FAQ

If a rule is not explicitly mentioned in the Terms & Conditions, you have nothing to worry about.

The rules of the Evaluation are IDENTICAL to those of the Funded Account.

Unlike other proprietary trading firms, there are NO hidden rules. All parameters for both the evaluation and the funded account are consistent and can be found on this page.

We encourage you to take the time to thoroughly review every rule listed below. We are committed to building a firm that prioritizes your success, and part of that is ensuring our traders fully understand how we operate. We want to see you succeed and become a funded trader.

There are only three ways to breach and lose your account. Please review the details below:

• Max Loss
• Daily Max Loss
• Inactivity for 30 days (If you don’t place a trade at least once every 30 days, your account will be considered INACTIVE and breached by Base Funding. To avoid this, simply place a 0.01 lot trade (open and close) to keep your account active.

You can lose an account with Base Funding due to several reasons, primarily related to violating the trading rules during the evaluation phase or in a funded account, engaging in prohibited trading activities, or inactivity. The consequences of violating these rules can lead to failing the assessment or having your funded account terminated.

Here’s a breakdown of how you can lose an account, based on the evaluation type and other factors:

During the Evaluation Phase:

• Hard Breaches: These violations lead to a failure of the assessment.

  • Daily Loss Limit: Exceeding the maximum daily loss based on the previous day’s balance. The specific percentage varies by evaluation type:
    • 1-Step Evaluation: 5% daily loss limit.
    • 2-Step Evaluation: 4% daily loss limit.
    • 3-Stage Evaluation: No daily loss limit.
  • Maximum Drawdown: Breaching the maximum allowable drawdown from the initial balance or a trailing high-water mark (for 1-Step). The specific percentage and whether it trails vary:
    • 1-Step Evaluation: 6% maximum drawdown, which trails and locks at the starting balance once a 6% return is achieved.
    • 2-Step Evaluation: 8% maximum drawdown, which is fixed and does not trail.
    • 3-Stage Evaluation: 5% maximum drawdown, which is fixed and does not trail.
  • Inactivity: Failing to place at least one trade within a 30-day period.

• Soft Breaches: These violations typically result in the closure of all trades that violate the rule, but you can usually continue trading in your assessment account.

  • Flat for Weekend: Not closing all positions by Friday at 3:45 PM EST (except for crypto in some cases with an add-on).

In a Funded Account:

The same risk rules (daily loss limit and maximum drawdown, where applicable) that applied during your evaluation phase continue to apply in your funded account, but without a profit target. Violating the daily loss limit or the maximum drawdown in a funded account is a hard breach and will lead to the termination of your funded account.

Other ways to lose a funded account:

• Inactivity: Just like during the evaluation, failing to place at least one trade within a 30-day period on your funded account will result in a breach and potential termination.
• Prohibited Trading: Engaging in activities deemed as “Prohibited Trading” by the Company or its brokers can lead to the termination of your participation in the program and potential forfeiture of any fees or owed profits. This includes, but is not limited to:
  • Exploiting errors or latency.
  • Using non-public or insider information.
  • Front-running trades.
  • Trading in a way that jeopardizes the company’s relationship with a broker or causes trades to be canceled.
  • Trading that creates regulatory issues for the broker.
  • Using third-party “pass challenge” strategies or switching strategies between assessment and funded accounts.
  • Arbitraging between different accounts within the company or with third-party companies.
  • Trading within 3 minutes before or after a News Event.
  • Engaging in gambling practices or excessive risk-taking.
  • Unauthorized copy trading or group trading.
  • Reverse trading or group hedging across multiple accounts.
• Violation of Terms and Conditions: Breaching the “Terms and Conditions” of Dashboard Analytix, which govern the use of the services, can also lead to the termination of your access.
• Company Discretion: The Company reserves the right to disallow or block any trader from participating in the program for any reason, in its sole and absolute discretion.

It is crucial to thoroughly understand and adhere to all the trading rules and terms and conditions to avoid losing your assessment or funded account.

The Daily Loss Limit depends on your evaluation account type:

• 3-Stage Evaluation Account: No daily loss limit.

• 2-Stage Evaluation Account: A 4% daily loss limit based on the previous day’s balance, which resets at 5 PM EST. If your balance was $100,000, a drop to $96,000 would result in a breach.

• 1-Step Evaluation Account: A 5% daily loss limit, calculated the same way. If your balance was $100,000, a drop to $95,000 would result in a breach.

This rule applies to your equity, not just your balance. The daily loss limit is always based on the previous day’s closing balance and violating it results in a hard breach, leading to account failure or termination.

The Max Drawdown is the maximum allowed loss before your account breaches, and it depends on the type of evaluation account:

• 3-Stage Evaluation Account: The Max Drawdown is 5% of your starting balance. If your equity falls 5% below your initial balance, it’s a hard breach.

• 2-Stage Evaluation Account: The Max Drawdown is 8% of your starting balance. If your equity falls 8% below your initial balance, it’s a hard breach.

• 1-Step Evaluation Account: The Max Drawdown is 6%, but it trails your account’s highest balance until you reach a 6% gain. After reaching a 6% return, the Max Drawdown becomes locked at your starting balance.

  Example for 1-Step Evaluation Account:

  • Starting balance: $100,000. Max drawdown is $94,000.

  • If the account grows to $102,000, the new drawdown level is $96,000.

  • If the account grows to $106,000, the Max Drawdown is then locked at $100,000. You can only breach the Max Drawdown if your equity falls to $100,000 or below.

A breach of the Max Drawdown rule in any of these accounts is a hard breach and will result in failing the assessment or having your funded account terminated.

Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:

• Soft Breach:

  • If you commit a soft breach, all trades that have violated the rule will be closed.
  • However, you are generally allowed to continue trading in your Assessment or Funded Account after a soft breach.
  • The primary example of a soft breach across all evaluation types is violating the “Flat for Weekend” rule, which requires all positions (except potentially crypto with an add-on) to be closed by Friday at 3:45 PM EST. If you fail to close your positions by this time, they will be automatically closed, but you can continue trading when the markets reopen.

• Hard Breach:

  • A hard breach signifies a more serious violation of the trading rules.
  • If you have a hard breach during the Assessment phase, you will fail the Assessment.
  • If you have a hard breach in a Funded Account, your Funded Account will be taken away or terminated.
  • The rules that constitute a hard breach vary slightly depending on the evaluation type:
    • For the One Step Overview, a hard breach occurs if you violate either the Daily Loss Limit or the Maximum Trailing Drawdown rule, or the Inactivity Period rule.
    • For the Three Step Overview, a hard breach occurs if you violate either the Maximum Drawdown rule or the Inactivity Period rule.
    • For the Two Step Overview, a hard breach occurs if you violate either the Daily Loss Limit or the Maximum Drawdown rule, or the Inactivity Period rule.

In essence, a soft breach is a less severe violation that results in trade closure but allows you to continue trading, while a hard breach is a critical violation of the risk management or activity rules that leads to the failure of the assessment or termination of the funded account.

Traders from all countries are generally accepted into the Base Funding program, with a specific exclusion for OFAC listed countries.

Therefore, while the program is broadly accessible globally, you should ensure that your participation complies with the laws and regulations of your country and that your country is not on the OFAC list. Additionally, Base Funding reserves the right to limit participation at its own discretion.

Once you pass the Assessment with Base Funding, you receive a funded account backed by real capital, not a demo account.

While the funding is notional (meaning the actual funds may differ from the stated account size), this does not affect your trading conditions. You trade in real market conditions, with execution based on third-party liquidity providers.

Base Funding may act as a counterparty for some trades, but the setup ensures real market execution, not a simulated environment. Profits are fully withdrawable according to the withdrawal rules.

Generally, you cannot hold positions over the weekend with Base Funding. The rules for the One Step, Two Step, and Three Step Evaluation Accounts all include a “Flat for Weekend” rule, which requires that all positions be closed on Friday at 3:45 PM EST. Failure to do so will result in automatic closure of your trades, which is considered a soft breach.

However, there is an exception. For all three account types, you can purchase an add-on at the point of sale called “Hold Over Weekend (10% Cost)“. This add-on disables the “Flat for Weekend” requirement and allows you to keep positions open over the weekend, but only for cryptocurrency trades.

It’s also worth noting that if a holiday falls on a Friday and the markets are closed, you are responsible for closing positions before the markets close on the prior Thursday.

To request a withdrawal of the gains from your funded account with Base Funding, you need to do so through your trader dashboard.

Here’s a breakdown of the withdrawal process and related information based on the sources:

• First Payout On-Demand: You can request your first payout anytime, even on the same day you receive your Funded Account.
• Subsequent Payouts: After your initial withdrawal, you can request payouts every 30 days directly from your trader dashboard.
• How to Request: To withdraw your profits, simply click the “Withdraw Profits” button in your dashboard and enter the amount you’d like to withdraw.
• Eligibility: As long as you have gains in your Funded Account, you are free to request a payout within the allowed timeframe.
• Payout Options: You can choose to receive your payouts through Base Funding’s trusted partners. The available options include:
  • Bank Transfers with Riseworks: If you select Riseworks and provide a valid email, you’ll receive a link to create an account for direct bank transfers.
  • Wallet Withdrawals via Columis: Payments can be processed to your existing crypto wallet via Columis.
  • Withdrawals can be made securely in crypto or fiat currency.
• Processing Time: Base Funding aims to process withdrawal requests as soon as possible, typically within 24 hours but guaranteed within 48 business hours of the request.
• Impact on Maximum Drawdown: When a withdrawal is approved, Base Funding will also withdraw their share of the gains, and your maximum drawdown will lock in at your starting balance. The maximum drawdown does not reset when you request a withdrawal.
  • For example, if you increase a $100,000 account to $120,000 and request to withdraw $16,000, you would receive $12,000, Base Funding would retain $4,000, and your account balance would decrease to $104,000. Your Maximum Drawdown would then be locked at the initial $100,000. You would then have $4,000 of potential loss before breaching the Maximum Drawdown rule.
  • If you take a full withdrawal of the gains, the Maximum Drawdown will still lock at the starting balance, which could result in a breach if your balance then triggers the Maximum Drawdown limit.
• Withdrawal Frequency: You can request a withdrawal no more frequently than once per thirty (30) days after your initial withdrawal.
• Right to Change Methods: Base Funding reserves the right to change the withdrawal methods and options at any time.

Therefore, to request a withdrawal, navigate to your trader dashboard, click the “Withdraw Profits” button, specify the amount, and choose your preferred payout method. Remember that withdrawals (after the first one) can only be requested every 30 days, and they will cause your maximum drawdown to lock at your starting balance.

• The equivalent of 1 lot on the Base Funding trading platforms depends on the specific trading instrument:

  • Forex: 1 lot = $100,000 notional.
  • Index: 1 lot = 1 Contract.
    • Exceptions:
      • SPX500: 1 lot = 10 contracts.
      • JPN225: 1 lot = 500 contracts.
  • Cryptocurrencies: 1 lot = 1 coin.
  • Silver: 1 lot = 5,000 ounces.
  • Gold: 1 lot = 100 ounces.
  • Oil: 1 lot = 100 barrels.

Base Funding does not manipulate the pricing or execution of your trades in your funded account. Here’s how it works:

• Pricing and Execution: Base Funding has no control over the prices or executions provided by the liquidity provider. All market prices and trade executions are set by third-party brokers, with no changes or adjustments made by Base Funding.

• No Alterations: According to the Terms and Conditions from Dashboard Analytix (which includes Prop Account LLC), we do not alter transaction costs, such as bid-offer spreads, markups, or swaps. These are set by the brokers.

• Risk Management: While Base Funding may act as the counterparty for some trades for risk management purposes, the execution prices still come from independent third parties, ensuring real market conditions.

The time it takes to receive your Funded Account after passing your Assessment with Base Funding is typically 24-48 business hours.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown of the process:

• Upon passing your Assessment, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access and complete both your “Know Your Customer” (KYC) verification and your “Trader Agreement”.
• Once both the KYC verification and the Trader Agreement are completed and the necessary supporting documentation is provided by you, your Funded Account will be created and funded.
• The funded account will then be issued to you typically within 24-48 business hours after completing these steps.
• You will receive a confirmation email once your funded account is being enabled.

Therefore, the process involves completing the required verification and agreement after you pass the assessment, and then it generally takes one to two business days for Base Funding to create and provide you with access to your funded account.

Base Funding offers account upgrades, specifically during the evaluation phase and also provides freedom to customize funded accounts.

Here’s a breakdown of the information regarding account upgrades:

• Evaluation Phase Upgrades: When purchasing an evaluation account, after selecting a plan, members have the option to pay extra for “upgrades” to fine-tune their evaluation to their trading system. These upgrades include:

  • Hold over the weekend: For an additional 10% to the price, this upgrade disables the “Flat for Weekend” rule during the evaluation, allowing traders to keep positions open over the weekend (only for crypto).
  • 90% Profit Split: For an additional 20% to the price, this upgrade increases the potential profit share on funded accounts to 90% (up from the standard) once the challenge is passed.
  • You can choose to forgo all upgrades and pay the original price, or you can select any combination of these options.

The rationale behind offering these choices is to cater to different trading styles, such as algorithmic, manual, higher timeframe, longer-term, lower timeframe, and scalp-based traders, allowing them to select an evaluation that suits their approach.

You can request to withdraw gains from your Funded Account with Base Funding at specific times, and these withdrawals have a direct impact on your Maximum Drawdown.

Here’s a breakdown:

• First Withdrawal: You can request your first withdrawal at any time, even on the same day you receive your Funded Account.

• Subsequent Withdrawals: After your initial withdrawal, you can request payouts every 30 days directly from your trader dashboard. This means there must be a period of 30 days between withdrawal requests after the first one.

• Effect on Maximum Drawdown: When a withdrawal is approved, Base Funding will also withdraw their portion of the gains, and critically, your Maximum Drawdown will lock in at your starting balance. The Maximum Drawdown does not reset when you request a withdrawal.

  • For example, if your starting balance was $100,000 and you grew the account to $120,000, then requested a withdrawal, after the withdrawal, your Maximum Drawdown would be permanently set at $100,000. This means you could only experience a $4,000 loss from your post-withdrawal balance of $104,000 before breaching the Maximum Drawdown rule.

• Full Withdrawal of Gains: If you take a full withdrawal of the gains in your Funded Account, the Maximum Drawdown will still lock at the starting balance. This could potentially lead to a breach of the Maximum Drawdown rule if your remaining balance falls to or below the starting balance.

In summary, while you have the flexibility to take your first profits immediately, subsequent withdrawals are limited to once every 30 days. It is crucial to understand that any withdrawal will cause your Maximum Drawdown to lock at your initial account balance and will not reset, which can significantly affect your risk management going forward.

The rules for the Funded Account with Base Funding are generally the same as the rules during your Assessment phase, with the significant exception that there is no profit target to achieve in the funded stage.

Here’s a breakdown of the rules that apply to the Funded Account based on the evaluation type you passed:

General Rules Applicable to All Funded Accounts:

• Maximum Drawdown: The maximum drawdown rule from your assessment phase continues to apply in the funded account. This drawdown does not trail after reaching a certain profit level in the Two Step and Three Step accounts. For the One Step account, it trails until a 6% return is achieved and then locks at the starting balance.
• Daily Loss Limit: The daily loss limit from your assessment phase continues to apply in the funded account for the One Step (5%) and Two Step (4%) programs. The Three Step program has no daily loss limit in any phase, including the funded account. The daily loss limit is typically equity-based and calculated using the previous day’s balance, resetting at 5 PM EST.
• Inactivity Period: You must place at least one trade every 30 days to remain active in your funded account. Failure to do so will result in a breach.
• Leverage: The leverage remains the same as in your assessment phase. This is 1:20 for the One Step and Three Step accounts and 1:30 for the Two Step account. Specific leverage limits also apply to different asset classes (e.g., Forex, Metals, Indices, Oil, Cryptocurrencies).
• Flat for Weekend: All positions must be closed by Friday at 3:45 PM EST to avoid weekend exposure. Leaving trades open will result in a soft breach, meaning your trades will be closed, but you can continue trading. An add-on can be purchased to disable this rule for cryptocurrency trading only.
• No Profit Target: Unlike the assessment phases, there is no profit target you need to reach in the funded account.
• Prohibited Trading: The same prohibited trading activities outlined during your assessment continue to be prohibited in the funded account. These include exploiting errors, using non-public information, front-running, arbitrage, certain automated strategies, and trading during news events within a specific timeframe. Engaging in prohibited trading can lead to the termination of your participation and potential forfeiture of gains. Gambling practices and prohibited copy trading or group hedging are also not allowed.
• Position Limits: Your maximum position size is determined by your available margin. Base Funding also reserves the right to increase margin requirements, limit open positions, and revise drawdown levels at any time without prior notice. They can also refuse any order.
• Weekend Holding (Unless Add-on Purchased): Generally, you cannot hold positions over the weekend, with all trades being closed on Fridays at 3:45 PM EST. If you purchased the “Hold Over Weekend” add-on, this restriction is lifted for cryptocurrency trades only.

Withdrawal of Gains:

• You can request your first withdrawal at any time.
• After the first withdrawal, subsequent withdrawals can be requested every 30 days.
• Upon approval of a withdrawal, Base Funding will also withdraw their share of the profits, and your maximum drawdown will lock at your starting balance and will not reset.

It is crucial to remember that while the funded account removes the profit target, all the risk management rules from your specific evaluation type remain in place to ensure responsible trading. You should continue to monitor your account metrics via the trader dashboard.

Base Funding offers two payout options for withdrawing gains from your funded account:

1. Bank Transfers via Riseworks: You can set up a Riseworks account to transfer your payouts directly to your bank.
   2. Crypto Wallet Withdrawals via Columis: You can withdraw to your existing crypto wallet.

You can request your first payout anytime, even on the same day you receive your funded account. After that, you can request payouts every 30 days directly from your trader dashboard. Payouts are available in both crypto or fiat, ensuring secure and timely withdrawals.

We aims to process payout requests quickly. While the official processing time is up to 48 business hours, we typically process requests within 24 hours.

No, if you have a hard breach in your Funded Account with Base Funding and there are gains in the account, you will still receive your portion of those gains.

• If you have gains in your funded account at the time of a hard breach, Base Funding will close the account.
• You will be paid your portion of those gains.

For example, if you have a $100,000 account and you grow it to $110,000, and then experience a hard breach, Base Funding will close the account. Of the $10,000 in gains, you would still receive your agreed-upon profit share.

Therefore, a hard breach will lead to the termination of your funded account, but it will not result in the forfeiture of any profits you have accumulated up to that point, your share of which will still be paid out to you.

No, you have to use an account provided by Base Funding for the Assessment; you cannot use your own account.

The reasoning provided is that Base Funding has risk management software that is synced with the accounts they create. This system allows them to analyze your performance in real-time to track your progress toward achieving the profit targets or to identify any rule violations. Therefore, to participate in the assessment program, you must trade on an account specifically provided to you by Base Funding.

To be part of Base Funding’s program, you must be at least 18 years of age, or the applicable minimum legal age in your country, to purchase an assessment. This requirement is consistent across the One Step, Two Step, and Three Step evaluation programs.

Yes, Base Funding accounts do charge commissions. The commission rates are determined by our Liquidity Provider and apply similarly to both funded and self-funded retail trading accounts.

Commissions vary depending on the asset class and are typically listed in the Product Specs. For example, most major and minor FX pairs, as well as spot metals, have a commission rate of 7 per lot.

These rates may be adjusted periodically based on market conditions. So, while commissions apply to your trades, the exact amount will depend on the asset you are trading and the pricing structure set by our liquidity providers.

You can trade on the following platforms with Base Funding:

• DXtrade.
• MatchTrader.
• cTrader.

These platforms are currently integrated with Base Funding’s technology via GooeyTrade. You can choose your preferred trading platform at checkout. You can also find information on how to view the market hours for each product on these platforms.

Base Funding has specific rules regarding hedging:

• Hedging or executing reverse trades within a single account is not a prohibited trading activity. This means you can open both buy and sell positions on the same asset within the same trading account.

• However, executing a buy trade on one account and a sell trade on another account, or vice versa, is strictly prohibited.

• Furthermore, group hedging across multiple accounts and/or coordinating opposing positions at one or multiple prop firms practice is strictly prohibited.

Therefore, to summarize:

• Hedging within a single Base Funding account is allowed.
• Hedging across multiple Base Funding accounts or with accounts at other prop firms is strictly prohibited. This includes coordinating opposing positions with other traders.

Violating the rules on hedging across multiple accounts or with other firms can be considered prohibited trading, which may lead to the termination of your participation in the program and potential forfeiture of any fees paid or owed.

Base Funding has specific limits on the number of evaluation accounts you can have:

• You are permitted to purchase and participate in only one evaluation of a specific account size and a specific plan type at a time, regardless of the trading platform.

  • For example, you can have one 100k One Step Plan and one 100k Two Step Plan active simultaneously. However, you cannot have one 100k One Step Plan on DXtrade and another 100k One Step Plan, regardless of the platform.

• There is a maximum of $1 million in active evaluation plans per person permitted. This total limit can be composed of multiple assessments of different account sizes and plan types, as long as you don’t have more than one of the same specific size and plan type active at once.

Therefore, while you can have multiple active evaluation accounts, these accounts must be of different plan types or different account sizes within the same plan type. Additionally, the total capital across all your active evaluation plans cannot exceed $1 million.

Base Funding has the right to block any trader from participating in their program for any reason, at their discretion. While being banned by another firm is not explicitly listed as a reason for exclusion, Base Funding monitors for conflicts of interest and prohibits certain trading activities, like arbitraging between their platform and others.

If you’ve been banned by another firm, it’s recommended to contact Base Funding directly to inquire about their specific policy regarding your situation.

The trading hours for Base Funding accounts are generally set by their Liquidity Provider, unless specifically dictated by Base Funding’s rules. Base Funding itself does not have direct control over the standard trading hours.

Here are the key points regarding trading hours:

• Determined by the Liquidity Provider: The standard trading hours for most instruments are established by Base Funding’s Liquidity Provider.
• Platform-Specific Information: You can find the specific trading hours for each product on the trading platforms provided by Base Funding:
  • On DXtrade, right-click on the symbol and select “Instrument Info”.
  • On MatchTrader, click on the symbol to expand its details and select “Info”.
  • On cTrader, navigate to the Symbol Window and scroll down to find the “Market Hours” for the selected symbol.
• Weekend Closure Rule: Regardless of the Liquidity Provider’s hours, Base Funding has a specific rule requiring all open positions to be closed by 3:45 PM EST on Fridays. This is a “soft breach,” meaning your trades will be closed, but you can continue trading when the markets reopen.
• Weekend Holding (with Add-on): There is an optional “Hold Over Weekend” add-on (at a 10% cost) that disables the Friday 3:45 PM EST closure requirement, but only for cryptocurrency trading.
• Holidays: You should be aware that holidays can impact the available trading hours. If a holiday falls on a Friday and the markets are closed, you are responsible for closing your positions before the markets close on the prior Thursday.

Therefore, to get the precise trading hours for a specific asset, you should refer to the “Instrument Info,” “Info,” or “Market Hours” section within your chosen trading platform (DXtrade, MatchTrader, or cTrader). Remember Base Funding’s rule to close all non-crypto trades by Friday afternoon EST and to be mindful of potential holiday-related changes to trading schedules.

With Base Funding, you can trade a variety of products, including:

• FX Pairs: Major, minor, and exotic currency pairs. Examples include:

  • EURUSD, GBPJPY, AUDCAD, NZDUSD

  • Exotic pairs like EURNOK, USDZAR, USDSEK

• CFD Indices: Popular stock indices. Examples include:

  • ESTX50, GER40, SPX500, US30, NAS100, JPN225

• Commodities: Major commodities like:

  • Brent Crude Oil (BRENT), WTI (West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil)

• Metals: Also known as Spot Metals, such as:

  • XAUUSD (Gold), XAGUSD (Silver)

• Cryptocurrencies: Major cryptocurrencies, including:

  • BTCUSD (Bitcoin), ETHUSD (Ethereum), LTCUSD (Litecoin), BCHUSD (Bitcoin Cash)

For the most accurate and up-to-date list, check the available symbols on your trading platform after you open an account with Base Funding.

Yes, you can use automated strategies (Expert Advisors or EAs) with Base Funding, but they must adhere to our policy on Prohibited Trading.

We define “Prohibited Trading” as activities such as:

• Exploiting errors or latency in pricing or platforms.

• Using non-public or insider information.

• Front-running trades.

• Trading in ways that could harm our relationship with the Liquidity Provider.

• Creating regulatory issues for the Liquidity Provider.

• Using third-party or off-the-shelf strategies specifically designed to pass challenge accounts.

• Switching strategies between the assessment and funded accounts.

• Engaging in arbitrage between accounts.

Additionally, we strictly prohibit copy trading (unless you own all the accounts involved), as well as using automated systems for copy trading.

If we find that your EA or any automated trading activity engages in any Prohibited Trading, we may terminate your participation, and you could forfeit any fees paid or owed. We review all trading activity, including the use of Expert Advisors, before issuing a funded account to ensure compliance with our policies.

Charges from Base Funding will appear on your statement under the name dashboardanalytix.com.

No, trading within a specific timeframe around news events is prohibited with Base Funding.

We do not allow trading within 3 minutes before or after a News Event. If we determine that a trade has been opened during this restricted window, there may be consequences, such as:

• The position being closed.

• Removal of the associated profit or loss (P&L) from your account.

• A reduction in the leverage on your account.

• A potential breach of your account altogether.

We have the sole discretion to determine what constitutes a News Event. This rule is in place to protect the integrity of our program and is not intended to penalize traders who unknowingly trade through a news event.

To avoid penalties, we advise you to refrain from opening or closing any trades within the 3-minute window before or after any significant news release, as defined by us. It’s your responsibility to stay informed of upcoming news events and manage your trades accordingly. Since we define what constitutes a News Event, it’s always best to err on the side of caution.

Base Funding has a strict policy against certain trading activities, which are collectively referred to as Prohibited Trading. Engaging in Prohibited Trading can lead to the termination of your participation in the program and may include the forfeiture of any fees paid to the Company or owed to you by the Company, at Base Funding’s sole discretion. Your trading activity is reviewed before you receive a funded account to ensure it does not constitute Prohibited Trading, and in case of Prohibited Trading, you will not receive a funded account.

The following activities are explicitly listed as Prohibited Trading:

• Exploiting errors or latency in the pricing and/or platform(s) provided by the Liquidity Provider.
• Utilizing non-public and/or insider information.
• Front-running of trades placed elsewhere.
• Trading in any way that jeopardizes the relationship that the Company has with a Broker or Liquidity Provider or may result in the canceling of trades.
• Trading in any way that creates regulatory issues for the Broker or Liquidity Provider.
• Utilizing any third-party strategy, off-the-shelf strategy or one marketed to pass challenge accounts.
• Utilizing one strategy to pass an assessment and then utilizing a different strategy in a funded account, as determined by the Company in cooperation with Prop Account, LLC at their discretion.
• Attempting to arbitrage an assessment account with another account with the Company or any third-party company, as determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion.
• Opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a News Event is prohibited. Any traders identified as having opened a position during a News Event are subject to having that position closed and the associated P&L removed from their account, having the leverage on their account reduced, or having their account breached altogether. The Company has sole and absolute discretion in determining what constitutes a News Event.
• Engaging in inappropriate risk management practices, such as gambling, “all-in” trading, or excessively leveraging positions. Trading activity that resembles gambling, such as consistently placing trades prior to news releases or other binary events, is not tolerated.
• Copy trading from one account to another is only permitted if the trader owns all the accounts in question.
• Group trading, signal services, passing services, or any other methods that bypass individual strategy are not allowed.
• Engaging in trades that mirror or closely align with another trader or group of traders across multiple accounts is strictly prohibited.
• Using automated trading systems (EAs) or third-party trading strategies that facilitate copy trading is strictly prohibited.
• Executing a buy trade on one account and a sell trade on another account, or vice versa, is strictly prohibited (Reverse Trading/Group Hedging).
• Group hedging across multiple accounts and/or coordinating opposing positions at one or multiple prop firms practice is strictly prohibited.

Base Funding also reserves the right to disallow or block any Trader from participating in the program for any reason, in their sole and absolute discretion. For a comprehensive list of prohibited uses, you are advised to review their full Terms and Conditions.

When trading a Funded Account with Base Funding, you are treated as an independent contractor. This means you are personally responsible for any and all taxes on your gains.

Base Funding does not handle or withhold taxes on your profits. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the tax regulations in your jurisdiction related to income earned from trading activities.

We recommend consulting a tax professional to ensure you are meeting all necessary tax obligations.

You can track the progress of your Base Funding account through your personal trader dashboard. Upon purchasing an Assessment, you will receive access to this dashboard, where you can monitor both your Assessment and Funded Accounts.

The dashboard is updated frequently, with metrics being recalculated roughly every 60 seconds. It is your responsibility to keep an eye on your breach levels and ensure you’re meeting the targets for both the evaluation and your funded account.

Once you sign up for an evaluation program, you’ll receive credentials to log into your trader dashboard and stay on top of your account’s progress.
