Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss Maximum Daily LossCrypto Fund Trader calculates daily drawdown based on equity. For standard evaluations, the daily maximum loss is measured from the starting balance at 12:05 AM UTC. CFT lists the default daily limits as 5% on 2-phase evaluations and 4% on 1-phase evaluations.Add-ons may modify certain limits (for example, a 2-phase add-on that increases daily drawdown to 6%). Ascend also adds a specific news window risk constraint (see “News Trading”). 5 4–5
Max Total Loss Maximum Overall LossCFT’s standard evaluation structures use different overall loss models:2-Phase: maximum loss is typically fixed at 10% of initial balance.1-Phase: a 6% trailing drawdown applies (equity-based), and once the account exceeds +6% profit, the trailing line locks at the initial balance instead of continuing to trail upward.3-Phase (if selected): CFT states a 5% fixed maximum loss with a 5% daily max loss.Add-ons may increase max loss limits (e.g., a 2-phase add-on raising max loss to 12%). 10 6–11
Drawdown Type Drawdown ModelCrypto Fund Trader’s drawdown enforcement is primarily equity-based. The daily loss limit resets using the account’s starting balance at 12:05 AM UTC. For overall drawdown, CFT uses static/fixed overall loss on 2-phase challenges (e.g., 10% of initial) and a trailing model on 1-phase challenges (6% trailing that later locks at the initial balance after +6% gain).Accounts that breach max daily, max overall, or trailing drawdown are deactivated and the trader is notified by email. Drawdown ModelFunderPro uses a balance-based daily drawdown reset and a fixed maximum drawdown measured from the initial balance (no trailing drawdown). Daily drawdown is calculated from a daily snapshot (5:00 p.m. EST / day start 00:00 GMT+3 server time depending on page context). Fixed (daily 4–5 % and overall 6–11 % of starting balance)
Payouts
Payout Frequency Payout FrequencyIn the final-stage simulation, scholarship requests can be made after at least 15 trading days, or alternatively every 30 calendar days (if rules were not violated). Certain program variants (e.g., 3-phase rules) note a first request possible after 5 trading days, and an add-on may allow eligibility after 7 active trading days.For Instant accounts, CFT also supports a scale milestone: once the account reaches +10% profit, traders can request a “Withdrawal & Update” to both withdraw and double the account size. Payout FrequencyOne-Phase & Classic: bi-weekly payouts (every 14 days). Optional “First Reward in 7 Days” add-on allows first payout after 7 days instead of 14.Pro: selectable payout cadence at checkout: Daily payouts (60% split) or Weekly payouts (90% split), eligible once the account is at least 1% in profit vs initial balance. Payouts can be requested every 14 days in the funded stage (or weekly with an add‑on). Bi‑weekly and weekly cycles provide up to a 90 % profit split.

Trading Permissions
News Trading News trading is allowed on CFT evaluations according to its FAQ. For Ascend evaluations, CFT adds a news-window constraint: within 2 minutes before and after high-impact news or market opening, accounts must not open/add positions or raise maximum theoretical loss above 2% of initial balance. 14 News trading is allowed in both evaluation and funded stages. A high‑impact news window (5 minutes before and after the event) requires careful risk management; trades may be opened, modified or closed but abusing volatility may result in warnings or termination.
Weekend Trades Weekend/overnight holding is generally allowed (CFT states it accepts swing trading strategies and keeping trades open over the weekend). Market availability still follows instrument schedules: crypto trades 24/7 while forex is typically Monday–Friday and other CFDs follow their own market hours. Payout ProcessingFunderPro advertises an average reward issuing time of 8 hours (after approval). For challenge-fee credits (where applicable), fee credits are processed within 7 days of the first reward withdrawal. Overnight and weekend positions are allowed across all stages. Swap/rollover fees apply where relevant.
Copy Trading CFT does not present a simple “copy trading allowed” rule in its public FAQ. However, it explicitly restricts multi-account coordination through rules such as the reverse trading/hedging constraints, and it states that copy trading between Ascend accounts is prohibited (including coordinated or mirrored behaviour that cannot be attributed to chance). FunderPro allows copy trading under strict conditions designed to ensure that all trading activity originates from the trader’s own strategies. Copy trading is permitted only between accounts owned by the same individual (including the trader’s own accounts at other prop firms or retail brokers), while copying from third-party accounts is strictly prohibited and results in a hard breach. Coordinated trading between different traders, the use of rented or mass-distributed EAs, public signal mirroring, or any form of collusion is forbidden,... Copy trading is permitted only between your own OneFunded accounts. Coordinated copy trading with other traders or social copy services is prohibited.
EA Allowed Automation is partially supported: CFT lists categories of prohibited EA types (notably HFT, tick scalping, arbitrage and demo-environment exploitation). EAs that do not fall into these categories are not explicitly banned in the FAQ, but traders remain responsible for ensuring automation complies with all rules. FunderPro allows the use of Expert Advisors (EAs) and automated trading systems across supported platforms such as MT5, cTrader, and TradeLocker. However, traders are strictly required to own the strategy or source code behind any automation used. The use of third-party rented bots, closed “black box” systems, mass-distributed EAs, or automation sourced from public signal groups is prohibited, as FunderPro evaluates individual trading skill and decision-making rather than replicated strategies. Expert Advisors (EAs) and automated strategies are allowed, but traders must request approval via the support desk and provide details of the EA’s logic.
KYC & Restrictions
KYC Required No No No
KYC Stage KYC is required as part of the scholarship/withdrawal workflow. After a scholarship request is submitted in the dashboard, CFT states the trader receives a contract to sign and a KYC to complete before funds are sent. (Bybit evaluations may additionally be subject to Bybit’s own KYC rules, which are the trader’s responsibility.) FunderPro requires traders to complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process after passing the Challenge and before signing the funded trader agreement or receiving any payouts. Traders may participate in the Challenge phase without completing KYC; however, verification is mandatory to transition into a funded account. FunderPro advises traders to ensure they can successfully pass the KYC process before purchasing a Challenge to avoid future issues. Once documents are submitted, the verification process typically takes 24–48 hours to complete. KYC/AML verification is required after completing the evaluation and before receiving funded account credentials and payouts. Traders must submit proof of identity, proof of address and a selfie.
