Q: Are there specific consistency or percentage-based rules at Maven Trading?

3 Percent RuleMaven does not advertise a universal 3% per-trade rule. Risk is primarily controlled through program-level daily and overall drawdown limits. Instant and Maven Mini accounts additionally enforce a strict 1% maximum floating/open loss rule and require 3% minimum profit for payout eligibility. Consistency RulesConsistency requirements are most explicit on Instant and Maven Mini accounts, where withdrawals require a 20% consistency score (largest winning day/trade divided by total profit, kept at or below 20%) and a 3% minimum profit. Two-Step challenges also require 3 minimum profitable days (0.5%) per phase to progress. Maven’s funded-phase payout controls include an overflow cap ($10,000 per 30-day rolling cycle per trader) and a concentration limit when profits exceed $5,000 (best day or singular trade may not exceed 50% of payout-cycle profit). Other Risk RulesKey firm-wide controls include: 30-calendar-day inactivity limit (no executed trades) for account dormancy, restrictions against account sharing, and an IP-region consistency policy (travel may require proof). Maven prohibits cheating patterns such as latency/HFT/tick scalping, arbitrage, reverse/group hedging, “all-in”/gamifying behavior, and copy trading from other individuals.

Maven’s funded-phase payout controls include an overflow cap ($10,000 per 30-day rolling cycle per trader) and a concentration limit when profits exceed $5,000 (best day or singular trade may not exceed 50% of payout-cycle profit).

Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss	Maximum Daily LossMaven’s daily loss limits vary by program and are measured from the higher of balance or equity at 00:00 UTC (daily reset window). One-Step uses 3% daily drawdown, Two-Step uses 4%, and Three-Step uses 2%. Instant and Maven Mini accounts also use a 2% daily loss limit.	2	Maximum Daily LossFTMO applies a 5% Maximum Daily Loss. It is calculated from the account’s balance at midnight CE(S)T (platform time) each day and includes the running total of the day’s closed trades + floating P/L, including commissions and swaps. If the daily limit is exceeded at any time, the account fails.
Max Total Loss	Maximum Overall LossMaven’s overall loss rules depend on the account type: One-Step uses a 5% trailing max loss from the highest equity watermark; Two-Step uses an 8% static max loss from the initial balance; Three-Step uses a 3% static max loss from the initial balance. Instant and Maven Mini accounts use a 3% trailing max loss and also enforce a strict 1% maximum floating/open loss rule.	10	Maximum LossFTMO applies a 10% Maximum Loss (overall loss limit). This is a static cap measured against the account’s starting balance, and it is evaluated on equity (closed + floating results, including trading costs). Breaching it at any time results in account failure.
Drawdown Type	Drawdown ModelMaven combines several drawdown models depending on the program: static drawdown (fixed from initial balance) on Two-Step and Three-Step, trailing drawdown (moves with equity highs) on One-Step, Instant and Maven Mini, and daily drawdown calculated from the higher of balance/equity at 00:00 UTC.	Smart drawdown (Instant Funding) and static drawdown (evaluation accounts)	Drawdown ModelFTMO uses static loss limits: a daily loss limit that resets at midnight (platform time) and an overall loss limit based on the starting balance. Both limits include floating P/L and trading costs (commissions/swaps), so equity protection matters as much as closed P/L.
Payouts
Payout Frequency	Payout FrequencyFor One-Step, Two-Step, Three-Step and Instant accounts, Maven states withdrawals can be requested every 10 business days after your first trade. Maven Mini is a 24-hour program with payouts available on-demand within the 24-hour window (single payout; account closes after the first withdrawal).	Weekly or Bi-Weekly	Payout FrequencyFTMO rewards are processed on request. Once you have access to the FTMO Account, you can request your reward after a minimum of 14 calendar days from your first day of trading on the FTMO Account (biweekly request cadence).Minimum profit thresholds apply to cover transaction costs (e.g., $20 minimum for bank transfer, $50 minimum for crypto withdrawals).

After approval, payments are usually processed within an additional 1–2 business days, depending on the chosen payout method and banking/processor timelines.

Trading Permissions
News Trading	News trading restrictions apply to evaluation and funded accounts: traders cannot open or close trades within 2 minutes before or after red-folder news events (ForexFactory), and profits generated in that window may prevent passing. Maven states the news rule does not apply to Instant and Mini accounts.	Allowed during evaluation; funded accounts require add-on to trade major news events.	Evaluation (FTMO Challenge + Verification): news trading is allowed freely during all releases.FTMO Account (Normal): for specified high-impact announcements and targeted instruments, you must not open or close trades (including SL/TP triggers) in the 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after the release.FTMO Account Swing: news trading restrictions do not apply.
Weekend Trades	Weekend holdings are permitted for all account types (positions may be held over the weekend, subject to underlying market hours and instrument availability).	Overnight trades allowed; weekend holding requires add-on on funded accounts.	Evaluation (FTMO Challenge + Verification): holding trades over the weekend is allowed.FTMO Account (Normal): positions must be closed before the weekend market close (or if the market break/rollover is longer than 2 hours). Some cryptocurrencies may be tradable during specific weekend hours.FTMO Account Swing: no restrictions on holding positions over the weekend.
Copy Trading	Copy trading from another individual is prohibited; if detected, both users may be breached/terminated. Maven treats cross-user copying and related ‘gamifying’ patterns (including reversing accounts) as cheating behavior.	Allowed only between accounts owned by the same trader.	Trade copying tools can be used as long as your trading remains compliant with FTMO’s rules. FTMO’s services are for personal use only: you must not allow any third party to access or trade your accounts, and coordinated/manipulative trade patterns between connected accounts (e.g., opposite positions across accounts for manipulation) are forbidden.
EA Allowed	No. Maven states Expert Advisors (EAs) are not permitted across its platforms; automated trading use can prevent challenge passing and may lead to suspension/termination.	EAs allowed if non-abusive and non-latency based.	EAs are allowed as long as the strategy is legitimate, replicable in real markets, and does not fall into forbidden practices. Note that automated trading that overloads servers (e.g., excessive server requests) is prohibited, and widely used third-party EAs may risk breaching maximum capital allocation constraints if multiple users run the same strategy.
KYC & Restrictions
KYC Required	Yes	No	No
KYC Stage	KYC is required when requesting a payout and may include identity, address and source-of-funds verification. Maven’s FAQ states checkout/KYC details must match government ID, only one email per person is allowed, and the payment card used must be in the trader’s name; Maven references Veriff for supported-country document coverage.	KYC required before first payout.	FTMO requires identity verification before becoming an FTMO Trader and signing the FTMO Account Agreement. For individuals, this is KYC and typically requires a government-issued ID and proof of address. Businesses may require KYB documentation. Once the verification is complete, the FTMO Account Agreement is unlocked for signing in the Client Area.
