Kind of rule
Rules that do not fit a single kind.
A Challenge account is closed if no trade is placed within any 60 consecutive calendar days. Nothing needs to go wrong in the market for the fee to be lost.
At least one trade must be opened and closed within any 30 consecutive days.
BrightFundedOne trade must be placed every 30 days or the account is deactivated, and it must stay open a minute to count. A deactivated account can be revived through support, but if it is not reactivated within six months it is permanently closed.
Earn2TradeLivestock contracts must be flat by 1:05pm CT and grains must also be flat during a morning window. Trading outside approved times fails the evaluation.
EZE FundedPassing a $100,000 evaluation gets you a $10,000 live account. Every percentage figure on the funded side, including the 35% to 50% drawdown and the profit you can draw, is measured against the smaller number, so a 6% month on a passed $100,000 challenge pays about $480.
FunderBluThe terms allow FunderBlu to suspend or terminate an account at any time, for any reason and without notice.
EZE FundedThe fee is gone the moment it is paid. There is no refund before you place a trade, none after, none following a breach. A purchase cannot be cancelled either side of the first trade. Payment is crypto only, so a wrong network or address is also on you.
HypernovaThere is no refund, no reset and no partial pass. A breach on the first trade costs the whole fee and the only way back is buying another assessment. Payment is USDC on Arbitrum, so a wrong network or a wrong address is on you as well.
HypernovaThe rulebook says breaches are permanent with no resets, appeals or exceptions. The terms then offer a review if you write within seven days of the notification, then in the same sentence make the firm's determination final. There is no independent step and no deadline for an answer.
HypernovaThe home page FAQ answers the real money question with a flat no. Orders are filled by Hypernova's engine priced against Hyperliquid data and are never routed to Hyperliquid or any other venue. The same answer says the firm may use trader generated signals to trade its central book, with an in app notice if yours are used.
