Rules & Policies

Traders are responsible for creating their own accounts on the chosen trading platform.
After purchasing a challenge, traders have 30 calendar days to initiate Phase 1 by placing their first trade.
Upon successfully passing Phase 1, traders must request the start of Phase 2 within 15 days.
Once the Phase 2 account is issued, the trader has 30 days to place the first trade.

Upon successful completion of both challenge phases and after the first profit withdrawal from the live account, the trader is eligible for a refund of up to 100% of their challenge fee. Refunds are processed in cryptocurrency, typically via USDT or other digital assets.

Daily Drawdown is calculated based on the starting balance at the beginning of each trading day, while Overall (Max) Drawdown is measured against the initial account balance.
Throughout any trading day:
The equity or balance must not fall below 95% of the day’s starting balance. If this threshold is breached, the challenge (or live account) will be invalidated and marked as failed.
Even if the balance increases during the day, the initial balance at the start of the day remains the reference point for daily drawdown, allowing traders to take on greater risk within that limit.
Example: If the balance rolls over to the next day at 10,200 units, the daily drawdown limit will still be calculated based on the starting balance of that day, not the increased amount.
For Overall Drawdown, the maximum allowable loss is 12% of the initial account balance. If equity (including open trades) or balance declines by 12% or more from the starting balance, the account will be in violation of overall drawdown rules.
These policies are enforced to ensure effective risk management and account stability.

Hedging across accounts is strictly prohibited under any circumstance, including:
Between a trader’s own accounts (challenge or Real),
Between different traders on the FundedGate platform,
Between accounts on other proprietary trading firms.
If any form of inter-account hedging is detected, all associated accounts will be revoked without eligibility for refunds or future participation.
FundedGate reserves the right to terminate cooperation immediately and without prior notice in such cases. Hedging between accounts undermines the platform’s risk management objectives and is deemed a serious violation.

Traders are fully responsible for any losses incurred due to slippage. Slippage is not considered a technical failure or a breach of platform operations.
If slippage leads to a breach of risk parameters (such as maximum daily or overall loss), the trader’s account will be automatically closed, and no appeals will be accepted.
FundedGate accepts no liability for slippage caused by:
Market conditions, Major economic news releases, Low liquidity and High volatility events.

FundedGate accepts non-local (foreign) traders, provided they complete identity verification using a valid passport or government-issued national ID from their country of residence.

Due to the removal of time restrictions for challenge completion, account extensions are not required and cannot be requested.

Traders are allowed to use Martingale-based strategies, including increasing position size during trades as part of their risk management approach.
However, the use of automated trading bots or systems to execute these strategies is strictly prohibited. Any detection of bot usage for fully automated trade execution will be treated as a violation, and appropriate action will be taken in line with FundedGate's enforcement policies.

Using stop-loss orders is recommended as a part of effective risk and capital management.
However, it is not mandatory to place stop-losses during either phase of the challenge or while trading a Real account on the FundedGate platform.

Team Trading Policy
Traders participating as a group or team may manage multiple accounts, provided they do not engage in copy trading (i.e., over 90% similarity in entry points, stop loss, and take profit parameters).
Team trading is allowed only if a support ticket is submitted to inform the FundedGate team about the collaborative setup. Failure to declare team trading may result in account investigation or suspension.
Group trading is strictly prohibited on Real accounts.

The use of Expert Advisors (EAs) or trading bots is permitted only if the EA is fully owned by the trader and intellectual property ownership can be proven. EAs developed by others, purchased, or acquired without clear ownership are not allowed, as FundedGate values individual trading skill.
Permitted risk management tools include:
- Cheragh Capital Management EA
- Oro Capital Management EA
- Money Management EA
- TradingBoard and similar tools used strictly for risk control
Bots designed for latency arbitrage are prohibited due to incompatibility with FundedGate’s copy-trading restrictions and risk protocols.

If a trader exploits price discrepancies between demo servers and real market prices (e.g., through latency arbitrage), all resulting profits will be considered artificial.
This behavior is strictly prohibited under FundedGate and all reputable prop firm standards.
In such cases:
The trader’s challenge will be marked as failed.
Trading access to both challenge and Real accounts will be revoked. The trader’s entire user account will be suspended permanently.

All forms of copy trading are prohibited, except between the trader’s own personal accounts.
Copy trading involving accounts of other individuals is strictly forbidden. Detection of copy trade patterns across different users will lead to account suspension or permanent ban.

Once a challenge is purchased, no refunds will be issued under any circumstances.

Since FundedGate has removed all time limits for passing the challenge phases, account resets are no longer available under any circumstances.

Although there is no time limit for challenge or live account completion, traders must execute at least one trade within every 30-day period.
If no trades are placed within 30 consecutive days, the account will be considered inactive and automatically failed.

Each trader is allowed to hold a maximum of three active accounts simultaneously within FundedGate. Once these accounts successfully reach the live (Real) stage after completing both challenge phases, they are eligible to be merged into a single live account, upon request.

A trader may request to change their broker only under one of the following conditions:
- After completing a challenge phase
- After making a profit withdrawal from a Real account
Broker changes are not permitted under any other circumstances.

Traders are permitted to generate up to 10% of:
The profit target during challenge phases, and
The profit earned on live accounts
through fast scalping trades (i.e., trades held for less than 30 seconds).
Example: On a $10,000 Phase 1 account with an $800 profit target, a maximum of $80 profit can be earned from sub-30-second trades. Any profit exceeding this threshold will be automatically deducted from the account.

Traders are allowed to hold open trades overnight or over weekends. FundedGate imposes no restrictions on holding trades beyond a single trading session.

To ensure proper risk management and to prevent the use of high-risk trading strategies, the enforcement of the 80% Profit Rule is mandatory within this Prop Firm. Under this rule, if a trader generates more than 80% of the required profit solely from a single trade, or from multiple trades executed within less than five minutes on the same instrument—regardless of whether they are opened in the same or opposite directions—the trading structure will be deemed unbalanced, and the account may not be eligible for final approval or profit withdrawal.

According to this rule, if a trader derives more than 80% of the profit target (whether to pass the evaluation challenge or from profits in a live account) exclusively from one trade or a set of similar trades (on the same instrument or a specific position), such performance will be considered inconsistent with risk management standards. In this case, the trader will first receive a warning, and their account will be reset. Upon repeated violations of the 80% Rule, the trader’s account will be permanently terminated.

Important Note: This rule is enforced only when the account balance is equal to or greater than the initial balance. In the event the account is in drawdown (below the initial balance), the rule will not be applied until the balance returns to or exceeds the starting level.

In cases of suspicious trading activity or the use of unacceptable trading styles, FundedGate reserves the right to initiate a direct interview with the account holder at any time. This may be required for the purpose of:
Verifying the trader’s identity
Reviewing the account’s trading performance
Processing profit withdrawal requests
The objective of this process is to ensure the legitimacy of trading activity, maintain alignment with internal policies, and uphold the integrity of the trading ecosystem.

During challenge phases, Saturdays and Sundays are not counted toward the required minimum trading days. Additionally, a trader’s first trade must not be placed on either of these two days.
However, it is important to note that any profits or losses incurred on weekends will still be reflected in the account balance.
The calendar countdown for the challenge period officially begins once the first trade is executed on a valid market-open day.

The selected broker is only permitted to offer a zero-commission structure for trades executed on stock symbols.

If a trader executes trades on non-stock instruments, including but not limited to:

- Gold
- Forex Pairs
- Commodities
- Indices
- Crypto

through a broker that provides commission-free trading, a fee will be automatically deducted from the trader’s profit to ensure fairness and cost parity. Specifically, $4 per standard lot will be charged for such trades.

Note:
This policy is implemented to ensure fair competition, maintain consistency across accounts, and prevent misuse of commission-free structures.

To become eligible for account scaling, the following conditions must be met:
A minimum of 3 months must pass since receiving the live account
The trader must have completed 3 profit withdrawals (not necessarily consecutively)
A cumulative profit of at least 8% must be achieved
The account must be in profit at the time of the scaling request
Once these conditions are met:
The trader’s account will be scaled up by 15%,
The profit split will increase to 90%,
Scaling can be repeated in 3-month cycles,
The maximum capital allocation is $200,000.

A floating drawdown limit of 2% is enforced exclusively during the Real (Funded) Phase and applies only to newly activated funded accounts.
It is important to note that if a trader sets a stop loss smaller than 1.5%, and the floating drawdown is triggered solely due to slippage, this will not be considered a violation of the rule. However, any losses resulting from slippage remain the full responsibility of the trader.
Important Note: Floating drawdown is not only assessed at the end of the trading day or upon position closure, but is also monitored in real time on:
Each open position individually, and
The combined total of all open positions within the account.

The maximum allowable withdrawal for $1,000 and $3,000 accounts is equal to 40% of the initial account balance per withdrawal.
The maximum allowable withdrawal for $5,000 to $10,000 accounts is equal to 25% of the initial account balance per withdrawal.
The maximum allowable withdrawal for $15,000 and $25,000 accounts is equal to 15% of the initial account balance per withdrawal.

The trader is permitted to change the password of their personal trading panel; however, changing the Investor Password is strictly prohibited and constitutes a violation of FundedGate’s rules. In such cases, the account will be considered non-compliant and the challenge will be deemed failed.
Furthermore, if the account credentials are shared with any third party, the challenge will be invalidated. Each account is strictly personal and is considered the sole property of the registered user throughout all stages.
In addition, placing any trades after submitting a request for the next phase or after submitting a profit withdrawal request is strictly forbidden and will result in reset account.

Upon successfully completing both challenge phases and passing the account review process, traders must submit valid identification documents through the KYC (Know Your Customer) section of their user dashboard. Failure to complete identity verification within the specified timeframe will result in disqualification of the account.
Please note:
- The full name registered in your FundedGate user profile must exactly match the name on your official identification documents. Any mismatch will be considered a violation of policy and result in account rejection.
- Transferring, sharing, or managing an account on behalf of another person (other than the original buyer) is strictly prohibited. Any such activity will be treated as a breach of terms and lead to account suspension or termination.
These policies are implemented to maintain user security and comply with regulatory standards.

Since broker selection and demo account creation are the trader’s responsibility, all technical issues related to server disruptions, including delays, execution slippage, and outages, are fully the trader’s responsibility.
FundedGate evaluates only the data provided via the Investor Password. In cases of:
Missing trades,
Partial executions,
Or inaccessible account data,
FundedGate bears no responsibility. Traders are strongly advised to select reliable, stable brokers with strong infrastructure to avoid such issues.
If a performance issue in a challenge is caused by server disruptions, re-evaluation will be considered only if the trader provides verifiable documentation, such as an official confirmation from the broker’s support team. Without such proof, Investor Password data will be considered final.

The "Prohibition on Using Exclusive Brokers of Other Prop Firms" rule states that traders are not permitted to use trading accounts associated with proprietary brokers of other prop trading companies. The purpose of this rule is to maintain operational independence, prevent conflicts of interest, and ensure transparency in users' trading activities within the FundedGate framework.

At FundedGate Prop Firm, deposits can be made either via local currency payment (Rial) or USDT on the BEP20 network. Withdrawals, however, are exclusively processed in USDT through the BEP20 network. Traders are required to register and verify their accurate wallet address in their user profile. To initiate a profit withdrawal, the trader must submit a request to the FundedGate team. Following a review of the account’s performance, profits will be allocated, and the corresponding amount will be transferred. After each withdrawal, the Real account will be reset and prepared for a new trading cycle. In cases where trader misconduct is identified, FundedGate reserves the right to cancel the withdrawal process and withhold any payment.

To ensure transparency and consistency in financial operations, profit withdrawals at FundedGate follow a structured schedule and process as outlined below:

Withdrawal Request Submission: Traders are eligible to submit profit withdrawal requests no earlier than two weeks after receiving their Real account, strictly within the designated windows of the 12th–13th and the 26th–27th of each calendar month.

Profit Payout: Approved profit withdrawals will be processed within a maximum of 72 business hours after the request window, specifically between the 14th–16th and the 28th–30th of each calendar month. Profit withdrawals will only be executed if, at the time of request, the account fully complies with all applicable requirements, including trading rules, identity verification standards (KYC), and eligible withdrawal limits.

All trading styles — including swing trading, day trading, and scalping — are allowed. However, the following practices are strictly prohibited:
Use of Bots and Expert Advisors (EAs)
The use of automated trading bots or expert advisors for executing trades is strictly prohibited.
However, EAs or tools designed purely for risk and capital management (e.g., auto lot sizing, SL/TP automation, trailing stop) are permitted.
Trading Spamming
This refers to:
Opening a high volume of positions in short intervals without valid strategy or analysis.
Using repetitive trading algorithms or bots.
Creating unusual server load or disrupting liquidity sources.
Disrupting the platform’s risk management system.
First violations will result in an official warning and account reset. Repeated violations will lead to permanent account suspension.
Abusive Overtrading
Engaging in excessive trading within a short timeframe, disregarding market structure or trading psychology, is deemed unethical and manipulative. First offenses receive a warning and reset; repeated offenses result in account bans.
Toxic Algo Patterns
These are characterized by:
Repetitive, risk-free trade patterns.
Predictable structures in low timeframes.
Illogical or unbalanced risk-to-reward setups.
These will first trigger a warning, followed by account suspension if repeated.
Managing Other Users’ Accounts
If unusual similarities are observed across multiple accounts or evidence suggests simultaneous management by one person, FundedGate reserves the right to initiate an investigation.
Traders may be asked to participate in a live verification call or provide documentation. Failure to comply, refusal, or insufficient documentation will result in account suspension or permanent ban.

At FundedGate
, there are no restrictions on trading during news events. However, due to the freedom for traders to choose their preferred brokers within the FundedGate ecosystem, and considering the differences in execution conditions among brokers during economic news releases, the following rule has been established to maintain fairness and prevent potential abuse arising from zero-slippage conditions offered by certain brokers:

For Forex trading, opening or closing trades is prohibited from 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after the release of economic news.
For Cryptocurrency trading, opening or closing trades is prohibited from 15 minutes before until 15 minutes after the release of economic news.

If a trade is executed within these restricted windows, only the profit generated from that specific trade will be excluded from the account balance calculation. No additional penalties or consequences will apply to the trader.

Please note that any losses, severe price gaps, or slippage occurring during news events are solely the responsibility of the trader, and no objections or claims regarding such situations will be accepted.

- In the absence of widespread disruptions, the ability to open and close trades, modify orders, and manage positions will remain fully operational under normal conditions.
- In the event of a complete outage or severe internet disruption, proprietary (prop) accounts may be temporarily placed in Close-Only mode. Under this condition, only the closure of active positions will be permitted, and the initiation of new positions will be disabled.
- Days affected by nationwide internet outages or disruptions will not be counted as inactivity days in account evaluations. This measure is implemented to ensure fairness and to prevent adverse impact on users due to circumstances beyond their control.
- During wartime or similar extraordinary conditions, there is a heightened risk of extreme market volatility and order execution slippage. Users are required to factor in these risks when making trading decisions. FundedGate shall bear no responsibility for losses arising from unpredictable market fluctuations under such conditions.
- The only official communication channels of FundedGate are this channel and its official Instagram page. Users are strongly advised to verify channel IDs and links carefully. Please note that the FundedGate support team will never initiate direct messages to individuals on social media platforms.
