Trading Rules and Guidelines

The Fusion Funded � HFT 2.0 Challenge Model

+

The Fusion Funded operates on a single evaluation system known as the HFT 2.0 Challenge.


This model is designed for traders who want to use high-frequency trading systems (HFT), automation, and advanced execution strategies to complete their evaluation efficiently


During the challenge phase


  • HFT strategies are allowed
  • Tick scalping is allowed
  • Arbitrage and latency-based strategies are allowed
  • Traders may also choose to work with our trusted partners, who specialize in high-frequency trading systems and can assist in completing the challenge efficiently

Once funded, all accounts operate under a structured and rule-based environment, where specific trading restrictions apply


Challenge Objectives


To successfully complete the HFT 2.0 Challenge, traders must:


  • Achieve the required profit target
  • Follow all trading rules
  • Maintain proper risk management

All accounts are reviewed after completion of the challenge.


Evaluation Process


  • Once the profit target is achieved, the account is placed under review
  • Trading behavior and rule compliance are verified
  • Upon approval, the trader is moved to the funded stage

Profit Target


The profit target for the HFT 2.0 Challenge is


  • 10% of the initial account size

Example:


For a $100,000 account:


  • Profit Target = $10,000

This target can be achieved using manual trading or HFT strategies during the challenge phase.


Drawdown Rules


Maximum Overall Drawdown


  • Maximum loss allowed: 10% of initial account size

Daily Drawdown


  • Daily loss limit: 7%

Example:


Account Size: $100,000


  • Maximum Drawdown: $10,000
  • Daily Drawdown: $7,000

The account balance or equity must never fall below the defined limits.


20% Risk Per Trade Rule


A trader can risk a maximum of 20% of the total drawdown allowance in a single trade, and to follow this rule, a mandatory SL on positions is required in order to track and keep the maximum allowed risk under 20%.


Example:


Account Size: $100,000


  • Total Drawdown Allowed: $10,000
  • Maximum Risk Per Trade: $2,000

Exceeding this limit at any point during trade execution or exposure calculation will be treated as a violation, regardless of trade outcome. This may be a warning for the first time but is a hard breach afterwards.


Consistency Rule


A trader�s single trading day or trade must not exceed 30% of total profits.


Example:


  • Total Profit: $10,000
  • Maximum allowed from a single day/trade: $3,000

Exceeding this limit will result in a violation.


Minimum Trading Days


  • Minimum required trading days: 12 days
  • Optional add-on reduces this to 7 trading days

Minimum Trading Day Rule (Profit-Based)


A trading day will only be counted if the trader places a trade and achieves at least:


  • 0.1x (1/10th) of the highest profit on a single trade/day used during the payout cycle

Example:


  • If the highest profit is 1000$
  • Minimum profit required to count a day - 100$

Trades below this threshold will not be counted as valid trading days


Layering Rule


Opening more than 3 positions in the same direction on the same instrument simultaneously is not allowed.


Adding positions to trades that are already in drawdown, grid trading, or recovery-based entries may be considered a violation.


  • Challenge Phase: May be treated as a soft breach
  • Funded Stage: May be treated as a hard breach

Martingale Rule


Martingale trading is strictly prohibited


Martingale includes increasing position size after a loss in an attempt to recover previous losses.


Important:


  • The sum of all open positions will be treated as a single combined position.
  • If a trader increases total exposure to more than 1.6X after a losing trade, it will be considered a martingale strategy.

Examples:


  • Increasing lot size more than 1.6X after a loss
  • Re-entering trades with higher risk to recover drawdown
  • Adding positions that increase total exposure after a loss

  • Challenge Phase: May be treated as a soft breach
  • Funded Stage: May be treated as a hard breach

Minimum Trade Holding Time (Live Accounts Only)


On funded accounts:


  • Each trade must be held for a minimum of 2 minutes
  • Up to 1-2 trades per payout cycle may be ignored.

If this limit is exceeded:


  • It will be treated as a soft breach
  • The payout will be rejected
  • The account will be reset to the initial balance

Trading Behavior Rules

  • Excessive use may be treated as a violation

Example:


  • Opening offsetting positions across correlated instruments to neutralize exposure

During the challenge phase, arbitrage strategies are allowed.


On funded accounts


  • Arbitrage trading is restricted
  • Such activity may be treated as a violation

Example:

  • Offsetting positions across accounts
