Does OneFunded prohibit certain trading strategies, permit martingale systems, or impose lot size limits?

💡 Answer

Martingale Allowed?

No

Prohibited Strategies

Prohibited activities include hedging across accounts, data freezing, latency or reverse arbitrage, tick scalping, gap exploitation, using delayed data feeds, multi‑account strategies, excessive lot jumps, and other manipulative or abusive tactics.


Lot Size Limits:

No fixed lot‑size caps are published; however, traders must maintain position sizing consistency – risk per trade idea must not exceed 2 % of the starting balance and individual trades may not generate more than 30 % of the profit target. Sudden large increases in lot size can trigger review or termination.

Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss 4–5 Maximum Daily LossDaily loss rules depend on program type. RAPID uses a 4% daily drawdown; CLASSIC and ULTRA use a 5% daily drawdown. Instant Standard and Instant Pro apply a 3% maximum daily drawdown calculated daily (balance/equity check) and reset on the platform’s daily schedule. Crypto programs use a 3% Daily Cap mechanism that can close positions and lock the account for the day if price movement exceeds the cap from the prior day’s equity reference. 5
Max Total Loss 6–11 Maximum Overall LossWSFunded’s overall loss limits vary by product: RAPID has a 6% maximum drawdown; CLASSIC uses an 8% maximum drawdown; ULTRA uses a 10% maximum drawdown (static models). Instant Standard uses a 6% trailing maximum drawdown, while Instant Pro uses a 5% trailing maximum drawdown. Crypto programs publish static maximum drawdown limits (e.g., 6% on One Step Crypto and 9% on Two Steps Crypto). 10
Drawdown Type Fixed (daily 4–5 % and overall 6–11 % of starting balance) Drawdown ModelRAPID/CLASSIC/ULTRA are built on static drawdown rules. Instant Standard and Instant Pro use trailing drawdown that follows equity highs; after an approved withdrawal, the trailing drawdown is described as locking at the starting balance and does not reset upward due to withdrawals. Crypto programs apply static max drawdown plus a separate daily cap mechanism. Stellar 1-Step / 2-Step / Lite: Daily Loss and Maximum Loss are calculated from the initial balance of the phase and include closed + floating PnL (plus commissions/fees). The daily limit resets at 00:00 (server time GMT+2). The maximum loss threshold is fixed as a percentage of the initial balance, while the “maximum permitted loss” displayed can expand or shrink with accumulated profit/loss within a trading cycle.Stellar Instant: Uses a 6% trailing maximum loss limit that ratchets upward with profits; it does not reset after withdrawals.
Payouts
Payout Frequency 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. Payout FrequencyWSFunded payout timing depends on the program. Commonly, the first withdrawal is allowed after an initial waiting period (e.g., 15 days on CLASSIC/ULTRA and Instant models, and 30 days on RAPID), with recurring withdrawals generally available every 10 days thereafter (from account activation / after the first eligibility window), subject to program rules and minimum requirements.Minimum payout: The published minimum payout threshold is $100, and Instant models also specify the minimum withdrawal as the greater of $100 or 1% of the account’s starting balance. Payout Frequency (Performance Rewards)Payout timing depends on the account model:Stellar 1-Step FundedNext Account: rewards are requested on a 5 business day cycle (first and subsequent cycles).Stellar 2-Step & Stellar Lite FundedNext Accounts: first reward is available after an initial 21-day cycle, then bi-weekly (every 14 days) thereafter if eligibility is met; a “Bi-Weekly Reward” add-on can bypass the initial 21-day wait.Stellar Instant: first reward is available after 5 business days, then rewards can be requested on-demand, subject to eligibility and trailing drawdown buffer rules.

Trading Permissions
News Trading 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. News trading is allowed during evaluation phases. In funded simulated accounts (including Instant), WSFunded restricts opening new trades and closing existing trades on instruments affected by red-folder macroeconomic events within an 8-minute window (4 minutes before and 4 minutes after); profits obtained during restricted windows may be deducted. News trading is generally allowed across FundedNext CFD models, but FundedNext applies ‘restricted news time’ rules on funded accounts: if trades are executed during restricted high-impact, instrument-correlated news windows, a portion of the profit can be removed during cycle review (commonly referenced as a 40% deduction on affected profits). Stellar Instant has a distinct news-time profit treatment where FundedNext may retain a larger share of profits generated during designated news time.
Weekend Trades Overnight and weekend positions are allowed across all stages. Swap/rollover fees apply where relevant. Weekend trading depends on the market/instrument session. Crypto programs follow crypto venue hours (generally 24/7), while CFD markets follow their normal weekly trading sessions and may be affected by weekend closures and gap risk. Overnight and weekend holding is allowed across all active CFD account types (Stellar Instant, Stellar 1-Step, Stellar 2-Step, Stellar Lite). Swap charges (unless swap-free) can impact floating PnL and therefore drawdown calculations.
Copy Trading Copy trading is permitted only between your own OneFunded accounts. Coordinated copy trading with other traders or social copy services is prohibited. Copy trading is heavily restricted. Manual copying between a trader’s own evaluation accounts is permitted only during the evaluation phase and only when account balances differ. Copying between funded accounts (or between funded and challenge accounts), copying between same-balance accounts, or using external copying tools is prohibited. Copy trading is allowed only between your own FundedNext Challenge accounts (one ‘master’ and one or more ‘slave’ accounts) as long as total combined Challenge capital does not exceed $300,000. Copy trading is prohibited between any FundedNext Account and any other FundedNext Account or Challenge account (even if you own them). Cloud-based copy services are not allowed; VPS-based copiers are permitted only for copying between your own Challenge accounts.
EA Allowed 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. EAs/cBots and indicators are allowed on evaluation programs as long as they follow permitted strategies. EAs/cBots are not allowed on Instant plans (Standard/Pro). EAs/automation are supported on MT4/MT5 (and platform-native automation where applicable). Match-Trader is positioned for manual trading and does not support MetaTrader-style EAs. Any automation must still comply with FundedNext’s prohibited strategy and fair-use rules.
KYC & Restrictions
KYC Required No Yes Yes
KYC Stage 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. KYC/identity verification may be required as part of payout/compliance checks (especially when using third-party payout rails such as Rise). Traders should be prepared to provide standard verification documents if requested. KYC (identity verification) is required after passing a Stellar Challenge and before a FundedNext Account is issued. Traders upload government-issued ID (and in some cases proof of address) via the dashboard Verification Center; once approved, FundedNext typically issues the FundedNext Account within 48–72 hours. KYC must be completed within 30 days after passing, otherwise the account can become inactive.
