Minimum holding time and the scalp limit

Every position must stay open for at least 3 minutes, or 30 seconds if you bought the Scalping add-on. Shorter trades are tracked as scalping.

Winning trades closed under the minimum time add up to your scalp profit. It must stay below your account's scalp limit:

Your scalp profit is shown on your dashboard.

  • Evaluation: an isolated short trade under the limit is a soft breach; the team may reset your account. Scalp profit above the limit, or short trades throughout the challenge, is a hard breach.

  • Funded: every trade under the minimum time (winning or losing) is a violation and a soft breach. If scalp profit exceeds the limit, the account is reset and the current cycle's profit is forfeited.

Example: $25,000 account without the add-on. Three trades closed after 40 seconds made $90, $70 and $60. Your scalp profit is $220, still under the $300 limit.
