Rule by rule
01

Profit Target: 10%

The Profit Target is the net profit required to successfully complete Phase 1 of the Evaluation. It is calculated as 10% of your initial starting balance. All open trades must be closed for the system to formally register that the target has been met.

Example

On a $100,000 account, your 10% Profit Target is reached once your closed account balance/equity hits $110,000.

Why it exists

This target proves your ability to extract value from the market. A 10% gain without breaching risk parameters demonstrates an effective trading edge and strategy execution, signaling you are ready to handle live capital.

02

Daily Loss Limit: 3% (Rollover Based)

The Daily Loss Limit is fixed once every 24 hours at the daily market rollover time (5:00 PM EST). The system takes the highest value between your closed Balance and floating Equity at exactly 5:00 PM EST, then calculates 3% from that higher value to set your minimum allowed equity floor for the next trading day. This floor remains completely static during the day and does not trail upward with intra-day profits.

Example

At the 5:00 PM EST rollover, your closed Balance is $101,000 but an open trade pushes your floating Equity to $102,000. Since Equity is higher, the system locks in $102,000 as the baseline. 3% of $102,000 = $3,060, so your minimum allowed equity is set at $98,940. If your equity drops below $98,940 at any point before the next rollover, the account is breached.

Why it exists

This boundary enforces institutional risk consistency. By resetting the risk floor only at daily intervals, it gives traders a clear, predictable risk budget for the day, preventing over-exposure while ensuring accumulated daily gains are partially protected at each rollover.

03

Max Loss: 6% (Trailing Lock, Balance Based)

The Maximum Loss is a dynamic drawdown that follows your closed account balance. It is set at 6% below your highest recorded closed balance. As your balance increases from winning trades, the trailing floor moves up automatically and permanently locks once it reaches your initial starting balance.

Example

You start with $100,000. The initial 6% floor is $94,000. Grow your balance to $102,000 and the floor trails up to $95,880. Reach $106,000 or more and the floor locks permanently at $100,000 (your starting balance) and never trails higher, letting you trade freely above it.

Why it exists

This rule ensures a trader preserves accumulated profits and doesn't give back all their gains to the market. By locking at the initial balance, it safeguards the core funding capital while testing your consistency in holding onto performance.

04

Minimum Trading Days: 3 Days of 0.5%

You must log at least 3 individual trading days where you generate a net profit of at least 0.5% of the starting balance per day. The days do not need to be consecutive.

Example

On a $100,000 account, 0.5% equals $500. Mon: +$700 (Day 1). Tue: −$300 (invalid). Wed: +$900 (Day 2). Thu: +$200 (invalid). Fri: +$650 (Day 3). The 3-day requirement is met.

Why it exists

This prevents "lucky gamblers" who pass an entire evaluation with a single massive, unmanaged position. It proves your profitability is repeatable and structured over multiple market sessions.

05

Time Limit: Unlimited

There is no calendar deadline to complete the evaluation. Your account remains active as long as you do not violate the daily or maximum loss limits.

Example

You can hit your 10% profit target in 4 days, 4 weeks, or 4 months. The system waits for your performance without artificial pressure.

Why it exists

Forcing traders to hit targets under tight deadlines induces stress and over-leveraging. By removing the time limit, 100x.club encourages relaxed, patient, controlled execution based purely on high-probability setups.

06

Leverage: Up to 1:100 (FX)

Leverage lets you control larger positions with a smaller capital layout. Limits by asset class: Forex 1:100, Metals 1:30, Indices 1:30, Energy 1:20, Crypto 1:2. These may adjust during extreme volatility; formal notifications will be distributed.

Example

With 1:100 leverage on FX, a $1,000 margin allocation lets you open a position worth up to $100,000 in nominal value.

07

News Trading: Not Allowed

Opening or closing positions within 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after high-impact macroeconomic announcements (e.g. NFP, FOMC, CPI) is strictly prohibited. Compliance is verified via a comprehensive account audit upon phase completion or during payout requests.

Example

If the CPI report drops at 8:30 AM EST, you cannot execute, modify, or close any trades between 8:25 and 8:35 AM EST. Violations found retroactively during audits result in trade invalidation or account breach.

Why it exists

Major news events cause massive slippage, widening spreads, and unpredictable black-swan gaps. Trading then is gambling, not professional speculation, we protect our capital from chaotic market behaviour.

08

Profit Split: 80%

Once funded, you keep a baseline of 80% of all net profits, while the firm retains 20%. You can purchase a "95% Profit Split Add-On" during evaluation checkout to permanently increase your share to 95% once funded.

Example

You make $10,000 of profit on your funded account. Standard: $8,000 is transferred to you. With the 95% Add-On: you receive $9,500 and 100x.club retains only $500.

09

Payout Frequency: Every 14 Days

Standard profits are eligible for withdrawal every 14 calendar days from the start of live trading. A "5-Day Payout Add-On" at checkout accelerates the schedule to every 5 days instead of 14.

Example

Standard: a first live trade on the 1st allows a payout request on the 15th. With the 5-Day Add-On, you can request your payout as early as the 6th.

10

Overnight / Overweekend: Allowed

You may keep trades open through the nightly market close and across weekend closures without forced liquidations. Holding positions overnight or over the weekend incurs standard rollover/swap fees, factor these into long-term swing positions.

Example

Open a EURUSD swing trade Thursday and hold it until the following Tuesday: the position will not be closed by the system, but your balance/equity is debited or credited standard swap fees each night at market close.

11

Payout Lock: Yes

Applies specifically after your first successful funded payout. At that moment your dynamic trailing drawdown stops moving completely and locks permanently at the initial starting balance. To avoid an accidental breach, keep a cash buffer in the account rather than withdrawing 100% of available profits.

Example

On a $100,000 account you grow to $106,000; your floor is trailed to $100,000. Withdraw the full $6,000 and your balance drops back to exactly $100,000, also your locked floor, so any subsequent loss breaches the account. Withdraw only $4,000 and your balance is $102,000 with the floor at $100,000: a safe $2,000 buffer.

Why it exists

This rewards consistent traders by stopping the trailing mechanic and removing the "moving target". It provides a static, permanent shield at the starting baseline so future payouts operate from a stable, transparent foundation.
