Target ÷ loss is the total profit target divided by the max loss limit. Lower means less profit is needed for each unit of risk. Prices are list prices; "Apply discount" takes off the firm's current public code, which may not cover every program. Per $100K converts EUR and GBP at a fixed rate for ranking only.

Trading rules

What Breakout lets you do on its accounts, taken from its rules and FAQ pages.

  • News trading

    Allowed

  • Expert advisors

    Not stated

    The help centre does not say whether bots or automated trading are allowed; off-the-shelf strategies marketed for passing evaluations are banned.

  • Copy trading

    Allowed with limits

    Copying trades between different traders' accounts, or trading on signals and ideas copied from third parties, is prohibited.

  • Overnight holding

    Allowed

  • Weekend holding

    Allowed

Rules to read before you buy

  • Hedging inside one account is allowed (hedge mode is on by default), but opposite positions on the same or correlated assets across accounts, or coordinated with another trader, lead to termination of all linked accounts.
  • Each market has a maximum total position size, from $25,000 on smaller coins to $1,000,000 on BTC and $2,000,000 on the S&P 500.
  • Leverage is fixed per market and cannot be changed by the trader.
  • The account passes automatically when the target is reached, even with positions open; the funded account is activated after KYC and a signed agreement with Payward Oceanic Ltd, usually within 12 to 24 hours.
  • Passing with one approach and switching to another once funded, trades likely to trigger auto-deleveraging, and exploiting price or latency errors are prohibited.
  • Trading several accounts from the same household, device or IP address is not allowed; a VPN may be used but not to hide the trader's location, and KYC must be done with it off.
  • A breach closes all positions and ends the account; there are no resets, and evaluation fees are not refundable.
