Evaluation questions
The evaluation
What is the Chronos evaluation?
A trading challenge on a simulated account. You show you can make a profit while managing risk inside fixed limits. Pass and you trade a Chronos funded account and keep up to 80% of the profit.
What is the difference between 1-Step and 2-Step?
The 1-Step has a single phase with a 10% profit target. The 2-Step has two phases with lower targets (8% then 5%). Both use the same 3% daily loss and 5% maximum loss. 1-Step is faster; 2-Step gives you a lower target in each phase.
Which challenge should I choose?
If you trade aggressively and want funding quickly, the 1-Step. If you prefer steady, smaller gains, the 2-Step: each phase target is easier to reach while the loss limits are the same.
Is there a time limit to pass?
No. There is no maximum number of days. You only need to trade at least 4 days per phase and avoid 30 days of inactivity.
What is a trading day?
A calendar day (GMT) on which you open or close at least one trade. Days with only open positions and no new trade do not count.
What happens when I pass Phase 1 of the 2-Step?
Your account shows “Passed” in the cabinet and trading on it closes. Press “Continue to next phase” and your Phase 2 account is created instantly with fresh login details.
Do I pay again for Phase 2 or the funded account?
No. The one-time fee covers every phase of the evaluation.
Can I have more than one challenge at a time?
Yes. You can run several evaluations at once. Combined funded capital is limited to $200,000 per trader.
Is the evaluation a real account?
No. Evaluation accounts trade in a simulated environment with live market prices. The fee is for the evaluation service, not a deposit.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. After signing up you can open a free $10,000 trial account to try the platform. Trial accounts have no rules and cannot be funded.
Rules & drawdown
What is the maximum daily loss?
3% of the starting balance, a fixed amount. On a $5,000 account that is $150. Equity (including open positions) may not fall more than this below the balance at the start of the day.
When does the daily loss reset?
Every day at 00:00 GMT. The new day starts from your balance at that moment.
What is the maximum loss?
5% of the starting balance, and it is static: the floor never moves. On a $5,000 account, equity must always stay above $4,750, no matter how much profit you make.
Static or trailing drawdown?
Static. Your maximum loss floor is fixed at the starting balance minus 5%. It does not trail your profits, so every dollar of profit gives you more room.
Is drawdown based on balance or equity?
Equity. Open losing positions count. A limit is breached the moment equity touches it, even if the trade later recovers.
Does the profit target count open trades?
The target is reached on closed profit (balance). Close your trades to lock in the target.
Is there a consistency rule?
No. There is no rule on how your profit is spread across days.
Is there a minimum or maximum lot size?
No fixed lot limit. Your risk is limited by the daily and maximum loss rules and by leverage (1:100).
What leverage do I get?
Up to 1:100 on every plan. Leverage is set by the plan and cannot be changed.
What happens after 30 days without trading?
The account is closed for inactivity. Keep at least one trade every 30 days to keep it active.
Allowed trading
Can I hold positions over the weekend?
Yes. Weekend and overnight holding is allowed on evaluation and funded accounts. Remember that prices can gap at the open and swaps apply.
Can I trade during news?
Yes. News trading is allowed on all accounts. Spreads widen and slippage is higher around major releases, and losses still count towards your limits.
Are Expert Advisors (EAs) allowed?
Yes, your own EAs and algorithms are allowed. EAs that exploit price-feed delays, latency arbitrage, tick scalping or platform errors are not.
Can I hedge?
Yes, opening opposite positions on the same account is allowed. Hedging between different accounts (yours or someone else’s) is not allowed.
Can I copy trade?
Yes. You may copy trades between your own Chronos accounts, follow signal providers and copy group or community trades. The account still has to respect every rule.
Can I use trade signals or trade as a group?
Yes. Signal services, trading groups and copy trading are allowed. Remember that a breach caused by a copied trade counts the same as any other breach.
Can I use martingale or grid strategies?
Yes, as long as you stay within the loss limits. Be aware these strategies can breach the daily loss quickly.
Which strategies are forbidden?
Latency or price-feed arbitrage, exploiting platform errors or off-market quotes, cross-account hedging, and any trading that does not reflect real market risk.
What instruments can I trade?
Forex majors, minors and crosses, gold and silver, oil, major indices and leading cryptocurrencies on the CoreXtrader platform.
Which platform do I use?
CoreXtrader, on desktop, web and mobile. Your login and server are emailed to you and shown in your cabinet.
Can someone else trade my account?
Yes. Account sharing is allowed: a partner, team or account manager may trade it. You, as the account holder, stay responsible for every trade, and payouts are only paid to you after your own identity verification.
Breaches
What happens if I breach a rule?
Open positions are closed and pending orders cancelled immediately. The account stays visible in your cabinet with its full history, but new trades are blocked.
Do I get an email when I breach?
Yes. You receive an email and the reason is shown on the account page in your cabinet.
Can I reset a breached account?
No. A breached account cannot be reopened. You can start a new challenge at any time.
Does a breach affect my other accounts?
No. Each account is evaluated on its own.
I think a breach was wrong. What can I do?
Contact support with your account number. We review the trade history and price data and reply in writing.
