Trading Rules During Solo Campaign at ETX Funding

The Solo Campaign at ETX Funding is designed to emulate real-market conditions, providing traders with a platform to demonstrate their trading proficiency. Adherence to specific trading rules is crucial for maintaining the integrity and fairness of the evaluation process.

All accounts in all phases will be limited to a 30-day inactivity period. This means that if an ETX trader does not log into their account for more than 30 consecutive days, the account will be deactivated.

Please note that:

The approach to news trading varies based on account type and evaluation phase.

Although news trading is not restricted on challenge phase 1 and phase 2, we do have a restriction on News trading in simulated funded accounts. Please review the full breakdown here: News Trading

Disclaimer: We do not recommend engaging in news trading activities, as it could expose your account to significant risk. If we detect any misuse or a pattern of exclusively trading on news, we reserve the right to suspend your account, as such behavior violates our terms of use and reflects our firm's commitment to compensating traders in exchange for trading data.

In our trading programs on DX Trade, the commission structure per lot is as follows:

The simulated max daily loss limit resets every day between 4:58 PM - 5:05 PM EST. To ensure smooth functionality, we advise our simulated traders to not execute trades in between the window of 4:58 PM - 5:05 PM EST when the drawdown is being reset. Once your last simulated balance/equity (whichever is higher) is pulled for the trading day, your dashboard will update with your new Daily Breach Level. This is the amount your account simulated equity must stay above in order to not be breached.

It's important to note that the use of EAs on 1-Step and 2-Step Evaluations must still follow all other guidelines in accordance with ETX's Terms of Service. This includes, but is not limited to, prohibited trading strategies, copy trading from third-party signals, account management services, arbitrage trading (latency or reverse), and grid trading. Please advise caution when using third-party or publicly available EAs. The parameters of the EA you are using must be unique to your demo account as our internal systems may flag the account for copy simulated trading, which is a direct violation of our terms and conditions. In such cases, an investigation will be launched, which may result in the breach of the demo account.

Any trading styles that are deemed as "cheating", or otherwise not reflective of trading in the real market, are not permitted and will result in a violation of our Terms of Use. For this reason, it is against our rules to take advantage of strategies that generate risk-free, consistent simulated gains only on demo accounts. Our traders are expected to be trading on their accounts as if they are live accounts. Any use of a strategy that takes advantage of demo accounts will result in the closure of a Funded Trader’s account, whether in the evaluation phase or while funded. Please note that using any account management, “pass your challenge”, and/or copy trading services is also strictly prohibited and will result in the rejection of any Simulated Funded Accounts, as well as a permanent ban of all ETX services.

While we don’t impose specific maximum lot limits, we do have policies in place to manage and mitigate high-risk trading styles. Please refer to the spreadsheet detailing account limits. These limits, set by the broker rather than ETX Funding, may vary based on account size and leverage. The maximum lot size listed is for reference only and is not a recommendation; using the maximum lot size may conflict with our risk management policies. Click Here

You are responsible for making sure your account credentials are safe. We do not reinstate accounts that have been hacked or distributed to third parties for trading and lost. If your account has been hacked, get in touch with our team so we can lock the account and change the password and run you through security protocols. No reinstatement of accounts will occur so it is important for you to get to us as quickly as you can if your account has been hacked.

All traders who pass Phase 1 and Phase 2 will receive a Bonus of their registration fee when they reach their first performance reward share period at the end of the first month on their Simulated Funded trading account. A trader qualifies for a performance reward and registration fee refund only if they have made:
