Trading Rules

Rules written in plain language

No buried clauses. No trick rules designed to invalidate payouts. Read everything before you start your challenge.

📏Core Risk Rules

These three rules apply on all evaluation phases and funded accounts. Breaching any one of them ends the account.

Note: all accounts — evaluation and funded — trade on simulated capital against live market prices. No real funds are deposited or traded.

RuleEvaluationFunded
Maximum Drawdown8% of starting balance8% trailing
Daily Drawdown4% of starting balance4% of starting balance
Minimum Trading Days5 calendar daysNone

Daily drawdown resets at midnight server time. It is calculated on the starting balance for that day — not the current balance. Maximum drawdown on funded accounts is trailing: it moves up as your balance grows, and never moves down.

🚫Prohibited Practices
Latency arbitrage — exploiting a faster external feed to predict moves on the KorabKash platform is strictly prohibited
Tick scalping / price manipulation — strategies that exploit stale or incorrect pricing
Account passing services — having a third party trade your challenge on your behalf for profit is prohibited
Coordinated account abuse — using multiple accounts to artificially guarantee a win on one by losing on another
Pure news spiking — entering positions within 2 minutes before or after major news events without any directional analysis — only the exploitation of volatility spikes with no underlying strategy basis is prohibited. Genuine news traders are not affected.

Accounts closed for prohibited strategies are not eligible for a free retry and the challenge fee is not refunded.

🔁Free Retry Policy
Every 2-Step challenge includes one free retry if you breach during evaluation. Your retry account is issued within 24 hours of your breach notification.

The retry account is subject to the same rules as the original challenge. Instant Funded and 1-Step accounts are not eligible for a free retry. Accounts closed for prohibited strategies are not eligible.

⚖️Account Termination & Appeals

If your account is terminated, you will receive an email with the specific reason. You may submit an appeal within 7 calendar days if you believe the termination was in error. Appeals are reviewed within 3 business days. KorabKash's decision on appeals is final.

To appeal, email support@korabkash.online with your account ID and a clear explanation of why you believe the decision was incorrect.
