Emerge Profit’s rules for 2026 come down to three limits per account (daily loss limit, maximum drawdown and maximum position size) plus a set of shared policies: no hedging, news trading allowed, trades of at least 10 seconds, the Operational Consistency and Position Sizing Rule, a consistency rule and a maximum of 4 active accounts. What changes between products is the drawdown type (EOD or static), whether you can hold positions open and the profit split. This page has every rules table by product, the 50% consistency rule with a worked example and the mistakes that blow the most accounts.

EmergeFX Evaluation rules
| Rule | 1-Step | 2-Step |
|---|---|---|
| Profit target | 10% | 8% (Phase 1) and 5% (Phase 2) |
| Daily drawdown | 3% | 5% |
| Maximum drawdown (static) | 6% | 10% |
| Margin | 1:30 | 1:100 |

Static drawdown is set from the starting balance and doesn’t rise with profits: on a 100,000 account with 10%, the floor stays at 90,000 even if you reach 106,000. The difference from EOD is explained in EOD vs static drawdown.
Rules that apply to every account
- No hedging: you can’t open opposite positions on the same instrument to offset each other (a buy and a sell at the same time).
- News trading allowed on every product. Slippage on high-impact releases is your responsibility.
- 10-second minimum per trade.
- Copy trading: allowed only between your own accounts.
- Maximum 4 active accounts per person; more only with support’s approval.
- KYC only when you request a reward.
- Open positions: on the Futures Evaluation, positions are closed before the end of each session; Futures Instant Funding doesn’t allow swing trading; EmergeFX lets you hold positions over the weekend.
Operational Consistency and Position Sizing Rule
This rule requires your position size to change gradually. Sudden changes, such as jumping from micros to minis with no transition, aren’t allowed. The goal is to stop an account from being bet on a single oversized trade. The examples below are guidance only; if in doubt, ask support.
| Situation | How it reads |
|---|---|
| You trade 2 MES micros for several weeks, then move to 3 and later 4 | Gradual progression: consistent |
| You use 3 to 5 micros depending on the day’s volatility | Moderate variation within your range: consistent |
| You always trade 2 micros and one day open 3 minis (equal to 30 micros) | Sudden jump from micros to minis: not allowed |
| After two losses, you triple your size to win it back | Sudden change in position size: not allowed |
The 50% consistency rule: a worked example
Under the usual definition, the 50% consistency rule means no single day can exceed 50% of the period’s total profit; see the details in the Help Center. Here’s how it works:
- A period with $3,000 total profit, made up of these days: +1,800, +400, −200, +600, +400.
- Best day: $1,800 ÷ 3,000 = 60%. That’s above 50%: you don’t meet the rule yet.
- What you need: for $1,800 to be 50% at most, the total has to reach $3,600 (1,800 ÷ 0.5). You still need $600 of profit spread over other days.
- With a 30% consistency rule (an option on Futures Instant Funding), the total would need to be $6,000 (1,800 ÷ 0.3).
The simplest way to avoid fighting this rule is to set a daily profit cap: with a $2,500 target, stopping for the day at $800–1,000 keeps your best day well below 50%.
How to avoid blowing your account
- Risk a quarter of the daily loss limit or less per trade. On the 50K Futures Evaluation ($1,100 daily loss limit), with a 10-point stop on MES ($50 per micro), 5 micros risk $250: you’d need more than four stops in a row to hit the limit.
- Set your own loss cap below the account’s. If you lose half the daily loss limit, close the platform.
- Set a session-close alarm on the Futures Evaluation, 15 minutes ahead.
- Keep your size stable. Define a contract range and step it up one at a time, to stay within the Operational Consistency and Position Sizing Rule.
- Always use a stop, news releases included, and never hold a trade for less than 10 seconds.
- Check consistency every week by dividing your best day by your cumulative profit.
Which account to choose based on the rules
- Index day trader who wants to test yourself cheaply: Futures Evaluation with no activation fee, from $60. Positions are closed before the end of each session.
- Day trader who doesn’t want a challenge: Futures Instant Funding, Classic or Flex, from $130. Choose Flex if you’d rather request rewards every 10 trading days.
- Swing trader in forex or CFD indices: EmergeFX Evaluation 1-Step or 2-Step (from $68), with static drawdown and weekend holding allowed, or EmergeFX Instant Funding (from $120).
All of these are simulated trading accounts, and trading involves risk: you can lose what you paid for the account. Once you’ve met the rules, the steps to request your reward are in how to get paid at Emerge Profit.
