Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss	Maximum Daily LossFunded7 applies different daily loss limits by challenge type: 4% for One-Phase, and 5% for Two-Phase, Two-Phase NEO, and Instant Funding. The daily loss is calculated from the day's starting equity and includes both closed trades and floating P/L. Breaching this limit results in account failure.	Maximum Daily LossDaily loss limits at Top One Trader are simple but strict: 1-Step and 2-Step accounts usually have a 4% daily loss cap, Instant Funding has a 3% daily loss limit and Instant Prime applies an even tighter 2.5% profile tied to the ESS metric.The daily limit is generally calculated on equity and includes both closed and floating losses; if equity falls beyond the allowed percentage in a single day, the account is considered in breach even if the loss is later recovered.
Max Total Loss	Maximum LossFunded7 applies different overall loss limits: 8% for One-Phase (static from initial balance), 10% for Two-Phase and Two-Phase NEO (static from initial balance), and 6% for Instant Funding (static). All drawdown calculations are balance-based and include floating P/L. Breaching this limit results in account failure.	Maximum Overall LossOverall loss caps depend on the program: 1-Step FLASH uses a 7% trailing max drawdown, 2-Step PRO uses an 8% static max loss from the starting balance, Instant Funding runs with a 6% trailing drawdown and Instant Prime typically keeps a 5–6% trailing max loss.For trailing accounts, the max loss tracks the highest equity until a payout is taken, at which point the level locks at the initial balance; breaching the max loss at any time results in losing the account.
Drawdown Type	Drawdown ModelFunded7 uses a static (balance-based) drawdown model across all challenge types. The maximum loss limit is fixed from the initial account balance and does not trail with equity. On funded accounts, a High Water Mark applies. Both closed trades and floating P/L are included in calculations.	Drawdown ModelTop One Trader combines static and trailing drawdown models. 2-Step PRO accounts use a simple static 8% max loss from starting balance, while 1-Step FLASH, Instant Funding and Instant Prime rely on trailing max drawdown that follows peak equity and then locks at the starting balance when a payout is requested (Lock Upon Payout rule).The EquityShield risk engine helps enforce these limits by monitoring symbol-level and overall open risk and automatically closing trades if thresholds are exceeded.
Payouts
Payout Frequency	Payout FrequencyFunded7 traders are eligible for payouts every 7 days from the last withdrawal or account creation date. First payout can be requested after 7 days of funded trading.Note: There is a maximum monthly payout cap of $10,000 per client. Two-Phase NEO accounts can scale this to $12,000 (1.2x) upon reaching the cap.	Payout Frequency1-Step and 2-Step challenge accounts pay out bi-weekly by default, with add-ons available for weekly or instant payouts after the first withdrawal. Instant Funding normally pays monthly, while Instant Prime offers bi-weekly payouts, again with minimum profit of 2% of the initial balance required to request a withdrawal.Profit splits typically start at 80–90% on challenge accounts, 60% on Instant Funding and 80% on Instant Prime, stepping up over successive payouts until they reach as high as 90–100% for long-term, consistent traders.

Trading Permissions
News Trading	News trading is allowed at Funded7. Traders can trade before, during, and after high-impact news releases for all challenge types and funded accounts. However, Funded7 advises trading news responsibly — excessive risk-taking around major releases that breaches daily or total loss limits will still result in account failure.	News trading rules depend on the program. Evaluations are typically more flexible, but on funded and instant accounts it is prohibited to open, modify or close positions within 5 minutes before or after designated high-impact news on the affected instrument. Instant Prime provides more flexibility when combined with relevant add-ons, but bracket-style and pure spike-catching news strategies are still not allowed.
Weekend Trades	Weekend holding is fully allowed at Funded7. Traders can hold positions over the weekend without restrictions for all challenge types and funded accounts. There are no requirements to close positions before market close.	Overnight and weekend holding is allowed on 1-Step FLASH and 2-Step PRO accounts subject to normal swap charges. Instant Funding accounts require a weekend add-on to hold trades over the close; without it, positions should be closed before markets shut to avoid soft or hard breaches.
Copy Trading	Copy trading is strictly prohibited at Funded7. This includes automated copy trading services, 'pass my challenge' schemes, signal services, copy-trade platforms, and any trading that results in identical entries across multiple accounts. Reverse copy trading is also banned.	Manual copy trading is allowed only between your own challenge accounts on supported platforms, and not on funded or instant funded accounts. Copying between different users, mirroring trades across large groups of accounts or hedging between accounts and firms is prohibited. Violations can lead to profit removal, account resets or termination.
EA Allowed	EAs are allowed at Funded7, provided the strategy is legitimate and does not exploit system mechanics. However, the following are prohibited: ready-made EAs that result in identical entries for all users, EAs that overload servers with excessive requests, and any automated trading that bypasses the purpose of skill evaluation.	Expert Advisors are allowed on 1-Step FLASH and 2-Step PRO evaluation accounts provided they are customised to the trader, fully disclosed and not commercial grid, martingale, latency or arbitrage systems. EAs are not permitted on funded and instant accounts, where trading is expected to be manual or semi-manual under the firm’s risk rules.
KYC & Restrictions
KYC Required	No	No
KYC Stage	Funded7 requires KYC verification before the first payout. Documents are submitted via email to support. Required documents typically include government-issued ID and proof of address. KYC is not required to purchase a challenge or start trading – only when requesting the first withdrawal.	Top One Trader applies standard KYC and AML checks. Traders must complete identity verification and, where required, provide proof of address or other documents before receiving funded accounts and before withdrawals are processed through Rise and other payment providers.
