ALL RULES

On all models, we allow EAs, HFT and copiers. You can hold trades over night and over the weekend, and even trade on weekends in the crypto markets that the broker offers.

Traditional, Premier and Empire RULES

  1. Do not hit MAX DRAWDOWN level. On each model page you will find a button link to the Payout Matrix. This shows what the max drawdown is for each model, type and level. There is no daily drawdown, just an absolute drawdown based on the initial account opening balance.

  2. Use it or lose it. This means if no execution occurs over 42 consecutive days (6 weeks) the account will be closed.
    If you require your account to be put on hold – please email us at admin@theconcepttrading.com requesting the temporary hold of this clause.

90% Lock Rule

Get Paid Weekly. No Target. Just Trade and Take Home 90% of your trading profits.

The 90% Lock rule is where you can choose to lock your account to a level and receive 90% of profit from that point on.

The Lock Rule is available for all prop models. 

However, the Lock Rule is not available on Intern levels.

To activate the Lock Rule on a Level or Funded level you are comfortable with, you first must hit the target of that Level and be paid its usual relevant advertised percentage profit split. You then simply contact us requesting the Lock Rule and your account will remain on that level.

For example, you may be on Level 4 and feel that is enough for you if you were to get 90% of the profits. Selecting the Lock Rule then locks your account at Level 4 and you do not get to scale higher but you get 90% of profits you make on this level.

Note that once you elect the Lock Rule, the account cannot be scaled to any higher Levels or increased funding.

Frequently Asked Questions

All programs start on 50% profit share arrangement, even on the Intern Level. On the top level of your program you get 90% of the profit. Or you can opt for the 90% Lock Rule which allows you to receive 90% of the profit you make trading on that level you lock to.

Once you have hit the target you will be paid, whether that is in 4 days or 4 weeks, soon as target is reached, the profits will be paid. Or once a month you can request a payout before you hit target as long as the payout is over $100.

This is a static 10% of the account opening balance on the Intern Level and 5% on all other Levels. For example, if you make 3% on a trade on the Intern Level, then you will have 13% available as total draw down.

No. But you do need to consider the impact your size will have on the market. Even in the very liquid market of FX that trades in trillions a day, large orders can move the market several pips and that can be costly when trying to enter or exit the market. When you are on the higher levels this will be very relevant to you and you should consider splitting the trade into smaller pieces so the market can soak up your size without being pushed too far in price.

No – our accounts are designed to give traders access to real trading capital with generous profit share percentages.

All Intern Levels are on demo server. Every level above Intern is on live accounts and trading real funds in the real FX ECN marketplace.

No but Risk Management and correct lot sizing is a cornerstone to success and longevity in trading financial markets. We suggest you risk no more than 1% of your total equity balance on any single trade. We also strongly suggest you always trade with a stop loss.

 

Further, if you trade with large risk and no stop loss and you lose the account by hitting max draw down, management will not look favourably on allowing you back into the program.

Target for profit split and to qualify for the next level of funding is 7% on all levels on all programs.

No. There is no time limit for you to reach the target. If you reach the target in 1 week or 1 year, there is no penalty or issue with us.

 

We do however have an inactivity clause as we do want you to be consistently working and scanning the markets for opportunities. Like everyone, we want our money to work for us. Therefore if the account is inactive, not traded, for 6 consecutive weeks it will be closed.

 

If the account does hit the draw down limit, or is inactive for 6 consecutive weeks, it will be closed. This can happen to any account on any program on any level. If this does happen, you will have 30 days from the closure date to re-apply to receive a potential discount of up to 50%, subject to management approval. If your application for an account is after that 30 days, then full rack rate will apply. All applications to re-enter the program will commence from the Intern level again.

You will need to pass AML/CTF laws and provide Identification. 99% of people will be able to do this. You will need to sign a Service Agreement and provide proof of identification and ownership of the bank account that you nominate your profits to be paid into. This must be completed before you receive your first payout.
