| Risk per trade cap | No cap No hard max-risk-per-trade rule; only a per-ticket order limit (50 lots, 20 for XAUUSD) that can be bypassed by stacking orders. | No cap Official FAQ lists only daily loss and max drawdown as hard limits; no per-trade risk, lot, or exposure cap. |
| News trading | Varies Unrestricted on evaluation; funded accounts ban trading 5 min before/after high-impact news. | Yes Allowed; no news blackout window found in their published rules. |
