Trading rules
KG Funded uses a single, transparent set of trading objectives. Meet the profit target without breaching the loss limit, trade for the minimum number of days, and you can progress toward a payout. Every value below is taken from the KG Funded platform.
Core objectives
| Profit target | +8% of your starting balance to pass the evaluation. |
| Maximum loss | Your equity must stay above 95% of your starting balance — a 5% maximum loss. |
| Maximum daily loss | Your equity must not fall more than 5% below the equity you started the day with. The daily limit resets at the start of each day. |
| Trailing profit-lock | Once your account is in profit, it must stay above 90% of the highest equity it has reached. In other words, your loss limit is always the higher of 95% of your starting balance or 90% of your peak equity — this locks in profit as your account grows. |
| Time limit | None. There is no deadline to pass the evaluation — take the time you need. |
| Holding limits | No metals position may be held while the metals market is closed (weekends, and the daily break 01:00–02:00 Dubai time / 21:00–22:00 UTC). No crypto position may be held open longer than 12 hours. Breaking either limit fails the account. |
| Minimum trading days | 5 distinct trading days before your first payout. |
| Profit split | You keep 80%–90% of profits, depending on account size (see programs). |
The full drawdown, eligibility and conduct rules — including any conditions specific to funded accounts — are set out in the Terms & Conditions.
What counts as a breach
An account fails if its equity falls to or below its loss floor — the highest of: 95% of your starting balance, 90% of your peak equity, or 95% of the equity you started the day with (the daily limit). When a breach is detected, open positions are closed and trading is stopped on that account. You can start again with a new evaluation account at any time.
Permitted & prohibited practices
Permitted
- Copy trading
- Holding more than one account (each traded independently)
Not permitted
- Automated trading (Expert Advisors / bots)
- Trading during high-impact news events
- Holding a metals position while the metals market is closed
- Holding a crypto position open longer than 12 hours
- Hedging the same position across multiple accounts
Additional conduct conditions are set out in the Terms & Conditions.
Market hours & holding limits
These limits are automatically enforced — if you break one, the account is closed out and fails, and you would need to start a new evaluation:
- Metals (gold/silver): the metals market follows real trading hours. It is closed on weekends and for a daily one-hour break (01:00–02:00 Dubai time, i.e. 21:00–22:00 UTC). You must not leave a metals position open into a close — the chart is frozen while the market is closed.
- Crypto: crypto trades around the clock, but a single position may not be held open for more than 12 hours. Close (or take profit on) crypto positions within 12 hours.
Market-close times are global — the same moment worldwide — and shown in Dubai time (UTC+4) / UTC.
Evaluation vs. funded account
Evaluation
Reach the +8% profit target while keeping your equity above the 95% floor. This demonstrates consistent, risk-controlled trading.
Funded account
Once evaluated, you trade a funded account and can request payouts of your profit share once the payout conditions are met.
Optional plans
Consistency plan
You choose a daily profit target (15%, 25% or 30%). Before your first withdrawal you must hit that target on 5 trading days — this shows steady, repeatable performance. An easier target costs a little more. All other rules are identical to the standard account; nothing is burned for a slow day.
Consistency-Burn (200K)
A high-discipline challenge. The target is 30%, but two rules apply every day: you may not exceed 30% profit in a single day, and you must trade every trading day (Mon–Fri; weekends are free). Breaking either rule ends the account immediately. Built for experienced, disciplined traders.
