Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss	Maximum Daily LossDaily loss limits are program-specific:QT PRIME: 4% daily drawdown fixed to the initial balance (does not change with profits).QT POWER: daily drawdown is based on End-of-Day (EOD) equity; 3% on legacy rulesets and 4% for accounts issued after 9 Apr 2025.QT INSTANT: 3% daily drawdown fixed to the initial account balance (does not change with profits).Breaching the daily limit is treated as a hard breach on funded stages.	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.	5
Max Total Loss	Maximum Overall LossOverall drawdown limits differ by plan:QT PRIME: 10% maximum drawdown (static, based on initial balance).QT POWER: 8% maximum loss limit (based on initial balance).QT INSTANT: 6% maximum drawdown that trails the highest recorded balance or floating equity (high-water mark). (Some operational details—such as whether trailing drawdown locks at starting balance after withdrawal—depend on the account’s issue date.)	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
Drawdown Type	Drawdown ModelQT Funded uses a mix of static and trailing drawdown models:Static drawdown: QT PRIME (10% max loss) and QT POWER (8% max loss) use static overall drawdown anchored to the initial balance.Trailing drawdown: QT INSTANT uses a 6% trailing maximum drawdown from the highest recorded balance/equity, paired with a fixed 3% daily drawdown.	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.	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). Max Drawdown is a fixed % of the initial balance (10% for One/Two/Stock; 5% for Bitcoin Maxi). Meme Coin uses a 6.5% trailing drawdown.

Trading Permissions
News Trading	Evaluation stage: news trading is allowed.Funded stage (QT PRIME & QT INSTANT): news trading is restricted around Forex Factory red-folder (high-impact) releases: no manual trading activity (opening/closing/modifying positions or orders) within 5 minutes before/after the event; SL/TP and qualifying limit orders set earlier may still trigger. Violations are treated as hard breaches. QT PRIME On-Demand does not have the news rule applied.	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.	News trading depends on the challenge: Two Phases allowed; One Phase, Stock Traders and Meme Coin not allowed within 10 minutes before/after high-impact releases.
Weekend Trades	Weekend holding is permitted across QT PRIME, QT POWER and QT INSTANT (trades can be held over the weekend), subject to general risk rules and market conditions.	Weekend holdings are permitted for all account types (positions may be held over the weekend, subject to underlying market hours and instrument availability).	Weekend trading: One Phase, Two Phase and Stock Traders not allowed; Meme Coin allowed.
Copy Trading	Copy trading rules depend on total allocation:Under $400,000 total allocation: traders may copy trades and use the same strategy across accounts.$400,000 and above: traders may still hold multiple accounts, but they may not copy trades or use the same strategy between accounts; each account must use a different strategy and trade different instruments for its entire history.QT INSTANT: additional max-allocation rule for same-strategy use (max $99,000); QT Instant allocation also counts toward the overall $400,000 cap.	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.	Copy trading from other traders is prohibited; copying from your own personal accounts into your Funded Prime account is permitted if registered under the same email address. (Copy trading is permitted in evaluation stage.)
EA Allowed	Expert Advisors (EAs) are permitted only with pre-approval. Traders must submit the EA name and links to [email protected] before use. Trade copiers are also permitted with approval, and copied executions must place visible SL/TP (no invisible trade management). Unapproved use can result in account forfeit and group trading with shared EAs is prohibited.	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 are allowed for Prime Traders and strictly prohibited for Stock Traders.

KYC Required	Yes	Yes	No
KYC Stage	KYC is required as part of onboarding and may be requested by the company’s AML/KYC providers. QT INSTANT specifically requires KYC verification and a signed contract before trading is enabled. Accounts may be treated as inactive/invalid if the latest KYC requirements are not completed.	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.
