1. It’s All About Discipline And Consistency.

No need to rush, you don’t build a life in a day. There is plenty of time to pass the evaluation successfully, being dynamic is crucial.

2. Trading Behaviour and Rules

Terms of Use – MetafundFX

At MetafundFX, we offer a proprietary trading evaluation program designed to identify and support skilled traders. Our evaluation consists of two phases: Student and Practitioner. To become a funded trader, you must successfully pass both phases while demonstrating a structured trading approach and proper risk management. Upon reaching the profit target in Phase 2, your entire evaluation period will be reviewed by our Risk Team within two business days.

In the event of a breach of any of the outlined rules, all open positions will be closed immediately, the trader’s account will be terminated, and any potential rewards will be revoked.

2.1. The Student Phase (Phase I)

The Student Phase is designed to assess your trading abilities and establish your identity as a trader. You must achieve an 8% profit target while adhering to all rules and completing a minimum of 3 trading days.

2.2. The Practitioner Phase (Phase II)

The Practitioner Phase serves to validate the consistency of your trading. You must achieve a 5% profit target, maintain compliance with all trading rules, and complete a minimum of 3 trading days.

2.3. 5% Maximum Daily Loss Limit

The Maximum Daily Loss represents the maximum loss permitted within a single trading day. It is calculated based on the higher value between equity and balance. This limit is set at 5% of the initial account balance per day. The daily loss limit resets at 00:00 CE(S)T/server time.

2.4. 10% Maximum Loss Limit

The Maximum Loss Limit is the threshold below which your equity or balance cannot fall. This rule is set at 10% of the initial account size. For example, on a $100,000 account, your balance or equity must never drop below $90,000.

2.5. Holding Trades During News and Over the Weekend

2.5.1. During the Evaluation (Student and Practitioner Phases)

You are allowed to hold trades over the weekend and trade during news events.

You are allowed to hold trades during news events and over the weekend. However, profits from trades executed within 5 minutes before and after a high-impact news event will not be counted unless the trade was initiated at least 5 hours before the event. If any violations occur due to profit deductions, the trader remains responsible. Our system monitors these events using Forex Factory as the primary news calendar.

MetafundFX does not support intentional news trading, and engaging in such activities will result in account termination.

Toxic Trading Flow: Safeguarding Your Investments and Our Firm
At MetaFundFX, we understand that trading can be thrilling, but it’s important to stay grounded in fundamental principles and responsible risk management. Toxic trading poses a significant risk not only to individual accounts but also to the stability of proprietary trading firms. We’re committed to promoting responsible trading by shedding light on toxic trading behaviors, their risks, and the importance of adhering to well-thought-out strategies.

What is Toxic Trading?

Toxic trading refers to reckless risk-taking, impulsive decision-making, and a disregard for key trading principles. This type of behavior is detrimental to both the trader’s account and the overall stability of trading firms. Toxic trading takes many forms, with some of the most common behaviors outlined below.

Excessive Risk-Taking (Over-Leveraging)
Engaging in trades with disproportionately high risk compared to the trader’s capital or risk tolerance is a hallmark of toxic trading. This often includes over-leveraging, which can amplify both gains and losses. For 2-Step Master accounts, trading with excessive lots relative to the account size—exceeding the Maximum Lot Exposure Limit—can also lead to significant risk. Refer to the “Maximum Lot Exposure Limit” section for more details on lot exposure limits for different account sizes.
Maximum Lot Exposure Limit per Account Size (for 2-Step Master Accounts):

• $25,000 = Max 10 lots
• $50,000 = Max 20 lots
• $100,000 = Max 40 lots

No limit applies to 5,000 and 10,000 2-Step Master accounts.
Important: The Maximum Lot Exposure Limit only applies to open trades, not a daily limit. Exceeding this limit will result in profit deductions and, in severe cases, account closure and a 30% performance commission fee.

Gambling Behavior

Toxic trading often mimics gambling behavior, where traders make impulsive decisions driven by emotions, rather than rational analysis. Pursuing losses or chasing risky trades can lead to destructive outcomes. A healthy trading strategy should never involve risking more than 3% of your account size on any single trade.

Overtrading

Overtrading involves constantly entering and exiting trades without a clear strategy, leading to diminished profitability and emotional exhaustion. Consistency and discipline are key to profitable trading, and MetaFundFX encourages traders to stick to their strategies and avoid overtrading.

High-Frequency Trading (HFT) & Tick Scalping

Engaging in rapid, excessive trading can lead to high volatility and significant losses. Tick scalping and high-frequency trading strategies are often associated with toxic trading behavior, as they may rely on tiny price movements that can quickly turn against the trader.

Arbitrage

Arbitrage strategies are typically considered toxic due to their speculative nature. These strategies include:
Hedge Arbitrage: Entering opposing positions with different firms.
Latency Arbitrage: Exploiting execution time differences between platforms to profit from price disparities.
At MetaFundFX, we discourage such practices due to their lack of fundamental strategy.

Poor Money Management

Inadequate risk management—like failing to properly fund accounts or taking overly risky positions—can lead to margin calls and jeopardize both individual accounts and the firm’s overall stability. Proper money management is vital to ensure long-term success in trading.

Behavioral Patterns

Inconsistent trading behaviors, such as making trades during illiquid market hours or ignoring sound risk management principles, can signal toxic trading. Emotional decision-making and neglecting strategy often lead to significant losses.

Reverse Trading

Reverse trading, where a trader risks their entire daily loss limit on one trade or switches between firms in an erratic manner, is another form of toxic behavior. This creates unnecessary risks and undermines sound trading practices.

Managing Toxic Trading Behavior

To preserve both individual and firm stability, traders exhibiting toxic behaviors may face several restrictions, including:

• Reduced leverage
• Limits on the number of trades per day
• Limits on lot size
• Daily/max loss restrictions
• Imposing a 1% risk limit per trade
• Temporary or permanent bans from the firm

At MetaFundFX, we aim to support traders in becoming better risk managers while benefiting from the flow of data they provide. Our goal is to gather high-quality trading data to optimize profitability and strengthen the industry as a whole.
