Rules
We have designed the trading rules for our accounts with the aim of encouraging consistent and profitable long-term trading.
Why do we have rules?
To maintain the integrity of our challenges, it’s essential that the rules are adhered to at all times in both the Challenge and the subsequent Hantec Trader accounts. As long as you comply with these rules, you’re free to use any strategy you believe will deliver the best results.
Hard Breach
A Hard Breach means that you violated either the Maximum Daily Loss or Maximum Total Loss rule. In the event you have a Hard Breach, you will fail the Challenge or have your Hantec Trader account closed.
Soft Breach
A Soft Breach is any rule which, if broken, would close the trade(s) that are in breach. However, your Challenge is not stopped. You can continue trying to reach your profit target.
Maximum Trading Period
The Express Challenge has no time limit.
Minimum Trading Days
There are no minimum trading days, you could pass on the first day you get your account!
Maximum Daily Loss
Maximum Daily Loss is 5% and is calculated based on the previous day’s end of day (00:00 server time) balance or equity (whichever is higher).
Example: If your prior day’s end of day equity was $50,000 you would Hard Breach the Maximum Daily Loss of 5% if your equity the next day fell to below $47,500
For accounts purchased before 1st February 2026, the daily loss is calculated based on end of previous day balance only.
Maximum Total Loss
The Maximum Total Loss is initially set at 6% of your account’s starting balance and will trail (balance high watermark – 6%) until you achieve 6% in profit. After this, the Maximum Total Loss level will lock in at the starting balance. This allows for more trading flexibility as you have proven yourself as a profitable trader and can now freely compound the account.
Example 1: Your starting balance is $100,000. Your Maximum Total Loss is set at 6% which is $94,000. You profit $3,000 and your balance is now $103,000, your Maximum Total Loss is now $97,000.
Example 2: Your starting balance is $100,000. Your Maximum Total Loss is set at 6% which is $94,000. You lose $2,000 to take your balance to $98,000. Your Maximum Total Loss is still at $94,000. You then go on to profit $5,000 making your new balance $103,000. Your Maximum Total Loss trails and is now $97,000.
Example 3: Your starting balance is $100,000. Your Maximum Total Loss is set at 6% which is $94,000. You profit $8,000 to take your balance to $108,000. Your Maximum Total Loss is now $100,000 and will remain locked at this level.
Hantec Trader Account: Once you request your first payout, the Maximum Total Loss will lock at your account’s starting balance. We therefore suggest you leave a buffer and do not withdraw the full amount in order to continue trading with sufficient drawdown.
Profit Target
This is the percentage of the account balance needed in profit to pass the Express Challenge. You will need to make a profit of 10%. Profit is calculated as the sum of all closed positions from your trading account. Additionally there must not be any remaining open positions.
Stop Losses
Using a stop loss is not mandatory.
We do advise the use of stop losses in order to manage risk. Please note stop losses can experience slippage, this occurs but is not limited to higher lot sizes where there is no matching order at that price point and therefore this will be executed at the closest price available with a matching order.
Expert Advisers (EA) & Robots
We allow the use of EAs when trading your account so long as they do not perform any of our restricted strategies: please review our Terms & Conditions for details of these strategies.
Hold Over Weekends
We have no restrictions on trader’s holding over the weekend.
Traders need to be aware of the risks associated with weekend holding. Markets may experience gaps over the weekend and typically liquidity is thin when markets open for the week causing spreads to be wider than usual. We advise you to manage risk more cautiously during these times.
Can I trade Crypto over the weekend?
Traders are welcome to trade cryptocurrencies over the weekend on both challenge and Hantec Trader Accounts.
Please note the following:
Platform maintenance can occur over the weekend, stay upto date via our Discord 'Trading Updates'.
Retakes
Sometimes mistakes can happen when trading. If you’ve taken a Challenge and failed for any reason, you’re entitled to a 10% discount when purchasing the same Challenge again.
Account Leverage
The following leverage will apply for our various asset classes: Currencies 50:1, Bullion 10:1, Indices 15:1, Commodities 15:1, Crypto 1:1
Platforms
You cannot change platforms once a Challenge has started.
Inactivity
If you do not place a trade at least once every 30 days on your account, we will consider this a Hard Breach and your account will be closed.
News Trading
There are no restrictions on trading during news in any of our Challenge accounts.
We advise caution during high impact news releases as there is increased volatility and slippage may occur. Slippage is when your order doesn’t fill at a specific price due to no matching order being available and therefore it is executed at the closest available price.
Prohibited Strategies
We allow our customers to use any strategy so long as they are not part of our restricted list, please see below for the main types of prohibited strategies. You can refer to section 7 of our Terms & Conditions for all prohibited strategies.
-collusion with others to manipulate prices or coordinate trading, including but not limited to, through the use of multiple IP addresses.
-scalping for quick profits from minor price changes. This is defined as trades held for less than 3 minutes in duration. Total scalped profits cannot exceed 30% of total profits.

-using automated algorithms for manipulative trading practices.
– unauthorised access or use of another customer’s account.
-arbitrage between the Customer’s Demo Account and any other account.

If a trader is deemed to breach any of the above rules, we reserve the right to take the appropriate action. This can be but not limited to being placed into the risk management group, reset of balance or closure of the account.
Hard Breach
A Hard Breach means that you violated either the Maximum Daily Loss, Maximum Total Loss rule, Inactivity or Maximum Open Risk rule. In the event you have a Hard Breach, your account will be closed.
Soft Breach
A Soft Breach is any rule which, if broken, would close the trade(s) that are in breach. However, you would continue to be able to trade in your Hantec Trader account.
Maximum Daily Loss
Maximum Daily Loss is 5% and is calculated based on the previous day’s end of day (00:00 server time) balance or equity (whichever is higher).
Example: If your prior day’s end of day equity was $50,000 you would Hard Breach the Maximum Daily Loss of 5% if your equity the next day fell to below $47,500

You then go on to profit $5,000 making your new balance $103,000. Your Maximum Total Loss trails and is now $97,000.
Example 3: Your starting balance is $100,000. Your Maximum Total Loss is set at 6% which is $94,000. You profit $8,000 to take your balance to $108,000. Your Maximum Total Loss is now $100,000 and will remain locked at this level.
Hantec Trader Account: Once you request your first payout, the Maximum Total Loss will lock at your account’s starting balance. We therefore suggest you leave a buffer and do not withdraw the full amount in order to continue trading with sufficient drawdown.
Maximum Open Risk
Your total open exposure — meaning the combined floating loss across one or multiple open positions — must not exceed 3% of your starting balance at any time.
If your floating (unrealised) loss goes beyond this level, it will result in a hard breach of your account.
Example:
If your starting balance is $50,000, your maximum allowable open loss is $1,500 (3%).
If you have two open trades with a combined floating loss of $1,800, you would be in violation, as your exposure has reached 3.6% of the starting balance.
Stop Losses
Using a stop loss is not mandatory.
We do advise the use of stop losses in order to manage risk. Please note stop losses can experience slippage, this occurs but is not limited to higher lot sizes where there is no matching order at that price point and therefore this will be executed at the closest price available with a matching order.

The following leverage will apply for our various asset classes: Currencies 50:1, Bullion 10:1, Indices 15:1, Commodities 15:1, Crypto 1:1
Platforms
You cannot change platforms once a Challenge has started. Therefore you also cannot change platforms for your Hantec Trader account.

If you have purchased the Weekly Payout add on, your first reward split is available 7 days after your first trade. Each subsequent reward split will be available 7 days from the first trade placed after your previous withdrawal has been completed. Without the add on, it is 14 days in both cases. The minimum amount for a reward is $20.
Please note: When you request a reward on your Account your Maximum Total Loss locks in at your starting balance.
Example 1: You start with $50,000. You achieve profits of $6,000. You request a reward which locks in your Maximum Total Loss of $50,000. You request $3,000. You now have $3,000 buffer before hitting your maximum total loss.balance.

Example 3: You start with $50,000. You achieve profits of $2,000. You request a reward which locks in your Maximum Total Loss at $50,000. If you request the full $2,000 this will cause your new account to breach by only losing $0.01.
The Maximum Total Loss lock is in place to encourage responsible and long term trading and we therefore suggest a sufficient buffer is left in the account following your first reward.
Hard Breach with Profit
If an account is breached, it will no longer qualify for rewards, regardless of any profits earned. The same outcome applies to accounts that are terminated or breach our Terms of Service, to ensure fair and consistent application of our rules.

Maximum Daily Loss is 6% and is calculated based on the previous day’s end of day (00:00 server time) balance or equity (whichever is higher).
Example: If your prior day’s end of day equity was $50,000 you would Hard Breach the Maximum Daily Loss of 6% if your equity the next day fell to below $47,000
For accounts purchased before 1st February 2026, the daily loss is calculated based on end of previous day balance only.
Maximum Total Loss
The Maximum Total Loss is initially set at 6% of your account’s starting balance and will trail (balance high watermark – 6%) until you achieve 6% in profit. After this, the Maximum Total Loss level will lock in at the starting balance. This allows for more trading flexibility as you have proven yourself as a profitable trader and can now freely compound the account.
Maximum Open Risk
Your total open exposure — meaning the combined floating loss across one or multiple open positions — must not exceed 3% of your starting balance at any time.
If your floating (unrealised) loss goes beyond this level, it will result in a hard breach of your account.
Example:
If your starting balance is $50,000, your maximum allowable open loss is $1,500 (3%).
If you have two open trades with a combined floating loss of $1,800, you would be in violation, as your exposure has reached 3.6% of the starting balance.

Hold Over Weekends
All trades must be closed on Friday by 23:45 GMT+3
Can I trade Crypto over the weekend?
Traders are welcome to trade cryptocurrencies over the weekend on both challenge and Hantec Trader Accounts.
Please note the following:
Platform maintenance can occur over the weekend, stay upto date via our Discord 'Trading Updates'.
Instant Funding accounts must continue to ensure all trades are closed prior to market close on Friday. Traders are then able to open new positions following the daily open on Saturday
Account Leverage
The following leverage will apply for our various asset classes: Currencies 50:1, Bullion 10:1, Indices 15:1, Commodities 15:1, Crypto 1:1
Platforms
You cannot change platforms once trading has taken place. If the account is untraded please reach out to our support team who will guide you through the process.
Inactivity
If you do not place a trade at least once every 30 days on your account, we will consider this a Hard Breach and your account will be closed.
Withdrawals
If you have purchased the Weekly Payout add on, your first reward split is available 7 days after your first trade. Each subsequent reward split will be available 7 days from the first trade placed after your previous withdrawal has been completed. Without the add on, it is 14 days in both cases. The minimum amount for a reward is $20.
Please note: When you request a reward on your Account your Maximum Total Loss locks in at your starting balance.
Example 1: You start with $50,000. You achieve profits of $6,000. You request a reward which locks in your Maximum Total Loss of $50,000. You request $3,000. You now have $3,000 buffer before hitting your maximum total loss.balance.
Example 2: You start with $50,000. You achieve profits of $10,000. You request a reward which locks in your Maximum Total Loss of $50,000. You request $4,000. You now have $6,000 buffer before hitting your maximum total loss.
Example 3: You start with $50,000. You achieve profits of $2,000. You request a reward which locks in your Maximum Total Loss at $50,000. If you request the full $2,000 this will cause your new account to breach by only losing $0.01.
The Maximum Total Loss lock is in place to encourage responsible and long term trading and we therefore suggest a sufficient buffer is left in the account following your first reward.
Hard Breach with Profit
If an account is breached, it will no longer qualify for rewards, regardless of any profits earned. The same outcome applies to accounts that are terminated or breach our Terms of Service, to ensure fair and consistent application of our rules.
News Trading
Trades cannot be opened or closed 3 minutes prior to or after high impact news events. These events are determined from the Forex Factory Calendar.
Stop losses
Using a stop loss is not mandatory.
We do advise the use of stop losses in order to manage risk. Please note stop losses can experience slippage, this occurs but is not limited to higher lot sizes where there is no matching order at that price point and therefore this will be executed at the closest price available with a matching order.
Prohibited Strategies
We allow our customers to use any strategy so long as they are not part of our restricted list, please see below for the main types of prohibited strategies. You can refer to section 7 of our Terms & Conditions for all prohibited strategies.
-collusion with others to manipulate prices or coordinate trading, including but not limited to, through the use of multiple IP addresses.
-scalping for quick profits from minor price changes. This is defined as trades held for less than 3 minutes in duration. Total scalped profits cannot exceed 30% of total profits.
– use of third party or marketed strategies to pass the Challenge.
-using automated algorithms for manipulative trading practices.
– unauthorised access or use of another customer’s account.
-arbitrage between the Customer’s Demo Account and any other account.
-trading under multiple accounts using different registration details.
-high-frequency trading
-reverse trading/group hedging
- Overleveraging, overexposure and one-sided bets is defined as using 85% or more margin across one asset or connected assets.
-hedging across multiple accounts. Hedging is allowed within each individual account but prohibited across separate accounts.
-Copy trading where there are multiple trades that replicate or closely align with another trader’s entry and exit positions.
If a trader is deemed to breach any of the above rules, we reserve the right to take the appropriate action. This can be but not limited to being placed into the risk management group, reset of balance or closure of the account.
Hard Breach
A Hard Breach means that you violated either the Maximum Daily Loss, Maximum Total Loss rule, Inactivity or Maximum Open Risk rule. In the event you have a Hard Breach, your account will be closed.
Soft Breach
A Soft Breach is any rule which, if broken, would close the trade(s) that are in breach. However, you would continue to be able to trade in your Hantec Trader account. Examples of this are news trading and holding over the weekend.
Maximum Daily Loss
Maximum Daily Loss is 3% and is calculated based on the previous day’s end of day (00:00 server time) balance or equity (whichever is higher).
Example: If your prior day’s end of day equity was $10,000 you would Hard Breach the Maximum Daily Loss of 3% if your equity the next day fell to below $9,700
Maximum Total Loss
The Maximum Total Loss is set at 5% of the accounts starting balance and trails your closed balance. Once you have achieved 5% profit in the account your Maximum Total Loss no longer trails and becomes locked at your starting balance.
Maximum Open Risk
Your total open exposure — meaning the combined floating loss across one or multiple open positions — must not exceed 1% of your starting balance at any time.
If your floating (unrealised) loss goes beyond this level, it will result in a hard breach of your account.
Example:
If your starting balance is $100,000, your maximum allowable open loss is $1,000 (1%).
If you have two open trades with a combined floating loss of $1,200, you would be in violation, as your exposure has reached 1.2% of the starting balance.
Minimum Profitable Days
Each payout cycle requires a minimum of 5 days with at least 0.5% profit generated.
Consistency
A consistency score of 20% or lower is required to be eligible for withdrawal.
The consistency score is calculated as:
(Best Trading Day's Profits / Total Profits) * 100.
Examples below are based on a $100,000 Instant Lite Account.
Example 1: You have reached $8,000 in profit and your best trading day's profit is $1,600. Your consistency score would be ($1,600 / $8,000) * 100 = 20%. Therefore you would be eligible for your withdrawal.
Example 2: You have reached the $8,000 in profit and your best trading day's profit is $2,000. Your consistency score would be ($2,000 / $8,000) * 100 = 25%. As your consistency score is above 20%, you would need to to bring the total profit in your account to $10,000 to be eligible for a withdrawal. $2,000 / 20% = $10,000
Buffer Rule
3% Buffer: The first 3% profit generated on the account cannot be requested as a reward.
This will act as a safety buffer to protect your account from hitting the 3% daily loss limit when requesting a reward.
Please Note: This will be included towards the consistency calculation.

Soft Breach
A Soft Breach is any rule which, if broken, would close the trade(s) that are in breach. However, your Challenge is not stopped. You can continue trying to reach your profit target.
Maximum Trading Period
The Express Challenge has no time limit.
Minimum Trading Days
There are no minimum trading days, you could pass on the first day you get your account!
Maximum Daily Loss
Maximum Daily Loss is 5% and is calculated based on the previous day’s end of day (00:00 server time) balance or equity (whichever is higher).

Example 2: Your starting balance is $100,000. Your Maximum Total Loss is set at 6% which is $94,000. You lose $2,000 to take your balance to $98,000. Your Maximum Total Loss is still at $94,000. You then go on to profit $5,000 making your new balance $103,000. Your Maximum Total Loss trails and is now $97,000.
Example 3: Your starting balance is $100,000. Your Maximum Total Loss is set at 6% which is $94,000. You profit $8,000 to take your balance to $108,000. Your Maximum Total Loss is now $100,000 and will remain locked at this level.
Hantec Trader Account: Once you request your first payout, the Maximum Total Loss will lock at your account’s starting balance. We therefore suggest you leave a buffer and do not withdraw the full amount in order to continue trading with sufficient drawdown.
Profit Target
This is the percentage of the account balance needed in profit to pass the Express Challenge. You will need to make a profit of 10%. Profit is calculated as the sum of all closed positions from your trading account. Additionally there must not be any remaining open positions.
Stop Losses
Using a stop loss is not mandatory.
We do advise the use of stop losses in order to manage risk. Please note stop losses can experience slippage, this occurs but is not limited to higher lot sizes where there is no matching order at that price point and therefore this will be executed at the closest price available with a matching order.

Hard Breach
A Hard Breach means that you violated either the Maximum Daily Loss, Maximum Total Loss rule, Inactivity or Maximum Open Risk rule. In the event you have a Hard Breach, your account will be closed.
Soft Breach
A Soft Breach is any rule which, if broken, would close the trade(s) that are in breach. However, you would continue to be able to trade in your Hantec Trader account.
Maximum Daily Loss
Maximum Daily Loss is 5% and is calculated based on the previous day’s end of day (00:00 server time) balance or equity (whichever is higher).
Example: If your prior day’s end of day equity was $50,000 you would Hard Breach the Maximum Daily Loss of 5% if your equity the next day fell to below $47,500
For accounts purchased before 1st February 2026, the daily loss is calculated based on end of previous day balance only.
Maximum Total Loss
Your account equity cannot decrease more than 10% of the initial account balance otherwise this is considered a Hard Breach. The Maximum Total Loss value is static and does not change as equity grows.
Minimum Profitable Days
Each payout cycle requires a minimum of 3 days with at least 0.5% profit generated.
Maximum Open Risk
Your total open exposure — meaning the combined floating loss across one or multiple open positions — must not exceed 3% of your starting balance at any time.
If your floating (unrealised) loss goes beyond this level, it will result in a hard breach of your account.
Example:
If your starting balance is $50,000, your maximum allowable open loss is $1,500 (3%).
If you have two open trades with a combined floating loss of $1,800, you would be in violation, as your exposure has reached 3.6% of the starting balance.
Expert Advisers (EA) & Robots
We allow the use of EAs when trading your account so long as they do not perform any of our restricted strategies: please review our Terms & Conditions for details of these strategies.
Hold Over Weekends
We have no restrictions on trader’s holding over the weekend.
Traders need to be aware of the risks associated with weekend holding. Markets may experience gaps over the weekend and typically liquidity is thin when markets open for the week causing spreads to be wider than usual. We advise you to manage risk more cautiously during these times.
Can I trade Crypto over the weekend?
Traders are welcome to trade cryptocurrencies over the weekend on both challenge and Hantec Trader Accounts.
Please note the following:
Platform maintenance can occur over the weekend, stay upto date via our Discord 'Trading Updates'.
Account Leverage
The following leverage will apply for our various asset classes: Currencies 50:1, Bullion 10:1, Indices 15:1, Commodities 15:1, Crypto 1:1
Platforms
You cannot change platforms once a Challenge has started. Therefore you also cannot change platforms for your Hantec Trader account.
Inactivity
If you do not place a trade at least once every 30 days on your account, we will consider this a Hard Breach and your account will be closed.
Withdrawals
If you have purchased the Weekly Payout add on, your first reward split is available 7 days after your first trade. Each subsequent reward split will be available 7 days from the first trade placed after your previous withdrawal has been completed. Without the add on, it is 14 days in both cases. The minimum amount for a reward is $20.
Please note: When you request a reward on your Account your Maximum Total Loss locks in at your starting balance.
Example 1: You start with $50,000. You achieve profits of $6,000. You request a reward which locks in your Maximum Total Loss of $50,000. You request $3,000. You now have $3,000 buffer before hitting your maximum total loss.balance.
Example 2: You start with $50,000. You achieve profits of $10,000. You request a reward which locks in your Maximum Total Loss of $50,000. You request $4,000. You now have $6,000 buffer before hitting your maximum total loss.
Example 3: You start with $50,000. You achieve profits of $2,000. You request a reward which locks in your Maximum Total Loss at $50,000. If you request the full $2,000 this will cause your new account to breach by only losing $0.01.
The Maximum Total Loss lock is in place to encourage responsible and long term trading and we therefore suggest a sufficient buffer is left in the account following your first reward.
Hard Breach with Profit
If an account is breached, it will no longer qualify for rewards, regardless of any profits earned. The same outcome applies to accounts that are terminated or breach our Terms of Service, to ensure fair and consistent application of our rules.
News Trading
Trades cannot be opened or closed 3 minutes prior to or after high impact news events. These events are determined from the Forex Factory Calendar.
Stop losses
Using a stop loss is not mandatory.
We do advise the use of stop losses in order to manage risk. Please note stop losses can experience slippage, this occurs but is not limited to higher lot sizes where there is no matching order at that price point and therefore this will be executed at the closest price available with a matching order.

Hard Breach
A Hard Breach means that you violated either the Maximum Daily Loss or Maximum Total Loss rule. In the event you have a Hard Breach, you will fail the Challenge or have your Hantec Trader account closed.
Soft Breach
A Soft Breach is any rule which, if broken, would close the trade(s) that are in breach. However, your Challenge is not stopped. You can continue trying to reach your profit target.
Maximum Trading Period
The EnhancedX Challenge has no time limits.
Minimum Trading Days
There are no Minimum Trading Days, you simply have to meet the profit target and consistency score requirements.
Maximum Daily Loss
Maximum Daily Loss is 4% and is calculated based on the previous day’s end of day (00:00 server time) balance or equity (whichever is higher).
Example: If your prior day’s end of day equity was $50,000 you would Hard Breach the Maximum Daily Loss of 4% if your equity the next day fell to below $48,000
Maximum Total Loss
Your account equity cannot decrease more than 8% of the initial account balance otherwise this is considered a Hard Breach. The Maximum Total Loss value is static and does not change as equity grows.
Profit Target
This is the percentage of the account balance needed in profit to pass this trading objective. For Stage 1, a profit of 8% is required to progress. For Stage 2, a profit of 4% is required. Profit is calculated as the sum of all closed positions from your trading account. Additionally there must not be any remaining open positions.
Consistency
The consistency requirement is 45% and is based on end of day (00:00 server time) equity.
The consistency score is calculated as follows:
(Best Trading Day's Profit / Total Profit) *100
This means that your best trading day's profit based on equity at the end of day must not exceed 45% of total profits.
Examples below are based on a $100,000 EnhancedX Challenge.
Example 1: You have reached the $8,000 profit target for Stage 1 and your best trading day's profit is $3,000. Your consistency score would be ($3,000 / $8,000) * 100 = 37.5%. Therefore you would pass Stage 1 and move onto Stage 2.
Example 2: You have reached the $8,000 profit target for Stage 1 and your best trading day's profit is $4,500. Your consistency score would be ($4,500 / $8,000) * 100 = 56.25%. As your consistency score is above 45%, you would need to to bring the total profit in your account to $10,000 to pass the challenge. $4,500 / 45% = $10,000.

Stop Losses
Using a stop loss is not mandatory.

Please note stop losses can experience slippage, this occurs but is not limited to higher lot sizes where there is no matching order at that price point and therefore this will be executed at the closest price available with a matching order.

Example 1: You have reached the $8,000 in profit and your best trading day's profit is $3,000. Your consistency score would be ($3,000 / $8,000) * 100 = 37.5%. Therefore you would be eligible for your withdrawal.
Example 2: You have reached the $8,000 in profit and your best trading day's profit is $4,500. Your consistency score would be ($4,500 / $8,000) * 100 = 56.25%. As your consistency score is above 45%, you would need to to bring the total profit in your account to $10,000 to be eligible for a withdrawal. $4,500 / 45% = $10,000.
