Instant, 1-Step and 2-Step accounts are live 40% off Cobra Venom with code
The entire rulebook

Three rules.
Nothing hidden.

Three rules that separate a trader from a gambler, and no consistency rule. Your daily and maximum drawdown limits sit underneath them, the same as anywhere else.

The rules, explained in the simplest way
Rules you follow

The three rules that can end an account.

  1. 01
    The No-Hedging Rule

    One direction per pair.

    You can’t hold a buy and a sell on the same pair at once. That includes across your own accounts: a buy on one of your accounts and a sell on the same pair on another of your accounts at the same time breaches all accounts involved. Trading many different pairs is still fine.

    This can breach your account.
  2. 02
    The 60-Second Rule

    Hold every trade 60 seconds.

    Close a trade by hand faster than that and you get one warning with the profit removed; do it again and the account ends. A take-profit or stop-loss under 60 seconds gives 4 warnings, profit removed each time, then ends the account on the 5th.

    A manual fast-close breaches straight away.
  3. 03
    The 1.5% Rule

    Open trades stay within 1.5%.

    Your open trades can lose at most 1.5% of your account at once, commission included: $75 on a $5,000 account. Reach that and the account ends. Close losers early.

    Checked live, like your drawdown.
Counting rules

Two more that never breach you.

  1. 04
    Max Profit Per Trade

    One trade counts up to 60% of your target.

    If your target is $1,000, one trade can count up to $600 toward it. Go over and the trade’s entire profit is removed, not just the amount over, and noted on the trade in your history. It never breaches you.

    Checked only when you close the trade.
  2. 05
    Trading days

    Trade on a few days before you withdraw.

    1-Step and 2-Step: one trade on any 3 days. Cobra Prime: 7 trading days, and 5 of them green, meaning your closed trades that day finish in net profit. Cobra Venom needs zero days.

    This rule can never breach your account.
Loss limits

Your drawdown limits

The standard loss limits every funded account has. Both are equity-based, so open trades count too.

Daily drawdown4% – 8%

Resets each day from your starting balance. 4% on Cobra Venom and 1-Step, 3% on Cobra Prime, 8% on 2-Step. Cross it and the account breaches.

ExampleA $10,000 account with a 4% daily limit can be down up to $400 in a single day.
Maximum loss6% – 12%

The hard floor from your starting balance. It never resets. 6% on Instant and 1-Step, 12% on 2-Step.

ExampleA $10,000 account with a 6% max loss can never let equity fall below $9,400.

Measured on equity, so floating profit and loss count. Cross either line even for a second and the account breaches. Exact numbers for every size are on the accounts page.

No hidden rules

Everything else is your style.

No martingale rule, no grid rule, no consistency rule. Trade however you want, inside your limits. We never breach you for profit.

Common questions

Do Instant accounts have minimum trading days?

Cobra Venom: no. Cobra Prime: yes. 7 trading days and 5 green days before the first payout request, then requests open every day. 1-Step and 2-Step evaluations need 3 active trading days.

What is a green day?

A trading day (00:00 UTC to 00:00 UTC) where the trades you closed that day add up to a net profit after commission. Open trades do not count until they close. Only Cobra Prime uses it, and only to decide when your first payout opens. It never breaches an account.

Is drawdown on balance or equity?

Equity. Open trades count, so floating profit and loss affect your breach status in real time.

Is the 60% cap on account size or target?

Your profit or withdrawal target, not account size. A $1,000 target means one trade counts up to $600 toward it. Profit above that is removed at close and noted on the trade in your history.

Can I trade news and hold over weekends?

Yes, both are allowed. Drawdown limits still apply, and weekend gaps count toward equity.

Do you have a consistency rule?

No. One trade can carry most of your result. The only limit on profit is the 60% single-trade cap, and that is a counting cap, not a breach.

What is the 1.5% floating loss rule?

Your open trades can lose at most 1.5% of your account at the same time, and the commission on those open trades counts toward it. On a $5,000 account that is $75. We check it live, the same way your drawdown is checked, so close a losing trade early instead of holding and hoping.

Is hedging allowed?

No. You can’t hold a buy and a sell on the same pair at the same time. One direction per pair. That also applies across your own accounts: holding a buy on one of your accounts and a sell on the same pair on another of your accounts at the same time breaches all accounts involved. Trading many different pairs at once is fine.

Do I have to set a stop loss?

No, but it is strongly recommended. The 1.5% floating loss limit is checked live while your trades are open, so a stop loss is the easiest way to keep your open loss under the line while you are away from the screen.

What if my stop loss gets skipped in fast news?

Your daily and maximum drawdown limits are measured on equity, so a gap that moves your equity counts. The 1.5% floating loss limit is also live. Leave room under the limits before major news rather than relying on a stop being filled at the exact level you set.

Is the 1.5% of my balance or my target?

Your account starting size. $500 account, $7.50. $5,000, $75. $10,000, $150. The separate 60% counting cap is measured on your target, not balance.

Are bots or copy trading allowed?

Trading must be placed manually. Automated bots and EAs are reviewed before payout. Copy trading is not allowed.

Can I run the same trades on several accounts?

No. One account holder, one strategy. The same or opposite positions across several FundedCobra accounts, yours or anyone else’s, count as mirroring. That includes signal groups and account sharing. Linked accounts are treated as one: payouts are declined and the accounts are closed. Payouts only go to a wallet in your own verified name.

What happens when an account breaches?

The account status becomes breached, open positions are closed, and further trading is stopped.
