Instant Funding Plus.

The Instant Plus Account offers a 80/20 profit split, which is maintained only if traders follow the Shield Risk Protocol.

This rule limits floating equity loss (i.e., unrealized losses from open positions) to 1% of the account balance at all times.

For instance:
$100,000 account → max floating loss: $1,000
$50,000 account → max floating loss: $500.

If floating loss exceeds this limit, all positions auto-close and the profit split is reduced.

Profit Split Reductions
Violation penalties stack progressively:
1st → 50/50
2nd → 40/60
3rd → 30/70
4th → permanently 20/80

Examples
Staying compliant: A position floating –$500 on a $100K account is fine (below $1,000).
First breach: If floating loss hits –$1,700 (above $1,000), the trade closes and the split drops to 50/50.
Multiple breaches: 1st = 50/50 → 2nd = 40/60 → 3rd = 30/70 → 4th = locked at 20/80.

Why It Matters
The Shield rule enforces disciplined risk management, prevents deep drawdowns, protects capital, and preserves access to the highest performance reward structure.

Note:
The Floating Loss Limit is monitored in real time by the Company’s systems.

In cases where a trade is closed above the floating loss limit, including but not limited to situations caused by:

- System detection or processing delays,
- Market slippage at the time of closure, or
- The trade being closed immediately before the system registers a breach of the floating loss limit,

The profit split reduction model will be applied in accordance with the Floating Limit rules.

The Maximum Daily Drawdown Limit is 3% of the Initial Balance.

Example 1:
For a $100,000 Instant Funding Plus Account, the Daily Drawdown is 3% of the Initial Balance.

Day 1:
Starting Balance/Equity: $100,000
Allowed Daily Drawdown: 3% of $100,000 = $3,000 (stop-out limit = $97,000)

Example 2:
Day 2:
End of Day Balance (Day 1): $104,000
End of Day Equity (Day 1): $103,000

At 5 PM EST, if unrealised positions are open, then 3% of Initial balance will be deducted from the higher of the two. In Example 2 above since balance is higher than Equity, the stop out limit will become ($104,000 – (3% of 100,000)) = $104,000 – $3,000 = $101,000

If either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Daily Drawdown Limit.

Example 3:
Day 3:
End of Day Balance (Day 2): $101,000
End of Day Equity (Day 2): $106,000

In Example 3 above, since Equity is higher than Balance, the stop-out limit will become:
$106,000 – (3% of $100,000) = $106,000 – $3,000 = $103,000

Since the Balance of $101,000 is lower than the limit of $103,000, this will cause an immediate breach of the Daily Drawdown Limit.

The Overall Drawdown Limit for the Instant Funding Plus Account is 6% from the Highest Recorded Balance.

Key Points to Understand:

• Trailing Overall Drawdown: The Overall Drawdown is calculated based on your account’s Highest Balance (Maximum Balance Watermark) and does not reset daily at 5 PM EST. It consistently trails at 6% of the INITIAL BALANCE from the Highest Recorded Balance.
• Fixed Drawdown After Profit: Once the account achieves a 6% profit, the Overall Drawdown Limit is fixed based on the Initial Account size, and the highest recorded balance no longer affects the limit.

Example 1:
Start of Day 1:
Starting Balance/Equity: $100,000
Initial Overall Drawdown: 6% of $100,000, which means the stop-out limit is set at $94,000. If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Overall Drawdown Limit.

During Day 1:
New Balance: $103,000
Overall Drawdown: $103,000 – (6% of $100,000 = $6,000), so the new stop-out limit is $97,000. If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Overall Drawdown Limit.

Day 2:
Starting Balance/Equity: $101,000
Allowed Overall Drawdown: The stop-out limit remains at $97,000 as it is based on the highest balance of $103,000. If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Overall Drawdown Limit.

Example 2: After Achieving 6% Profit
Day 3:
Starting Balance/Equity: $106,000
Overall Drawdown: Fixed at $100,000 after achieving 6% profit (Overall Drawdown Limit becomes $100,000). If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Overall Drawdown Limit.

Important points to note when Requesting a Reward from an Instant Funding Plus Account:

• 1. Impact of Less Than 6% Profit on Overall Trailing Drawdown Limit:
  Calculation: If the profit is below 6%, the trailing drawdown limit is 6% from the Highest Recorded Balance.

Example 1: (Less Than 6% Profit)
Account Size: $100,000
Current Profit: 4% ($4,000)
Highest Recorded Balance: $105,000
Trailing Drawdown Calculation: $105,000 – (6% of $100,000) = $99,000

Scenario 1: Full Withdrawal of Profits
Withdrawal Amount: $4,000
Remaining Daily Limit: $100,000 (balance reset) – $99,000 = $1,000

Scenario 2: Partial Withdrawal of Profits
Withdrawal Amount: $2,000
Available Drawdown: $3,000

• 2. Effect of Profit of 6% and above on Overall Trailing Drawdown Limit
  Calculation: If the profit is 6% or higher, the trailing drawdown limit is fixed at the initial balance.

Example 2: (6% Profit Achieved)
Account Size: $100,000
Current Profit: 6% ($6,000)
Trailing Drawdown Fixed at Initial Balance: $100,000

Scenario 1: Full Withdrawal of Profits
Withdrawal Amount: $6,000
Remaining Overall Limit: $100,000 (balance reset) – $100,000 (fixed limit) = $0
Result: Breach of account due to no remaining drawdown limit.

Scenario 2: Partial Withdrawal of Profits
Withdrawal Amount: $4,000 Instead of $6,000
Available Drawdown: $2,000 ($106,000 – $104,000)
Result: No breach of account and the remaining Overall Drawdown Limit becomes $2,000 ($102,000 – $100,000)

There’s a consistency rule for Instant Funding Accounts.

Why this Rule?

Funded Trader Markets’ Consistency Rule promotes steady profit growth and helps traders avoid emotional trading

Important Details About the Consistency Rule For Instant Funding Accounts

In an Instant Simulated Funding Account; you should not have made more than 15% of the total profit in one day.

If a single day’s profit is more than 15% of your total profit in the Instant Funding Account , you will have to continue trading until there isn’t a day with more than 15%.

Calculation

[Best Day % of Total Profit] = [Best Day Profit] ÷ [Overall Profit] * 100

Best Day Profit means the highest single day profit.

Single Day’s Profit = Balance at 5pm est Today – Balance at 5pm est Yesterday

Example (Instant Funding Account)

If you made a total profit of $10,000 on an Instant Funding Account,

To be eligible for withdrawal, there should not have been a single day with more than 15% of $10,000 (= $1,500).

If there is a single day with more than 15% of total profit, then you have to keep on trading until the best day profit is less than 15% of the total profit.
