Payout Policy
Profit withdrawal rules and schedules
Payouts are requested from the Equity Edge dashboard once an account has been funded.
The request cycle
- Legacy, Swift and Flagship funded accounts: a payout can be requested every fourteenth calendar day counted from the first trade placed on the funded account. Missing that day means waiting a further 14 calendar days.
- Instant accounts: the same fourteen calendar day cycle applies, counted from the first trade on the Instant account.
- Traders who reach VIP status qualify for payouts on demand rather than on the fourteen day cycle.
Minimum amounts
There is no minimum profit target, but a minimum payout of $125 applies on a qualified trader account. On an Instant account the $125 must sit on top of the 3% safety buffer, and the performance and consistency rules must be satisfied at the time of the request.
Processing
Requests must be submitted before 17:00 UK time. A request made on a Sunday begins processing on the Monday. Payouts are processed within 48 hours, counted as two business days, provided the rules and terms have been met, the payment details supplied are correct and no further information is needed. Payment is made by bank wire transfer or in cryptocurrency, at the trader's choice.
Verification
KYC verification is mandatory before any payout is released.
What reduces or voids a payout
- Profit made inside the restricted high impact news window is reviewed and deducted at payout. On an Instant account, if profit from news trades exceeds 25% of the trader's profit share the payout is rejected and the profit share is forfeited.
- Profit made on trades held for less than 2 minutes is deducted from the balance at payout.
- A payment made from a third party card or account causes the payout request to be rejected and the user account to be disabled.
- Payouts are subject to review by the risk and compliance team and may be declined where a rule breach, a location discrepancy or strategy manipulation is suspected.
After a payout on an Instant account
Requesting a payout resets the maximum total loss back to the account's initial balance. If the loss limit has not yet trailed past the initial balance it continues trailing at 5% from the highest balance or equity reached.

Commission Structure
Trading fees by asset class
Equity Edge charges commission per round lot on top of raw spreads. The rate depends on the program rather than the account size.
- Legacy, Swift and Flagship accounts, both 1-Step and 2-Step: $3 per round lot across all asset classes.
- Instant accounts: $6 per round lot across all asset classes.
Indices are commission free on every program.
Commission is charged on the simulated account and counts toward the drawdown calculation, alongside swap fees and the profit or loss on closed positions.

Consistency Rules
Performance requirements to maintain your account
Consistency requirements apply to Instant accounts. They are checked when a payout is requested, not during trading.
15% consistency score
To request a payout the largest winning day must not exceed 15% of the total net profits generated on the account. Once a payout has been requested, the measurement restarts and the largest winning day is compared against total net profits generated since that last request.
Worked through: if total net profit is $5,000 then the biggest winning day must not be greater than $750. Turned around, a biggest winning day of $1,000 requires total profit of $6,667 before a payout can be requested, and a biggest winning day of $2,250 requires $15,000.
3% safety buffer
The first 3% of profit generated above the account's initial balance serves as a safety buffer. It exists so that a sufficient drawdown allowance remains after a payout is requested, because the daily loss limit resets back to the initial balance at that point.
Biggest loss against biggest win
The largest single loss must not exceed the largest single win. Where that condition is not met, trading must continue until it is satisfied.
2 minute average duration
The average duration of all trades must exceed 2 minutes, which is intended to prevent tick scalping and high frequency manipulation. Profit made within 2 minutes on an Instant account is deducted from the balance at payout.
The Legacy, Swift and Flagship evaluation and funded accounts are not subject to a consistency score.
Prop Trading Rules
Trading conditions and rules for prop accounts
Equity Edge runs its evaluations and funded accounts in a simulated environment on MetaTrader 5 and Match-Trader. The trading rules below apply across the Legacy, Swift and Flagship programs and, where noted, differ on Instant accounts.
News trading
Holding positions through high impact news is permitted on every program. What is restricted is opening or closing around the release, and the blackout window depends on the program:
- Legacy and Swift: no trade may be opened or closed 2 minutes before or 2 minutes after a high impact news event.
- Flagship: a 5 minute window before and after. This restriction does not apply during the evaluation phase of Flagship challenges.
- Instant: an 8 minute window before and after.
The restriction covers every order type, including manual entries and exits, pending orders, stop losses and take profits. USD high impact releases restrict all pairs, while non USD releases restrict only the pairs and indices tied to that currency. During speeches the window opens before the speech begins and closes after it ends.
Weekend and overnight holding
- Legacy, Swift and Flagship: positions may be held overnight and over the weekend.
- Instant: holding over the weekend is prohibited. Trades left open at market close are closed automatically, and violating the rule leads to account suspension.
- Cryptocurrency trading is not available over the weekend.
Expert Advisors and automation
Expert Advisors and trade copiers are not permitted. Use of them leads to evaluation denial, payout denial and account closure. Signal bots and trade management services are likewise not allowed.
Copy trading
Copying from external sources, other groups, other traders or third party accounts is not allowed. Copy trading is permitted only between a maximum of two Equity Edge challenge accounts, and it is prohibited outright on Instant accounts. Overlapping trades on the same asset are treated as copy trading whether or not they are placed at the same moment and whether or not an Expert Advisor is involved.
Prohibited strategies
The firm prohibits exploiting unrealistic prices, arbitrage, latency trading, gap trading, high frequency trading, reverse trading, one sided betting, hedging and group hedging, toxic order flow, martingale, excessive risk taking, overtrading, order book spamming and tick scalping. Placing many trades within seconds of one another is treated as spamming and breaches the account.
Trade duration
The average duration of all trades must exceed 2 minutes. Profit made on trades held under 2 minutes is deducted at payout.
Firm Rules
Guidelines and restrictions for funded accounts
Beyond the drawdown and profit target maths, these are the account level rules that can breach or terminate an Equity Edge account.
Capital allocation limits
The maximum capital allocation across funded accounts is $200,000, subject to program caps: Instant accounts up to $300,000, Flagship accounts up to $200,000, combined Legacy and Swift accounts up to $100,000, and combined Flagship, Legacy and Swift up to $200,000. The limit counts passed challenge accounts where a contract has not yet been issued, but there is no cap on the value of active challenge accounts. Account merging is not permitted.
Account identity
- Multiple accounts may be held under one email address. Using several email addresses to buy additional accounts is not permitted.
- Account credentials must not be altered. Any attempt to change them suspends the account.
- The region of the IP address used to purchase and to log in is matched against trading activity.
- Payments from third party cards or accounts are refused. Where one is detected the payout request is rejected, the account is disabled and future access may be restricted permanently.
Inactivity
There is no inactivity rule on 1-Step and 2-Step accounts, which may be purchased and traded at the trader's own pace. An Instant account that has been traded at least once and then sits inactive for more than 30 days is terminated. Instant accounts that have never been traded are not affected.
Instant account risk limit
A 1% maximum risk rule applies to Instant accounts. Floating loss on open trades, including commission and swap, must not fall below 1% of the initial account balance, and the loss on any individual closed trade must not exceed 1% of the initial balance. Profit on open trades does not offset losses on other open trades, and partial losses count toward the total for that trade. Breaching the rule closes the account immediately.
Platform availability
MetaTrader 5 is not available to residents of the United States and Canada, and Match-Trader is not available in Poland. Trading on a platform from within a restricted country breaches the terms and disables the account.
Passing and funding
Once a profit target is reached, the risk team manually reviews the full evaluation period and concludes within 3 working days. A 2-Step Phase 2 account is issued within about 2 hours of passing Phase 1. Instant account holders sign an external analyst agreement before receiving credentials.
Fees
All sales are final and no refund is issued. Free retakes and free trials are not offered. Simulated losses are never charged to the trader.
Giveaway and promotional accounts
Accounts won through a giveaway, and the free account in a buy one get one offer, are disabled once a first payout has been received on them.
