OctoFunded Rulebook

Version 1.2 (draft). Last updated: 6 October 2026. Public. Numbered. Versioned. Never changed against an open account.

0. Principles

• P-1. Simulated capital. Every account runs on simulated capital in a demo environment. No live funds are traded and you never deposit trading capital. The fee pays for access to the evaluation software and services. Approved performance rewards are paid by OctoFunded Ltd under this rulebook.
• P-2. Versioned and never retroactive. Each purchase records a contract ID (for example octo-instant-v1.0). That version governs the account until it closes. A change that only widens a limit in your favour may apply to open accounts, with a dated changelog entry. Every other change creates a new version that binds new purchases only.
• P-3. Closed list. The trading rules in section 2, the market conditions in section 6 and the prohibited practices in R-9 and Appendix A are the complete list. If a behaviour is not listed, it is not a violation. Discretion is not a rule.
• P-4. Defined consequences. Each rule states its consequence. There are no partial confiscations, surprise fees or renegotiations. Rewards already paid are yours.
• P-5. Dated claims. Every number we publish about payouts carries a date and a source. We do not promise profit or income.

1. Accounts and fees

Three programs. One-time fee, no subscription. Leverage 1:100 on Classic accounts; Perpetuals and Futures accounts use the caps in section 6. The programs are offered in each market of section 6 at the same fees as below (Futures: 1-Step and Instant only). Maximum combined simulated capital per trader: USD 400,000.

A-1. Instant (no evaluation)

A-2. 1-Step (one evaluation phase)

A-3. 2-Step (two evaluation phases)

A-4. Promotions. A promotion changes the fee you pay, never the rules of your account. Every promotion states its real discount, its end date or its number of places, and its terms are fixed when you buy.

2. Trading rules

Instant

• R-1. Maximum loss: 12%, static. Equity may never fall below 88% of the initial balance. The floor is fixed on day one and never moves up. Consequence: the account closes.
• R-2. Daily loss: 3%. Measured against the balance at the start of the server day. Consequence: the account closes.
• R-3. Consistency: 20%, at payout. When you request a payout, no single trading day may exceed 20% of the profit of the cycle. Consequence: the excess profit of that day moves to the next cycle and the rest of the cycle is paid normally. This rule never confiscates profit and never closes an account.
• R-4. Inactivity: 30 days. An account with no trade for 30 consecutive days closes.

1-Step

• R-5. Evaluation. Profit target 10%, at least 2 trading days. Consistency to pass: your best day may be at most 50% of the total profit. If it is higher, the phase simply stays open until the share falls; nothing is lost. Maximum loss 8%, trailing on the highest closed balance. Daily loss 4%, measured as in R-2. Consequence of a loss limit breach: the account closes.

2-Step

• R-6. Evaluation. Phase 1 target 10%, Phase 2 target 5%, at least 3 trading days per phase. Maximum loss 10%, static on the initial balance. Daily loss 5%, measured as in R-2. No consistency rule. Consequence of a loss limit breach: the account closes.

All programs

• R-7. News and weekends. Directional trading around news and holding positions overnight or over the weekend are allowed, within the limits above. Only the practices in R-9 are prohibited.
• R-8. Robots and AI agents. Expert Advisors, scripts and AI agents are allowed, on the platform or through the OctoFunded Robot API. The API enforces, per key, 300 requests per minute and 10 trade actions per second; requests above these limits are rejected, not penalised.
• R-9. Prohibited practices (closed list). (a) latency, reverse or cross-feed arbitrage; (b) high-frequency or bulk automated exploitation of the simulator; (c) copy trading or shared trading between accounts of different people, or letting another person trade your account; (d) paired opposing orders placed around a news release to capture the move in either direction; (e) exploiting platform faults, frozen quotes or wrong prices; (f) gap harvesting; (g) opposite positions across different accounts, at OctoFunded or another firm, so that one account is expected to fail while another passes. Account and identity rules (one client account per person, no shared API keys) are in the Terms. Each practice is defined with examples in Appendix A. Consequence: the account closes. Rewards already paid are not reclaimed.

3. Payout rules

• PA-1. Schedule. Instant: first payout 7 calendar days after activation, then every 7 days. 1-Step and 2-Step funded accounts: first payout 14 calendar days after the funded account is activated, then every 7 days. Minimum payout: USD 50. Identity verification (KYC) is required before the first payout.
• PA-2. Split. Instant: 100% of eligible profit, fixed from the first payout. 1-Step and 2-Step: 80% of eligible profit, or 90% or 100% when that split was chosen at checkout (fee multiplied by 1.1 or 1.2). The split bought is recorded on the order and applies to the evaluation and to the funded account that comes out of it.
• PA-3. Early caps (Instant). Payouts number 1 and 2 are each capped at 3% of the initial balance. From payout number 3 there is no cap.
• PA-4. Fee refund (1-Step and 2-Step). The evaluation fee is refunded together with the first approved payout.
• PA-5. Balance effect. A payout reduces the account balance. The R-1 floor stays anchored to the initial balance.

4. The OctoFunded Guarantee

• G-0. Decision on the clock. Every payout request is approved, or denied in writing citing the exact rule number, within 24 clock hours. With no decision by then, the request counts as approved.
• G-1. Payment on the clock. An approved payout not paid within 48 clock hours of approval triggers automatic compensation: 100% of the account fee is refunded and the payout remains owed in full.
• G-2. Exceptions with a hard limit. Only a documented fraud or KYC review, or declared force majeure, can pause these clocks, for at most 10 business days. After that, G-1 applies.

5. Proof

• PR-1. Payouts. Payouts are sent on-chain in USDT from the OctoFunded payout wallet (TRON address TZ8Ksz21Hk1tQuztCKCUJBRXStCav9uyjM). Each payout is listed with its date, amount and transaction hash, and anyone can verify it on Tronscan.
• PR-2. Performance report. From the first month with a payout request, we publish monthly: payouts requested, approved and denied (with the rule cited), and the share decided within G-0.
• PR-3. Rulebook integrity. Each version of this rulebook is identified by its version number and a SHA-256 hash of its text, recorded in the changelog, so anyone can check that the version they bought under has not changed.

6. Markets

Each program is offered per market. The market is part of the contract ID recorded at purchase (Classic: octo-1step-v1.0, octo-2step-v1.0, octo-instant-v1.0; Perpetuals: octo-perps-v1.2; Futures: octo-futures-v1.2) and never changes during the life of the account. Sections 1 to 5 apply in every market, except where the program table of M-4 sets a different value for a Perpetuals or Futures account: then M-4 prevails for that account. All accounts are simulated: no order reaches a real exchange, and every price is a reference price used to value simulated positions.

• M-1. Classic. CFDs on forex, metals, indices and crypto. Leverage 1:100. Trading hours follow each instrument, as shown in the platform. The daily loss of R-2, R-5 and R-6 is measured per server day.
• M-2. Perpetuals 24/7. Perpetual contracts on crypto, indices, commodities and stocks, with no expiry. (a) Prices. Reference prices come from a public on-chain order book. (b) Fills. A market order walks the visible order book: it is filled level by level at the quoted prices and sizes, and the fill price is the average of the levels used. (b2) Mark price. Stop loss, take profit, floating profit and loss, equity and the loss limits are measured on the mark price, a fair reference value published with the order book, not on the last trade or the best bid or ask. A single off-market print cannot trigger a stop. When a stop triggers, the position is closed like a market order. (c) Funding. Every hour, open positions are credited or charged the reference funding rate on their notional value; the amount is shown on each position and in the account history. (d) Leverage caps. Bitcoin, Ether and Solana 10x, other crypto 2x, stocks 4x, indices 10x, gold, silver, oil and other commodities 8x, currencies 25x. (e) Hours. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, weekends included. (f) Daily loss. The daily loss limit resets at server midnight every day, weekends included.
• M-3. Futures. Dated crypto contracts (quarterly) and monthly contracts on indices and commodities, referenced to on-chain prices. (a) Contracts. Each contract has a fixed size, a tick size, a tick value and an expiry date, all shown in the platform specification before you trade. Profit and loss is the number of ticks moved times the tick value times the number of contracts. (b) Expiry. At expiry an open position is settled automatically at the reference price of the contract and the position is closed; the result is booked to the balance like any closed trade. To keep exposure you open the next contract yourself. (c) Leverage caps. Crypto 5x, indices 10x, commodities 8x. (d) Hours. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. (e) Daily loss. The daily loss limit resets at server midnight every day, weekends included. (f) No swap. Futures carry no swap and no funding. Futures are offered on 1-Step and Instant; there is no 2-Step Futures account.
• M-4. Program table for Perpetuals and Futures. All values in % of the initial balance. No time limit. No consistency rule and no early payout cap. Profit split 90%. A payout can be requested at any time once the conditions below are met (no fixed cycle); it is still decided within the Guarantee of section 4.

  Account	Profit target	Daily loss	Max loss	Minimum trading days
  Perpetuals Instant	None	3	7, static	6, before the first payout
  Perpetuals 1-Step	6	3	6, end-of-day trailing, locked at the initial balance	None
  Perpetuals 2-Step	4 per phase	4	6, static	None
  Futures Instant	None	2	3, static	5, before the first payout
  Futures 1-Step	6	3	4, end-of-day trailing, locked at the initial balance	None

A change to M-1, M-2, M-3 or M-4 is a new rulebook version: it binds new purchases only and never reaches an open account.

Appendix A. Prohibited practices: definitions and examples

This appendix defines the practices in R-9. It does not add practices. Examples show where the line is; they are not an open discretion clause.

• X-1. Latency, reverse or cross-feed arbitrage (R-9a). Profiting from delayed or mismatched prices between feeds or venues instead of market risk. Closes the account: buying on a lagged quote and selling on a faster feed for a riskless lock. Does not: hedging one of your positions with a normal opposite trade.
• X-2. High-frequency or bulk automated exploitation (R-9b). Automation that floods or harvests the simulator beyond ordinary trading. Closes the account: a robot firing hundreds of order and cancel cycles per minute to collect simulator artefacts. Does not: an Expert Advisor or AI agent placing trades at a normal pace within R-8.
• X-3. Copy trading between different people (R-9c). Mirroring or linking orders across accounts that belong to different people, or someone else trading your account. Copying between accounts that all belong to you is allowed within USD 400,000 combined. Closes the account: account B automatically copies every trade of account A, owned by another person. Does not: two unrelated traders taking the same setup on their own.
• X-4. News straddling (R-9d). Opposite pending orders placed around a scheduled release so that one side catches the spike. Closes the account: a buy stop and a sell stop on the same symbol armed into a CPI release. Does not: one directional trade before or after the news.
• X-5. Platform or feed exploitation (R-9e). Using bugs, frozen quotes, wrong margins or broken fills as an edge. Closes the account: repeatedly trading a quote you know is frozen. Does not: an ordinary fill in a liquid market you believed was live. Report suspected faults to [email protected].
• X-6. Gap harvesting (R-9f). Opening or sizing positions mainly to collect weekend, holiday or session gaps without continuous risk. Closes the account: maximum size into Friday close only to catch the Sunday gap. Does not: holding a normal position over the weekend.

• X-7. Hedging across accounts (R-9g). Opposite positions on the same or correlated instruments in different accounts so that one is expected to fail while another passes. Closes the account: long EURUSD on one evaluation and short EURUSD on another, same size, same minute. Does not: hedging inside a single account.

A change to this appendix is a new rulebook version: it binds new purchases and never reaches an open account.
