Daily drawdown: Maximum 5%

Account Activity
To maintain an active and engaged environment, we've implemented an inactivity policy:
If you do not make any trades for 30 calendar days, your account may be suspended
We recommend maintaining regular activity to avoid interruptions in your trading
Software Restrictions
To ensure the fairness and integrity of our trading ecosystem, we do not allow:
Use of EAs (Expert Advisors)
Trading bots
High-frequency trading
Copy trading
We believe in the value of human analysis and informed decision-making.
Weekend Operations
We've updated our policy regarding operations outside regular market hours to offer more flexibility to our traders:
For Traders in Evaluation Phase:
Without Swing Mode Activated:
Open trades will be automatically closed at weekly market close (Friday)
You will not be disapproved for "out-of-hours operations"
We recommend closing your positions before market close to maintain total control of your strategy
With Swing Mode Activated:
✅ You can keep positions open during the weekend
✅ Allowed to trade outside regular market hours
For Funded and Pro Leagues Traders:
✅ Weekend operations permitted
✅ Positions open outside regular market hours allowed
This flexibility allows you to take advantage of opportunities that arise outside traditional hours, adapting to different market conditions and trading strategies.
Always remember to manage your risks appropriately, especially when holding positions open during low liquidity periods like weekends.
Holiday Operations
It's important to consider how holidays can affect your trades:
Markets may remain open during some holidays, but with reduced liquidity
Low liquidity can result in wider spreads and more volatile price movements
Holidays in certain countries can specifically affect currency pairs or assets related to those economies
Major currency pairs are generally less affected than exotic or minor pairs
If a holiday falls on a weekday (Monday to Thursday), trades will not be automatically closed
Recommendations:
Research the holiday calendar of major financial markets
Adjust your strategy considering potential low liquidity on holiday days
Stay alert to possible gaps or sudden movements when markets reopen after a holiday
Consider reducing position sizes during these periods to better manage risk

At Impulse World, we recognize the importance of economic events in trading:
✅ Allowed to trade during the publication of important economic news
