Rebels Funding Rules: Drawdown, Real Trades, Consistency, Scaling Plan and Competition Rules
Review the documented rules, source notes, tools, and account checks recorded for Rebels Funding Rules: Drawdown, Real Trades, Consistency, Scaling Plan and Competition Rules.
Rules can change: The firm or platform controls the current wording. Confirm the linked source and your dashboard before you trade or request a payout.
Rebels Funding rules for every program the firm sells: Copper (4 phases), Bronze (3), Silver (2), Gold (1) and Diamond (Level 0 plus eight funded levels), together with the free trial and the monthly trading competition. Rebels Funding (the firm writes it RebelsFunding) is run by RIFM, s.r.o. in Bratislava, Slovakia. It sells simulated forex, metals, index, energy, stock and crypto evaluations on its own RF-Trader platform. The headline rules are simple: fixed equity-based drawdown (10% on Copper, Bronze and Silver, 6% on Gold and Diamond), no time limit, no profit-consistency percentage, and overnight, weekend and news trading allowed during the evaluation. The rules that end most accounts sit in the detail: a minimum number of “real trades” that must be done before you hit the target, a daily drawdown that includes floating loss and resets at 21:00 or 22:00 UTC, and a stricter rule set once you reach the funded stage (called an RCF account): a mandatory 1.5% risk cap per trade idea, a 60-second minimum hold, and no new trades in the 5 minutes before red high-impact news. This page sets out each rule with dollar values for every account size, worked examples, two calculators, the scaling plan, the competition rules, what changed in the August 2026 rewrite, and the places where Rebels Funding’s own pages disagree.

What can trip you up
Rows To Inspect First
These are the rules Rebels Funding’s own pages say end accounts or force a phase to be repeated, and the ones traders who only read the program cards tend to miss. The labels explain why each row is surfaced; they are not a recommendation to buy or avoid any program.
Real trades must come before the target
The account “may be closed when the Profit Target is reached”. If you have not yet made 4, 5, 6 or 8 independent trades by then, you may have to repeat the phase. Split entries and correlated pairs on the same idea count as one trade.
The funded account has stricter rules
The evaluation lets you trade news and hold trades for 30 seconds. The RCF account needs 60 seconds, bans new trades 5 minutes before red news and caps risk at 1.5% per idea. Traders who pass with an evaluation style can break the funded rules in week one.
A funded breach now pays nothing
Until mid-2026 the rules let a trader who broke the daily limit on a funded account with a positive balance ask for a review and a share of profit. Version 3.1 (August 11, 2026) says a breach terminates the account and “a positive balance does not create a right to a partial payout”.
Rebels Funding Rule Checks
| Rule area | Official-source snapshot | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Overall drawdown static, equity, hard breach | 10% of the initial account size on Copper, Bronze, Silver and the Free Trial; 6% on Gold and Diamond. “It is fixed and includes both closed results and floating profit or loss.” On a 10,000 USD account the floor is 9,000 USD (10%) or 9,400 USD (6%). | The floor does not move up as you profit, so room grows with profit. A breach closes open trades, makes the account read-only and terminates the phase or RCF account.

| Minimum trade duration 30 s evaluation / 60 s RCF | Every paid evaluation trade used as part of a strategy must stay open at least 30 seconds. Every RCF trade must stay open at least 60 seconds. | “A single accidental close may be reviewed in context, but repeated or deliberate sub-30-second trading is not allowed.” The Free Trial has no minimum.

| News trading allowed in evaluation; RCF 5-minute block | Evaluation: news trading allowed. RCF: no new trade or pending order in the 5 minutes before a red high-impact event on the TradingView calendar in RF-Trader or the Client Zone. | Existing positions may be held, managed or closed. “There is no fixed post-release restriction.” Exploiting news gaps or delayed pricing stays prohibited.

| Leverage up to 1:200 evaluation; lower on RCF | Majors: 1:200 (Copper, Bronze evaluation), 1:100 (Silver), 1:50 (Gold, Diamond). Copper and Bronze RCF leverage falls with account size, down to 1:5 on Copper 320K and above. | Leverage drops when you move from evaluation to RCF, so the same lot size can need several times the margin.

| EAs, bots and account management not supported | “Expert Advisors, automated trading robots and other systems that place or manage trades automatically are not supported on paid Evaluation or RCF accounts.” The registered trader must trade personally. | RF-Trader is not MetaTrader or cTrader, so standard MT4/MT5 EAs and trade copiers have nowhere to run anyway.

| RCF approval not automatic | Passing makes you eligible for “a separate RCF assessment”. Access needs account review, KYC/AML and sanctions screening, jurisdiction checks and a three-party RCF Account Contract with RIFM, s.r.o. and FRCSM, s.r.o. | The Terms say the firm may refuse an RCF assessment “without stating a reason”.

How a Rebels Funding Account Moves From Evaluation to RCF
Every stage is simulated. Rebels Funding says evaluation and RCF accounts are “fully simulated accounts using real market quotations and are not live brokerage accounts”. The order of stages is the same for every paid program:
- Buy a program and size. Pick Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold or Diamond and an account size in the Client Zone. There is no deadline to activate the account or place the first trade.
- Pass each evaluation phase. Reach the closed-profit target without breaching the daily or overall drawdown, and complete the minimum number of real trades before the target. Each phase is a separate account; Copper has four, Gold one.
- Wait for the review. “Reaching the target, an automated platform message or technical closure of the account does not by itself constitute final confirmation that the phase has been completed successfully.” The firm may review trades, ask for explanations and make you repeat a phase if the real-trade count was not met.
- Pass KYC and sign the RCF contract. A pending RCF profile is created; you verify identity (ID plus selfie/liveness), sign the RCF Account Contract package with proof of address, and RIFM reviews it manually. Approval is not guaranteed.
- Trade the RCF account under the funded rules. 60-second minimum hold, 1.5% risk cap per idea, the red-news block, and the program’s RCF daily limit. Request the first reward from day 14 after your first RCF trade.
- Scale up. On Copper, Bronze, Silver and Gold, request +25% after 15% aggregate profit over 3 or 4 months. On Diamond, every 10% target opens the next, larger level automatically.

Daily floors below assume the day starts at the account’s starting balance; the daily limit is always a percentage of that day’s starting equity, so it moves with your balance. The overall floor never moves.

Rebels Funding Drawdown: Daily and Overall Limits
Rebels Funding uses two separate limits, and both are measured on equity (closed results plus open profit or loss), not on closed balance:
- Overall drawdown is static. “The maximum Overall Drawdown is 10% of the initial account size. It is fixed.” On Gold and Diamond it is 6%. The FAQ adds that it “does not move upward when the account becomes profitable”, so unlike a trailing drawdown, every dollar of profit adds to your room.
- Daily drawdown follows each day’s starting equity. The limit is “measured from the daily starting equity snapshot, including open profit and loss”. At 10,000 USD starting equity, 5% puts the intraday equity floor at 9,500 USD. If you carry an open winner into the reset, its floating profit is in the snapshot, and giving it back counts against the new day.
- Reset time. The snapshot is taken “at the liquidity provider’s daily rollover at 00:00 chart time. Chart time operates at UTC+3 during daylight saving time and UTC+2 during standard time. The reset therefore occurs at 21:00 UTC in summer and 22:00 UTC in winter. The trading server itself may display UTC.” The competition uses a fixed 22:00 UTC.
- Breach of either limit is final. “Open positions are closed auto
