Trading Rules
What is the consistency rule?
No more than 40% of total profits can be generated in a single trading day. Profits must be spread across multiple trading days to be eligible for payout.
How is daily profit limit calculated?
The system compares today’s profit to your total account profit. If today’s profit exceeds 40%, it will trigger a dashboard warning and may affect your payout eligibility.
What are maximum drawdowns?
Each account has defined drawdown limits. Exceeding these limits may result in account disqualification from the evaluation program.
Can I trade during high-impact news events?
It is prohibited to open or close trades 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after a high-impact news event. This restriction applies to both market orders and pending orders (including stop-loss or take-profit activations). You may hold existing positions during the event, but you may not initiate or close trades within this time window.
What trading times are allowed?
Wolforix allows trading during standard market hours depending on the instrument traded.
General Rule
- Trading is available 24 hours, 5 days a week (Monday to Friday) in line with global market sessions.
- Availability may vary depending on the instrument, including Forex, indices, crypto, and other CFDs.

Restrictions

Which trading strategies are allowed?
Wolforix allows discretionary trading, algorithmic trading, and Expert Advisors (EAs), as long as strategies are legitimate, reflect real market conditions, align with sound risk management, and do not involve prohibited practices.
Strategies must be replicable under real market conditions and capable of producing consistent live results.
Trading Conditions
- Stop Loss is not mandatory, but risk control is strongly recommended.
- Trading must reflect realistic execution behavior and market conditions.
- Strategies must be scalable and suitable for live capital.
Expert Advisors (EAs) & Algorithmic Trading
- EAs are permitted.
- Third-party EA duplication may conflict with internal risk management.

- Platform activity must remain within reasonable limits.
- Excessive order placement, modification, or server overload may require strategy adjustments.
Server & Execution Limits

- Daily execution limits may be enforced.
- Excessive trading frequency may trigger review.

Scalping & Trade Duration Policy
- Trades closed in less than 60 seconds are strictly prohibited if they result in profit.

- Standard scalping is allowed if trade duration reflects genuine market exposure.
- Wolforix may exclude such trades from profit calculations or take further action if repeated.
Prohibited Trading Practices
If prohibited activity is found, Wolforix may remove or adjust positions, rebalance the account, reduce leverage, suspend or terminate the account, or end cooperation with the trader.
If you trade with genuine intent, a clear edge, and consistent rule-compliant behavior, Wolforix remains aligned with your success.
Are hedging across accounts and copy trading allowed?
Hedging across multiple accounts and unauthorized copy trading are strictly prohibited in Wolforix.
What is Hedging?
Hedging refers to taking opposite positions on the same or correlated instruments across multiple accounts to artificially reduce risk.
This behavior guarantees that one account profits regardless of market direction and is considered system manipulation, not genuine trading.
What is Copy Trading?
Copy trading refers to replicating trades between multiple accounts, whether manually, through software, signals, or third-party services.
- Copying trades between your own accounts.
- Copying trades between different users.
- Using signal groups, bots, or automation to mirror trades.
- Coordinated trading designed to bypass rules.
Examples of Prohibited Activity
- Opening long and short positions on the same instrument across different accounts.
- Hedging between accounts owned by the same user.
- Hedging between coordinated users.
- Hedging across different firms or platforms.
- Trading correlated instruments in opposite directions across accounts.
- Copying or mirroring trades between accounts, manually or automatically.
- Using trade copier software or signal services to replicate trades.
Examples
- Long EURUSD in one account and short EURUSD in another.
- Long SPX500 in one account and short NDX100 in another.
- Executing identical trades across multiple accounts at the same time.
- Using a bot or signal provider to replicate trades across accounts.
What is Allowed?
- Independent trading decisions per account.
- Use of personal strategies not shared across multiple accounts.
- Proper risk management within a single account.
Important Clarification
- Opening opposite positions within the same account may be technically possible in MT5, but strategies designed to bypass risk rules are not allowed.
- Using automation is allowed only if it reflects independent trading logic, not trade replication.
- All trading must reflect real, independent decision-making and market exposure.
Detection & Monitoring
- Wolforix uses internal systems to detect hedging patterns.
- Wolforix monitors trade synchronization.
- Wolforix monitors identical execution behavior across accounts.
- Wolforix monitors copy trading activity.
Consequences
- Wolforix may remove or adjust trades.

- Wolforix may restrict or permanently ban the user.
Why is this Prohibited?
- Hedging and copy trading misrepresent actual trading skill.
- Hedging and copy trading eliminate real risk exposure.
- Hedging and copy trading undermine the evaluation process.
- Hedging and copy trading threaten platform integrity.
Is high-frequency trading (HFT) allowed?
High-frequency trading (HFT) is strictly prohibited in Wolforix.
What is High-Frequency Trading?
High-frequency trading (HFT) refers to automated strategies that execute a large number of trades within extremely short timeframes, often measured in seconds or milliseconds.
These strategies are typically designed to exploit small price inefficiencies using speed and high order volume.
What is Considered HFT?
- Executing a high volume of trades in very short periods.
- Rapid order placement and cancellation.
- Excessive modifications of orders.
- Ultra-fast algorithmic execution patterns.
- Trading behavior that places abnormal load on the platform.
Important Clarification
- Algorithmic trading and EAs are allowed.
- Strategies must operate within normal trading frequency and realistic execution behavior.
- Any system designed primarily for speed exploitation rather than market analysis is not allowed.
Why is HFT Prohibited?
Wolforix is designed to evaluate skill and consistency, not speed-based system exploitation.
- HFT can degrade platform performance.
- HFT can create execution instability.
- HFT can affect pricing consistency.
- HFT can impact the trading environment for other users.
Detection & Monitoring
- Wolforix monitors trade frequency.
- Wolforix monitors order volume.
- Wolforix monitors execution patterns.
- Wolforix monitors server load impact.
Consequences
- A warning may be issued.
- Profits generated from HFT activity may be removed.
- The account may be restricted or closed.
- Repeated violations may result in a permanent ban.
Are duration abuse, grid trading, and martingale strategies allowed?
Wolforix strictly prohibits trading strategies that exploit risk structures or create unrealistic performance profiles, including duration abuse, grid trading, and martingale systems.
Duration Abuse
Duration abuse refers to systematically opening and closing trades in a way that bypasses intended risk exposure or trading rules, without genuine market participation.
All trades must reflect genuine market exposure and intent, not rule manipulation.
- Repeatedly opening and closing trades around the minimum duration threshold, for example just above 60 seconds.
- Executing trades with no real market intent, only to satisfy rule requirements.
- Artificial trade timing designed to bypass restrictions.
Grid Trading
Grid trading involves placing multiple pending or active orders at fixed price intervals, often without clear stop-loss logic.
- Grid systems without proper risk control are not allowed.
- High-density order stacking is not allowed.
- Strategies that rely on price oscillation without defined risk are not allowed.
Martingale Strategies
Martingale strategies involve increasing position size after losses in order to recover previous losses with a single winning trade.
- Doubling or increasing lot sizes after losses is not allowed.
- Recovery-based position sizing without risk limits is not allowed.
- Strategies that create exponential risk exposure are not allowed.
What is Allowed?
- Structured strategies with defined risk per trade.
- Logical position sizing.
- Consistent and controlled exposure.
- Use of stop-loss and proper risk management.
Detection & Monitoring
- Wolforix monitors trade duration patterns.
- Wolforix monitors position sizing behavior.
- Wolforix monitors order distribution.
- Wolforix monitors risk escalation patterns.
Consequences
- Wolforix may remove or adjust trades.
- Wolforix may recalculate account balance.
- Wolforix may restrict trading activity.
- Wolforix may suspend or terminate the account.
Why is this Prohibited?
- These strategies distort real trading performance.
- These strategies eliminate proper risk exposure.
- These strategies create unstable equity curves.
- These strategies are not sustainable under real market conditions.
Payouts
How often are payouts processed?
Commissions are paid upon request and are subject to review and approval by the Wolforix Partner Success Team. The first payout becomes eligible after 21 days, with subsequent payouts available in recurring 14-day cycles.
Once the required cycle period has been completed, payouts are processed within 24 hours.
To request a payout, please submit an email to support@wolforix.com once the minimum withdrawal threshold of $100 has been reached.

How is my payout calculated?
Payouts depend on the profit split assigned to your model and account size, model-specific payout timing, consistency-rule compliance where applicable, and internal payout limits. The amount eligible for withdrawal may be lower than total profits if daily limits are exceeded.
Do funded accounts scale?
2-Step funded accounts can scale by +25% capital every 3 months if profitable. 1-Step funded accounts do not currently include that scaling rule.
How does the account scaling plan work?
Wolforix applies a dynamic scaling system to funded accounts based on trading performance.
As your account grows, your maximum allowed position size increases progressively, allowing greater market exposure as consistency is demonstrated.
How the scaling system works
- Scaling is based on your simulated profits.
- As profits increase, your trading capacity increases.
- If performance declines, limits may be adjusted accordingly.
Update Frequency
- Scaling updates are applied at the end of each trading day.
- Changes are not applied in real time during the day.
Scaling Structure
The scaling model is designed to reward consistency, risk management, and sustainable performance.
Your maximum exposure evolves as your account demonstrates stability over time.
Important
- Scaling is not linear and may vary depending on account performance.
- Overexposure without sufficient performance may result in restrictions.
- The system prioritizes long-term consistency over short-term gains.
Circumventing the Scaling System
Any attempt to bypass or manipulate the scaling system is strictly prohibited.
- Splitting trades to exceed limits.
- Using multiple entries to artificially increase exposure.
- Exploiting execution behavior or platform mechanics.
Consequences
- Wolforix may adjust or remove trades.
- Wolforix may recalculate account balance.
- Wolforix may restrict trading conditions.
- Wolforix may suspend or terminate the account.
Summary
- Performance increases, trading capacity increases.
- Performance declines, limits may adjust.
- Scaling updates daily.
- Consistency is required.
