Finotive Funding rules explained

The drawdown mechanic — read this twice

Finotive Funding uses a static drawdown. The maximum-loss level is fixed from the starting balance and does not move as you make money. This is the trader-friendly model: your buffer is knowable on day one and a profitable run genuinely increases the distance to your stop-out.

Whatever the model, size your risk against the buffer rather than the account size. The practical rule we use: never let a single campaign risk more than a third of the distance between current equity and the breach level.

Consistency and payout-eligibility rules

Consistency rules are where traders lose money they have already made. On Finotive Funding the stated position is: None on the standard two-step. That leaves the payout gate mostly to the drawdown and minimum-days requirements.

The mechanic to watch is the single-best-day percentage. Where a firm caps one day at a share of total profit, a single outsized win can push a payout out by weeks because you must grind additional smaller days to bring the ratio back inside the cap. If you scalp news or trade one high-conviction setup a week, that mechanic will hurt you far more than a slightly lower profit split.

Full rule matrix

Each flag below is read off Finotive Funding's public rulebook and paired with the actual mechanic, because "allowed" means very different things from firm to firm.

• News trading: allowed — No news blackout documented on the standard evaluation.
• Expert advisors / algos: allowed — Built explicitly to support EAs and full automation as a primary use case.
• Weekend holding: conditionally allowed — Confirm current weekend-holding terms; not uniformly advertised.
• Overnight holding: allowed — Overnight positions permitted.
• Copy trading: conditionally allowed — Own accounts only.
• No time limit: allowed — No deadline on the two-phase evaluation.
• Crypto pairs: conditionally allowed — Coverage depends on the MT5 symbol list configured for the account.
• No consistency rule: allowed — No documented consistency rule on the standard evaluation.

Rules that end accounts in practice

Beyond the headline limits, these are the clauses Finotive Funding actually enforces.

• Built explicitly for EAs and full automation: Unlike firms that permit automation with caveats, Finotive markets itself around supporting it as a primary use case — a meaningful distinction if your strategy is a fully coded system rather than manual execution.
• Static drawdown on the standard evaluation: The maximum loss is calculated from the starting balance rather than trailing equity, so profit banked during the evaluation adds directly to your safety margin.
• Two-phase evaluation, no confirmed consistency rule: The core product follows the conventional two-step structure without a documented consistency requirement gating withdrawals, simplifying the payout process relative to firms with profit-concentration caps.

Rule stability

Finotive Funding does not currently appear in our rule-change register, meaning we have not logged a material rulebook revision for it in the tracked period. Re-check before each payout anyway — firms are not obliged to announce changes prominently.
