A Dubai firm on its own 'For Traders X' platform offering Fast (1-step), Classic (2-step), Strike (3-step) and Instant models across forex, crypto and futures. Weekend holding and a path to 90% are fine, but the trailing drawdown only locks after your first payout (withdrawals count as losses against it), a 40% single-trade margin cap applies, and the code of conduct terminates accounts for chargebacks or public criticism.
A flexible multi-asset firm with no time limits and a route to 90% — but the trailing drawdown that only locks after your first payout, the 40% margin cap and an aggressive anti-chargeback/anti-criticism clause are real catches.
Pros
Multiple models (Fast 1-step, Classic 2-step, Strike 3-step, Instant) across forex, crypto and futures
No time limit on most plans; weekend and overnight holding allowed
80% split rising to 90% (Instant scales +10% per payout); bi-weekly or on-demand payouts
Static-drawdown variants (Classic, Strike, Fast Static) for traders who dislike trailing
Watch out
Trailing DD only locks at the initial balance AFTER your first payout — and withdrawals count as losses against it
40% margin cap per single trade / same-instrument-direction; HFT banned below 5-second holds
Code of conduct terminates accounts for chargebacks, payment disputes or 'defamatory' public statements
Best for: Multi-asset and futures traders comfortable on a proprietary platform who want model variety — and who avoid chargebacks and respect the 40% margin and 5-minute news rules.
Bottom line: Versatile and lenient on holding, but the post-payout trailing-lock quirk and the anti-chargeback clause deserve attention before you commit.
Trailing on Fast, Instant and Instant PRO: trails the highest balance ever reached (balance, not equity), never exceeds the initial balance, and AFTER your first payout it locks at the initial balance. Static (balance-based) on Classic, Strike, Fast Static and all crypto accounts. Futures use a separate end-of-day trailing drawdown (intraday swings don't breach).
Gotcha: Until your first payout the trailing line keeps moving, and withdrawals count as losses against it — so you can breach right after taking a payout.
Roughly 3–4% of the initial balance on forex/indices/commodities (customizable at purchase), reset daily at 00:00 CE(S)T (22:00 UTC). At reset the system takes the higher of balance or equity, minus the fixed amount, and it includes open + closed positions. Futures and Instant Master PRO have NO daily drawdown.
Gotcha: Because it uses the higher of balance-or-equity at reset, a floating-profit day raises your floor — giving back unrealized gains can breach you.
Evaluation: you can't pass with trades on the same symbol + same direction exceeding 70% of the profit target, and no single-trade pass. Instant/Instant Master: best single day's profit must stay below 15% of total accumulated profit (Crypto Futures Master: 40%). Evaluation challenges have no best-day consistency score.
Gotcha: The 70% same-symbol concentration cap can silently block an otherwise-passing challenge; the 15% score applies only to Instant accounts.
You may hold positions through high-impact news, but you cannot open OR close within 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after a high-impact release. Crypto news trading is unrestricted.
Weekend and overnight holding are allowed on forex/indices/commodities; crypto weekend trading is permitted. Futures positions auto-close at session end.
EAs are allowed only as assistants to your manual decisions; fully automated bots/emulators/scripts that open, close or manage positions without continuous human input are prohibited. Copy trading is allowed only from your own For Traders account (as Master); copying from another person or external source is prohibited. HFT (trades faster than 5-second intervals) is banned.
Gotcha: Full automation is banned — EAs may only assist manual trading — and sub-5-second holds count as prohibited HFT.
Prohibited: all arbitrage (hedge/reverse/latency), HFT (<5s holds), grid trading, tick scalping, martingale/loss-recovery, one-sided betting, account rolling and overleveraging without a risk plan. Hedging is allowed within a single account only; cross-account hedging is prohibited. A 40% margin cap limits any single trade (or same-instrument/same-direction trades) to 40% of available margin.
Gotcha: The 40% margin rule caps how much of your buying power one trade can use — and grid trading is banned outright as market manipulation.
One-step: 3 profitable days per phase. Two-step: 6 per phase. Crypto: 3 per phase. Instant: 7. Instant Master PRO: none. A profitable day = end-of-day balance ≥0.5% higher than the prior day; you can't skip days even if the target is hit early.
Standard accounts: 30 consecutive days without meaningful activity is a breach. Instant Master and Futures Master: 7 consecutive days (at least one trade per 7-day cycle). Token 0.01-lot trades don't count as activity.
Gotcha: Instant/Futures Master accounts have a tight 7-day activity cycle, and the firm reserves the right to close accounts gaming the rule with tiny trades.
80% standard split, up to 90% (Instant rises 10% per payout to a 90% cap). Payouts every 14 days, with some account types on-demand; Instant needs 3% account growth to withdraw. $100 minimum in the wallet, paid via Rise Pay (bank/crypto/local) or crypto; KYC requires government ID + proof of address. Note: the code of conduct permanently terminates accounts for chargebacks/payment disputes, 'false or defamatory' public statements, or disclosing support correspondence.
Gotcha: Filing a chargeback or publicly criticizing the firm can permanently terminate your account under the code of conduct.
