Trading Rules
Each firm’s daily and maximum loss limits, as the firm sets them. Each firm’s profile says how its limits are measured.
| 2 firms | ||
|---|---|---|
| Daily loss limitAcross the firm's programs | 5% | 3% to 5% |
| Max loss limitAcross the firm's programs | 6% | 6% to 10%Most room |
| Daily drawdown | 5% of the previous day's closed balance (4% on Day Trading accounts), measured on equity; hard breach. Resets at 00:00 UTC. | Calculated on the previous day's closing balance (initial balance on day one): 3% on 1 Step Prime and Direct, 5% on 2 Step Prime and 2 Step Pro (4% at $200K). |
| Max drawdown | Trailing: equity must not fall more than 6% of the initial balance (5% on Day Trading accounts) below the highest recorded closed balance (high water mark on closed trades, breach measured on equity including open positions). Once a withdrawal is requested the drawdown is set at the starting balance, and after the first payout equity must always stay above the initial balance. Hard breach. | Static on 1 Step Prime (6%), 2 Step Prime and 2 Step Pro (10%, or 8% at $200K), measured on balance or equity from the initial balance. Direct Account uses a 7% trailing drawdown. |
| Minimum trading days | None stated; the assessment can be passed in a single session. | 1 Step Prime: 2 days. 2 Step Prime: 3 days per phase. 2 Step Pro: 2 days per phase. Payouts: 3 profitable days (0.5%) in 14 days on the fortnightly cycle, 7 in 30 days on the monthly cycle. |
| Time limit | None, provided at least one trade is placed every 30 days (30 days of inactivity is a breach). | Unlimited. At least one trade every 30 calendar days to avoid inactivity closure. |
| News trading | Not banned outright, but trading that resembles gambling, such as consistently placing trades just before news releases or other binary events, is prohibited. | Allowed without restriction on 1 Step Prime and 2 Step Prime (challenge and funded) and on 2 Step Pro challenges. Funded 2 Step Pro and Direct accounts cannot open or close trades on affected instruments from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after high impact news, including SL and TP fills. |
| Overnight and weekends | Overnight holding allowed with overnight fees. Weekend holding is listed on the standard plans; packages that do not allow it require positions to be closed by Friday 3:45 pm EST. Day Trading and Flash accounts close all positions at the end of the day. | Overnight holding allowed on all accounts. Weekend holding allowed on Prime accounts and 2 Step Pro challenges, not on funded 2 Step Pro or Direct accounts. |
| EAs and copy trading | Automated or semi automated trading (bots, algorithms, scripts, APIs, trade copiers, EAs) is prohibited without prior written approval. Scalping, high frequency trading, hedging, cross account hedging, arbitrage and exploiting latency or pricing errors are prohibited. | EAs and bots allowed only on MT5 with the paid EA add on, not on cTrader, Match Trader, TradeLocker or Direct accounts; the EA strategy must be declared and identical EA setups may be grouped for allocation. Copy trading only between your own Hola Prime funded accounts. |
| Consistency rule | 55%: no single trading day and no single trade may exceed 55% of total profit, on assessment and funded accounts. On the assessment a day above 55% raises the profit target (new total = largest day divided by 0.55). Payouts also need 5 to 7 trades of comparable size and remain subject to review. | On demand payout option: 40% consistency and 2% minimum total profit. Direct Account: 20% (largest winning day cannot exceed 20% of total profit). None on the fortnightly or monthly cycles. |
