IF1 provides instant access to a trading account active for 24 hours from the first trade. Profits are shared at a 90% split, and the account closes automatically when the period ends. If you reach 3% profit and meet the consistency rule, you qualify for payout.
Below, you’ll find the key rules and answers to common questions. For full details, please refer to our Trading Rules and FAQ.

Risk Limits
Daily Loss
You may not lose more than 2% of your account value per day.
At 21:00 UTC (market rollover), your Daily Loss Limit is recalculated based on the higher of:
- Your Balance (excluding open trades)
- Your Equity (including open trades)
Example: If your Balance is $10,000 and your Equity is $10,500 at 21:00 UTC, the Daily Loss Limit for the next day will be 2% of $10,500 = $210.
Static Drawdown
Your maximum loss is limited to 4% of your starting balance.
Example: with $10,000 starting balance, your account can’t drop below $9,600.
Max Lot Rule
Maximum Lot Rule sets clear limits on total lot sizes per asset class. This helps traders manage risk effectively and ensures consistent, responsible trading.
Lot size limits apply to each asset class. Multiple positions within the same category are counted together when calculating the total volume.
Violating the Maximum Lot Rule results in a full account reset if the account is eligible for a payout.
The table below shows the maximum allowable lot sizes for Instant Funding accounts. Review it carefully to ensure your trades stay within limits.
| IF1 account size | FX | Commodities/ Metals | Indices | Crypto |
| $2,000 | 0.8 | 0.06 | 0.4 | 0.2 |
| $5,000 | 2 | 0.15 | 1 | 0.5 |
| $10,000 | 4 | 0.3 | 2 | 1 |
Risk per Trading Instrument
You may not risk more than 1% of your starting account balance on a single trading instrument. Exceeding this limit is classified as gambling and will result in a hard breach.
Payouts
You can request one payout after the 24-hour account period ends, if both of the following apply:

Example: If your total profit is $1,000, your best trade must be $150 or less - Your net profit is at least 3% of your starting balance
How to request a withdrawal:
