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 8%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. | 3% on Zero and Standard, 5% on Swing, 4% in the Nova evaluation and 3% on funded Nova. Measured from the greater of the previous day's closing balance or closing equity, resets at midnight UTC, and counts floating losses, swaps and commissions. |
| 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 for Orion Standard (6%) and Orion Swing (8%), fixed from the initial balance. Trailing lock for Orion Zero (6%) and Orion Nova (8% in evaluation, 5% funded): the floor follows the balance upward and locks at the funded starting balance once the first payout is approved. |
| Minimum trading days | None stated; the assessment can be passed in a single session. | 4 trading days in each evaluation for Standard and Swing; none for Zero and Nova; none on any funded account |
| Time limit | None, provided at least one trade is placed every 30 days (30 days of inactivity is a breach). | Unlimited on all programs; accounts with no trades for 30 consecutive calendar days expire |
| 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. | No timing restrictions during any evaluation, but news trading used as a strategy is prohibited on all programs. Funded Nova and Standard accounts may not open, close or modify trades from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after a high impact event. Funded Swing accounts have no restriction. Orion Zero allows it, but trades opened or closed within 5 minutes of a high impact event are rewarded at 50% instead of 80%. |
| 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 and weekend holding allowed on every program in evaluation and funded stages. Opening trades specifically to capture price gaps is prohibited. |
| 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 are permitted only for risk and trade management (stop loss, take profit, break even, trailing stops, partial closes, position sizing, drawdown protection). Third party EAs, signal generating or autonomous bots, HFT, tick scalping and automated copy trading are prohibited, and automation above 2,000 server requests a day is not allowed. Copy trading is allowed only between accounts owned by the same person; external copy services are prohibited. |
| 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. | Best Day Rule of 20% on Orion Zero and on funded Orion Nova accounts: the best single day may not exceed 20% of total profit in the reward cycle before a reward can be requested. No Best Day Rule on Standard, Swing or the Nova evaluation. |
