Rule Check answers

What Rule Check reads when it calls this firm compatible or a conflict. Each answer is quoted from the firm’s own page, with the page and the day we read it.

Can you trade the news?
Restricted

Challenge phases may trade news freely. A stop loss or take profit that fills inside the window also counts. The Instant Live help centre article says news trading is allowed on that account.

“During the restricted period, the following are not allowed: • Opening new market or pending orders • Triggering pending orders • Trade execution via stop loss or take profit • Any trade entry or exit executed within the restricted period”

intercom.help · Checked 11 Sept 2026

Can you copy trades?
Restricted

FunderBlu does not say whether copying between your own accounts is allowed.

“Copy trading between accounts owned by different people is not allowed. This includes copying trades between relatives, friends, or any third-party accounts.”

intercom.help · Checked 11 Sept 2026

Can you hold over the weekend?
Restricted

Weekend holding is allowed during challenge phases.

“Weekend holding is not allowed on Instant Accounts and Funded Challenge Accounts . All positions must be closed before the market closes for the weekend. For challenge phase accounts , weekend holding is allowed.”

intercom.help · Checked 11 Sept 2026

Is there a consistency rule?
Yes

A 30% best-day rule applies on Standard Instant and Gen Z 1 Step only. No single day may make more than 30% of total profit, and breaking it can mean a review, a profit adjustment or a denied payout. The other six accounts have no consistency rule.

“The profit generated in a single trading day must not exceed 30% of the total profit achieved on the account.”

intercom.help · Checked 11 Sept 2026

Minimum trading days
3 days

Evaluations need 3 days of at least 0.5% profit. Funded and instant accounts need 5 such days before a payout.

“A minimum of 3 trading days must meet the defined daily target threshold of 0.5% to qualify. This limit resets each day at 23:00 UTC”

funderblu.com · Checked 11 Sept 2026

How often you can be paid
Bi-weekly

Every 14 days on funded 1 Step, 2 Step and Turbo accounts, with a 7-day first withdrawal or on-demand payouts sold as add-ons. Standard and Gen Z Instant pay on request after 5 days of 0.5% profit and a 4% minimum. Instant Live pays daily only after its first 3 rewards.

“Your first withdrawal request can be made 14 days after receiving your funded account.”
