What can trip you up
At A Glance
Rows To Inspect First
These rows decide whether a trader has enough cushion, can request a payout, or needs to wait/rebuild.
Drawdown type row
Standard challenge paths use static total drawdown, while Instant Funding uses trailing total drawdown.
Funded-day conflict row
The official FAQ says five different trading days in one withdrawal answer and at least three different days in another.
News-window row
New purchases after February 3 use a 5-minute pre/post window; old purchases use 10 minutes; 24-hour accounts use 5 minutes.
Weekend row
Crypto can be traded on weekends; other markets can be held but not executed. Rapid, Instant, and 24-hour paths prohibit weekend trading.
DNA Funded Rules to Check First
| Path / area | Rule snapshot | What to verify + evidence |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Phase / 2 Phase / Rapid Static total drawdown | FAQ says lifetime drawdown is static for 1 phase, 2 phase, and rapid challenge accounts. Daily drawdown is balance-based, static, and uses the end-of-day balance at 10pm UTC. | Confirm the exact challenge type, daily limit percentage, and total limit percentage in Rules and Conditions before trading. |
| Instant Funding Trailing total drawdown | FAQ says daily drawdown is not applicable for instant funding and total drawdown is trailing, with a 4% lifetime drawdown example. | Trailing drawdown can make profits reduce available cushion. Verify the live dashboard and agreement before sizing positions. |
| 24-hour Challenge One-attempt | One active 24-hour account at a time. Result depends on hitting the profit target, respecting trailing drawdown, and meeting the 75% single-asset profit allocation rule. Payout equals access fee times selected multiplier. | Timer starts after account credentials are generated. Verify multiplier, instrument list, and 5-minute news window before starting. |
| Funded payout gate Source conflict | FAQ says first three approved payouts have a 5% profit cap. It also gives conflicting trading-day language: one answer says 5 different days, another says at least 3 different days. | Use the dashboard/support path before requesting. Minimum withdrawal is $100 after split; profit split is 80/20 or 90% with add-on; average processing is listed as 1-4 business days plus method time. |
| Profit distribution Payout limiter | For funded-stage payouts, new purchases after February 3 limit any single calendar day to 30% of requested payout. Older purchases use 40%. | Partial closures are consolidated into the final closure day for payout calculations. Recheck purchase date and payout amount before closing a request. |
| News and weekends Path-specific | News windows use FXStreet red events. New purchases after February 3 use 5 minutes before/after; old purchases use 10 minutes; 24-hour challenge uses 5 minutes. Crypto weekend trading is allowed, but Rapid, Instant Funding, and 24-hour Challenges prohibit weekend trading. | Check market, purchase date, and account path. Non-crypto markets may be held over weekends but cannot be executed per the FAQ. |
| Conduct and access Breach risk | FAQ lists prohibited strategies including HFT, arbitrage, prohibited hedging/copying, tick scalping, grid, martingale, one-sided betting, and other exploitative conduct in stated scopes. It also lists restricted territories and says US residents are restricted from MT5 challenge purchase. | This page does not describe how to avoid enforcement. Use official docs/support for edge cases and country/platform eligibility. |
Source conflict and stale-claim notes
BestProps did not resolve the official FAQ’s 5-day versus 3-day withdrawal language. The official rules PDF was reachable, but its text could not be reliably extracted in this check, so this page uses the FAQ for factual rows and leaves the PDF as a re-check source.
