Core Concept

Instant Light is designed for fast access and flexibility, but it’s also a discipline test. There is no daily drawdown or profit target. The primary rule is to protect capital and avoid breaching the 6% trailing max loss. Trade your strategy; consistency and control determine longevity.


Trailing Max Loss Explained

The Trailing Max Loss follows your highest closed balance and moves upward as you make profits.
Example (6% trailing on a $10,000 start):

  • Start: balance $10,000 → max loss level $9,400

  • If balance reaches $10,500 → new max loss level $9,870

  • Once the max loss level reaches $10,000 (your initial balance), it locks and no longer trails down.

This protects the account while not penalizing later drawdowns after you’ve built equity.


Rewards

On-Demand Reward lets traders withdraw profits anytime once requirements are met, no need to wait for a fixed payout date.
In the Instant model:

  • Once you reach 5% profit, you can instantly transfer your earnings to your wallet and request a payout.

  • If your profit is below 5%, you can still withdraw after 14 days from your first trade.

This system gives traders full control over when to take profits while maintaining trading flexibility.


Account Violations (Hard Breach)

Hard breaches are severe and result in immediate termination of the account:

  • Breaching the 6% Trailing Max Loss.

  • Opening/closing trades within the restricted news window (10 minutes before/after red-folder events).

  • Holding any position over the weekend.

  • Platform abuse or intentional volatility exploitation (e.g., news scalping, latency arbitrage).

  • Account/device sharing or prohibited mirroring across accounts (per Stradger Rules & Conditions).

  • Inactivity of 30+ consecutive days without a completed trade (if applicable to your global rulebook).

Instant Light has no soft breaches. It’s a strict model for disciplined execution.


News and Weekend Policy

To control volatility and gap risk on Instant accounts:

  • High-impact news: You may not open or close trades 10 minutes before or after a red-folder event (Forex Factory).

  • Weekends: You may not hold positions over the weekend. All open trades must be closed before Friday market close.

  • Applies to all executions: manual, pending orders, stops and targets (SL/TP), and automated systems.


Example Scenarios

Allowed

  • Holding a swing trade for multiple days, provided it’s flat before the Friday close.

  • Using partials, stop losses, and scaling within your risk limits.

Not Allowed

  • Entering a USD pair 3 minutes before NFP or closing it 2 minutes after the release.

  • Leaving any trade open from Friday to Monday.

  • Exceeding the 6% trailing limit, even briefly.


Pro Tip

This model rewards patience over aggression. Successful traders typically risk 0.5–1% per trade, build a buffer before withdrawing, and treat the account as a long-term asset rather than a sprint.
