Trading rules

Transparent by design.

We keep our rules simple and equity-based. No hidden restrictions, no silent rule changes — just a measurable edge and clear risk boundaries within a structured evaluation.

The six rules that matter

RULE 1

Daily Drawdown

Calculated based on equity at 00:00 UTC. Breach if your equity at any time of the day falls below the calculated limit.

RULE 2

Max Drawdown

Overall loss allowed on the account, measured as a percentage of your initial balance.

RULE 3

Minimum Trading Days

At least 3 separate days to complete each evaluation phase. No lot-sizing tricks to compress trading days.

RULE 4

Weekends

Weekend holding is allowed, unless otherwise notified.

RULE 5

Consistency Rule

All trades must follow our Lot Size Consistency Rule: no position should be more than twice or less than half of your initial lot size — across the entire account.

RULE 6

Breach Handling

Termination of the simulated account. You may purchase a new evaluation program to restart.

Lot Size Consistency Rule — Simple Breakdown

At Traders Spring Group, your risk must stay consistent from your very first trade — not just on one asset, but across the entire simulated account. Whether you're trading Boom 1000, Crash 500 or Volatility 75, this rule applies the same way.

1. Your First Trade Sets Everything

Your first lot size ever used becomes your benchmark. All future trades (on any asset) must stay within a fixed range.

2. Your Allowed Lot Size Range

Maximum = 2× first lot. Minimum = 0.5× first lot. So your range is 0.5× → 2× your first lot.

3. It's Across The Whole Account

You cannot trade small on one index and then switch and use a huge lot on another. That's still a violation.

Example A — Correct
0.50 lot on Boom 1000 → range 0.25–1.00
  • 0.30 on Crash 500 ✅
  • 0.80 on Volatility 75 ✅
  • 0.50 on Boom 300 ✅
Example B — Violation (too big)
0.20 lot on Volatility 75 → range 0.10–0.40
  • 1.50 on Boom 1000 ❌ (even though different index)
Example C — Violation (too small)
1.00 lot on Crash 500 → range 0.50–2.00
  • 0.10 on Volatility 75 ❌ (too small vs benchmark)

INSTANT-ONLY RULE
20% Profit Consistency Rule

Your single best trading day must not exceed 20% of your total profit at the time of a reward request. This is checked at payout review only — it never breaches your account. If your best day is over the limit, simply continue trading consistently across more days to bring it back into range, then re-request your reward.

Example: if your total simulated profit is $1,000, your single best day must be ≤ $200. A $300 day means you'd need ~$1,500 total profit before the request qualifies.
