This score is about getting paid, not about trading rules. It is never averaged into the Freedom Score: a firm can have the most generous rules on the board and still be the hardest place to get money out of.

Best thing about it. The split rises to 100% through the scaling plan

Worst thing about it. The trader pays to receive it — $30 deducted from every Rise payout (all payouts above $300); $5 to $12 deducted from every crypto payout, depending on the provider's charge.

Be aware

Of the 26 payout conditions FundedSquad publishes, these can cost you money or your account.

  • Can end the accountCopy trading and signals

    Copying your own accounts is allowed, but third-party copy services, account managers and signal providers are prohibited and can disqualify the account.

    Triggering this closes the account rather than delaying a payout.

Every condition · 26

  1. 1Minimum profitable trading days. No payout until a set number of days each closing at least 0.5% of the starting balance in profit: 5 on 2 Step Fast, 2 Step Squad, Instant Lite and Instant Pro; 4 on Instant Flex; 3 on 1 Step; 1 on 1 Step Pro. A day below 0.5% does not count. source

  2. 2Payout cycle. Every 14 days on 1 Step and 2 Step accounts unless a weekly or on-demand add-on was bought; every 5 days on Instant Pro. source

  3. 3Weekday requests only. A payout cannot be requested on a Saturday or Sunday. source

  4. 4Max floating risk 1.5% (evaluation funded accounts). If open positions together reach a 1.5% floating loss, the first time cuts the split to 40% and the second closes the account, even if the trades recover. source

  5. 5Max floating risk 1.5% (instant accounts). On Instant Lite and Instant Pro bought from 31 August 2026, a 1.5% floating loss across open positions closes the account at the first breach. source

  6. 61% floating loss rule (Instant Flex). A 1% floating loss across open positions closes them and cuts the split to 30%; a second trigger closes the account. source

  7. 7Daily payout cap 2% (1 Step Pro). Profit above 2% of the starting balance on a day is deleted, not carried to the next payout. source

  8. 84% maximum per payout (Instant Flex). Each on-demand payout on Instant Flex is capped at 4%; what happens to the excess is not stated. source

  9. 9News restricted window. Opening a trade (or having a pending order fill) within 4 minutes of high-impact news on an evaluation funded account, or 5 minutes on Instant Lite and Instant Pro, means the payout is rejected. Profit on a trade opened earlier but closed during the news is removed. On Instant Flex, a position open within 5 minutes of the news is a hard breach. source

  10. 102-minute minimum trade duration. Every trade on every program must be held at least 2 minutes; closing sooner is a rule violation unless the paid add-on (accounts up to $10,000, not Instant Flex) was bought. source

  11. 11Gold and forex lot size limits. Trading above the per-size lot caps (for example 2.5 lots of gold on a $100,000 evaluation funded account, 1.7 on a $100,000 instant account) is a rule violation. source

  12. 12Layering (3+ positions on one asset). Holding three or more positions at once on the same instrument is prohibited and can cost profits or the payout. source

  13. 1370% margin usage. Using more than 70% of available margin, in one trade or across all trades, counts as gambling whether or not it is profitable. source

  14. 14Martingale and grid recovery. Increasing size after a loss to recover it is prohibited and can forfeit profits and payouts. source

  15. 15Hedging. Opposite positions on the same asset are prohibited within one account, across the trader's own accounts, with other traders, or against another firm. source

  16. 16Third-party strategies and EAs. Off-the-shelf systems or EAs built to pass prop-firm evaluations are prohibited; the firm can demand an EA's source code. HFT and gold-arbitrage EAs are banned. source

  17. 17Copy trading and signals. Copying your own accounts is allowed, but third-party copy services, account managers and signal providers are prohibited and can disqualify the account. source

  18. 18VPN and VPS. Trading through a VPN or a VPS is not allowed and may be treated as a violation. source

  19. 19Risk review at payout. The risk team reviews the account when a payout is requested; a confirmed violation terminates the account and rejects the payout. source

  20. 20Payout address used on another account. If the wallet or payout address was ever used on another FundedSquad account, even a relative's, it is a violation decided automatically, with no appeal and no chance to change the address. source

  21. 21Name match and Rise invitation. The account name must match the payout account; payouts above $300 wait until the trader accepts a Rise invitation. source

  22. 2221-day inactivity. An account with no trade for 21 calendar days, counted from purchase, is breached, on evaluation and funded accounts alike. source

  23. 23Allocation limit $400k per account type. At most $400k of instant and $400k of evaluation-funded accounts may be traded at once; extra accounts must stay untraded apart from one trade per 21 days. source

  24. 24Chargebacks. A chargeback lets the firm suspend all accounts and profit-split payments and claw back payouts already made. source

  25. 25Retry account terms. A funded account reached through the free Retry pays 50%, every two weeks, only after 4% profit and 5 qualifying days, under 1.5% daily and 4% maximum loss. source

  26. 26No consistency rule (stated). The firm states it has no consistency rule; Instant Pro and Instant Flex cards list "Consistency Rule None". source
