Inactivity Periods

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:

  • Days are consecutive, not trading days.

  • Activity means logging into the account, not necessarily taking positions.

  • If your account is inactive, you will need to contact us via live chat or email and request new account details to log back in.

News Trading Restrictions

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

Swing Challenge Phases

No

No

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.

Commissions Per Lot

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

  • Forex: $7 per lot

  • Metals: $7 per lot

  • Commodities: No Commissions

  • Indices: No commissions

  • Crypto: No commissions

Drawdown Reset Time

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.

Precaution Regarding the Use of EAs

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.

Cheating Is Prohibited

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.

Minimum Trade Volume, Max Trade Volume and Max Position Limits

Please refer to our spreadsheet, which details all the limits. These limits are subject to change based on account size and leverage and are set by the broker, not ETX Funding. Note that the maximum lot size is provided for reference only and is not a recommendation; using the maximum lot size may conflict with our risk management policies. Click Here


Account Credential Safety

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.

Registration Fee Bonuses

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:

  • $5k Account: Achieve $500 in gains.

  • $10k Account: Achieve $1000 in gains.

  • $25k Account: Achieve $2000 in gains

  • $50k Account: Achieve $3,000 in gains

  • $100k Account: Achieve $5000 in gains.

  • $200k Account: Achieve $10,000 In gains

  • $300k Account: Achieve $15,000 in gains.

Conclusion:

Understanding and adhering to the trading rules during the Multi Campaign is fundamental for success and progression within ETX Funding. These rules ensure a level playing field, encourage disciplined trading, and aim to foster a constructive learning environment for all participants. By following these guidelines, traders can focus on developing their skills, achieving their targets, and advancing to further opportunities within the ETX Funding ecosystem.
