Guideline

Every rule. Before you pay.

The complete FundedCore rulebook — objectives, limits, breaches and payouts, with worked examples. If it isn't written here, it isn't a rule.

01General

Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, or the minimum legal age in your country, to purchase an evaluation. Traders from all countries are accepted except those on OFAC sanction lists, subject to legal and compliance requirements.
Accounts
You trade on a FundedCore-provided account. Our risk management and analytics systems are synced to the accounts we issue, allowing real-time monitoring of rules and performance. Track everything in the trader dashboard — monitoring your own drawdown, daily loss and breach thresholds is your responsibility.
Pricing and commissions
Evaluation and funded accounts receive standard retail market pricing and commissions, identical to comparable self-funded retail accounts. Charges on your statement appear as Dashboardanalytix.com.
Leverage
Forex and metals up to 50:1 · Indices up to 10:1 · Oil up to 5:1 · Cryptocurrencies up to 2:1.
Automated strategies
EAs, bots and algos are allowed, provided they use genuine market execution, do not exploit latency, errors or system behaviour, and comply with all risk and conduct rules. A prohibited automated strategy may result in account termination.
Taxes
On a funded account you act as an independent contractor and are responsible for reporting and paying applicable taxes. FundedCore does not withhold taxes. We strongly recommend consulting a tax professional in your jurisdiction.

02Risk limits & breaches

Daily loss limit
The daily loss limit resets at 5:00 PM EST. It is calculated on the higher of the prior day’s closing balance (realised P&L only) or closing equity (balance plus open P&L). Worked example — $100,000 account, 5% limit: at reset your balance is $100,000 but profitable open positions push equity to $102,000. The limit is 5% × $102,000 = $5,100, so a breach occurs if intraday equity drops to $96,900. With no open positions, or open positions in a loss, the breach level is $95,000.
Maximum drawdown (static)
On PRO and PRO 2.0, the maximum drawdown is a fixed percentage of your starting balance. It never trails your profits. Breaching it is a hard breach.
Hard breach vs soft breach
Soft breach: the offending trades are closed, and you continue trading your evaluation or funded account. Hard breach: you violated the daily loss limit, the maximum drawdown or the inactivity rule. The evaluation is failed, or the funded account is withdrawn.
Inactivity
If no trading activity occurs for 30 consecutive days, the account is breached.
Position limits
Position size is generally determined by margin. FundedCore reserves the right to increase margin requirements, limit order size, restrict open positions or refuse orders due to market conditions.
Lot definitions
Forex: 1 lot = $100,000 notional · Indices: 1 contract (SPX500 = 10 contracts, JPN225 = 500 contracts) · Crypto: 1 coin · Gold: 100 oz · Silver: 5,000 oz · Oil: 100 barrels.

03Prohibited practices

What is prohibited
Exploiting pricing errors or latency · using non-public or insider information · front-running · third-party strategies sold to “pass challenges” · using one strategy to pass and another on funded accounts · arbitrage between FundedCore accounts or third parties · trading in restricted news windows · gambling behaviour such as maximum-leverage all-in positions.
News events
Opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a news event is prohibited. If price touches your stop loss or take profit during a news event, that also counts as an infraction — and you cannot move your SL/TP during the window. What qualifies as a news event is determined solely by FundedCore.
Copy trading
Copy trading is allowed only between accounts owned by the same trader. Group trading, signal services and shared strategies are not allowed.
Consequences
If prohibited trading is detected, participation may be terminated, fees may be forfeited, and funded accounts may be denied or revoked.

04Platforms & products

Platforms
cTrader (desktop, web and mobile — advanced charting), Match-Trader (web and mobile app) and DXtrade (web-based, no download).
Products
Forex pairs, CFD indices, commodities, metals and cryptocurrencies, as issued by the liquidity provider. Instrument availability may change over time.
Trading hours
Set per instrument by the liquidity provider. DXtrade: right-click a symbol → Instrument Info. Match-Trader: expand the symbol → Info. cTrader: symbol window → Market Hours.
Weekend holding
Holding positions over the weekend is allowed.

05Funded accounts & payouts

Rules on funded accounts
Identical to the evaluation, with one difference: there is no profit target.
Getting funded
After passing, you complete KYC verification and the trader agreement. Your funded account is issued within 24–48 business hours. The account is notionally funded — trading conditions are real and identical regardless of the capital backing structure.
Withdrawals
Request a withdrawal every 14 days from the trader dashboard. On approval, the company share is withdrawn alongside yours and the trailing drawdown locks at the initial balance. Example: the account grows from $100,000 to $120,000 and you withdraw $16,000 — you receive $12,000, FundedCore retains $4,000, and the drawdown locks at $100,000.
Account limits
One evaluation per account size and plan type at a time. Maximum $1M in active evaluations and $1M in active funded accounts. Accounts can be combined or run consecutively, and there is no limit to growth by compounding ($10M+).
Execution
FundedCore has no control over prices or trade execution. For certain transactions we may act as a direct counterparty to manage risk, using independent third-party pricing — profits and losses are calculated identically either way.

06Instant Funding Lite

Consistency rule (25%)
Your highest single-day profit must not exceed 25% of your total profit. Example: total profit $2,000 → 25% = $500 maximum from any single day.
Profit buffer (3%)
The first 3% of starting balance is a locked buffer that cannot be withdrawn and protects the account. On a $100,000 account, the first $3,000 is locked; profits above it are withdrawable.
Withdrawals on Lite
Available after 14 days, once the 3% buffer is reached and the 25% consistency rule is met.
Lite risk limits
Daily loss: 3% — hard breach. Maximum drawdown: 5%, trailing until it reaches the starting balance, then it locks.

?FAQ — every question

How does FundedCore work?
Pick a challenge (one-step PRO, two-step PRO 2.0, or Instant Funding Lite), pay a one-time fee, and trade within published targets and limits. Pass, complete verification, and receive a funded account with up to 90% profit split, withdrawable every 14 days.
What does a challenge cost?
One payment, from $35 for a $5,000 PRO 2.0 challenge up to $787.50 for a $100,000 PRO challenge. There are no monthly fees and no recurring costs.
How many accounts can I have?
One evaluation per account size and plan type at a time, up to $1M in active evaluations and $1M in active funded accounts. Multiple accounts of the same size can be combined or run one after another, and there is no limit to growth by compounding.
Where do I track my progress?
In the trader dashboard, updated in near real time. Monitoring your drawdown, daily loss and breach thresholds is your responsibility.
What is the difference between a hard breach and a soft breach?
Soft breach: the offending trades are closed, and you keep trading. Hard breach: you violated the daily loss limit, maximum drawdown or inactivity rule — the evaluation is failed or the funded account is withdrawn.
How is the daily loss limit calculated?
It resets at 5:00 PM EST and uses the higher of the prior day’s closing balance or closing equity. Example: $100,000 account with a 5% limit and equity of $102,000 at reset — the limit is $5,100, so a breach occurs at $96,900 intraday equity. With no open positions, the breach level is $95,000.
How is the maximum drawdown calculated?
On PRO plans it is static: a fixed percentage of starting balance that never trails. On Instant Funding Lite it is 5% trailing until it reaches the starting balance, then locks. Breaching it is a hard breach.
Can I hold positions over the weekend?
Yes. Weekend holding is allowed on all accounts.
Can I trade during news events?
No. Opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a news event is prohibited, and SL/TP fills inside the window count as infractions. You cannot move your SL/TP during the window either.
Is there an inactivity rule?
Yes. No trading for 30 consecutive days breaches the account.
Can I use EAs or automated strategies?
Yes, provided they use genuine market execution, do not exploit latency or errors, and comply with the prohibited trading policy.
Is copy trading allowed?
Only between accounts owned by you. Group trading, signals and shared strategies are not allowed.
What trading activity is prohibited?
Exploiting pricing errors or latency, insider information, front-running, bought pass-strategies, switching strategies between evaluation and funded, arbitrage across accounts, news-window trading and gambling behaviour. Detection can mean termination, forfeited fees and revoked accounts.
Am I subject to position limits?
Position size is determined by margin. FundedCore may adjust margin requirements, order limits and open positions, or reject orders based on market conditions.
Do I trade real capital?
Your funded account is notionally funded: trading conditions are real and identical regardless of the capital backing structure, and your profit share is paid in real money.
How fast do I get my funded account?
After passing, complete KYC and the trader agreement — the account is issued within 24–48 business hours.
How do withdrawals work?
Request a payout every 14 days from the dashboard. Processing takes 24–48 hours. On approval, the trailing drawdown locks at the initial balance.
Are funded rules different from the evaluation?
Identical, minus the profit target.
Does anyone manipulate my prices or execution?
No. FundedCore has no control over prices or execution. For some transactions we may act as counterparty to manage risk, using independent third-party pricing — P&L is calculated identically.
Which platforms can I use?
cTrader (desktop, web, mobile), Match-Trader (web, mobile) and DXtrade (web). You choose at checkout.
What can I trade?
Forex pairs, CFD indices, commodities, metals and cryptocurrencies, as issued by the liquidity provider.

Are there monthly fees?
No. Every challenge is a single one-time payment.
Are fees refundable?
