What are the trading rules every OFP trader must follow?

To keep the evaluation fair and professional, all OFP traders must follow a set of risk management rules and restrictions. Breaking these rules may result in account closure or loss of entitlement to payouts.

✅ Core Risk Management Rules

Maximum Daily Drawdown
- Your account equity must not drop more than the allowed daily percentage (e.g., 5%) from the highest balance of the day.
- Example: If your account hits $100,000 during the day, it cannot fall below $95,000 before the day ends.
Maximum Overall Drawdown
- Your account equity cannot fall below the agreed overall loss limit (e.g., 10%) from the last Reward or starting balance.
- Example: If your account was $200,000 at the last payout, it cannot drop below $180,000.
Inconsistency Score
- Your profit consistency is monitored. If most of your gains come from one single day or trade while the rest of your trading is unprofitable, your account may be considered inconsistent and payouts may be withheld.

❌ Prohibited Strategies

You must not engage in strategies or behaviors that exploit the platform or create unfair risk, including but not limited to:

Exploiting price display errors or delayed feeds.
Using external price feeds or arbitrage between accounts.
Opening opposite positions in the same or related accounts.
Using AI bots, high-frequency, or mass-entry systems.
Trading around news releases or market closures in ways that exploit gaps.
Sharing or delegating your account to third parties.
Managing accounts for others.
Ignoring standard risk management practices (e.g., abnormal lot sizes, irregular trading behavior).

⚠️ Consequences of Breaking the Rules

Immediate closure of affected accounts.
Loss of any pending payouts or Rewards.
Reduction of leverage on existing accounts.
Permanent ban from the platform in serious cases.

💡 Good Practices

Trade responsibly and consistently.
Use proper risk management (lot sizing, stop losses).
Avoid over-leverage and “gambling-style” strategies.
Remember: all trades are simulated for evaluation purposes.

👉 By following these rules, you protect your account, improve your consistency score, and ensure smooth payouts.
