Trading Rules
One-Phase: no single day's profit may exceed 30% of the current payout cycle's profit target. Two-Phase: no single day's profit may exceed 40% of total eval profit (eval phase) or 40% of the current milestone's profit requirement (funded phase). The window resets after every payout. Trade League has no consistency rule.
Updated
The consistency rule stops a single outlier day from carrying an entire payout cycle. The percentage and the denominator differ by product — this is the detail people get wrong most often.
One-Phase challenges — 30% of the current cycle's target
No single trading day's net profit may exceed 30% of the current payout cycle's profit target — not 30% of your total profit.
- First cycle: the target is the tier's profit target — $3,000 / $6,000 / $9,000. So the max single-day profit is $900 / $1,800 / $2,700.
- After each payout: the cycle resets and the target becomes the tier's additional-profit requirement — $2,600 / $4,500 / $6,000. Max single day becomes $780 / $1,350 / $1,800.
Two-Phase challenges — 40%
- Eval phase: no single day's net profit may exceed 40% of your total net profit accumulated during the eval.
- Funded phase: no single day's net profit may exceed 40% of the current milestone's profit requirement ($2,000 / $4,000 / $6,000 by tier — so max single day $800 / $1,600 / $2,400). The consistency window resets to zero at each milestone payout, alongside the winning-day counter.
Trade League
Trade League has no consistency rule — you're ranked purely by final account balance at tournament close.
Practical tips
- A big green day isn't wasted — but you'll need to build the rest of the cycle's profit around it before you're payout-eligible.
- The denominator is always the current cycle or milestone requirement, never your lifetime profit and never your account balance.

- Are there daily loss limits?No. No TradeSport product has a daily loss limit — not One-Phase challenges, not Two-Phase challenges, not Trade League. The only loss rules are each product's max loss / drawdown.
- Can I appeal a disqualification?Disqualification decisions are discretionary under the governing terms, and the reason is shared where possible. There's no formal appeals process, but if you believe a decision was made in error, contact support@trade-sport.com with your account details and the review can be revisited with any information you provide.
- Can I use trading bots or automated strategies?No. All trading must be manual — automated trading systems, bots, and algorithmic strategies are prohibited on every TradeSport account, with no approval path. Discretionary use of standard platform tools — alerts, bracket orders, and similar — is allowed.
- How does the drawdown work? (trailing vs. locked)Challenge accounts use an intraday trailing drawdown until your first payout (or first milestone payout on Two-Phase), then the floor permanently locks at your starting balance plus $100 and stops trailing. Trade League uses a different mechanic: a Limited End-of-Day trailing drawdown plus a $2,000 intraday max loss. No TradeSport product uses a static drawdown.
- Is copy trading allowed?Copy trading across accounts you own is allowed. Copy trading, coordinated trading, and account sharing across accounts belonging to different people are prohibited and are grounds for disqualification and forfeiture. Hedging is prohibited everywhere, including across your own accounts.
