Trading Rules & Policies

Traders from any corner of the country and the world are welcomed, except those from UN sanctioned territories and the US residents and citizens. Account registration requires: • Name as per the Government-issued ID • Valid email address • Valid Phone number • Government-issued ID verification (KYC required for Payout) • Proof of address (KYC required for Payout) • Acceptance of all terms and conditions

All traders must maintain professional conduct and adhere to ethical trading practices. PropaTrade is not a SEBI-registered broker/advisor/PMS and does not provide live trading access. Required Standards: • Trade only during these allowed market hours (9:20 AM to 3:25 PM IST) • Use only approved instruments (Indian F&O, Indian stocks) • Maintain proper risk management protocols • Follow position sizing guidelines • Avoid market manipulation or illegal practices • Respect other traders and community members

The following activities are strictly prohibited and may result in immediate account termination: Forbidden Practices: • High-frequency trading or scalping strategies • Closing a profitable trade within 5 minutes (Trade will not be considered valid, account will not be closed for this, you can continue trading normally) • Copy trading from external sources • Account sharing or allowing others to trade your account • Using Expert Advisors (EAs) without approval • Trading during news events or market volatility spikes • Overleveraging beyond account limits • Toxic trading patterns or gambling behavior • Any form of market manipulation

Proper risk management is essential for successful trading. All traders must operate within the following parameters: Risk Parameters: • Daily Drawdown Limit: 5% The daily drawdown is the maximum you can lose in a single trading day, set at 5% of your account value. At midnight server time, we take the higher value between your closing balance and equity (including open trades). Your daily drawdown limit is 5% of this amount. Examples: Scenario 1: New ₹10L Account: Daily limit: ₹50,000 | Breach level: ₹9,50,000 Scenario 2: Existing Account: Midnight values: Balance ₹12,00,000, Equity ₹12,20,000 Daily limit: ₹61,000 (5% of higher value ₹12,20,000) Breach level: ₹11,59,000 • Maximum Drawdown Limit: 10% (Static) Your account is protected by a 10% maximum drawdown limit based on your initial account balance. This drawdown threshold is fixed and does not increase even if you reach new equity highs. Example: ₹10L Account (Weekly Warriors or Trading Titans) Scenario 1: No New Highs (Still Static) Start: ₹10,00,000 → Max drawdown limit: ₹1,00,000 (10% of initial) Breach point: Below ₹9,00,000 Scenario 2: Making New Highs (Still Static) Start: ₹10,00,000 → Grow to ₹12,00,000 → Max drawdown limit remains: ₹1,00,000 (10% of initial) • Position Size: Maximum 2% risk at a time on the account (only on funded phase) At any given time, your total (cumulative) open risk across the account must not exceed 2%. This includes the combined risk of all open positions together, even if they are hedged. Risk is calculated using the Stop Loss (SL) set on each open position/leg—your overall SL-based risk (hedged or otherwise) must stay ≤ 2% at all times. Tip: Option sellers can stay compliant by reducing lot sizes on multi-legged Nifty weekly strategies so the combined SL-defined risk remains within the 2% limit. • Stop Loss: Mandatory on all positions within 120 seconds of opening a position (only on funded phase) Breach of any risk parameter results in immediate account suspension.

PropaTrade operates on a two-phase evaluation system designed to identify skilled and consistent traders. ═══════════════════════════════════════════ EVALUATION PHASE REQUIREMENTS ═══════════════════════════════════════════ Phase 1 Requirements: • Profit Target: 10% of account balance • Time Limit: Phase 1: 90 days • Maximum Daily Drawdown: 5% • Maximum Drawdown: 10% • Minimum Trading Days: 5 days (Weekly Warriors) / 10 days (Trading Titans) Phase 2 Requirements: • Profit Target: 5% of account balance • Time Limit: 45 days • Maximum Daily Drawdown: 5% • Maximum Drawdown: 10% • Minimum Trading Days: 5 days (Weekly Warriors) / 10 days (Trading Titans) If the account cannot meet the profit target within the specified time limit (Phase 1: 90 days, Phase 2: 45 days), the evaluation will be marked as failed and the account will be terminated. No extensions are provided beyond the maximum allowed days. ═══════════════════════════════════════════ CONSISTENCY NOTE ═══════════════════════════════════════════ We don't enforce strict consistency rules, but expect traders to demonstrate genuine trading strategies. ⚠️ Discouraged Profit Pattern: Day 1: 4–5%, Day 2: 4–5%, Day 3/4/5: < 1% each Also discouraged: Finishing the phase in 1–2 days purely to achieve profit targets.
