Velocity has a single 9% Evaluation Profit Target. Once the target is reached while all other Evaluation rules remain satisfied, the trader can complete the Evaluation and progress toward a Funded Account.
Monetro Trading Rules
Profit Targets
Evolution uses two Evaluation phases. Phase 1 requires 7% profit and Phase 2 requires 6% profit. Both phases must be completed while respecting all applicable risk and trading rules.
Instant Air has no Profit Target. The account begins directly as an Instant Funded Account, so there is no Evaluation target to complete.
Instant Pulse has no Profit Target. Traders begin directly on the Instant Funded structure without completing an Evaluation.
Drawdown Rules
Velocity has a 5% Daily Drawdown Limit during both Evaluation and Funded trading. Breaching the Daily Drawdown Limit results in an immediate account breach.
Velocity has a 10% Static Maximum Drawdown. The drawdown threshold is based on the account's starting balance and does not trail upward as the account grows.
Evolution provides a 7% Daily Drawdown Limit during Evaluation and Funded trading. A breach of the Daily Drawdown Limit immediately breaches the account.
Evolution provides a 14% Static Maximum Drawdown, giving traders significantly more overall loss capacity while keeping the threshold fixed from the original account balance.
Instant Air has no Daily Drawdown Limit. Traders are instead governed by the account's overall Maximum Drawdown and other risk rules.
Instant Air has a 4% Static Maximum Drawdown. The loss threshold remains fixed from the original account balance and does not trail as profits are generated.
Instant Pulse has a 5% Daily Drawdown Limit. Breaching the limit results in an immediate hard breach.
Instant Pulse has a 10% Static Maximum Drawdown. The threshold remains fixed and does not move upward with account profits.
Evaluation Trading Days
Velocity requires 4 Qualifying Trading Days during the Evaluation. A day only qualifies when the trader generates closed profit equal to at least 2% of the total 9% Evaluation Profit Target.
The minimum closed profit required for one Qualifying Trading Day is:
$2.5K: $4.50 · $5K: $9 · $10K: $18 · $25K: $45 · $50K: $90 · $100K: $180 · $200K: $360
Evolution requires 4 Qualifying Trading Days in Phase 1 and another 4 Qualifying Trading Days in Phase 2.
A Qualifying Trading Day requires closed profit equal to at least 2% of that specific phase's Profit Target. The requirement is calculated independently for each phase, not from the combined 13% target.
Phase 1 minimums:
$5K: $7 · $10K: $14 · $25K: $35 · $50K: $70 · $100K: $140 · $200K: $280
Phase 2 minimums:
$5K: $6 · $10K: $12 · $25K: $30 · $50K: $60 · $100K: $120 · $200K: $240
Evaluation Time
Velocity and Evolution have no maximum time limit to complete the Evaluation. Traders may progress at their own pace as long as the account remains active and all other trading rules are respected.
Funded Trading Days
A Funded Trading Day is any day where the trader executes at least one trade on the account.
The trade does not need to close in profit. There is no minimum daily profit requirement for a Funded Trading Day.
This is separate from the Qualifying Trading Day requirement used during Velocity and Evolution Evaluations.
Consistency
Velocity and Evolution have no Consistency Rule by default.
Traders who voluntarily select the optional 35% Consistency Rule at purchase receive a 20% reduction on the applicable base account price and become subject to the selected consistency condition.
Instant Air and Instant Pulse have no Consistency Rule by default.
Risk Management
Maximum Margin Usage limits how much of the account's available margin may be in use at any one time.
Velocity: Maximum 75%
Evolution: Maximum 75%
Instant Air: Maximum 50%
Instant Pulse: Maximum 75%
Exceeding the applicable margin-usage limit constitutes a trading-rule violation.
Risk exposure is limited per individual trade or connected trade idea.
Velocity: Maximum 1.5%
Evolution: Maximum 1.5%
Instant Air: Maximum 1%
Instant Pulse: Maximum 1.5%
A trader may not structure multiple connected positions to bypass the applicable risk limit.
Breach & Warning System
Daily Drawdown and Maximum Drawdown rules are hard-loss rules.
Breaching an applicable Daily Drawdown or Maximum Drawdown limit results in an immediate account breach without a warning.
For Instant Air, the 4% Maximum Drawdown is the applicable hard-loss rule because there is no Daily Drawdown Limit.
Certain non-loss trading violations use Monetro's warning system.
The first warning-eligible violation results in a warning. A repeated warning-eligible violation results in an account breach.
Rules specifically treated as warning-eligible include applicable minimum trade-duration, IP/access, and similar non-loss violations.
News Trading
News trading is not allowed during the Velocity Evaluation.
News trading is not allowed during either phase of the Evolution Evaluation.
News trading is permitted on Velocity, Evolution, Instant Pulse Funded Accounts subject to a 5-minute restriction before and 5 minutes after applicable news events.
Qualifying swing positions may be treated under Monetro's swing-trade exception.
Instant Air permits news trading subject to a 10-minute restriction before and 10 minutes after applicable news events, with qualifying swing positions treated under the swing-trade exception.
Holding Trades
Overnight holding is allowed across Velocity, Evolution, Instant Air, and Instant Pulse.
Weekend holding is allowed across all Monetro account types.
Velocity and Evolution traders may hold positions over weekends during both Evaluation and Funded stages.
Trading Methods
Expert Advisors and automated trading systems are not permitted on Monetro accounts.
Trading must comply with Monetro's approved trading-method requirements.
Copy trading is not permitted on Monetro accounts.
Trades must originate from the trader's own trading activity and may not be automatically copied from another trader, account, service, or signal execution system.
Martingale trading is not permitted across Monetro accounts.
Trading strategies designed around progressively increasing position exposure after losses to recover previous losses are prohibited.
Minimum Trade Duration
Velocity trades must remain open for at least 2 minutes by default.
The first violation is warning-eligible. A repeated violation may result in an account breach.
The rule can be removed through the applicable Remove 2-Minute Rule Add-On.
Evolution trades must remain open for at least 2 minutes by default.
The first violation is warning-eligible. A repeated violation may result in an account breach.
The rule can be removed through the applicable Remove 2-Minute Rule Add-On.
Instant Air has a 2-minute minimum trade duration.
Unlike Velocity and Evolution, the 2-Minute Rule cannot be removed from Instant Air.
Instant Pulse has no 2-Minute Rule.
There is no standard 2-minute minimum holding requirement on Instant Pulse accounts.
Account Access
Monetro's IP Rule applies to every account type.
Access patterns must remain compliant with Monetro's account-security and trader-verification requirements. IP-related violations are treated as warning-eligible non-loss violations, with repeated violations capable of resulting in account breach.
VPN and VPS usage is not permitted across Monetro accounts.
The first detected violation may be handled under the warning system. Repeated violations can result in account breach.
Account Activity
A Monetro trading account may not remain inactive for more than 20 consecutive days.
Executing at least one trade resets the inactivity counter. Exceeding the permitted inactivity period breaches the account's inactivity requirement.
Leverage
Velocity standard leverage is:
Forex 1:50 · Metals 1:25 · Indices 1:10 · Crypto 1:3
Eligible Velocity accounts can select Double Leverage, increasing the applicable leverage by 2×.
Evolution uses Monetro's higher standard leverage structure:
Forex 1:100 · Metals 1:50 · Indices 1:20 · Crypto 1:6
Double Leverage does not apply to Evolution because the higher leverage structure is already included by default.
Instant Air standard leverage is:
Forex 1:20 · Metals 1:10 · Indices 1:4 · Crypto 1:2
Eligible Instant Air accounts may increase the applicable leverage through the Double Leverage option.
Instant Pulse standard leverage is:
Forex 1:60 · Metals 1:30 · Indices 1:15 · Crypto 1:4
Eligible Instant Pulse accounts may increase the applicable leverage through the Double Leverage option.
