Edge 1 Step

On this plan: 10% of the account

The net profit that passes an evaluation stage. Edge 1 Step and Prime 1 Step have one target. Edge 2 Step and Prime 2 Step have one for Phase 1 and a smaller one for Phase 2, and Phase 2 starts again from the starting balance. There is no time limit: the stage passes once the target is reached with no positions open and the stage's profitable days done. Instant has no target: it is funded from day one.

On this plan: 80%, up to 95% as you scale

Your share of the profit on a funded account, rising as you scale: 80% up to 95% on Edge, 75% up to 90% on Instant Pro, 70% up to 85% on Instant Go, and on Prime 80% for the first 30 days funded, then 100%. Every 90-day scaling cycle you complete adds 5% to the split, up to the plan's ceiling. A cycle is complete when, over 90 days, you make 12% net profit on 1 Step (10% on 2 Step, 15% on Instant), close at least 50 trades, have 2 of 3 profitable months (all 3 on Instant), no single trade makes more than 7.5% of the profit (5% on Instant), and no rule warning is raised. Each cycle also grows the account by 30%. Prime's split does not rise with scaling. On Instant, each Max Floating Loss per Symbol strike cuts the next payout cycle to a 10% split.

On this plan: First payout on demand once funded, then weekly

Your first payout can be requested on demand, as soon as the account qualifies: once funded (or after your first trade on Instant) with the plan's profitable days done. After that, one request every 7 days, or every 14 days on Instant Go.

On this plan: 1:100 Max

The most the platform lets you open against your margin: 1:100 on Edge 1 Step and Edge 2 Step and Prime 2 Step, 1:33 on Instant Pro, 1:25 on Instant Go and 1:50 on Prime 1 Step. It is the same in the evaluation and once funded. It is a ceiling, not a target; Max. Exposure is what sizes your positions in practice.

On this plan: A Max. Exposure breach is a warning, not a strike: if the account is in profit, its profit is reset to the starting balance (profitable days are kept); a second breach closes the account

What a soft breach costs on Instant Pro and Instant Go: each Max Floating Loss per Symbol breach after the first is a strike, and each strike cuts the next payout cycle to a 10% split. Max. Exposure and Max Floating Loss per Trade are not strikes: their first breach is a warning that resets the profit of an account in profit, and the second closes the account.

On this plan: 3 days of +0.5% to pass

Days that close at +0.5% of the account size or more (New York trading days, 17:00 to 17:00). Edge 1 Step needs 3 to pass and Edge 2 Step 2 in each phase, the same on Prime; once funded, the same number is needed again before each payout. Instant Go needs 5 before each payout, and Instant Pro has none.

On Prime: Forex $4, metals $5, energies $6 per lot, round turn; indices and stocks free; crypto 0.045% of the trade value.

On this plan: Allowed. Trading both ways around a high-impact release to catch the spike (straddling, 15 minutes either side) is reviewed by the risk desk

Yes, on every CFD plan and at every stage: there is no restricted window around a release. One practice is reviewed by the risk desk: straddling, which is opening positions in both directions on the same or a correlated instrument within 15 minutes either side of a high-impact release to catch the spike. A position taken on a genuine view of the market, before or after a release, is fine.

On this plan: With the add-on; without it, trades still open at 4:45 PM New York time on Friday are closed by the system: the first time is a warning, the second closes the account

With the Weekend Holding add-on, chosen when you buy the account, on every CFD plan. Without it, close your positions by 4:45 PM New York time on Friday: anything still open then is closed by the system at the market price, in the evaluation and once funded. The first time is a warning and the account trades on; the second time closes the account. Edge and Prime accounts bought before the add-on was introduced keep holding over the weekend, through every phase.

On this plan: Yes

Yes, on every CFD plan, as long as the expert advisor is genuinely yours: one you developed, own and control, can explain, and can show running. Pre-purchased, rented, subscription or mass-market “plug-and-play” bots are not allowed on any plan, however they trade. You stay responsible for every trade it places, and it may not be used for high-frequency trading or to exploit prices, latency or feed errors.

On this plan: Yes

Yes, to copy your own trading: between WhitePips accounts that you own and trade yourself (CFD with CFD), or from a master account that is genuinely yours, including one you hold at another broker or firm. Copying another person's account, a signal service, a shared master, an account manager or a challenge-passing service is not allowed on any plan.
