Instant funded Sensei accounts – Max 3 accounts per trader. One Step/Two Step Phases – Max 3 accounts per trader. Please note: All accounts must be traded individually. Trades cannot be copied from one challenge evaluation account to another, or from a master account to a challenge evaluation account.
When is the Maximum Daily Loss breached?
The Maximum Daily Loss is the amount you are allowed to lose every day. For the purpose of this rule, the higher value between equity and balance will be used. This rule is set as a % of the starting equity or balance of every day. The rule states that the equity of the day, which is the result of the currently floating PnL (Profit and Loss) in sum with all closed positions of that day must not hit the Maximum Daily Loss Limit. The daily maximum loss resets at 00:00 CE(S)T/server every day. Example 1: Equity falls below 10% on the Instant Funded accounts: At the start of your trading day, your account balance is $50,000 and your equity is $50,000. There is no Daily Loss Limit, but the Max Loss Limit is 10%. This means that the Daily Loss Limit is also 10% there for: Daily/Max loss = $50,000 * 10% = $5,000 Daily/Max Loss Limit. This means your equity can't go lower than: $50,000 - $5,000 Daily/Max Loss Limit= $45,000. If your equity goes below $45,000 at any certain moment in time your account will be closed. Example 2: Equity Breaches 3% daily drawdown on the Ninja One-Step Phase challenge accounts: During one trading day, the maximum daily drawdown on the account must not exceed 3% of the starting balance of the account. Please note this includes commissions and swaps. Example: At the start of the challenge your account balance is $100,000 and your equity is $100,000. The Daily Loss Limit is 3% of the starting balance, this means that: Daily loss = $100,000 * 3% = $3,000 Daily Loss Limit. This means your equity can't go lower than: $100,000 - $3,000 Daily Loss Limit= $97,000. If your equity goes below $97,000 at any certain moment in time on that trading day. Use this calculation for any starting balance. Example 3: Equity Breaches 5% daily drawdown on the Samurai Two-Step Phase challenge accounts: During one trading day, the maximum daily drawdown on the account must not exceed 5% of the starting balance of the account. Please note this includes commissions and swaps. Example: At the start of the challenge your account balance is $100,000 and your equity is $100,000. The Daily Loss Limit is 5% of the starting balance, this means that: Daily loss = $100,000 * 5% = $5,000 Daily Loss Limit. This means your equity can't go lower than: $100,000 - $5,000 Daily Loss Limit= $95,000. If your equity goes below $95,000 at any certain moment in time on that trading day. Use this calculation for any starting balance.
What is our KYC Process?
The KYC process is conducted through Rise with the use of Sumsub for verification of traders. The process takes a couple of minutes and involves providing the following documents: 1. Proof of Identity. You can use the following documents: • Government ID; • Driver's license; • Permanent residence permit; • Passport. 2. A liveness test. 3. Proof of Address. Examples of documents that are accepted: • Utility bills such as Landline Telephone Bills, Gas bill or Electricity bill. • Bank Account Statement. • Proof of residence issued by a Notary public or a Government Authority. • Identity card or document with an address that is issued by a Central or State Government.
Funding
Are our trading accounts live or Demo?
The trading accounts provided are simulated accounts in a live trading environment. Traders willing to trade directly on Mac and Gray accounts are required to be licensed and regulated traders. For this reason, Mac and Gray will provide educational support to traders willing to go through this route by financially support IMC, CFA and CISI exams for traders who show real talent. Mac and Gray also trades on its own account (outside of the CBT platform) with real trading capital. While performing its own trades, Mac and Gray may also use trading data obtained from its trading clients on the simulated accounts and continuously monitors the trades executed by Mac and Gray traders. This execution occurs without any impact on Mac and Gray clients and their simulated trading environment. These two processes are legally separate, and the trader is in no way affected or influenced by Mac and Gray trading.
How does the Payout system work?
Instant Funded accounts: A trader is eligible to request a payout every 14th day after the first executed trade on the funded account. They also must achieve a 5% profit target to request a payout. There will be a 50/50 profit split applied and a scaling plan is achievable on 4 withdrawals. One Phase and Two Step Accounts: A trader is eligible to request a payout every 14th day after the first executed trade on the funded account. There will be an 85% profit split and we also provide a scaling plan.
How can I request a payout?
In your dashboard on our website, you can see "Support > Payout" in the menu. By filling in this form you can request your payout. The minimum amount for a payout is 5% of the initial balance for our Instant funded accounts including our split and 1% for our challenge accounts including our split. Please note: • Payouts below 500$ will be processed through Wise/Crypto USDT TRC20/ ETH. • Payouts above 500$ will be processed via Rise / Crypto USDT TRC20/ ETH, unless Rise does not support the traders country.
How will I know if I breach a trading rule?
Instant funded accounts: If a trader breaches the Max drawdown rule, trading will be closed, and an email sent out informing the trader of their breach. If any of the other rules are broken the trader may request a review, in which case, we will review the behaviour pattern and reinstate the account if we find the rules were broken in error. One Phase and Two-Phase accounts: If a trader breaches the Daily loss limit or the Max drawdown rule, trading will be closed, and an email sent out informing the trader of their breach. Further information requested by the trader can be provided if they are unaware of the moment the drawdown occurred.
Refunds
If you have submitted a request for a refund for the evaluation challenge, please note that the process may take up to 10 business days to complete. We use Stripe as a payment provider, and this is their usual processing times. Crypto payments can be refunded within 3 business days.
