Swiss Guard

The Swiss Guard system from Core Funded sets clear boundaries for 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 a successfully completed 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 are 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 are collectively $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 afterwards.

This rule ensures that no single trading idea causes excessive damage to the account balance and supports consistent and disciplined risk management.

Consequences for repeated triggers

  • 1st trigger: Profit split is reduced to 50%

  • 2nd trigger: Account is permanently closed

Why does Swiss Guard exist?

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.
