Know the Rules
Understand the trading guidelines, risk limits, and payout structure before you start your evaluation. These rules apply to every Voltra account and keep the playing field fair for everyone.
View Plans →The core rules
Profit target
Reach your plan's profit target (measured on realized profit) while respecting every other rule, and your account passes automatically.
Trailing drawdown
Your maximum-loss limit trails your highest end-of-day balance. If your equity drops to the drawdown floor, the account becomes Ineligible. Once the floor reaches your starting balance, it locks there.
Daily loss limit
A cap on how much you can lose in a single session. Reaching it closes your open positions and locks trading for the rest of the day — it does not close the account. Trading reopens at the daily session open (6:00 PM ET) and you continue with the balance you have left.
Minimum trading days
You must trade on at least the minimum number of days for your plan before passing (as low as 1 day, depending on the plan).
Consistency rule
No single day may account for more than the published percentage of your total profit. This rewards steady results, not one lucky day. Evaluation and funded accounts each have their own consistency check.
Contract limits
Each plan caps how many contracts you can hold at once, split into micros and minis (1 mini = 10 micros). Orders beyond your limit are rejected automatically.
Scaling plan (funded)
On funded accounts, your maximum contracts grow as your account profit grows, following the published tiers. Your limit does not increase in the middle of a session.
Flat at daily close
All open positions are closed automatically at 4:10 PM ET, and new trades are blocked until the session reopens at 6:00 PM ET. No positions are held overnight or over the weekend.
No hedging
Holding opposite positions in the same instrument to lock in a guaranteed outcome — inside one account or across your own accounts — is prohibited. Detected hedging closes both accounts.
No collusion or account sharing
Coordinating trades with other traders (opposite entries at the same time, price, and size) is flagged for review. Accounts are for one person only.
One verified holder per account
Do not share, sell, or transfer your account. Only the identity-verified (KYC) account holder may trade it.
No market manipulation
No spoofing, layering, wash trades, or other manipulative or illegal order activity — the same rules every regulated exchange already requires.
Identity verification (KYC)
Identity verification must be completed by the account holder alone. No other person may appear on camera or assist during the process, and the face verified must match the account owner. This protects your account and prevents fraud.
Frequently asked questions
How does funded trading work? Am I borrowing money?
No. Voltra is an evaluation firm. You trade a simulated account to demonstrate skill and discipline. You never borrow money and never risk more than your evaluation fee. Payouts on funded accounts are paid by Voltra based on the account's simulated performance.
Are the accounts simulated? Is any of this real money?
All trading accounts are simulated (demo) environments — no real market orders are placed and you are not trading your own capital. The payouts you earn on a funded account are real money paid by Voltra.
Is the evaluation fee refundable?
Monthly membership fees are generally non-refundable, including the current billing period. See the Terms & Conditions for the full refund policy.
Are there recurring or monthly fees?
Yes — evaluations are a monthly membership: you pay the plan price each month while the account is in evaluation, and billing stops when you pass to a funded account or cancel from Billing. Funded accounts may carry a one-time activation fee, shown before you activate.
Can I have more than one account?
Yes. You can run as many evaluations as you like at the same time, and hold up to 5 funded accounts at once.
What payment methods do you accept?
The payment methods available at checkout, including card. The exact options are shown on the checkout page.
What happens after I pass?
Your evaluation is marked Passed. You complete activation (identity verification, the funded account agreement, your tax form, and any activation fee), and a fresh funded account is created for you.
How long do I have to pass the evaluation?
There is no time limit. You only need to meet the minimum trading days and reach the profit target while respecting the rules.
What are exchange fees and why do I pay them?
Real futures markets charge data and exchange fees. On simulated accounts these are reflected as a small commission per contract, mirroring real trading conditions — this is standard across the industry.
What happens if I break a rule?
Hitting the daily loss limit only pauses trading for the rest of that day — the account is not lost and reopens next session. Breaching the maximum drawdown ends the evaluation and the account is marked Ineligible; an evaluation can then be reset to a fresh start from your account page. On funded accounts, a confirmed rule violation may end the account, as described in the Terms.
