Gripen Funding | The Rules, in Plain English

The only three things you have to remember

Examples below use a $100,000 1-Step account. The percentages are the same on every size — just scale the dollars.

Grow the account 10%

This is your goal. Reach it and you pass the test.

Make$10,000

Account goes to$110,000

Don't lose 5% in one day

Your daily safety limit. It resets fresh every day at 5:00 PM New York time.

Daily limit$5,000

Resets5:00 PM EST

Don't lose 6% overall

Your total safety budget across the whole account, not just one day.

Total budget$6,000

Floor starts at$94,000

There is no deadline. The only timing rule is that you place at least one trade every 30 days, so accounts don't sit unused.

1-Step — every rule

Dollar column assumes a $100,000 account.

Rule	Limit	On $100,000	What it means
Profit goal	10%	$10,000	Hit this and you pass. Once funded there's no cap on what you can make.
Most you can lose in a day	5%	$5,000	Break it and the account closes. Account closes
Most you can lose in total	6%	$6,000	Your floor rises as you profit, then locks once you're above your starting balance. Account closes
Must trade sometimes	Every 30 days	1 trade	Just place one trade a month so the account stays active. Account closes
Buying power	1:20	$1 → $20	In forex and gold. Indices 1:10, oil 1:5, crypto 1:2.
Weekend trades	Close them	Fri 3:45PM	Unless you bought the weekend add-on. Warning only
Time limit	None	None	Take as long as you want. Nothing expires.

2-Step — every rule

Dollar column assumes a $100,000 account.

Swipe the table sideways →

Rule	Limit	On $100,000	What it means
Profit goal — Test 1	10%	$10,000	Pass this and you move to Test 2.
Profit goal — Test 2	5%	$5,000	Half the target. Pass and you're funded.
Most you can lose in a day	4%	$4,000	Break it and the account closes. Account closes
Most you can lose in total	8%	$8,000	This one never moves — your floor stays at $92,000 no matter how much you profit. Account closes
Must trade sometimes	Every 30 days	1 trade	One trade a month per phase keeps the account active. Account closes
Buying power	1:30	$1 → $30	In forex and gold — more than the 1-Step.
Weekend trades	Close them	Fri 3:45PM	Unless you bought the weekend add-on. Warning only
Time limit	None	None	Take as long as you want. Nothing expires.

If You Break A Rule

There are only two outcomes.

The account closes

This happens right away, with no warning. It applies to exactly three things:

→ Losing more than your daily limit
→ Losing more than your total limit
→ Not trading for 30 days straight

You just get a warning

Your account stays open and alive. We let you know, and the platform may close the position for you.

→ Leaving a trade open over the weekend without the add-on

Good News

Your daily limit grows when you're winning.

Every day at 5:00 PM New York time your daily limit resets. We calculate it from whichever is higher — your closing balance, or your equity if you have winning trades still open.

In plain terms: if you're up on the day, you get more room tomorrow, not less.

Worked example

Your account$100,000

Daily limit5%

You're up, equity at 5PM$102,000

So tomorrow you can lose$5,100

Account closes only at$96,900

Because you were up $2,000, you got $100 of extra room instead of the flat $5,000.

Not Allowed

Six things that will get you removed

The theme is simple: trade like it's a real account. Anything built purely to game the test isn't allowed.

Trading right around big newsDon't open a position within 3 minutes before or after a scheduled news event.
Software sold to beat prop testsNormal bots and automated strategies are fine. Tools marketed specifically to pass challenges are not.
Copy trading or paid signalsThe trading decisions have to be yours.
Gambling the accountGoing all-in with max size to hit the target in one trade.
Hedging between two accountsBuying on one account and selling the same thing on another.
Switching strategy once fundedTrade the funded account the same way you traded the test.
