FXIFY rules explained

Short answer

The rules that decide whether you keep a FXIFY account are the drawdown model (static), the consistency requirement (applies on selected plans — check before purchase) and the 1-step evaluation targets. Everything else — news, EAs, weekend holding — is secondary until you have those three internalised.

The drawdown mechanic — read this twice

FXIFY 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 FXIFY the stated position is: Applies on selected plans — check before purchase. 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 FXIFY's public rulebook and paired with the actual mechanic, because "allowed" means very different things from firm to firm.

  • News trading: conditionally allowed — News trading is a paid add-on on some plans and included on others — verify before checkout, this is FXIFY's most common support complaint.
  • Expert advisors / algos: allowed — EAs allowed; the broker-backed execution is one of the reasons algo traders use it.
  • Weekend holding: conditionally allowed — Weekend holding is an add-on rather than a default on several plans.
  • Overnight holding: allowed — Overnight positions allowed.
  • Copy trading: conditionally allowed — Own accounts only.
  • No time limit: allowed — No deadline on the standard evaluations.
  • Crypto pairs: allowed — Crypto CFDs available through the FXPIG-backed feed.
  • No consistency rule: conditionally allowed — Applies on selected plans — read the plan sheet, not the homepage.

Rules that end accounts in practice

Beyond the headline limits, these are the clauses FXIFY actually enforces.

  • 10% maximum drawdown, 4% daily loss limit: Consistent across the evaluation paths. The daily limit includes floating losses, so an open position through a news print can breach you before the trade closes. Verify whether your specific product uses static or trailing max drawdown at purchase — FXIFY has run both.
  • No time limit on evaluations: None of the evaluation paths run a countdown clock, which removes the single biggest cause of forced over-trading. A 3-phase path with roughly 5% targets per phase is a genuinely low-stress route for a newer trader.
  • Permissive strategy rules: EAs, grid and martingale are allowed within limits — unusual in a category that bans automation by default. That, plus 300+ instruments including stock and crypto CFDs, is why systematic traders end up here.
  • Add-ons change your rulebook: Leverage, split, payout frequency and drawdown protection are all purchasable modifiers. Two FXIFY traders can be operating under materially different rules on the same account size, so generic reviews of the FXIFY rules are unreliable — read your own order confirmation.

Rule stability

FXIFY appears 1 time in our rule-change register. None of those changes were applied retroactively to open accounts. A rulebook that moves is a rulebook you have to re-read before every payout cycle.
