.
Group Hedging: Executing opposing positions on the platform as a risk-hedging strategy.
Overleveraging: Exceeding appropriate leverage levels for trading. On Funded accounts, the maximum lot exposure listed below applies to each account size.

To illustrate: with a maximum exposure of 35 lots for Forex on a 100K account, you have the flexibility to open a single trade of 35 lots or distribute that exposure across multiple trades, for example, three trades of 10 lots and one of 5 lots. However, you may not open trades that together exceed 35 lots per trading idea. For instance, two trades of 20 lots each would total 40 lots, which exceeds the permitted limit.

You are allowed to open new trades during the same day, as long as the 35-lot limit per trading idea is respected.

It is very important that you understand what a trading idea is in order to manage your trading correctly and avoid restrictions.

⚠️ If you exceed this limit, your account may be canceled.

Maximum lots

Account Size	Forex	Commodities & Metals	Indexs
$5k	3 lots	0.5 lots	5 lots
$10k	6 lots	1 lot	10 lots
$25k	10 lots	1.8 lots	20 lots
$50k	20 lots	4 lots	40 lots
$100k	35 lots	7 lots	70 lots

A trader cannot risk more than 50% of the daily drawdown on a single trading idea; for the risk team to accurately assess their risk, the SL (Stop Loss) must be added to the trade within a maximum of two minutes after the trade is opened. In other words:

If a client wants to make a purchase on XAUUSD, risking 3% with 30 lots, this constitutes a single trading idea. If these 30 lots are divided into 3 positions of 10 lots each, the risk per individual trade will be under 3%. However, for the trading idea as a whole, the risk will exceed 3%, so this practice will be considered gambling as it violates the 50% rule.

For Classic, Ultra and Rapid accounts:

A trader may not risk more than 50% of the daily drawdown on a trading idea. In order for the risk team to calculate the risk accurately, the SL (Stop Loss) must be added to the trade within a maximum of two minutes from the time the trade is opened. That is:

If a client wants to buy XAUUSD risking 3% with 30 lots, that is one trading idea. If those 30 lots are divided into 3 positions of 10 lots, the risk on each individual trade will be lower than 3%; however, the overall risk of the trading idea will exceed 3%, so we will consider this practice gambling for breaching the 50% rule.

For Instant Standard / Pro, Power & Flash accounts:

A trader may not risk more than 1% on a trading idea. In order for the risk team to calculate the risk accurately, the SL (Stop Loss) must be added to the trade within a maximum of two minutes from the time the trade is opened.

For Elite New accounts:

A trader may not risk more than 2.50% on a trading idea. In order for the risk team to calculate the risk accurately, the SL (Stop Loss) must be added to the trade within a maximum of two minutes from the time the trade is opened.

A trading idea refers to a set of trades that share a common logic or intention and are applied to the same financial asset. These trades may be opened simultaneously or within a few minutes of each other, provided they are aligned in the same direction (buy or sell) and are based on the same analysis or strategy used by the trader.

Several trades will be considered part of the same trading idea if:

•⁠ ⁠They are opened on the same asset,
•⁠ ⁠They have the same direction (buy or sell)
•⁠ ⁠They have been executed with a time interval of no more than 30 minutes between one another.
•⁠ ⁠Once 30 minutes have passed since the last trade was closed, new trades on the same asset and in the same direction will be considered part of a new trading idea, unless there is technical justification to the contrary.

Any trade at BE and TP will not count towards risk, meaning the trader may continue risking on the next trade without the previous trade adding to the risk.

The trading idea and the risk taken will always be measured based on the highest risk defined by the stop loss. This initial stop loss will be the first valid reference for calculating risk. If subsequent changes result in a higher-risk stop, the highest stop of the trade will be counted.

If, for example, a trade has a 2% stop loss and closes with X profit, if the client opens a new trade on the same asset and in the same direction before at least 30 minutes have passed, that trade will be considered part of the same trading idea, with the initial 2% stop loss remaining the reference for measuring risk.

In other words, a trading idea may consist of one or several positions opened on the same instrument, executed with the aim of capitalising on a specific market opportunity identified by the trader, whether through technical, fundamental or quantitative analysis.

Along with the credentials, you will receive the contract that you must sign for your account to be activated.

When are Funded accounts activated?

Simulated funded accounts (Funded) are automatically activated on Wednesdays and Sundays, throughout the day.

No additional action is required to request activation. The process is carried out automatically.

WSFUNDED provides immediate access to a funded account, allowing you to start trading without delay. To maximise this opportunity, it is crucial to have a flexible trading strategy and a solid risk management plan.

Instant Funding - Standard Model

WSFUNDED's Standard Instant Funding Model provides immediate access to a funded account with specific rules for managing your trading risks and profits.

Account Violations (Serious Breach)

All instant funding models have a progressive capital drawdown (trailing drawdown).

Serious breaches are serious violations of our established rules. A serious breach occurs when a trader exceeds the maximum daily loss or the total drawdown limit, resulting in the immediate closure of the account.

Maximum Daily Loss – 3%

How is it calculated?
The daily drawdown is calculated each day at 👉 17:00 New York (ET) – market close based on floating equity if there is an open trade, otherwise on the closed balance with which each day starts. Your equity must not decrease by more than 3% of your initial balance in a single trading day.

Example:
For a $50,000 account, the daily drawdown limit is $1,500. If your balance or equity falls below $48,500, you will have exceeded the daily loss limit.

Maximum Total Loss – 6% (Trailing)

On an instant account, the drawdown is trailing, which means that it follows the highest balance reached by the account.

As the trader generates profits, the drawdown limit also rises, “following” the capital.

If the balance falls and reaches that limit, the account breaches the rule.

👉 Key point:

The drawdown only moves upwards when new highs are reached; it never moves down, even if losses occur afterwards.

This type of drawdown requires constant risk management, as profits also raise the minimum level that the account must maintain.

AFTER WITHDRAWAL:

The breach line does not move down or become locked at any point after making a withdrawal.

If the trader wishes to continue trading after the withdrawal, they must leave sufficient buffer above the breach line to continue trading normally.

Otherwise, when opening a new position, any loss or commission that places the account below the breach line may cause an immediate account breach.

Example 1 (Instant Pro trailing 5%):

A $100,000 account makes a profit of $103,000 and withdraws those $3,000. Its breach line after the withdrawal would be $98,000, so the client would have a margin of $2,000 after the withdrawal.

Example 2 (Instant Pro trailing 5%):

A $100,000 account makes a profit of $105,000 and withdraws those $5,000. Its breach line after the withdrawal would be $100,000, so it would be left with $0 margin. When opening a trade after the withdrawal, the account would enter breach.

Example 3 (Instant Pro trailing 5%):

A $100,000 account makes a profit of $106,000, its breach line would remain at $101,000, but the client continues trading and loses $3,000 and their account balance remains at $103,000,

-> If the client withdraws those $3,000 of profit, their account would automatically enter breach after withdrawal approval because withdrawing the money would take it beyond the $101,000 breach line.

-> If the client withdraws only $2,000 of those $3,000 of profit and leaves $1,000 in the account, their account would enter breach as soon as they open a trade after their payment is approved because their balance would be exactly at their $101,000 breach line.

-> If the client withdraws only $1,500 of those $3,000 of profit and leaves $1,500 in the account, their account would remain active so they can continue trading it with a $500 buffer after their payment is approved, as the account would remain with a balance of $101,500 and its breach line would be $101,000 (a difference of $500).

Maximum Loss per Trading Idea Policy

You cannot risk more than 1% of your initial balance on a single trading idea.

Example:
If you have a $50,000 account, the maximum risk per trading idea is $500.

News Trading

On funded accounts, it is not permitted to execute new trades or close existing trades on instruments affected by red-folder macroeconomic events within an 8-minute window (4 minutes before the news and 4 minutes after the news).

This refers to the manual or automated execution of trades within a specific 8-minute window, starting four minutes before and ending four minutes after a major news event (see list of events).

Any profits made during this window may be deducted from your account. In rare cases, it may be necessary to reset the account.

This rule only affects instruments related to the event (for example, EUR news does not prevent you from trading XAU/USD).

In addition, this rule does not prevent you from opening a trade before the 8-minute window, holding it during the period and closing the trade after this window. The rule does not apply to phases one and two of all our challenges. This rule only applies to simulated funded accounts.

Red-folder macroeconomic events can be found using the following button:

The following table illustrates some of the events that restrict trading activities. To view all important announcements, please visit the link mentioned above.

Profit Distribution

Traders can request a withdrawal of their profits from their dashboard, with the first payout after 15 days and subsequent payouts every 10 days. There is no minimum withdrawal amount, as the minimum amount that can be withdrawn is related to the trader’s best day and consistency percentage.

Consistency

You must maintain a 30% consistency score in order to request a withdrawal from your instant funding account. This means that your best profit day cannot exceed 30% of your total profits.

Calculation example:
If your total profit is $3,500, the maximum profit allowed in a single day would be $1,050.

(Highest profit day / Current total account profit) × 100%

Example: $10,000 account size

Day	Profit ($)
Day 1	$518
Day 2	$497
Day 3	$508
Day 4	$459
Day 5	$492
Day 6	$520 (Biggest Winning Day)
Day 7	$506

Step 1: Add up all days (including losses) to obtain your Current total account profit.

Current total account profit:
$3,500 ($518 + $497 + $508 + $459 + $492 + $520 + $506)

Step 2: Calculate the maximum profit allowed in one day (30% of total profit).

Maximum profit allowed:
$3,500 × 0.30 = $1,050

Step 3: Calculate the consistency score:
(Highest profit day / Current total account profit) × 100%

Consistency score:
($520 / $3,500) × 100% = 14.86%

Since 14.86% is below the 30% threshold, you comply with the consistency rule. ✅

Minimum Requirement for Profitable Trading Days

At least 4 profitable trading days are required before requesting a withdrawal. For a day to be valid, it must generate at least 0.5% profit on the initial balance.

Mandatory Use of Stop-Loss (SL)

All trades must have an SL (Stop Loss) added no later than two minutes after the trade is opened.

Mandatory Use of Stop-Loss (SL) and Take-Profit (TP) During News Events

All trades during high-impact news events must include predefined SL and TP.

Instant Funding - Pro Model

WSFUNDED's Pro Instant Funding Model provides immediate access to a funded account with specific rules for managing your trading risks and profits.

Account Violations (Serious Breach)

All instant funding models have a progressive capital reduction (trailing drawdown).

Serious breaches are serious violations of our established rules. A serious breach occurs when a trader exceeds the maximum daily loss or total drawdown limit, resulting in the immediate closure of the account.

Maximum Daily Loss – 3%

How is it calculated?
The daily drawdown is calculated each day at 👉 17:00 New York (ET) – market close based on floating equity if there is an open trade, otherwise on the closed balance with which each day begins. Your equity must not decrease by more than 3% of your initial balance in a single trading day.

Example:
For a $50,000 account, the daily drawdown limit is $1,500. If your balance or equity falls below $48,500, you will have exceeded the daily loss limit.

Maximum Total Loss – 5% (Trailing)

On an instant account, the drawdown is trailing, which means that it follows the highest balance reached by the account.

As the trader generates profits, the drawdown limit also rises, “following” the capital.

If the balance falls and reaches that limit, the account breaches the rule.

👉 Key point:

The drawdown only moves upwards when new highs are reached, it never moves down, even if losses occur afterwards.

This type of drawdown requires constant risk management, as profits also raise the minimum level that the account must maintain.

AFTER WITHDRAWAL:

The breach line does not move down or become locked at any point after making a withdrawal.

If the trader wishes to continue trading after the withdrawal, they must leave sufficient buffer above the breach line to continue trading normally.

Otherwise, when opening a new position, any loss or commission that places the account below the breach line may cause an immediate account breach.

Example 1 (Instant Pro trailing 5%):

A $100,000 account makes a profit up to $103,000 and withdraws those $3,000, its breach line after the withdrawal would be $98,000, so the client would have a margin of $2,000 after the withdrawal.

Example 2 (Instant Pro trailing 5%):

A $100,000 account makes a profit up to $105,000 and withdraws those $5,000, its breach line after the withdrawal would be $100,000, so it would be left with $0 margin. When opening a trade after the withdrawal, the account would enter breach.

Example 3 (Instant Pro trailing 5%):

A $100,000 account makes a profit up to $106,000, its breach line would remain at $101,000, but the client continues trading and loses $3,000 and their account balance remains at $103,000,

Maximum Loss per Trading Idea Policy

You cannot risk more than 1% of your initial balance on a single trading idea.

Example:
If you have a $50,000 account, the maximum risk per trading idea is $500.

News Trading

This refers to the manual or automated execution of trades within a specific 8-minute window, starting four minutes before and ending four minutes after a major news event (see list of events).

Any profits made during this window may be deducted from your account. In rare cases, it may be necessary to reset the account.

This rule only affects instruments related to the event (for example, EUR news does not prevent you from trading XAU/USD).

Red-folder macroeconomic events can be found using the following button:

The following table illustrates some of the events that restrict trading activities. To view all important announcements, please visit the link mentioned above.

Profit Distribution

Consistency

You must maintain a 15% consistency score in order to request a reward from your Instant Pro account. This means that your best profit day cannot exceed 15% of your total profits. You can continue trading until you reach the 15% consistency score.

Consistency score formula:
(Highest profit day / Current total account profit) × 100%

Example: $10,000 account size

Day	Profit ($)
Day 1	$518
Day 2	$497
Day 3	$508
Day 4	$459
Day 5	$492
Day 6	$520 (Biggest Winning Day)
Day 7	$506

Step 1: Add up all days (including losses) to obtain your Current Total Account Profit.

Current Total Account Profit:
$3,500 ($518 + $497 + $508 + $459 + $492 + $520 + $506)

Step 2: Calculate the Maximum Profit Allowed in a single day (15% of the total profit).

Maximum Profit Allowed:
$3,500 × 0.15 = $525

Step 3: Calculate the Consistency Score:
(Highest profit day / Current Total Account Profit) × 100%

Consistency Score:
($520 / $3,500) × 100% = 14.86%

Since 14.86% is below the 15% limit, you successfully comply with the consistency rule. ✅

Minimum Requirement for Profitable Trading Days

At least 4 profitable trading days are required before requesting a withdrawal. For a day to be valid, it must generate at least 0.5% profit on the initial balance.

Mandatory Use of Stop-Loss (SL) and Take-Profit (TP)

All trades during high-impact news events must include predefined SL and TP.
