Questions

F8 Funds provides simulated trading evaluation programs designed to assess trading discipline, consistency, and risk management.

No. F8 Funds is not a broker, financial adviser, investment adviser, or deposit-taking institution. F8 Funds provides simulated trading evaluation services only.

All trading activity within F8 Funds programs is conducted in a simulated environment. Program participation does not involve live trading with customer funds.

Participants must be at least 18 years old, must not be located in or connected to a restricted jurisdiction, and must agree to the applicable Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, and program rules before purchasing or participating in any F8 Funds program.

Platform access details are provided through the client dashboard after account setup. Public website pages use generic platform wording, while account credentials and access instructions are handled after purchase or registration.

F8 Funds is structured around four core account paths: 1 Step Evaluation, 2 Step Classic Evaluation, 2 Step Pro Evaluation, and Instant Evaluation.

The 1 Step Evaluation has one phase with a 10% profit target, 4% daily drawdown, 8% maximum loss, and 3 profitable trading days. The profit split is 80%, with first payout eligibility after 7 trading days.

The 2 Step Classic Evaluation has a 10% target in Phase 1 and a 5% target in Phase 2. It uses 5% daily drawdown, 10% maximum loss, and requires 5 profitable trading days. The profit split is 80%, with first payout eligibility after 14 trading days.

The 2 Step Pro Evaluation has an 8% target in Phase 1 and a 4% target in Phase 2. It uses 3% daily drawdown, 6% maximum loss, and requires 3 profitable trading days. The profit split is 70%, with first payout eligibility after 7 trading days.

This direct-access program has no Phase 1, Phase 2, or profit target. It uses 3% daily drawdown and 6% maximum loss, with a 70% profit split. Payout qualification begins after 7 trading days and requires 4 profitable days, each with more than 0.4% net profit based on the initial account balance.

All current F8 Funds programs use Static Drawdown. The maximum-loss boundary remains fixed according to the selected program and account size.

F8 Funds uses the following default simulated platform leverage settings by asset class:

• Forex: 1:30, with a 100,000 standard lot contract size.
• Gold (XAUUSD): 1:10, with a 100-ounce contract size.
• Other Metals: 1:5, with contract size varying by symbol.
• Indices: 1:20, with a 1 standard index unit contract size.
• Commodities: 1:5, with contract size varying by symbol.
• Cryptocurrencies: 1:2, with contract size varying by symbol.

The account base currency is USD. The platform configuration uses Market Execution, a 100% margin call level, a 50% stop out level, and a maximum lot size of 20 lots per trade.

Maximum total exposure is calculated at 0.4 lot per $1,000 of initial account balance:

• $10,000 account: 4.0 lots.
• $25,000 account: 10.0 lots.
• $50,000 account: 20.0 lots.
• $100,000 account: 40.0 lots.
• $200,000 account: 80.0 lots.

The limit applies to combined open exposure across all positions. Hedging is permitted with margin 0, while weekend holding is not allowed.

For 1 Step and 2 Step programs, a profitable day requires more than 0.5% profit based on the initial account balance. 1 Step and 2 Step Pro require 3 profitable days, while 2 Step Classic requires 5. The direct-access program requires 4 profitable days, each with more than 0.4% net profit.

The Daily Drawdown resets each day at 04:00 AM GMT+4. Traders should monitor equity and closed profit or loss around the reset time according to the platform calculation.

No maximum trading-day limit currently applies. All other program rules and risk limits remain in effect.

Yes. Expert Advisors (EAs) and automated trading are permitted, provided the strategy complies with all F8 Funds risk limits, platform rules, and prohibited trading behavior policies.

No. Trades may not be held over the weekend. Any positions that are not closed before the weekend market close may be reviewed, and any profit generated from those trades will be removed from the payout and account review calculation.

F8 Funds prohibits any trading activity that is inconsistent with fair trading standards, genuine trading skill, or proper risk management. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

• Exploiting technical errors, pricing issues, delayed data feeds, abnormal spreads, platform bugs, unrealistic fills, or system latency.
• Using unauthorized external data sources, high-speed tools, bots, scripts, AI systems, or mass-order methods to create an unfair execution or pricing advantage.
• Manipulating trades across multiple accounts, including mirrored trades, synchronized trades, opposite positions, cross-account hedging, or coordinated trading between different customers.
• Sharing, transferring, selling, passing, or allowing any third party to access, manage, or trade the account.
• Using the same IP address, device, VPS, VPN route, payment method, crypto wallet, identity details, login location, or trading environment across different profiles in a way that indicates account sharing, multi-accounting, identity masking, or coordinated abuse.
• Using EAs, robots, or algorithms for latency arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, hedge arbitrage, unrealistic tick scalping, mass-copy strategies, or any system-exploitation strategy.
• Violating Account Review Stage restrictions, including news trading restrictions, minimum holding rules, payout review rules, weekend holding rules, consistency rules, drawdown limits, or any published challenge parameter.
• Trading with gambling-like behavior, one-sided betting, excessive risk concentration, all-in style exposure, extreme martingale behavior, or relying on a single random market move instead of a repeatable strategy.
• Exploiting price gaps, quote errors, thin liquidity, rollover periods, market open/close conditions, public holidays, or abnormal volatility periods to generate unfair profits.

F8 Funds reserves the right to review, restrict, reject payouts, remove profits from violating trades, reduce profit share, suspend, or terminate accounts when prohibited trading activity is detected.

Profit split is 80% for 1 Step and 2 Step Classic, and 70% for 2 Step Pro and Instant Evaluation.

First payout eligibility begins after 7 trading days for 1 Step, 2 Step Pro, and Instant Evaluation, and after 14 trading days for 2 Step Classic. Every request remains subject to payout qualification, account review, and rule compliance.

The minimum withdrawal is 1% of the account balance.

The maximum profit per withdrawal is 5% for 1 Step and 2 Step Classic, 4% for 2 Step Pro, and 3% for Instant Evaluation. Any amount above the applicable cap is excluded from that payout review.

Yes. A 2% processing fee applies to all payout requests to help ensure secure and efficient transactions. This fee covers payment gateway costs and third-party payment processor charges.

No. F8 Funds uses structured payout cycles based on the selected program. Payouts are subject to eligibility, trading-day requirements, account review, and compliance with all applicable rules.

The Maximum Daily Profit Consistency Rule applies only during payout review in the Account Review Stage for 1 Step and 2 Step programs. The limits are 20% for 1 Step, 30% for 2 Step Classic, and 25% for 2 Step Pro.

No. For 1 Step and 2 Step programs, the rule begins only after the evaluation is completed and the account enters the Account Review Stage for payout review.

Any amount above the selected program’s maximum profit per withdrawal is excluded from that payout review. The applicable limits are listed under Payouts & Profit Split.

A breach of the daily drawdown or maximum loss limit may result in the account being failed or terminated according to the applicable program rules.

News trading is permitted during Phase 1 and Phase 2 of 1 Step and 2 Step evaluations. During the Account Review Stage, including direct-access accounts, trading is restricted from 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after a related High-Impact (Red) event listed on the FXStreet Economic Calendar. Medium-Impact (Orange) events are not restricted. Profit from a violating trade may be removed, and the violation may count as a soft breach.

The restriction applies during the Account Review Stage. A trade opened or closed within the restricted window may be treated as a soft breach, and any resulting profit may be removed from the payout calculation.

Yes. During the Account Review Stage, a trade held for less than 3 minutes may be treated as a soft breach. Any profit from that trade may be removed from the payout calculation.

If an account has 3 soft breaches, the trader’s profit share may be reduced by 50%. If an account has 6 soft breaches, the account may be terminated.

F8 Funds does not accept users, residents, citizens, entities, payment methods, bank accounts, IP addresses, or identity documents connected to restricted jurisdictions. Restricted jurisdictions include the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and any country, region, person, entity, wallet address, payment source, or account subject to sanctions, restrictions, payment-provider limitations, platform-provider limitations, compliance review, or fraud-prevention requirements.

For 1 Step and 2 Step evaluation programs, a customer may participate in up to 5 active evaluation accounts at the same time, subject to checkout approval, risk review, identity review, and F8 Funds account-control policies.

For 1 Step and 2 Step programs, each customer may have only 1 active funded-stage account at a time. Additional qualified accounts may be placed in a waiting queue until the active account is closed, breached, or otherwise deactivated.

If an active 1 Step or 2 Step funded-stage account is breached, email support@f8funds.com to request review of another qualified account in the waiting queue. Activation remains subject to compliance checks and approval.

If no trading activity is recorded on the account for 30 consecutive days, the account will be terminated due to inactivity. Traders are responsible for maintaining regular account activity and monitoring their account status.

No. Each F8 Funds account must be used only by the registered customer and must match that customer’s own identity, KYC information, payment source, device, and normal access pattern. The same IP address, device, VPS/VPN route, payment method, trading environment, or unusually similar trading activity across different customer profiles may be treated as a sign of multi-accounting, account sharing, account passing, identity masking, or coordinated abuse. Multiple traders from the same household, office, or shared network should contact support before trading so the situation can be reviewed. F8 Funds may request additional verification, reject payout, suspend access, terminate connected accounts, or ban users if suspicious overlap is detected.

KYC verification should be expected before payout approval. Final KYC requirements should be described in the Terms & Conditions and payout policy.

After purchase, account credentials are typically sent to the email used at checkout or made available through the trader dashboard. If credentials are not received, check spam/junk folders and contact support with your order details.

Payment method availability may vary depending on the checkout provider. The website may display card and crypto payment options when supported by the active checkout provider.

No. All program purchases and account fees are non-refundable once payment has been completed. Please review the selected program, account size, rules, and fees carefully before purchasing.
