The 30-Second Rule
On this page
After every trade execution, wait at least 30 seconds before your next execution on the same account. The rule applies to every FundedHero Futures trader.
- Wait between executions
- 30 secondsSame account
- 4 or fewer violations
- Account stays activeYou receive only 25% of the eligible profit split
- 5 or more violations
- Account breachedReset back to its original phase
What counts as a violation
Each of these, done within 30 seconds of your last execution, is one violation:
- Opening a new position immediately after closing a trade
- Re-entering the same contract after an exit
- Flipping from long to short (or short to long)
- Rapid-fire scalping or excessive high-frequency executions
What you can still do
- Manage a position that is already open: adjust your stops
- Take partial profits on an open position
Managing an existing open position does not break the rule.
