Withdrawing all profits would breach the Maximum Drawdown, so part of the profits must remain in the account as drawdown buffer.

EOD Trailing Maximum Drawdown — Futures Prime
Drawdown is calculated from the end-of-day closing balance, not from the highest unrealized intraday profit.
---
If the account closes the day in profit, the drawdown floor moves upward. If the account later loses, the floor remains fixed and does not move down. Intraday floating profit does not affect the floor unless the trades are closed and reflected in the end-of-day balance.
---
The floor stops rising once it reaches the account's starting balance.
Example: on a $100K account with $3,000 drawdown, the floor trails upward from profitable end-of-day closes, but once it reaches $100,000 it becomes permanently fixed.
The floor does not move during the day; it updates only after a profitable end-of-day close and never moves downward after a losing day.

The consistency rule applies only during the Challenge stage and is intended to ensure that profit is generated steadily rather than through one high-risk trade or day.
One day's profit should not exceed 40% of the challenge profit target.
If it does, the account does not fail; instead, the required profit target increases.
---
Example: with a $1,000 profit target, the preferred maximum daily profit is $400. If one day produces $450, the target increases by the $50 excess to $1,050.
The company treats this as a requirement to earn additional profit and demonstrate consistency, not as a direct breach.

Excessive scalping is strictly prohibited across all The Trading Pit account types and trading instruments.
It refers to opening and closing positions within only a few seconds primarily to exploit extremely small, rapid price movements. This behavior is considered high risk and inconsistent with fair, stable market execution.
---
A pattern of positions held for roughly 10–15 seconds may be classified as excessive scalping when it forms a material part of the trader's strategy.
The monitoring systems review holding time and trade structure. An account may be flagged when a large share of profitable trades—around 40% or more—comes from ultra-short-duration positions.
---
Closing a losing trade at any time is allowed and does not trigger this rule. The policy focuses on profit generated from very short holding periods.
---
Challenge accounts receive a formal warning when excessive scalping is detected.
Funded accounts receive a warning and all profit generated by that activity is deducted.
Continued non-compliance or repeated violations may cause reward or upgrade requests to be denied and, in serious cases, may lead to account termination.
---
The rule applies to current and future accounts and to CFDs, Futures, and Stocks.
Traders should ensure that 10–15 second execution is not their primary profit method and should adjust the strategy immediately if flagged.

Overnight and weekend holding are not allowed.
All positions must be closed by 3:10 p.m. CT / 10:10 p.m. Baghdad and Mecca time (GMT+3). Positions left open are closed automatically.
Trading resumes daily at 12:00 midnight Baghdad / Mecca time and resumes Sunday evening after the weekend.
This applies to both Challenge and funded Futures accounts.

Copy trading is allowed in Futures Challenges across a maximum of five accounts, provided that all accounts belong to the same person.
If more than five accounts are passed using the same copied strategy, The Trading Pit reserves the right to refuse promotion of the additional accounts.

There is no limit on the number of Futures Challenge accounts that may be purchased or opened, provided they use the same email and can be managed from one dashboard.
During the Earning phase, a trader may hold up to five active Earning Accounts at the same time.
If more challenges are passed, the additional accounts are placed on hold until an active Earning Account is closed or terminated.

A trader may use their own Expert Advisor provided it does not perform prohibited activity.
The EA may not copy signals that do not belong to the trader, use excessive scalping, perform latency, reverse, hedge, or other arbitrage, conduct high-frequency trading, or use emulators.
Accounts using such EAs may be denied promotion and payouts, and the challenge fee will not be refunded.

All trading must be performed from a personal device used exclusively by the account owner. Devices may not be shared with other individuals.
Multiple accounts may not be accessed from the same IP address or network. Shared IP use is treated as a risk indicator for linked or coordinated trading and may be evaluated alongside trade behavior, execution patterns, and account-linking signals.
---
Traders may connect from different locations and networks, such as home Wi-Fi and mobile data.
VPN use is allowed provided it is not used to facilitate shared access or conceal coordinated activity.
Non-compliance may trigger account review and can lead to termination.

The account is subject to closure if no trade is placed for 21 days during either the Challenge or funded stage.

National ID, passport, or driving licence.
Proof of address.
A selfie is also required.

A Reset allows the trader to restart a Challenge at a discounted price instead of buying a completely new Challenge at the original price.
It may be used after a rule breach, such as breaking a daily or maximum loss limit, or after a poor start when the trader wants to restore the starting balance.
---
A Reset restores the original account balance and clears prior statistics, but it does not restore time.
Example: if 10 days remain when the Reset is purchased, the restarted account still has only 10 days remaining.
The Reset price is lower than the initial Challenge price.
Resets may be purchased an unlimited number of times while at least one day remains in the Challenge.
---
A Reset cannot be purchased after the Challenge period has fully expired and is not available for Earning Accounts.
If only one or two days remain after a breach, buying a new Challenge may be more practical because it provides the full time allowance.

Extend allows the trader to purchase additional time—usually 30 more days—to complete the profit target when a Challenge is close to expiry.
The account must be profitable and free of rule breaches.
---
Requirements generally include a current balance above the starting balance, no daily or maximum loss breach, and a request during the final days of the Challenge, often one to five days before expiry.
The option is mainly relevant to Futures Challenges because they have a fixed time limit.
---
The Extend option appears beside the active account in the Dashboard. It requires an additional fee, normally lower than the price of a new Challenge.
A Challenge may usually be extended once or twice depending on the plan.
---
Extension cannot be requested after the Challenge has officially expired. Once the profit target is reached and the account is promoted, no extension is needed.
If the balance is below the starting balance near expiry, Extend may not appear; Reset may be the available option instead.

1. System or Error Exploitation

---
8. Challenge-Condition Manipulation
Using tiny positions after one large trade merely to complete required days, or showing extreme inconsistency in position sizing, is prohibited.
---
9. EA Restrictions
EAs may not copy trades, perform Tick Scalping, or use any form of arbitrage. A third-party EA supplied without source code carries a risk of Challenge rejection.
---
10. General Rules
Any trading that violates platform terms, harms the company, or does not resemble realistic market trading is prohibited.
Possible consequences include account cancellation, a user ban, and no fee refund.
Any method based on deception, exploitation, or abnormal risk is rejected.
