Discipline Rules · breach = violation
Three rules every challenge must respect
These are not hidden. They’re here, on the public rules page, before you buy. Hit the profit target without respecting all three and the system records a violation. No surprises.
Rule 1
3× median lot
Lot-size discipline
Your biggest single-trade lot can’t exceed 3× your median lot for the challenge. So if your usual lot is 0.5, no single trade larger than 1.5. Catches “double the bet” YOLO sizing at entry.
Breach trigger
Any closed trade with lot size > 3× median = violation, regardless of P&L.
Rule 2
5 minutes
Min hold-time per day
Each counted trading day must include at least 5 minutes of total holding time across all positions. Stops 30-second scalp luck from passing.
Breach trigger
A day where total hold-time across all closed trades is under 5m doesn’t count toward your min trading days.
Rule 3
10 closed trades
Min trades total
You must close at least 10 trades during the challenge. One-trade passes don’t exist here.
Breach trigger
Below 10 closed trades at the moment you hit the profit target = no pass, account stays open until you do.
Where this is enforced: the trade-shape engine runs after every closed trade and at the moment of profit-target hit. Live status visible on your account dashboard.

Breach handling
What happens if you break a rule
No ambiguity. Here’s the exact flow the system runs if you breach a drawdown limit.
1
Account freezes instantly
The moment equity crosses the limit, the account is frozen. No more trades accepted, balance locked at breach-time.
2
Reason is stamped on the dashboard
You see exactly which limit tripped (daily vs max), by how much, and when. No vague 'account closed' message.
3
10% retry discount is offered
We email a discount code for the same account size within a few minutes. Pay the discounted fee, fresh account, fresh start.
4
No hidden comeback blocks
You can retry as many times as you want. Failing doesn't tag your email or restrict future purchases.
Our promise
What won’t trip you up
We don’t hide behind fine print. Rules shown here are the only rules.
✓
No consistency rule, no hidden penalties
Discipline rules instead: lot-size (biggest trade ≤ 3× your median), 5 min hold-time, and 10 total trades. All shown above.
✓
No phantom spreads or swap traps
Real MT5 accounts, real market conditions.
!
Weekend holding: soft-breach warning
Positions must close before Friday 20:00 UTC. First offense = email warning, not account failure.
!
News events: stop loss required
Trades opened within ±2 min of a high-impact release must have a stop loss. Missing SL = warning; profiting without SL = hard breach (exploitation).
!
Max lot size: 1 lot per $10K
Position size capped to 1.0 lot per $10K of account size ($50K → 5 lots, $200K → 20). Prevents single-trade gambling.
✓
10% retry if you fail
Lose a challenge? Retry the same size with an automatic 10% discount.
✓
Fee refunded on first payout
Pass and get paid — we give your challenge fee back.
Prohibited
What will get you disqualified
These aren’t on a hidden list. Use any of the below and the account gets closed without refund. Same rule at every serious prop firm.
Expert Advisors, bots, or automation
TFC challenges are manual-only. EAs, MT5 scripts, trade copiers, HFT bots — none of it. Accounts running automation get disqualified.
Copy trading from unrelated accounts
Copying signals or trades from accounts you don't own (Telegram groups, signal services, other TFC accounts) is not allowed.
Latency / feed exploitation
Exploiting broker latency, stale quotes, swap holidays, or other pricing edge-cases isn't trading — it's arbitrage, and it voids the account.
Hedging between accounts
Opening opposite positions across two TFC accounts (or TFC + another firm) to lock in risk-free profit. Both accounts get closed.
Account sharing or sale
One account per trader. Logging a friend in, reselling credentials, or letting a third party manage your trades disqualifies both parties.
Mass-market signal services
Following a paid signal group or Telegram room without disclosure is treated as copy trading. We check when patterns match known services.
Martingale & grid doubling
Doubling position size after losses, or stacking grid orders to average into drawdown, is prohibited. Funded passes must come from an edge, not from betting bigger into a losing trade.
If in doubt, ask.Message us on WhatsApp before you trade a strategy you’re unsure about — cheaper than losing a funded account.
