One-Step Evaluation Rules

Achieve a net profit of 10% on your starting account balance to qualify for a funded account. For a ₹5 Lakh account, that means ₹50,000 in net profit. The target must be reached while keeping all other rules intact — a high profit alone is not sufficient to pass.

You cannot lose more than 2% of your account balance in a single trading day. This is calculated from your account balance at the start of that day. On a ₹10 Lakh account, just ₹20,000 in losses on one day will immediately fail the evaluation — no exceptions.

Your account equity must never fall more than 5% below the original starting balance — at any point, including open positions. This is a real-time check. Three consecutive bad days of 2% loss each will breach the overall drawdown and fail the account immediately.

At least one trade must be executed on 5 different calendar days. Hitting the profit target in fewer than 5 days will not qualify you — the evaluation continues until the day count is met. Consistency is verified, not just profitability.

There is no expiry on the 1-Step evaluation. You may take as many days as needed to reach the profit target. Trade at your own pace — whether that takes 2 weeks or 6 months. The only deadline is the one you set for yourself.

Leverage is capped at the maximum permitted by NSE/BSE under SEBI regulations — no additional margin will be provided. For F&O, standard SPAN + Exposure margin rules apply as defined by the exchange. This is strictly enforced across both evaluation and funded accounts.

No single open position may use more than 80% of total account capital at any time. This applies to all instruments — equity and F&O. Going all-in on a single trade is a direct violation and will fail the account regardless of the trade outcome.

You may trade equity stocks, index & stock options (both buying and writing), and futures listed on NSE/BSE. There are no lot size restrictions — trade as many lots as needed as long as risk rules are not breached.

Both intraday and swing trading styles are permitted. You are not required to close positions by end of day — overnight holding of equity and F&O positions is allowed. Trade in a style that suits your strategy, subject to the overnight risk rules in the T&C.

Trading is not permitted 5 minutes before or after any major scheduled market event — including RBI policy decisions, Union Budget, SEBI announcements, and company earnings releases. You will receive an automated SMS and email alert 30 minutes before each restricted window. Trades placed during these windows will be voided.

Each trade must be held for a minimum of 45 seconds. High-frequency scalping strategies that open and close positions in seconds are a violation of this rule and will fail the evaluation.

No single trading day's profit can exceed 20% of your total accumulated profits at that point. For example, if your total profit is ₹10,000, you cannot book more than ₹2,000 on any one day. Any excess profit from that day will be excluded from the final calculation. This rule resets daily against the updated total.

You keep 80% of all profits on your funded account. FundedStock retains 20% as its share. There is no cap on earnings — the more consistent your trading, the more you take home.

Payout requests are available every 14 days, provided you have traded on at least 5 days within that cycle. Processing takes 3–5 business days. Minimum payout amount is ₹2,000.

Your full evaluation fee is automatically refunded on your 3rd successful payout — provided each payout meets the 5 trading day minimum and ₹2,000 threshold. The refund is credited alongside your 3rd disbursement.

Every position on the live funded account must have a stop loss set at the time of entry. This rule does not apply during evaluation, but is strictly enforced once you go live. Positions without a stop loss will be flagged and may be force-closed.

The 2% daily loss limit carries into the funded account. Breaching this triggers an automatic account suspension. Protecting capital on live accounts is non-negotiable.

The overall drawdown limit on funded accounts is tightened to 4% from the original account balance. This is stricter than the 5% in evaluation. Breaching this results in immediate account termination with no reinstatement.

The 45-second minimum holding time per trade rule carries over to the live funded account. Trades closed before this window are a compliance violation and may lead to profit reversal or account suspension.
