Aggressive position scaling: Excessively adding to profitable trades or averaging down on losing trades beyond reasonable risk limits
Multiple positions on losing trades: Opening three or more positions on a losing trade

If we detect excessive risk-taking, we may impose restrictions, such as limiting the risk per trading idea to a maximum of 1% of the original account balance.
Consequences of failing to comply with risk limits: Failure to comply with these risk limits after receiving notification will result in immediate account suspension.

6. CHALLENGE PROGRAMS AND TRADING RULES
6.1. Trading period
There is at Core Funded no time limit for reaching the profit targetsYou can trade for as long as you want – completely without pressure or expiry date.
6.2. Profit target
The profit target is the amount you must reach to successfully complete the challenge and gain access to a funded account.
Overview of all models
Instant Funding
No profit target

INSTANT FUNDING
For Instant Funding there is no profit target – you can start trading immediately and make profits.
1-STEP CHALLENGE
For the 1-Step Challenge you must reach a profit target of 10% of the starting capital.
Example ($100,000 account):
Starting capital: $100.000
Profit target: $10,000 (10% of $100,000)
Target account balance: $110.000
After success: Funded Account without further profit targets
2-STEP CHALLENGE
In the 2-step Challenge you must reach two consecutive profit targets.
Phase 1: 10% profit target
10% profit required from the original account balance
All trading rules must be followed
After success: Proceed to Phase 2
Phase 2: 5% profit target
5% profit required from the original account balance
Account balance is reset to the original size
After success: Access to the Funded Account
Example ($100,000 account):
Phase 1:
Starting capital: $100.000
Profit target: $10.000 (10%)
Success at: $110,000 or more
Phase 2:
Starting capital: $100,000 (Reset)
Profit target: $5.000 (5%)
Success at: $105,000 or more
Important notes about the profit target
Calculation of the profit target The profit target is always calculated from the original account balance calculated:
What counts towards the profit?
✅ All realized profits from closed positions
❌ Unrealized profits from open positions do NOT count
❌ Swap fees and commissions are deducted
Timeframe
✅ Unlimited timeframe for all profit targets
✅ No pressure or expiration date
✅ Trade at your own pace
6.3. Maximum daily loss
The Maximum daily loss limits the loss you are allowed to incur in a single day. This rule protects you from excessive risk and promotes disciplined risk management.
Overview of all models
Instant Funding
3%
1-Step Challenge
3%
2-Step Challenge
5%
Calculation
At 00:00 UTC we take the higher value of balance or equity and subtract from it the fixed percentage of the original account balance.
INSTANT FUNDING & 1-STEP CHALLENGE (3%)
Example 1 ($100,000 account): If you have an open trade with $2,000 profit, your equity is $102,000. The equity must not fall below $99,000 ($102,000 - $3,000).
Example 2 ($100,000 account): If you have an open trade with -$2,000 loss, your equity is $98,000. Since the balance ($100,000) is higher, this is used for calculation. The equity must not fall below $97,000 ($100,000 - $3,000).
2-STEP CHALLENGE (5%)
Example ($100,000 account): Maximum daily loss: $5,000 (5%)
If you have equity of $103,000, the equity must not fall below $98,000 ($103,000 - $5,000).
important notes
The daily loss is reset daily at 00:00 UTC reset
Equity = Balance + open positions
If exceeded your account is immediately stopped
Unrealized losses from open trades are counted
6.4. Maximum overall loss (Drawdown)
The Maximum overall loss (Drawdown) is the maximum loss you are allowed to incur in total during the Challenge – regardless of time period.
Overview of all models
Instant Funding
5%
Daily-Reset Equity Drawdown
1-Step Challenge
6%
Daily-Reset Equity Drawdown
2-Step Challenge
8%
Static
Calculation
In Instant and 1-step Challenge the drawdown "follows" your gains upwards. In the 2-step Challenge it remains fixed.
Important: The drawdown includes all losses, fees and also open positions. If you breach the limit, your account will be stopped.
INSTANT FUNDING (5%)
Example 1 ($100,000 account): You start with drawdown at $95,000 ($100,000 minus $5,000). If you make $3,000 profit, your balance rises to $103,000. Your new drawdown is now $98,000 ($103,000 minus $5,000).
Example 2 (Drawdown fixation): Once you reach 5% profit from the starting capital, the drawdown is permanently "frozen" at your original account balance - it no longer follows upwards.
In addition a 1% safety buffer is added, so the final drawdown is $99,000 - it no longer follows upwards.
1-STEP CHALLENGE (6%)
Example 1 ($100,000 account, Daily-Reset system): You start with drawdown at $94,000 ($100,000 minus $6,000). If you make $3,000 profit, your balance rises to $103,000. Your new drawdown is now $97,000 ($103,000 minus $6,000).
Example 2 (Drawdown fixation): Once you reach 6% profit from the starting capital, the drawdown is permanently "frozen" at your original account balance - it no longer follows upwards.
In addition a 1% safety buffer is added, so the final drawdown is $99,000 - it no longer follows upwards.
2-STEP CHALLENGE (8%)
Example (Fixed drawdown at $100,000 account): No matter how much profit you make, your drawdown always remains at $92,000 ($100,000 minus $8,000). It never moves.
important notes
Unrealized losses from open positions are counted
If exceeded the account is immediately stopped
Daily-Reset System: Drawdown adjusts daily to the highest equity
Fixation: At 5%/6% profit drawdown is "frozen" + 1% safety buffer is added
6.5. Leverage
The Leverage determines how much capital you can move in relation to your position size.
At Core Funded the default leverage is 1:100. That means: For every $1 equity in the simulation you can move $100 in the market. For cryptocurrencies a reduced leverage of 1:5 applies, so with $1 equity you can move $5 in crypto positions.
6.6. Profit split
Core Funded offers a profit split of 80–90 %.
That means: From your profit you receive up to 90% as real payout. The remainder is used to cover costs and to maintain the model.
The exact amount depends on your account model, performance and the scaling level.
6.7. Inactivity rule
If within 30 days no trade is executed, the account will be automatically closed.
This applies to all accounts - Challenge and Funded Account.
6.8. News trading rule
During the Challenge: Yes, news trading is fully allowed.
After the Challenge (Funded Account): News trading is restricted.
Lockout times for Funded Accounts
You are not allowed to open or close trades 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the following events:
High-Impact News Events (red folders in the economic calendar)
FOMC speeches, statements and news events
What happens in case of violations?
Trades during lockout times do not lead to account suspension, but all profits from these trades are removed.
Why this rule?
News events can cause extreme volatility and unpredictable price movements. This rule protects both you and us from extraordinary market conditions that have nothing to do with trading skill.
Tip: Use an economic calendar to plan high-impact events in advance and time your trades accordingly.
6.9. Hedging, Martingale and trading without Stop Loss
Hedging: Yes, hedging is allowed on the same account.
Martingale: Yes, Martingale strategies are allowed.
Stop Loss: No, Stop Loss is not mandatory. You can trade without a Stop Loss.
6.10. Minimum trading days
The Minimum trading days promote consistency and responsible risk management. You must achieve at least 0.5% profit on a certain number of days.

How it works
You must on X days achieve at least 0.5% profit achieve
The days do not have to be consecutive be
Only realized profits (closed trades) count
Each day with 0.5%+ net profit counts as a "qualifying day"
INSTANT FUNDING (5 days)
Example:
Day 1: +0.6% ✅ (counts)
Day 2: +0.2% ❌ (does not count)
Day 3: -0.1% ❌ (does not count)
Day 4: +0.8% ✅ (counts)
Day 5: +0.5% ✅ (counts)
Day 6: +0.7% ✅ (counts)
Day 7: +0.9% ✅ (counts)
After Day 7 you have reached 5 qualifying days.
1-STEP & 2-STEP CHALLENGE (3 days)
Both in the Challenge and in the Funded Account you must achieve 3 qualifying days respectively.
Example Challenge phase:
Day 1: +0.7% ✅ (counts)
Day 2: +0.3% ❌ (does not count)
Day 3: +0.6% ✅ (counts)
Day 4: +0.5% ✅ (counts)
After Day 4 you have reached the 3 days for the Challenge.
Example Funded Account: After successful completion the count restarts. You again require 3 qualifying days with 0.5%+ profit each.
important notes
Minimum profit: 0.5% net profit per qualifying day
Not consecutive: Days can be distributed arbitrarily
Only realized profits: Open positions do not count
UTC time: Trading day runs from 00:00 to 23:59 UTC
6.11. Overnight & Weekend Trading
Overnight positions: Allowed - you can easily hold trades overnight.
Weekend positions: Allowed - holding trades over the weekend is also possible without restrictions.
Crypto trading: Available 24/7, including on weekends.

Copy Trading: Allowed - you can use copy trading between different accounts.
What is allowed in copy trading:

Important condition: Copy trading is only allowed between personal accounts that are legally tied to the same account holder.
Automated trading: Use technology to your advantage. Whether self-programmed EAs, proven automated systems or copy trading - both are possible.
Important note: Also with automated trading and copy trading all Challenge rules (daily loss, drawdown, consistency rule) apply to each account individually.
6.13. Consistency rule
The consistency rule ensures that no single profit day constitutes an excessive percentage of the total profit. This promotes consistent and disciplined trading across multiple trading days.

7. SIMULATED FUNDED ACCOUNT (CORE FUNDED TRADER)
7.1. Type of funding
7.1.1. The simulated funded account, despite live market data, does not hold real funds.
7.1.2. Payouts or profit shares are virtual payout claims that Core Funded pays out partially based on a separate agreement.
7.2. Profit Share
7.2.1. By default, the customer receives 80% of the net profits generated in the simulator. With corresponding add-ons, this share can increase up to 90%.
7.2.2. Each payout can comprise a maximum of 50% of the total profit. The maximum payout amount per request is $2,500 (accounts up to $100,000) or $5,000 (accounts over $100,000). The remaining profit will be available in the next payout period.
7.3. Swiss Guard System
Core Funded's Swiss Guard System sets clear limits on the risk a trader may take with a single trading idea. This rule was designed to promote responsible trading while protecting both the trader's account and our capital.
Where Swiss Guard applies
Swiss Guard applies exclusively to:
Funded Accounts (Instant Funding or after successful completion of a Challenge)
One-Step and Two-Step Challenges are not affected.
How Swiss Guard works
Swiss Guard continuously monitors your trading positions. If the unrealized loss of a trading idea reaches 2% of the account balance, all positions of that trading idea will be automatically closed and the losses realized.
Definition of a trading idea: A trading idea comprises one or more positions on the same market instrument in the same direction.
Example: If you have an account with $100,000 and your EUR/USD long positions together are $2,000 in the red, Swiss Guard will automatically close all EUR/USD long positions. Your other trades (e.g. GBP/USD short) remain unaffected. You can open new trades immediately thereafter.
This rule ensures that no single trading idea causes excessive damage to the account balance and supports consistent and disciplined risk management.
Consequences of repeated triggering
1st trigger: Profit Split is reduced to 50%
2nd trigger: Account is permanently closed
Why is there Swiss Guard?
This rule provides:
Clarity, structure and accountability in risk management
Effective control of risk to protect accounts from large losses
Sustainability and consistency in trading so that traders can be successful in the long term
By following these guidelines, traders ensure they operate within a stable and structured framework that supports their long-term performance.
7.4. Inactivity and Termination
7.4.1. If the account remains inactive for 30 days, it may be considered “breached” and closed.
7.4.2. In the event of violations of risk rules or prohibited practices, the profit-sharing right expires; Core Funded may close the account immediately.
8. PAYOUTS

We will use the same means of payment for this reimbursement that you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
Expiry of the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal expires for a contract for the supply of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium if we have begun performance of the contract after you have given your explicit consent that we may begin performance of the contract before the withdrawal period has expired and you have acknowledged that you will lose your right of withdrawal once the contract has been fully performed by us.

Service providers and authorities Core Funded may share your personal data with contracted service providers or authorized institutions to carry out compliance checks (e.g. KYC, anti-money laundering and fraud prevention, AML) or to fulfill legal obligations (e.g. forwarding data to supervisory or law enforcement authorities), provided there is a legal basis (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).
12.2.2. Data processing on our behalf If data processing is carried out on our behalf by external service providers (e.g. hosting, payment or KYC providers), Core Funded concludes data processing agreements (pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR) with these providers to ensure the protection of your data.

Upon termination of the contract or at your request, your data will be deleted or blocked as soon as it is no longer required for contract processing or mandatory retention.
To the extent legal provisions require further storage (e.g. under HGB, AO or AML laws), data will be blocked instead of deleted until the retention period expires.
12.4. Data subject rights
12.4.1. Access, rectification, deletion You may at any time request access to your stored personal data in accordance with applicable law (Art. 15 GDPR). You also have the right to rectify incorrect data (Art. 16 GDPR) and, under certain circumstances, the right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR).

Pursuant to Art. 18, 20 GDPR you may request restriction of processing or receive your data in a structured, common and machine-readable format.
You also have the right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR) if specific reasons exist.
12.4.3. Withdrawal of consent If the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
