SabioTrade rules in full
Max DD Type
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.
Daily DD Type
5% of the previous day's closed balance (4% on Day Trading accounts), measured on equity; hard breach. Resets at 00:00 UTC.
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.
Minimum Trading Days
None stated; the assessment can be passed in a single session.
Time Limit
None, provided at least one trade is placed every 30 days (30 days of inactivity is a breach).
Leverage
Forex 1:30, commodities 1:25, stocks and ETFs 1:20, crypto 1:3; indices 1:100 in the plan details but 20:1 in the FAQ. Day Trading and Flash accounts offer higher leverage (1:100 on Flash).
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.
Holding Restrictions
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.
EAs/Copy
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.
Commissions
Not published. Overnight fees apply to positions held overnight; zero spreads on specific FX pairs at specific times on Pro plans.
Fees
One time assessment fee, no monthly fee, no activation fee stated. Pro 3 ($259) and Pro 12 ($829) bundle three or twelve $20,000 assessment accounts with 3 or 12 months of academy access, mentoring and zero spreads on selected FX pairs at set times. Separate academy subscriptions cost $13.86, $39.99 and $79.99 for 1, 4 and 12 weeks. Free 7 day trial account. Prices are charged in EUR in Europe and GBP in the UK. Overnight fees are deducted from the account. No refunds once access is provided.
Scaling rules
Scaling Plan
No scaling plan. Accounts cannot be merged, and users are limited to one active account per assessment level without written approval.
SabioTrade review
SabioTrade is a CFD prop firm that says it was founded in 2022 and is run by Codevil IT Engineering Limited, a company registered in Dublin, Ireland. It sells one step assessments for a one time fee: Essential at $119 for $20,000, Plus at $289 for $50,000, Advanced at $479 for $100,000, Ultimate at $939 for $200,000, Prime at $2,989 for $650,000 and Supreme at $5,989 for $1,000,000. A VIP PRO bundle of two $75,000 assessments costs $617, and Day Trading (intraday) assessments cost $189 for $35,000 (Blaze), $489 for $50,000 (Daybreak), $1,466 for $100,000 (Surge) and $2,889 for $300,000 (Apex). Pro 3 and Pro 12 bundles add three or twelve $20,000 assessment attempts with longer academy access for $259 and $829. The standard plans ask for 10% profit on closed balance, with a 5% daily loss limit and a 6% maximum drawdown that trails the highest closed balance. Day Trading accounts ask for 12%, with a 4% daily loss limit and a 5% trailing drawdown, and close all positions at the end of each day. There is no time limit, but an account breaches after 30 days without a trade. A 55% consistency rule applies to the best day and to any single trade, and a large day raises the target rather than failing the account. Funded traders keep 80% on Essential and Plus, 90% on the larger standard plans and the Blaze, Daybreak and Surge Day Trading plans, and 95% on Apex, and can request a payout every seven days by bank transfer, crypto or Amaiz wallet. Trading takes place on the firm's own QuadCode based Traderoom, covering forex, stocks, commodities, indices, ETFs and crypto, with forex leverage up to 1:30 on the standard plans and 1:100 on Day Trading accounts. US citizens are not accepted.
Suits
Manual forex and CFD traders who hold positions for hours or days, keep steady sizes and want weekly payout requests.
Less suited to
You scalp, run automated strategies, need MetaTrader or TradingView, or hold US citizenship.
Pros
- One step assessments have no time limit and no monthly fee, from $119 for a $20,000 account.
- Payouts can be requested every seven days, and the firm states they are processed within 24 hours.
- A best day above 55% raises the profit target rather than failing the assessment.
- Positions can be held overnight and at weekends on the standard plans, with overnight fees applied.
- Academy courses, webinars and mentoring are included in every plan.
Cons
- Scalping, high frequency trading, hedging and unapproved automation are all prohibited.
- The 6% drawdown trails the highest closed balance, and after the first payout equity must stay above the starting balance.
- Funded accounts from assessments bought from 2 February 2026 forfeit remaining profit on any rule breach.
- Trading is limited to the firm's QuadCode based Traderoom platform.
- The split can be reduced to 70% if the risk team flags an account for high risk trading.
Verdict
SabioTrade's appeal lies in its simple structure. There is one assessment step, the same percentages on every standard account size, no time limit and no monthly fee, and payouts can be requested every seven days from the first cycle. The consistency rule is handled more gently than a hard cap, because a large day raises the profit target instead of failing the account, and weekend holding is allowed on the standard plans. The academy, webinars and mentoring are included in every plan.
The restrictions are significant. Scalping, high frequency trading, hedging, arbitrage and any automated or semi automated trading without written approval are all prohibited, and trades placed repeatedly ahead of news releases can be treated as gambling. Payouts need five to seven trades of comparable size, no single trade above 55% of profit, and remain subject to review. After the first payout the account must stay above its starting balance, and for assessments bought from 2 February 2026 any breach of the funded account forfeits the remaining profit. The firm can also cut the split to 70% if an account is flagged for high risk trading.
Trading is limited to the firm's QuadCode based platform, and forex leverage is capped at 1:30 on the standard plans (Day Trading accounts offer 1:100). The terms point to a list of restricted countries that does not appear in the published text, although US citizens are excluded wherever they live. Trustpilot shows a rating of 3.5 from 697 reviews.
SabioTrade suits manual forex and CFD traders who hold positions for hours or days, keep steady position sizes and value education alongside the assessment. It is a poor fit for scalpers, algorithmic traders and anyone who wants MetaTrader or TradingView.

The firm can reduce the split to 70% if its risk team formally flags an account for high risk trading or issues a documented warning for prohibited activity.

Trading that resembles gambling, such as repeatedly placing trades just before news releases or risking most of the account on one trade, can lead to account closure.
