What are the main risk control rules enforced by Funded Firm during evaluations?

💡 Answer

No explicit 3% per‑trade rule. Risk management requires that no single trade or set of trades opened within 3 minutes exceeds 40% of the daily drawdown limit; multiple positions in the same direction on the same symbol count as one trade.


  • Minimum 3 trading days during each evaluation phase.
  • Unlimited time to pass the evaluation.
  • Accounts become inactive if there is no trading activity for 30 consecutive days.
  • Daily balance and equity snapshots reset at 10 pm UTC; trades opened within 3 minutes on the same symbol and direction count as a single trade for drawdown calculations.

  • No single trade should exceed 40% of the daily loss limit.
  • Hedging or holding opposite positions on the same instrument is not allowed.
  • The minimum lot size placed on an instrument becomes the base lot; subsequent trades on that instrument must not exceed five times this base size.
  • If the daily or overall drawdown limit is breached, the account is immediately terminated.

Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss 3–5 Maximum Daily LossHola Prime uses percentage-based daily loss limits that reset daily at 17:00 EST (server time) and are calculated from the previous day’s closing balance (with equity/balance breach checks intraday).1-Step Pro (Challenge + Hola Prime Account): 3% daily loss (previous day closing balance).2-Step Pro (Phase 1/2 + Hola Prime Account): 5% daily loss of the previous day’s closing balance (4% daily loss for $200k accounts).Direct Account (Hola Prime Account): 3% daily loss (previous day closing balance). 5
Max Total Loss 6–10 Maximum Overall LossOverall loss models vary by program:1-Step Pro: 6% maximum overall loss based on initial balance (static overall loss limit).2-Step Pro: 8% maximum overall loss based on initial balance (static overall loss limit) across phases and on the resulting Hola Prime Account.Direct Account: 5% trailing maximum drawdown from the initial balance, tracking the account’s high watermark until specific locking conditions are met; falling below the trailing line breaches the account. 10
Drawdown Type Fixed (daily 3–5% of starting equity; overall 6–10% of initial balance) Drawdown ModelHola Prime combines a dynamic daily loss limit (based on the previous day’s closing balance) with program-specific overall drawdown models.Pro models: Daily loss is dynamic by previous-day close; overall loss is typically a static percentage of initial balance (varies by 1-step vs 2-step).Direct Account: Uses a classic trailing drawdown mechanism (high-watermark tracking). This structure can force tighter profit protection as the trailing threshold rises with new equity highs. Drawdown ModelEquity-based drawdown. For One Phase / Two Phase / Stock Traders / Bitcoin Maxi: Max Daily Drawdown is a % of the previous day’s equity snapshot (5% for One/Two/Stock; 3% for Bitcoin Maxi).

Copy Trading Copy trading and mirroring strategies across accounts are prohibited. Copy trading is permitted only between accounts personally owned by the same trader.

Additionally, identically traded strategies across multiple funded accounts that exceed the firm’s maximum allocation thresholds can result in suspensions.

(Copy trading is permitted in evaluation stage.)
EA Allowed Expert Advisors (EAs) and automated trading tools are not allowed. Expert Advisors (EAs) and algorithmic trading are permitted in principle, but traders remain responsible for ensuring their automation does not trigger prohibited trading practices, group-trading flags, or allocation-limit breaches (e.g., multiple traders using the same third-party EA settings may be denied/terminated under the firm’s allocation and strategy duplication controls). EAs are allowed for Prime Traders and strictly prohibited for Stock Traders.
