The rules, in plain English.
Every rule that applies to MyFXPocket Two-Step, One-Step and Instant Funding accounts on the Match-Trader platform. No fine print, no surprises.
01Your account
One account per trader, per brand
1 AccountYou can hold one active account under MyFXPocket. Separate accounts under other prop firms are fine.
Letting someone else trade your account
Not AllowedYour account is yours. You can't share logins, hand it to a money manager, or run a signal service that trades on your behalf.
Up to $400K total funded capital
$400K CapNo limit on how many challenges you can buy. Once funded, the maximum capital allocated to you across all funded accounts is $400,000.
30 days with no trades = auto-closed
30-Day LimitLeave your account with zero trades for 30 straight calendar days and it's closed automatically — the program ends and fees aren't refunded. Place a trade before the 30 days are up to keep it live.
02Drawdown rules
Max daily loss is equity-based
Equity-BasedTwo-Step: 5% · One-Step: 3% · Instant Funding: 3%. Calculated on your starting equity each day — hit it and the account is closed.
Max overall loss is a fixed floor (challenge accounts)
FixedFor Two-Step (10%) and One-Step (6%), your max loss is calculated once from your initial balance and never changes. On a $100K Two-Step account, your floor is always $90K — regardless of profit.
Trailing until initial (Instant Funding)
TrailingYour max loss floor (5%) moves up as your equity grows, but stops once it reaches your starting balance. Once you're in profit, you can never be stopped out below where you started. Example: $100K Instant account — equity hits $103K, floor moves to $98K; equity hits $110K, floor moves to $105K; equity hits $200K, floor stops at $100K and never goes higher.
03Payouts & consistency
You keep 80% of every profit
80 / 20 SplitSame split across all plans. Upgradable to 90/10 with the Profit Split Increase add-on (+20% extra fee on the challenge).
How often you can request a payout
Every 5–7 DaysTwo-Step: every 5 days · One-Step: every 5 days · Instant Funding: every 7 days.
20% Consistency Rule (Instant Funding)
Instant OnlyNo single trading day can account for more than 20% of your total profits when you request a payout. Example: best day $5,000 on $20,000 total = 25% — too high. Keep trading until your total reaches $25,000 so your best day is exactly 20%. Consistency % = (Highest Single Day Profit ÷ Total Profit) × 100.
KYC at payout only
Payout OnlyNo KYC at registration or when you get funded. Identity verification happens when you request your first payout — passport or national ID card accepted globally.
04Trading behavior
Overnight holding
AllowedYou can hold positions overnight across sessions.
Weekend holding
Not AllowedNot allowed. All positions must be closed before the weekend.
Hedging across multiple accounts
ProhibitedProhibited. Opening opposite positions on related accounts — yours or anyone else's — including coordinated trading with other traders.
Wildly different sizing between challenge and funded
Red FlagTrade your funded account the same way you traded the challenge. Suddenly going from 0.1 lots to 10 lots is a red flag.
Earnings-gap or close-to-open exploits
ProhibitedHolding positions specifically into an earnings release (or similar) to grab the gap is treated as exploiting the simulated environment.
05News & events
News trading during the challenge
AllowedOn challenge and evaluation accounts, trade news freely — the news-window restriction applies to Funded Accounts only.
News window — Funded Accounts only
Restricted ±5 MinOn a Funded Account, no opening or executing trades within 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after major economic news (NFP, CPI, central bank announcements, etc.).
Holding existing positions through news
AllowedPositions opened before the 5-minute window and closed after it are fine. The rule only catches new orders placed inside that 10-minute window.
06Tech & tools
Your trading platform is Match-Trader
PlatformAll MyFXPocket accounts run on Match-Trader, provided by Match-Trade Technologies LLC — institutional-grade execution, deep liquidity and reliable uptime.
Off-the-shelf 'challenge pass' bots / EAs
ProhibitedAny bot, script, EA or third-party algorithm marketed as designed to pass prop firm challenges is prohibited. Same goes for high-frequency or mass-order strategies aimed at gaming the system.
Exploiting price errors or latency
ProhibitedIf you spot a wrong quote, a stale feed or a system glitch — knowingly trading off it is a violation.
VPN / proxy to bypass region restrictions
ProhibitedIf your country is on the restricted list, you can't use a VPN to get in. This is treated as fraud and forfeits any rewards.
Your own indicators & analysis tools
AllowedTradingView, custom Pine Script, your own spreadsheets — all fine. The restriction is on automation that places orders for you with intent to game the system, not on your decision-making tools.
07If you break the rules
The violating trades may be excluded
Trade ExcludedIf we determine a trade was a violation, that trade can be excluded from your results — it doesn't count toward your profit or against your drawdown.
Reward for the period can be denied
Reward DeniedFor a serious or repeated violation in a payout period, the reward for that period can be cancelled entirely.
Account termination, no refund
TerminationFor material breaches (bots designed to game the system, multi-account hedging, KYC fraud, etc.), the account is terminated. Challenge fees are not refunded and accrued unpaid rewards are forfeited.
Violations can affect all your accounts
All AccountsCoordinated activity across multiple accounts — yours or with other traders — can result in action against all of them.
