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

1. Maximum Daily Drawdown

   • Your equity must not fall below a daily limit defined as a percentage of the equity recorded at the end of the previous day.

     Calculation

     Maximum Daily Loss = Equity (recorded at end of previous day) × Max Daily Loss Percentage

     Equity is recorded at the end of each trading day (midnight GMT+2 with DST).

     What This Means

     • Each day starts with a new maximum daily loss calculation based on the previous day’s closing equity;
     • If your equity drops below this limit at any point during the day, the challenge fails immediately;
     • This limit resets every day at midnight (GMT+2 with DST) based on the new end-of-day equity

     Example

     Equity at end of Monday: €105,000

     Maximum Daily Loss: 5%

     Tuesday’s Limit: €105,000 × 5% = €5,000

     On Tuesday, your equity cannot drop below: €105,000 - €5,000 = €100,000

     If equity touches or drops below €100,000 at any point on Tuesday → Challenge Failed

     The Maximum Daily Loss is selected at checkout. Failure to adhere to this rule will result in the closure of your account.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Maximum 1% Risk Limit
   
   • The 1% maximum risk limit rule means that your floating profit and loss (PnL) must not exceed -1% of the account size. If your floating PnL drops below -1%, the account will be closed.

❌ 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).

• Remember: all trades are simulated for evaluation purposes.
