This phase tests your ability to reach a profit target while managing risk within the defined loss limits and maintaining consistent daily performance.

Trading Objectives:

A confirmation phase to prove consistency at a reduced target.

Trading Objectives:

Once you pass pass both phases, you will need to complete KYC and Sign Contract and then you will be offered a Funded Account with simulated capital allocation.

The Maximum Loss Limit is the total amount you are not allowed to lose on your account overall. It is calculated from your initial account balance and is static — the threshold never moves, regardless of how much profit you accumulate.

Violating this rule is a Hard Breach and will lead to account closure.

Example 1: $25,000 account Your equity or balance cannot hit $23,000 at any point. This floor stays at $23,000 for the life of the account — even if you grow to $40,000, the breach level remains $23,000.

Example 2: $100,000 account Your equity or balance cannot hit $92,000 at any point. If your account grows to $130,000, you are still breached the moment equity or balance touches $92,000.

IMPORTANT: Both balance and equity (realized balance + floating P/L) are measured against this floor. A floating drawdown on an open position can breach your account just as quickly as a closed loss — you do not need to close the trade for the breach to trigger.

The Daily Loss Limit is the maximum amount you can lose in a single trading day. It is set at a fixed 4% of your starting balance and is calculated using your balance at the start of the day. It resets daily at 5:00 PM EST.

Violating this rule is a Hard Breach and will lead to account closure.

Example 1: Start-of-day balance $100,000 Your equity cannot drop to $96,000 or below at any point during the day. A combined drawdown (closed losses + floating P/L) of $4,000 will breach the account.

Example 2: Start-of-day balance $108,000 (after previous gains) Your equity cannot drop to $103,680 or below during the day. Because the limit is recalculated from your start-of-day balance, profits from previous days raise the floor — your daily risk allowance scales up as the account grows.

IMPORTANT: The Daily Loss Limit is measured against equity, not just closed P/L. Floating losses on open positions count in real time — if your equity touches the 4% floor for even a moment, the account is breached.

The Daily Loss Limit resets daily at 5:00 PM EST. You can check the reset timer on your Fortunes Funding dashboard.

The Consistency Rule is the core discipline mechanic of The Spartan. No single trading day may account for more than 25% of your profit for the applicable measurement period. This rule applies at three distinct checkpoints:

Failing the Consistency Rule during evaluation does not breach the account, but prevents you from passing the phase — you must continue trading (without breaching Max Loss or Daily Loss) until your best day represents 25% or less of total profit.

Failing the Consistency Rule at payout request is a Soft Breach and results in that payout being withheld until consistency is restored.

Example 1: Phase 1 evaluation — fails consistency On a $100,000 account, you reach the 8% target ($8,000 profit). Your single best trading day made $2,500. $2,500 ÷ $8,000 = 31.25%. This exceeds 25% and you cannot pass yet — you must continue trading until either (a) your best day drops below 25% of total profit (through additional profitable days), or (b) you accumulate enough total profit that your best day falls below the threshold.

Example 2: Phase 1 evaluation — passes consistency On a $100,000 account, you reach the 8% target ($8,000 profit). Your single best trading day made $1,800. $1,800 ÷ $8,000 = 22.5%. This is below 25% — you pass the phase.

Example 3: Funded Account payout request Since your last payout, you have generated $6,000 in profit. Your best single day during that period was $1,400. $1,400 ÷ $6,000 = 23.3%. You are eligible to request a payout.

IMPORTANT: The Consistency Rule is designed to reward steady, professional trading and screen out one-lucky-day accounts. If you suspect you are close to the 25% threshold, the safest path is to keep trading at your normal size — do not place oversized trades to "catch up" the ratio, as this often backfires into a Daily Loss or Maximum Loss breach.

Funded Accounts enforce a maximum risk cap per symbol, applied to your currently open positions on that instrument. This means the combined realized and floating loss across all open positions on the same symbol at any given moment must not exceed 2% of the initial account balance.

Because Funded Accounts are also capped at 2 positions per symbol per direction (4 total per symbol), this rule applies to whatever combination of open trades you hold on that instrument.

This rule does not apply during Phase 1 or Phase 2.

Violating this rule is a Hard Breach and will result in account closure.

Example 1: $25,000 Funded Account — single open trade You open one XAUUSD position. The maximum floating loss allowed on that trade is $500. A floating or realized loss of $500 or more on that position will breach the account.

Example 2: $100,000 Funded Account — two open positions, same direction You hold two long EURUSD positions open simultaneously. Position 1 is floating at -$1,200 and position 2 is floating at -$900. Combined floating loss on EURUSD is $2,100 — this exceeds the 2% cap ($2,000) and will breach the account.

Example 3: $100,000 Funded Account — hedged positions on the same symbol You hold one long and one short XAUUSD position open at the same time. If the long side is floating -$1,400 and the short side is floating -$700, the combined floating exposure on XAUUSD is $2,100 — this exceeds the $2,000 cap and will breach the account. Hedging does not offset the per-symbol risk calculation.

IMPORTANT: The 2% cap applies to your total open exposure on a symbol at any moment, not cumulative losses over the day. Once a position is fully closed, its realized loss no longer counts toward the per-symbol cap — however, it still counts toward the Maximum Loss Limit and Daily Loss Limit.

IMPORTANT — anti-circumvention: Systematically closing positions just before they would breach the 2% threshold and reopening new positions in the same direction to "reset" the cap is considered circumvention of the risk rule. If our risk team identifies this pattern, Fortunes Funding reserves the right to escalate to a Hard Breach and void associated profits. The rule exists to enforce disciplined risk management — not to be gamed through rapid close-and-reopen cycles.

The following strategies are strictly not allowed on Funded Accounts. Using any of them is a Hard Breach and will result in account closure, with profits potentially voided:

IMPORTANT: EAs and algorithmic strategies are permitted on Funded Accounts provided they are non-toxic. If you are unsure whether your EA qualifies, contact support before deploying it. Copy trading is only allowed across accounts owned by the same user.

A trading account will be breached if it remains inactive for 30 consecutive days. To keep the account active, you must open and close at least one trade within this period. If no trades are completed during the 30-day window, the account will be breached.

The Spartan permits news trading during the Evaluation phases. On the Funded Account, news trading requires an add-on.

We use Forex Factory as our official news source, accessible directly through your dashboard. High-impact news events are highlighted in red.

IMPORTANT: Purposely and repeatedly trading news without the News Add-on on a Funded Account may escalate from a Soft Breach (profit removal) to a Hard Breach (account closure). Fortunes Funding reserves the right to make this determination at its discretion.

Weekend holding is permitted on all account types — Phase 1, Phase 2, and Funded Accounts. You may hold positions open through Friday close into Monday open without penalty.

IMPORTANT: Weekend holding is subject to higher overnight swap costs and exposure to weekend gaps. We recommend reducing position size before the weekend when volatility is expected.

To maintain balanced exposure, Funded Accounts enforce a position cap per instrument:

Example: On EURUSD, you may hold up to 2 long positions and 2 short positions simultaneously, for a maximum of 4 open positions on that pair.

This rule does not apply during Phase 1 or Phase 2.

Copy trading is permitted with restrictions:

Violating this rule may result in profit removal or account closure depending on severity.

Fortunes Funding operates on a bi-weekly reward cycle by default, with faster payout speeds available via add-on.

Standard Reward Schedule (Bi-Weekly)

7-Day Reward Cycle (Add-On)

Selected at checkout, this add-on accelerates your reward cycle to every 7 calendar days after your first executed trade.

Instant Rewards (Add-On)

Selected at checkout, this add-on allows you to request rewards on demand after the minimum qualifying period.

Your Spartan challenge fee is 100% refunded on your first payout — no minimum payout size required to qualify.

IMPORTANT: Two mechanics activate after your first payout:

1. MLL Lock — Your Maximum Loss Level floor locks at your starting balance. The 8% static drawdown is replaced by a hard floor at your initial balance.

2. Minimum Balance Rule — Your account balance must remain above your starting balance at all times post-payout. Dropping at or below starting balance is a Hard Breach.

You qualify for a scale-up once all three of the following conditions are met:

Each time you qualify, your account is scaled as follows:

Example: $100,000 Funded Account After meeting the three conditions, your account is scaled to $125,000. On the next scale-up qualification, it scales to $156,250, and so on, until you reach the $1,500,000 cap.
