Question 8

Which account type should I choose?

Accepted Answer

OA Flex: Best if you're new to prop trading or want the simplest path. One profit target, $10 entry, one included retake at a 60% split.

OA Flex Pro: Best if you want a 2-step structure (more time to build consistency) but still want a static drawdown and the $10 entry with a retake included.

OA Core: Best if you specifically want a static drawdown — your floor never moves no matter how profitable you are. Best for traders who like knowing exactly where their risk limit is at all times. Note: OA Core does not include a retake and starts from $10,000.

No new positions may be opened within 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after a scheduled high-impact (red-folder) news event. Trades already open before the 5-minute window may remain open.

This is a general prohibited practice — it applies during the evaluation phases as well as on the funded account, on every plan. Violations result in a hard breach.

Question 20

What is the minimum trade duration?

Accepted Answer

Minimum hold time is 2 minutes. First 2 violations are warnings; the 3rd violation is a hard breach.

Question 21

What is the inactivity rule?

Accepted Answer

You must place at least one trade every 30 days, or the account will breach.

Question 22

Are spreads or slippage violations?

Accepted Answer

Spread widening or slippage is not a violation unless it directly causes a drawdown or daily loss breach. If you feel spreads or slippage were abnormal, contact support via live chat.

Question 23

What are the minimum trading day requirements for evaluations?

Accepted Answer

All evaluations require a minimum of 3 trading days, and each of those days must have at least 0.5% profit. These days do not need to be consecutive. This requirement applies only during evaluations.

Question 24

How does drawdown work on OA Core?

Accepted Answer

OA Core uses a static drawdown. On a $100,000 account with an 8% max drawdown, your breach level is fixed at $92,000. This level never moves; it doesn't rise with profits or fall after withdrawals.

Question 25

How does drawdown work on OA Flex?

Accepted Answer

OA Flex, our one-step plan, uses a 6% trailing drawdown. The breach floor is always calculated from your equity high. Example: $100,000 account with 6% trailing drawdown, floor starts at $94,000. If you profit to $110,000, the floor rises to $103,400. After you withdraw back to $100,000, the floor recalculates to $94,000, giving you fresh breathing room every payout cycle.

Question 26

How does drawdown work on OA Flex Pro?

Accepted Answer

OA Flex Pro is a two-step plan and uses an 8% static (non-trailing) drawdown, the same as OA Core. On a $100,000 account the breach level is fixed at $92,000 from day one. It does not rise with profits and it does not move after withdrawals.

Question 27

How do withdrawals affect drawdown?

Accepted Answer

On OA Flex, withdrawing profits resets your trailing drawdown floor. The floor is always 6% below your equity high, so after a payout that brings your balance back to its starting point, your floor drops with it and you start the next cycle with a clean slate. On OA Flex Pro and OA Core, which use a static floor, withdrawals have no effect on the breach level.

Question 28

What is the consistency rule?

Accepted Answer

• One-Phase: Maximum 30% daily profit relative to total period profits.
• Two-Phase: Maximum 35% daily profit relative to total period profits.

This is a general rule. It applies during the evaluation phases as well as on the funded account.

Question 29
