3 Percent Rule

SFX Funded does not publish a "3% per trade" risk rule in the way some firms do. The number 3% appears at SFX in three different places, and conflating them is a common and expensive mistake:

• 3% daily loss limit — on Rapid, Instant Funding and Pass First Pay Later accounts (Ascend uses 4%).
• 3% profit target — the pass requirement on Rapid and on Pass First Pay Later.
• 3% minimum profit — the threshold that must be reached before a first Payout-on-Demand request is accepted.

Per-trade exposure is instead controlled by the maximum floating loss cap (2%, or 1% on the largest accounts and on 1-Step Pro) and by the over-leveraging rule, which treats any position that drives your margin level to 150% or below as a violation.

Consistency Rules — the SFX Stability Index (SSI)

SFX enforces consistency through a published, formula-based gate rather than a vague discretionary rule. The SFX Stability Index is calculated as:

SSI = (your largest single-day profit ÷ your total profit) × 100

A lower number means your profit is spread evenly across many days. You cannot withdraw until your SSI sits at or below your program's threshold:

• Rapid 1-Step: ≤15%
• Instant Funding: ≤15%
• 1-Step Pro: ≤20%
• Ignite 2-Step: ≤20%
• Ascend 2-Step: ≤25%

What this means in practice. A 15% cap is strict. To pass it your best day can be no more than one-seventh of everything you have made — so a single outsized winner does not get you paid, it delays you. If you exceed the threshold the payout is not refused permanently: SFX requires you to keep trading until the distribution flattens out. That is survivable but it means a trader who makes their entire target in one session is locked in until they add roughly six equivalent days of profit.

Minimum trading days stack on top, and SFX defines a trading day unusually: only a day on which you generate at least 0.5% profit on the starting balance counts. Losing days and break-even days do not count towards the requirement, though you may keep trading on them. Requirements run from 4 qualifying days (1-Step Pro) and 5 (Ascend, Pass First Pay Later) to 10 per payout (Rapid funded, Instant Funding).

A separate consistency-style requirement applies to location: the region of your IP address must stay consistent. Travel is allowed but must be reported to support in advance, or the risk team may demand proof of travel before releasing an account or a payout.

Other Risk Rules

• SFX Protect (automatic position closer): on funded accounts only, SFX monitors combined floating loss and automatically closes all open positions when it hits the maximum floating drawdown — 2% of starting balance as standard (1% on $300k/$400k and on 1-Step Pro). On a $100k account, −$2,000 of unrealised loss across your book triggers it. This is a soft breach on Ascend 2-Step (1st breach free, 2nd cuts your split to 50%, 3rd disqualifies) but on Rapid and Instant Funding a single breach disqualifies you. On 1-Step Pro the first breach costs 40% of your split, the second closes the account.
• Over-leveraging: defined as any exposure that pushes your margin level to 150% or lower. Penalties range from profit deduction to an account reset or a hard breach, at the risk team's discretion.
• Inactivity: accounts with no trading activity for 30 days are automatically suspended, across all account types.
• IP consistency: the region of your login IP must stay stable. Notify support before travelling; otherwise the risk team can request travel documents or a video verification.
• VPN/VPS: permitted, but subject to the same IP-region consistency checks.
• No account sharing: credentials may not be shared with any third party. Accounts must be in your own name and the KYC documents must match the signup details; multiple emails per trader are not allowed.
• No swap-free accounts. SFX explicitly does not offer Islamic/swap-free accounts, so swap charges apply to overnight positions on all instruments that carry them.
• Withdrawal caps for new traders: the first two payout requests are capped at $10,000 each; anything above that is deducted from the account balance. The cap is lifted permanently after two successful payouts.
• Escalating penalty ladder: rather than a single pass/fail, SFX's risk team can apply profit deduction, forced account reset, a cut of your profit split to 20–25%, or a leverage reduction to 1:10 before it resorts to a breach.
• Minimum lot size: 0.01 on FX, indices and commodities; 0.1 on crypto.
