Before you read on
This handbook summarises the current public GFN rules. Your checkout configuration, account dashboard and Terms & Conditions take priority where an account has specific options or add-ons. The rules applicable at the time of purchase are the rules that govern that account.

All accounts are simulated
GFN Evaluation and Funded Accounts are simulated or virtual accounts. Eligible performance on a simulated Funded Account can qualify for real monetary payouts subject to the applicable rules, profit split, KYC/compliance checks and Terms & Conditions.

No Evaluation phase
Instant Funding gives you a simulated Funded Account after successful purchase, account issuance and any required checks. You do not need to pass a 1 Step or 2 Step Evaluation first, and there is no Evaluation profit target.
3% Daily Loss Limit — hard breach
The Instant account has a tighter 3% Daily Loss Limit. Floating losses, realised losses and trading costs can all affect the available daily buffer. If the hard threshold is crossed, even briefly, a later recovery does not reverse the breach.
Example
On a $100,000 Instant account, 3% represents an initial $3,000 daily risk ceiling. Always use the live dashboard calculation for the exact breach level.
5% trailing Maximum Drawdown — hard breach
Instant Funding uses a 5% trailing/relative Maximum Drawdown. The drawdown level can move upward as the account reaches new performance highs. Account equity matters, so open positions can cause a breach before a trade is closed.
Example
On a $100,000 Instant account, the initial 5% drawdown level is $95,000. As the account makes new highs, the permitted floor can trail upward according to the account rules.
70% profit split
Eligible Instant Funding profits use a 70% trader profit split under the current published programme metrics. The amount available for payout remains subject to account eligibility, payout rules and remaining risk limits.
Payout timer
The first standard payout becomes eligible 14 calendar days after the first trade is placed on the Instant Funded Account. The clock does not start when the account is purchased. Subsequent standard payout opportunities occur every 14 calendar days while the account remains eligible.
News trading starts under Funded Account rules
Because Instant Funding starts at the Funded Account stage, Funded Account news restrictions apply from the beginning. Under the published rule, trades opened or closed within 3 minutes before or 3 minutes after a relevant red-label/high-impact news event may have profits removed, rather than automatically terminating the account.
2. 1 Step Challenge
One Evaluation phase, then a simulated Funded Account.
- Evaluation phases

10% virtual profit target
Reach the 10% Evaluation target without breaking the Daily Loss Limit, the Maximum Drawdown or any other applicable trading rule. Evaluation profits are simulated and cannot be withdrawn.
No minimum trading days or time limit
There are no minimum trading days and no deadline. If all objectives are legitimately completed in one day without a breach, the Evaluation can be completed in one day.
No consistency rule
The 1 Step programme does not require profits to be spread evenly across several days. Risk rules still apply at all times.
5% Daily Loss Limit — hard breach
The 5% daily limit includes the effect of floating positions, closed losses and trading costs. Use the reset time shown in the trading environment/dashboard rather than assuming local midnight.
8% standard / up to 10% Maximum Drawdown
The standard detailed 1 Step rule uses an 8% Maximum Drawdown, with an optional 10% drawdown where selected. The drawdown is relative/trailing during the Evaluation and follows new performance highs according to the account rules.
Standard 8% example
On a $100,000 account, the initial standard breach level is $92,000. If the high-water mark rises to $104,000, the trailing floor can rise to $96,000. Under the detailed rule, once the drawdown reaches the original starting balance it locks instead of continuing to trail indefinitely.
After passing
Once the Evaluation objectives are completed and any required KYC/compliance checks are satisfied, you become eligible for a simulated Funded Account. The 14-day payout timer starts only when the first trade is placed on that Funded Account.
Funded news rule
News trading is permitted during the Evaluation under the published detailed rule. Once funded, the Funded Account news restriction applies: profits from trades opened or closed inside the relevant ±3 minute high-impact news window may be removed.
3. 2 Step Challenge
Two Evaluation phases with fixed drawdown and a consistency rule.
- Evaluation phases
- 2
- Phase 1 target
- 8%
- Phase 2 target
- 5%
- Daily Loss Limit
- 5%
- Max Drawdown
- 8% fixed / non-trailing
- Minimum days
- 3
- Time limit
- None
- Consistency
- 35% max from one day
- Profit split
- Up to 90%
- Standard payout
- Every 14 days
Phase 1 — 8% target
Complete the 8% Phase 1 target while staying inside the 5% Daily Loss Limit, the 8% fixed Maximum Drawdown and the 35% consistency rule. Once confirmed as passed, the account progresses to Phase 2.
Phase 2 — 5% target
Phase 2 begins with its own objective. Profits from Phase 1 do not carry into Phase 2. Complete the 5% Phase 2 target while continuing to follow the applicable risk, trading-day and consistency requirements.
8% fixed / non-trailing Maximum Drawdown
Unlike the trailing drawdown used by Instant and the relative drawdown used in the 1 Step Evaluation, the 2 Step uses an 8% non-trailing drawdown. The breach floor does not keep moving upward simply because the account makes more profit.
Example
On a $100,000 2 Step account, an 8% fixed Maximum Drawdown means the overall breach floor starts at $92,000 and does not trail upward with new account highs.
3 minimum trading days
The current 2 Step programme requires a minimum of 3 trading days. Each Evaluation phase must satisfy the applicable trading-day requirement shown in the dashboard before progression.
35% consistency rule
No single trading day may account for more than 35% of total profit while the consistency metric is active. If your best day is too large, you normally need to generate additional profit on other days until the best-day percentage falls to 35% or below.
Consistency example
If your best day produced $4,000, total profit must reach at least about $11,429 for that day to represent 35% or less of total profit. The dashboard calculation is the official metric.
After Phase 2
After both phases are completed and any required KYC/compliance checks are satisfied, you become eligible for a simulated Funded Account. The payout timer starts from the first Funded Account trade, not from Evaluation trading.
4. Rules that apply across account types
Risk, payout and account-management rules every trader should understand.
Daily Loss Limit & Maximum Drawdown
- Open/floating losses count when account equity is monitored.
- Closed/realised losses count within the relevant daily calculation period.
- Commissions, spreads, slippage and other trading costs can reduce your available buffer.
- The Daily Loss Limit reset time is shown in the trading environment/dashboard. Do not assume it is midnight in your timezone.
- Daily loss and Maximum Drawdown are separate rules. A new trading day does not erase the effect of previous losses on overall drawdown.
- If a hard breach threshold is crossed for only a few seconds, the account can still be breached. A later market recovery does not undo it.
- Leave a safety buffer rather than trading directly against a hard limit.
Stop losses
Stop-loss requirements depend on the programme/account options attached to your account. Where a stop loss is compulsory, it must be used in accordance with the account rules. A mental stop does not count where an actual platform stop is required. A missing compulsory stop may trigger position closure or other corrective action.
Payout cycle
- First standard payout eligibility is 14 calendar days after the first trade on a Funded Account.
- Evaluation trades do not start or count toward the payout timer.
- Subsequent standard payout opportunities occur every 14 calendar days while the account remains eligible.
- You do not need to trade every day during the 14-day period.
- A 7-day payout period may be available where selected as an optional add-on.
- You are not forced to withdraw when a payout date arrives; eligible profits can remain in the account.
- A payout reduces the profit remaining in the account and can reduce the cushion above the applicable drawdown level.
- The account must remain eligible and compliant while a payout is being processed. A hard breach or serious Terms violation can cause a pending or future payout to be rejected.
KYC and payout ownership
- KYC/compliance verification may be required before a Funded Account is issued and/or before a payout is processed.
- The GFN account, identity verification and payout details must belong to the same individual.
- A legitimately breached Funded Account is not eligible for payout from that account.
5. Trading rules for all programmes
What you can trade, how you can trade it, and the restrictions that matter.
Markets and trading styles
- Forex, indices, commodities, metals and cryptocurrency instruments may be traded where available on the GFN platform.
- Day trading is allowed.
- Swing trading is allowed, subject to account rules and instrument trading hours.
- Normal legitimate scalping is allowed. There is no published universal minimum position-holding time.
- There is no single universal maximum lot size. Position size is constrained by leverage, margin, buying power and risk limits.
- Leverage can vary by instrument; published programme leverage is up to 1:50.
Trading hours, overnight and weekend holding
- Trading hours depend on the instrument and available market liquidity.
- Public holidays can cause late opens, early closes or market closures.
- Overnight holding is permitted where allowed by the specific account and underlying market.
- Weekend holding is permitted where allowed by the specific account type.
- Weekend gaps, spread changes, slippage and market closures remain the trader's risk and can still trigger a drawdown breach.
News trading
News trading rules can vary by account stage. The detailed published rule allows news trading during Evaluation stages. On simulated Funded Accounts, profits from trades opened or closed within 3 minutes before or 3 minutes after a relevant red-label/high-impact release may be removed. Instant Funding is already at the Funded Account stage, so the funded news rule applies from the start.
Hedging
Normal hedging within an individual account may be permitted where it represents genuine trading activity. Manipulative or coordinated hedging across accounts is prohibited, including deliberately taking opposite sides simply to guarantee one account succeeds at another account's expense.
Expert Advisors and automated trading
- Automated trading may be allowed if it represents legitimate trading behaviour and follows all GFN rules.
- An EA you created yourself may be used if it remains compliant.
- Third-party systems designed or marketed specifically to exploit or automatically pass prop-firm challenges may be prohibited.
- Mass-identical activity can be reviewed where it suggests copy trading, coordinated trading or unclear strategy ownership.
Copy trading
- Copying between accounts that you personally own may be permitted within applicable GFN rules.
- Copying another trader's trades, allowing another trader to manage your account, or coordinated group trading is prohibited.
- Third-party challenge-passing and account-management services are prohibited.
6. Prohibited trading and account security
Activity that can block progression, terminate accounts or invalidate payouts.
Prohibited behaviour
- Exploiting platform or technical errors.
- Knowingly exploiting stale, delayed or incorrect prices.
- Latency arbitrage or price-feed delay exploitation.
- Use of non-public or insider information.
- Front-running.
- Coordinated trading between customers.
- Account sharing, or multiple people trading one account.
- Third-party challenge-passing or account-management services.
- Manipulative hedging or opposite-position schemes across accounts.
- Deliberately exploiting market-close gaps.
- Strategies designed to compromise or exploit broker/liquidity relationships.
- Other unrealistic or abusive simulated trading behaviour.
Possible consequences
GFN may review trading, restrict access, reject Evaluation progression, reject payouts, terminate affected accounts or take other action allowed under the Terms & Conditions where prohibited behaviour is identified.
Account ownership
- The account must be traded by the registered account holder.
- GFN accounts may not be sold, transferred or rented to another person.
- Do not create duplicate identities or profiles to bypass account/allocation limits.
- Keep dashboard, trading and payout credentials private and secure.
- Fraud, account sharing and serious Terms violations can affect more than one account on your GFN profile.
VPN, VPS, IP and travel
- Normal use of home broadband, mobile data, office connections and travel networks is understandable.
- Significant or unusual location changes can trigger security checks.
- Avoid unnecessary VPN use where possible, especially during identity verification.
- A VPS may be used for legitimate trading technology where permitted.
- VPNs and VPSs must not be used to hide account sharing, circumvent location restrictions or disguise prohibited trading.
Inactivity and maximum allocation
- Accounts must remain active. The detailed GFN rules currently state that at least one qualifying trade should be placed within 30 days; always check the latest rule shown in your dashboard for your account.
- The maximum total allocation is $400,000 of simulated capital across all GFN accounts combined. Programme types may be mixed within that overall limit.
7. Breaches and the pre-session checklist
The simple version to check before you place a trade.
Hard breaches
A hard breach fails or terminates the affected account. The main hard breaches are exceeding the Daily Loss Limit, or reaching/exceeding the applicable Maximum Drawdown level.
Hard limits are absolute
If a hard limit is crossed, closing the position or recovering afterwards does not erase the breach. Spread widening, slippage, gaps or rapid market movement do not automatically excuse a genuine breach.
Soft breaches
A soft breach is a rule violation that may result in a trade being closed or other corrective action, without automatically terminating the full account. The exact treatment depends on the applicable account rule; a missing mandatory stop loss is a published example.
If there is a technical problem
Internet connectivity is normally the trader's responsibility. If you believe a genuine GFN/platform incident caused an issue, stop taking unnecessary risk, record the account number, trade IDs, time and screenshots, and contact Support. The dashboard remains the official source for account metrics unless GFN confirms an adjustment.
Before every trading session
Check the programme type and its Daily Loss Limit.
Check the live Maximum Drawdown level in the dashboard.
Know the daily reset time and instrument trading hours.
Check whether a stop loss is compulsory on your account.
If funded, check relevant high-impact news before opening or closing trades.
Leave room for spreads, commissions, slippage and gaps.
Do not share the account or use third-party account management.
Before requesting a payout, check the remaining drawdown buffer after withdrawal.
Which rule wins?
Your account-specific checkout terms and dashboard metrics take priority over old promotions, social posts or outdated screenshots. If a question could affect a breach or a payout, check the current GFN dashboard or this handbook, or contact Support, before taking unnecessary risk.
