Prop-Firm Terms & Condition
Our Prop Rules establish a transparent framework for risk management, profit targets, and permitted trading styles to ensure a professional and sustainable funding environment for all traders.
Trading Objectives & Funding Framework
Precision is the key to elite trading. Our rules are designed to provide a transparent and structured path to professional capital, ensuring a fair environment for every dedicated trader.
Financial Compliance: To facilitate secure transactions, including live capital allocation and profit disbursements, users are required to complete a mandatory identity validation through the member portal.
Eligibility Criteria: Participation in our programs is restricted to professional traders aged 18 and above.
Data Integrity: Users are responsible for ensuring all profile details match their official documentation. Any discrepancies must be reported to our compliance desk immediately to avoid account suspension.
Verification Credentials: The following authenticators are required: A personal mobile line, a government-issued photo ID (Passport/National ID), and a real-time verification selfie with said document.
Authorized Access: Trading rights and account management are strictly non-transferable and must be handled exclusively by the verified individual using their personal infrastructure.
- Simultaneous Account Limit: Traders are permitted to maintain a maximum of two (2) active accounts at any given time.
Maximum Capital Exposure: The total cumulative funding for all active plans held by a single individual must not exceed $250,000. It is strictly prohibited for accounts under the management of one trader to surpass this threshold under any circumstances or methods.
Compliance Oversight: Managing multiple accounts that collectively exceed the authorized capital ceiling will be flagged as a primary policy violation, leading to account review or termination.
Account Aggregation (Merging): Consolidation of accounts is exclusively available for Live Funded (Real)accounts, allowing traders to merge multiple successful accounts into a single managed equity base.
Traders intending to operate as a collective unit must obtain prior authorization by submitting a formal coordination ticket to our Technical Support, listing all associated account numbers.
Manual Execution Mandate: Collaborative trading must be performed exclusively through manual execution. The use of synchronization software, trade-copying EAs, or any automated mirroring tools within a group is strictly prohibited.
Strategic Divergence Rule: To preserve the integrity of individual market analysis, trading parameters—including entry coordinates, Take Profit, and Stop Loss levels—must maintain a minimum of 10% variance. A correlation or overlap exceeding 90% across group accounts is considered a policy violation.
Cumulative Capital Ceiling: * The aggregate initial funding for accounts operating within a group is capped at a maximum of $300,000 for Evaluation phases.
For Direct Funded (Instant) accounts, the total collective exposure limit is restricted to $200,000.
Strategy Restrictions: We prioritize manual trading expertise; therefore, fully automated EAs and algorithmic bots are prohibited. Similarly, mirroring trades between accounts of different individuals—whether internal or via external platforms—is strictly disallowed. However, Cross-Account Syncing is permitted only between accounts owned by a single trader.
Assistance Tools: Management utilities designed for manual risk calculation (e.g., Trading Board) are authorized for use.
Fair Play Policy: Systems exploiting price discrepancies or latency (Arbitrage) are barred as they do not reflect genuine market skill.
Coordinated Operations: Group-based trading requires prior authorization via a technical support ticket.
Manual Execution: Coordinated accounts must be traded manually without synchronization software.
Strategic Divergence: To ensure diversity, trade parameters (Entry/TP/SL) across a group must maintain at least a 10% variance (maximum 90% overlap).
Exposure Limits: Combined group capital is capped at $300k for evaluations and $200k for direct funded accounts.
- Total Loss Benchmark: The Maximum Account Drawdown is anchored to the Starting Balance of the challenge. This threshold is fixed according to the specific plan architecture.
Daily Risk Ceiling: Each trading day, a loss limit is established based on the Opening Balance. This ensures a disciplined approach to daily risk exposure.
Standardized Rules: These risk parameters remain constant, providing a seamless transition from the Assessment phases to the Funded Professional stage.
Valuation Basis: Drawdown monitoring is dynamic, utilizing Balance or Equity (whichever represents the deeper drawdown) to maintain strict capital protection.
Cycle Reset: The daily risk window resets at 00:00 UTC, aligned with the global financial server time.
Evaluation Benchmarks: To successfully complete the assessment phases, traders must reach a specific profit milestone (e.g., 8% to 10%) without violating any risk parameters.
No Time Constraints: We prioritize quality over speed. Traders can take as much time as needed to reach their profit targets; there are no maximum day requirements.
Funded Stage (Live): Once you transition to a Live Account, the profit target is removed. You are then eligible to withdraw your share of the profits based on your specific plan's payout cycle.
Profit Integrity: Only closed positions contribute toward the profit target. Floating profits are not counted until the trades are officially closed.
- Nature of Execution: Slippage is a standard market phenomenon where an order is executed at a price different from the requested value. This typically occurs during periods of low liquidity or extreme volatility, such as major news events and market openings/gaps.
Execution Realities: While our systems strive for the best possible execution, please be aware that Buy/Sell stops and Stop Loss orders are not guaranteed at the exact requested price during volatile conditions. They will be filled at the next available market price.
Trader Accountability: Vertu does not provide compensation for slippage, as it is a reflection of real-market dynamics. We encourage traders to use appropriate risk management and avoid high-risk entries during expected volatile periods.
Positive vs. Negative Slippage: Slippage can occur in both directions. While it may sometimes result in a less favorable price, it can also work in the trader's favor (positive slippage) depending on the market's momentum.
Timeless Progression: We have eliminated the stress of deadlines. Traders can complete both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the evaluation at their own pace, with no maximum time limits.
Unlimited Trading Days: There is no expiration date on your challenge account as long as the inactivity rule is respected. You are free to wait for the perfect market setups without the pressure of a ticking clock.
Phase Transition: Once the profit target for each phase is achieved and all trading objectives are met, you can transition to the next stage regardless of how much time has passed.
While we strongly advocate for professional risk management, the use of a hard Stop Loss (SL) is not mandatory for every position. Traders have the autonomy to manage their exits based on their own strategy.
Risk Advisory: Although not compulsory, we highly recommend utilizing Stop Loss orders to protect your account against sudden market volatility and to stay within the daily and overall drawdown limits.
- Individual Trading Mandate: To ensure the integrity of our evaluation process, every account must be traded exclusively by the registered account holder. We seek to fund individual talent, not automated systems or external managers.
Prohibited Management Services: Entrusting your account credentials to third-party management services, "pass-your-challenge" agencies, or professional account managers is strictly forbidden. Any account identified as being managed by an external entity will be permanently deactivated.
Signal Services & Mirroring: While traders may use educational resources, the use of automated signal-following services or "copy-paste" trading from external sources that results in identical trading patterns with other users is prohibited.
Zero Tolerance for Proxy Trading: Any evidence of Proxy Trading (trading on behalf of someone else) will lead to immediate forfeiture of the account and any accrued profits, without eligibility for a refund.
To successfully validate your trading expertise, a net profit milestone of 8% is required during the evaluation phase. Only closed positions contribute to this target.

The purpose of this rule is to ensure stable trading performance and to prevent profits generated from a single trade or a small group of trades.
Accordingly, a trader must not achieve 80% or more of the profit target or withdrawn profit from a single trade, or from multiple trades that are in the same direction, executed simultaneously, and on the same instrument.
If such a situation occurs, the account will be considered non-compliant with the consistency criteria, and the trader is required to continue trading until profits are properly distributed across multiple independent trades over a reasonable period of time.
The objective of this rule is to evaluate the trader’s true skill in risk management, consistent decision-making, and the ability to generate sustainable profits under varying market conditions, rather than relying on the outcome of a single trading opportunity.
To progress through the evaluation, traders must achieve a profit target of 8% in Phase 1 and 5% in Phase 2. These milestones ensure a consistent performance before moving to the live environment.
