Rules & Terms
Every single step challenge evaluation plan lasts 45 days. You have 45 days to pass the challenge. Verification takes place straight after and then a live account is provided. If you fail any of the objectives you will receive an email from your account manager to guide you further.
Unlike many prop firms, we understand some traders will have bad days. This is why all our account mangers at IFA work very closely with traders to ensure we can provide them a solution or another chance using alternative funding methods.
IFA (Instant funded Account) has three main branches. Our main office is located in London. We also have offices in Dubai and Israel.
Every trader who joins us has their very own dedicated personal account manager, who you stay in contact with at all times. Through the members area you can find your account managers direct contact details and even WhatsApp them for live support.
After you have passed all the Trading Objectives set out for your plan, you will receive a email notification about your success, and you don’t need to trade the account any more once you’ve reached your profit target. We will be automatically alerted that you have passed your single step challenge and we will proceed to evaluate your trading results accordingly.
After 1-2 business days, we will then send you the new account login credentials for your live funded account, along with dahsboard logins. In some cases if your trading crypto we may ask you to complete an additional challenge. As crypto trading carries more risk than regular trading.
NOTE: IFA do NOT fund high risk traders. This means if you pass the challenge in 3 days, we will not fund you. The verification team do not fund high risk traders and our algorithms can determine this. Please ensure you do not try pass the challenge within a few days, as this will not get you funded and will violate the terms.

If a trader breaches any of the Trading Objectives during the Evaluation, their account will be automatically disqualified, and they will lose eligibility to continue in the program. If the breach occurs on a live trading account, the corresponding Trading Account Agreement will be terminated. The trader can always start from scratch by purchasing another challenge if they wish to become a funded trader again. However, please note that there are no discounts for repetitions, and the initial fee paid for the challenge will be forfeited if the Trading Objectives are violated. Therefore, it is crucial to trade safely and respect the rules.
However, there is an exception to this rule. If the trader manages to not breach any of the Trading Objectives and their account ends in profit at the end of the trading duration with all positions closed, they will receive a new challenge free of charge, this rule only applies for $200,000 Evaluation Challenges. We understand that sometimes the market conditions are not in the trader’s favour, and we appreciate their good trading skills and ability to manage risk properly. However this is down to account manager discretion. Note, if you fail any of the rules your fee will not be refunded.
For our single step evaluation the rules are very simple. All our plans have the same rules, the only difference is the profit targets and drawdown levels. Check here for a full breakdown on each plan. A drawdown is a maximum daily loss. All single step challenges have a 4% drawdown limit, which means you cannot loose no more than 4% of your account in a single day in drawdown, this would trigger the loss limit.
Instant Funded Account have a fixed 5% drawdown loss limit.
IFA do NOT fund high risk traders. If you pass your challenge in 3 days or within a short period of time, we will not fund you. As this type of trading is classed as high risk. The verification team look for consistency in all traders. High risk scalpers, 50 lot positions will get you automatically disqualified for a funded account. If hyperactivity is recorded on our server broker, a repeat violation can breach your challenge and instant funded account.
Live trading accounts need to reach the minimum amount of $1000 for withdrawal and must ensure they trade a minimum 12 trading days per calendar month. You can request withdrawals up-to 2 times each week once you have been trading with us for 3 months. All open positions need to be closed when requesting for payout. Payouts come in the form of bank transfer (DEEL) and we also offer crypto withdrawals in the form of USDT.
Bank transfer can take up to 3 working days. Crypto payouts are sent out within 48 hours of request approval.
No – you do NOT need to use a stop loss when trading. This is completely up-to the trader.
EAs are allowed. Copy trading is allowed.
Manual trading strategies and certain EAs can trigger hyperactivity, this will automatically breach your account terms if the broker has recorded any hyperactivity on your account.
Expert Advisors or forex robots have gained popularity among traders who want to eliminate the influence of emotions on their trading decisions. However, it is important to note that EAs are not independent money-makers and require careful consideration when choosing which one to use.
Allowing other people to trade your instant funded account or evaluation challenge is a violation of the terms. If found we reserve the right to immediately terminate your account. IFA & ICMarkets uses geo IP tracking to ensure your account registration IP and location matches your trading location server.
When selecting an Expert Advisor, traders must first define their trading objectives and determine the type of market conditions the EA will operate in. This will help narrow down the selection of available EAs that align with their specific needs and trading strategies. If hyper-activity is recorded then we reserve the right to cancel your account or evaluation. For additional support on EAs contact your account manager first in any case.
Furthermore, traders should evaluate the performance of the EA by analyzing its backtesting and live trading results. It is essential to ensure that the EA has a track record of generating consistent profits over an extended period and is not simply relying on a few lucky trades to produce a high return.
Additionally, traders must assess the risk management capabilities of the EA, such as stop-loss and take-profit levels, and ensure they align with their risk tolerance and money management strategies.
It is also essential to consider the technical aspects of the EA, such as the programming language used to create it and the level of customization and flexibility it offers. This will allow traders to make necessary modifications to the EA to optimize its performance for their specific trading needs.
We scale traders who have been actively trading and withdrawing for at least 3 months. If you wish to be scaled speak to your dedicated account manager who will guide you on your personal scaling program. Traders can also withdraw and scale at the same. Once you have reached 12% of your balance or withdraws, we can scale your account by up-to 200%.
