Before any payout is released, Stradger performs a complete integrity and compliance audit to ensure all profits were generated fairly, under normal trading conditions.
This process guarantees the sustainability of payouts and the long-term stability of the trading environment.
Verification Process
Every payout request undergoes an automated review that checks for:
Trade history validation: no mirroring, copy trading, or EA abuse.
Risk behavior consistency: drawdown and exposure patterns must align with professional standards.
Timing compliance: no violations of news or trade duration rules.
Equity curve analysis: ensures smooth, consistent trading rather than random spikes.
If your account passes the automatic checks, the payout is processed within 1–3 business days.
If the system flags irregularities, a manual review by our compliance team may extend the process to up to 5 business days.
Payout Exclusions
Certain profits are automatically excluded from the payout calculation if they originate from restricted or abnormal trading behavior.
High-Impact News Events
To protect against volatility and slippage, profits from trades opened or closed during high-impact news events may be excluded.
Restricted Window:
5 minutes before and 5 minutes after a high-impact news release or red-folder speech (source: Forex Factory).
Applies to manual, automated (EA), pending, stop-loss, and take-profit orders.
For 1-Step & 2-Step Master Accounts:
Trades within the restricted window are capped —
Maximum eligible profit: 1% of the account’s initial balance.
Any excess profit is excluded from payout.Trades opened at least 5 hours before the news event remain eligible, even if closed during the restricted window.
For Instant Accounts (Light & Pro):
Trading during or around high-impact news is strictly prohibited.
Opening or closing trades within the 5-minute window automatically triggers account termination.
Any profits from such trades are fully excluded and non-claimable.
Weekend Trading
To prevent risk from market gaps and price discrepancies:
Instant Light & Instant Pro: You may not hold positions over the weekend. All trades must be closed before market close on Friday.
1-Step & 2-Step Challenges: Weekend holds are allowed during the evaluation, but profits remain subject to standard verification and drawdown rules.
Other Exclusions
In addition to timing restrictions, Stradger excludes profits originating from:
Spamming Trades with duration under 10 seconds.
Spread or latency arbitrage activity.
Mirrored or duplicated trades across multiple accounts.
Off-market or manipulated executions, including API or copier systems.
If excluded trades represent more than 10% of your total profit in a payout cycle, your payout may be partially reduced or held pending manual compliance review.
