As a trader at Impulse World, it is essential that you know the basic rules that govern our operations. These conditions are designed to create a fair, transparent, and professional trading environment for all our users.
Risk and Drawdown Rules
One of the cornerstones of our approach is responsible risk management. That's why we have established clear limits, depending on the account type:
Regular Account
Daily drawdown: 4% - 5% - 6%
Maximum loss: 8% - 10% - 12%
📌 Important: The exact percentage of each limit depends on the balance and the mode you choose (1 Phase, 2 Phases, Direct Funding, or Prime). When selecting your challenge at checkout, you will see the official drawdown applied to your account.
Promotional Account

These limits are in place to protect your capital and encourage sustainable trading habits. To better understand how these values are calculated and why we use equity as a measure, we invite you to read our detailed article: Understanding Equity and Drawdown: Keys to Your Trading Success

Stop Out Policy
At Impulse, stop outs are strictly prohibited. This policy seeks to promote responsible risk management and prevent automatic liquidations that could compromise the allocated capital.
What is a Stop Out?
A Stop Out is an automatic mechanism that is triggered when an account's equity (balance plus floating) falls to the same level as the margin used. At Impulse, the stop out level is set at 100%, which means that when equity equals the margin used, the margin level reaches 100%. At that point, the system executes the forced liquidation of open positions, with the aim of preventing the account from exceeding the allowed risk.
Why is it prohibited?
Allowing an account to reach a stop out indicates poor risk management. At Impulse, this represents a serious breach of our operating rules.
Consequences
Immediate termination of the account once identified (during evaluation or funded).
Recommendation: Manage your positions responsibly. The use of planned stops and rigorous margin control are key to trading professionally within Impulse.
Activity on Your Account
To maintain an active and engaged environment, we have implemented an inactivity policy:
If you do not place any trade for 30 calendar days, your account could be suspended.
The 30 calendar day count begins from the exact moment your credentials become active in your trading app. Applies to:
Challenges
Funded Account
Direct Funding
If there is no activity on your account during this period, your account will be disapproved.
Important: We suggest maintaining active trading to continuously refine your skills and maximize your growth potential.

We believe in the value of human analysis and informed decision-making.
Weekend Trading
At Impulse World, all our challenges and funded accounts include the possibility of keeping trades open and trading over the weekend, without needing any additional add-on.
What can I do on the weekend?
✅ Keep positions open over the weekend
✅ You can trade the markets available on your platform during that time, such as cryptocurrencies
Are there any exceptions?
Accounts with the promotional subproduct do not have this benefit.
💡 Remember: Always manage your risk appropriately. Weekends usually present lower liquidity, which can affect execution and price behavior.
Holiday Trading
It's important to keep in mind 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.
Recommendations:
Research the holiday calendar of the main financial markets.
Adjust your strategy considering the possible low liquidity on holidays.
Stay alert to possible gaps or sharp movements when markets reopen after a holiday.
Consider reducing your position size during these periods to better manage risk.
News Trading

How to Calculate Your Commission on Cryptocurrencies 2
🧮 Commission Calculation
Formula (per trade):
Commission = (Contract Size x (Entry Price + Exit Price)) x 0.004 x 0.01 x Lots
Example 1: Ripple (XRPUSD) – 3 lots
Contract Size: 100
Entry: 2.53
Exit: 2.55
(100 × (2.53 + 2.55)) × 0.04 × 0.01 × 3 = 508 × 0.0012 = 0.61 USD
Example 2: BNBUSD – 3 lots
Contract Size: 1
Entry: 1250
Exit: 1450
(1 × (1250 + 1450)) × 0.04 × 0.01 × 3 = 2700 × 0.0012 = 3.24 USD
It is calculated based on the notional value of the trade.
