Leverage at Capital Mint is set by asset group, based on liquidity and volatility differences across crypto markets. BTC and ETH are offered at higher leverage due to deeper liquidity and tighter markets. All other crypto assets use lower leverage to reduce volatility-driven drawdowns and keep risk controls consistent across accounts.

This leverage framework is intended to provide meaningful trading capacity on the most liquid markets while keeping overall account risk within the platform’s loss limits.

Capital Mint aims to keep its refund policy clear, consistent, and fair for all traders. Because evaluation accounts are digital products that become “active” once trading begins, refund eligibility depends on whether any trading activity has occurred and whether the account remains in good standing.

Scenario

Refund Eligible?

Details

You purchased an account and placed no trades within 14 days

Yes

A refund may be issued if no trades have been executed and the request is made within 14 days of purchase.

You have placed any trade

No

Once any trade is executed, the account is considered active and is no longer eligible for a refund.

Your account is disabled for inactivity

No

Accounts with no trading activity for the applicable inactivity period are disabled, the challenge is deemed failed, and the account is not eligible for a refund.

Inactivity Policy

If there is no trading activity for 30 consecutive days, the account is automatically disabled. This applies even if you never placed a trade.

  1. The account is disabled after 30 consecutive days with no trading activity.
  2. This applies even if you never placed a trade.
  3. Once disabled for inactivity, the challenge is considered failed.
  4. No refund is issued after an account is disabled for inactivity.

How to request a refund

If you believe you qualify under the rules above, contact Capital Mint support at Support@capitalmint.io and include:

  1. Order number
  2. Purchase email address

Our team will check your request against the policy and reply as quickly as possible.

At Capital Mint, traders can use a wide range of approaches. However, some behaviours are not allowed because they distort results, exploit demo conditions, or create an unfair advantage. If we detect prohibited activity, we may restrict trading, cancel trades or profits, and close the challenge or funded account for breach of the Terms of Use.

Banned Strategies and Trading Patterns

Strategy

Description

Account Management Violations

Using accounts that are not yours, trading on behalf of someone else, or accessing accounts across multiple identities. This includes account sharing, shared-device access across identities, or any attempt to mask who is actually trading.

Change in trading approach

Passing the evaluation with one trading style and then switching to a materially different approach once funded. Funded trading must remain consistent with the approach demonstrated during evaluation.

Unrealistic trading approach

Using tactics that rely on conditions that cannot be reliably repeated in live markets. Strategies must be straightforward, transparent, and replicable under normal market execution.

Signal/Copy Trading

You may only copy trades that you placed yourself. Copying other traders, groups, paid signals, or third-party signal services is not allowed.

High-Frequency Trading (HFT)

Placing an unusually high number of trades in a short period of time. Most trades should have a reasonable holding period (generally at least 1–2 minutes) and trading should not show abnormally high trades-per-hour patterns.

Latency Arbitrage

Exploiting delays between price feeds and execution to capture artificial price differences that are not available in normal market conditions.

Tick Scalping

Targeting extremely small price movements with very short holding times, often seconds, in a way that depends on micro-movements rather than real market positioning.

Order Splitting/Stacking

Breaking a larger position into many smaller orders to hide intent, game execution, or simulate a different risk profile. This includes repeated “stacked” orders that effectively behave like one large trade.

Arbitrage

Attempting to arbitrage your demo account against another Capital Mint account or any third-party account to manufacture low-risk profits.

Reverse Arbitrage

Using correlated instruments to bet against perceived mispricing in a way that replicates arbitrage-style exploitation rather than directional trading.

One-Sided Betting

Repeatedly taking the same directional exposure in the same asset group an excessive number of times.

Martingale

Increasing position size after losses in an attempt to recover quickly or force a win. Capital Mint evaluates martingale risk based on total notional exposure, not symbol-by-symbol exposure.

Grid Trading

Placing a series of buy and sell orders at predefined price intervals above and below the market (a “grid”), often creating multiple layered positions/orders to profit from small oscillations. Grid bots and automated grid systems are included. Grid trading is not permitted.

LP prohibitions

Using any order-entry method or trading behaviour that a liquidity provider explicitly prohibits. If an LP bans it, it is not permitted on Capital Mint accounts.

Market Abuse and Platform Exploits

Exploit

Description

Hedging Between Accounts

Using two or more accounts to place opposing positions so that losses in one account are offset by gains in another. This includes any coordinated “mirror trading” intended to neutralise risk across accounts.

Guaranteed Limit Orders

Using order types or execution features that effectively guarantee fills in a way that bypasses normal market mechanics or intended platform rules.

Data Feed Manipulation

Interfering with, distorting, or attempting to take advantage of data-feed behaviour so trading decisions are not based on genuine market prices and conditions.

Trading on Delayed Charts

Making trading decisions using intentionally delayed price data rather than live or real-time market prices, including any method designed to trade off stale information.

Legal and Regulatory Prohibitions

Capital Mint prohibits any conduct that is illegal, abusive, or that may create regulatory or counterparty risk. The following are strictly prohibited:

  1. Insider trading: Using non-public and/or insider information to place, modify, or close trades.
  2. Front-running: Placing trades to benefit from, or in anticipation of, trades placed elsewhere.
  3. Regulatory issues: Trading in any way that, in the sole and absolute discretion of Capital Mint, creates regulatory issues for Capital Mint, a centralized exchange, or a market maker.

Jeopardising stakeholder relationships: Trading in any way that, in the sole and absolute discretion of Capital Mint, jeopardizes the relationship Capital Mint has with a centralized exchange or market maker.

This section explains the risk behaviours Capital Mint monitors to protect account stability, ensure fair conditions, and reduce avoidable breaches. The aim is not to limit legitimate trading styles, but to prevent behaviour that resembles gambling, engineered outcomes, or exposure levels that are inconsistent with the account’s risk limits.

Behaviours we flag and enforce

1) Gambling behaviour
Trading that appears impulsive or all-or-nothing, with no consistent approach. This includes taking outsized risk to “force” a target in one or a few trades, where outcomes depend mainly on luck rather than repeatable decision-making.

2) Group hedging
Placing opposing trades across multiple accounts (including coordinated accounts) on the same symbol at the same time to manufacture a result. This type of coordination undermines evaluation integrity and is treated as an exploit.

3) Over-exposure
Building total open exposure that is disproportionate to the account size and the platform’s loss limits. This includes stacking positions in a way that can trigger daily or overall drawdown breaches during routine volatility.

Enforcement notes

  1. If more than one violation occurs, consequences may be applied together.
  2. The response depends on severity and pattern. Prior warnings, repeat behaviour, or serious breaches may result in an immediate ban.

Other enforcement actions

Profit adjustments and payout decisions
Capital Mint may reduce, remove, or reject profits and/or payouts when violations occur. Decisions are based on the nature of the conduct, the severity of the breach, and the trader’s prior account history.

Gambling-style trading describes behaviour that looks more like betting than disciplined trading. It typically involves emotion-led decisions, oversized risk, and trades taken without a repeatable process. This kind of activity can produce random short-term wins, but it undermines evaluation integrity and increases the likelihood of sharp drawdowns.

At Capital Mint, risk control is a core expectation. If trading behaviour consistently shows gambling-style patterns, it may trigger enforcement actions, including profit adjustments, warnings, or account closure.

Common Triggers

Trigger

What it usually looks like

Impulsive Trading

Trading based on headlines, rumours, hype, or sudden price spikes without a defined setup.

All-or-Nothing Risk

Placing trades that risk an unusually large portion of the account in one decision.

Luck-Dependent Outcomes

Repeating trades with no measurable edge, relying on “hope” rather than process.

No Consistent Plan

Trading driven by emotion or intuition instead of a structured, repeatable approach.

Illustrative examples

  1. Impulse trade: Entering immediately after a major headline and taking a large loss due to volatility.
  2. Oversized bet: Using a large portion of the account on one position to “force” a payout.
  3. Hope-based entries: Repeatedly entering without a defined setup, then holding or doubling down waiting for a reversal.
  4. Random trading: Taking unconnected trades with no consistent method, then describing it as “strategy” after the fact.

How Capital Mint may respond

If gambling-style trading is identified, Capital Mint may apply one or more of the following actions, depending on severity and history:

  1. Profit reduction or payout rejection
  2. Warnings or strikes
  3. Account closure and/or permanent ban

These controls exist to keep evaluations meaningful and the funded program stable.

Capital Mint accounts must show periodic trading activity to remain active. If an account goes inactive for too long, it is automatically disabled.

By default, accounts with no trading activity for 30 consecutive days are automatically disabled.

  1. The inactivity timer starts from the date the account is issued (based on the purchase date).
  2. To keep the account active, place at least one trade within each 30-day

Important notes

  1. If an account is disabled due to inactivity, the challenge is treated as failed and the account cannot be reinstated.
  2. No refunds are issued for accounts disabled due to inactivity, even if no trades were ever placed.

Staying active is straightforward: place trades regularly so your account remains valid for evaluation and, once funded, eligible for withdrawals.

Permitted hedging

Capital Mint allows hedging within the same account.

Type of Hedging

Allowed?

Hedging within the same account

Yes

Hedging across multiple accounts

No

Hedging within one account means you may hold both long and short exposure on the same instrument inside the same account, provided you remain compliant with all other risk rules.

Prohibited hedging

Hedging across multiple accounts is not allowed and is treated as a risk and integrity violation. This includes using two or more accounts to open offsetting positions on the same instrument at the same time in order to neutralise risk or engineer an outcome.

Why Capital Mint restricts cross-account hedging

Cross-account hedging can be used to manufacture results that don’t reflect genuine trading performance. Restricting hedging to a single account helps maintain fair evaluation conditions, clearer risk monitoring, and consistent enforcement across all traders.

Scaling is when you build or reduce a position in smaller pieces instead of using one large order. Capital Mint allows this, provided the activity remains clearly manual and does not resemble high-frequency execution.

Timing expectations between entries

When adding to a position, leave at least 1–2 minutes between orders. Rapid sequences of orders can be interpreted as high-frequency trading behaviour, even when you believe you are scaling manually.

Partial exits and position reduction

Closing a position in smaller portions is also allowed. The same timing expectation applies: aim for 1–2 minutes between exit orders where possible.

Compliance notes

  1. Multiple orders executed at the same time, or in very tight intervals, may be flagged as HFT. This can lead to profit deductions, warnings, or account action depending on severity and history.
  2. If you scale in or out, you are still responsible for complying with all Trading Restrictions and risk limits at all times.

Weekend trading is available across all challenge types, allowing you to keep positions open and continue managing trades over the weekend, provided you remain compliant with all risk limits and trading rules

Evaluation stage: what automation is allowed

During the evaluation, Capital Mint keeps automation tightly controlled to ensure results reflect the trader’s own decision-making and are not driven by external signal networks or plug-and-play tools.

  1. Custom bots only are permitted during the challenge.
  2. Third-party applications are not supported during the challenge.
  3. Signal services (including third-party trade signals) are not supported during the challenge.

Funded stage: expanded tool access

Once you are funded, you may use third-party applications, provided you remain compliant with all trading rules, risk limits, and prohibited behaviour policies.

Major economic announcements can cause fast, unpredictable price moves. To keep conditions consistent across traders, Capital Mint restricts trading around designated news events. News trading is only permitted if you have purchased the News Trading Add-on, and this applies during both the challenge and the funded stage across all challenge types.

Restricted event windows

If you do not have the News Trading Add-on, you must not open, close, or modify trades:

  1. Within 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after a designated restricted event.

Capital Mint may also designate specific events as restricted for longer windows where market conditions justify it.

Example timing window

If a restricted event is scheduled for 8:30 AM, trading is restricted from 8:25 AM to 8:35 AM unless you have the News Trading Add-on.

All-day restrictions

Some events can create elevated volatility for extended periods. Where Capital Mint designates an event as an all-day restriction, trading restrictions apply for the full event window unless you have the News Trading Add-on.

Examples can include:

  1. Major government or central bank speeches
  2. Full-day macroeconomic or policy summits

Tentative and moving release times

Some releases have start times that may change. In these cases, restrictions are applied based on the official event time as published in Capital Mint’s designated event schedule for that day. If the time shifts, the restriction window shifts with it.

Examples of restricted events

Examples of major events that commonly impact crypto market volatility include:

  1. CPI
  2. FOMC rate decisions and press conferences
  3. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP)
  4. GDP releases
  5. Major central bank or government policy statements

How violations are handled

If news trading restrictions are violated, Capital Mint may apply enforcement actions including:

  1. Profit deductions or profit removal
  2. Warnings or strikes
  3. Payout rejection and/or account closure for repeated or severe violations

This policy is intended to keep trading conditions predictable while still allowing traders to participate in event-driven markets when permitted..

Capital Mint processes withdrawals based on your account type, your trading activity, and compliance with all platform rules. To keep payouts consistent and reviewable, requests must be submitted through the dashboard and meet the conditions below.

In the event of extreme crypto market volatility (“crypto runs”), defined as price movements exceeding 1.5x the normal Average Daily Range (ADR) for two or more consecutive days, the firm may classify this as a Black Swan Event.

To ensure the long-term sustainability of payouts and overall risk management, the firm reserves the right to temporarily implement risk adjustments aligned with prevailing market conditions at that time. These may include:

  1. Reduction of leverage
  2. Introduction of a maximum risk per trade idea
  3. Temporary adjustments to trading conditions or risk parameters

Such measures are designed to protect both traders and the firm during periods of abnormal market behaviour.

The One-Phase Challenge is Capital Mint’s simplest evaluation route: one set of objectives, one set of risk limits, and one clear path to funding. You trade with no time pressure, aiming to hit the profit target while keeping losses within the daily and overall drawdown limits. Once those conditions are met, you move into a funded account and can begin working toward payouts under the funded account rules.

The One-Phase Challenge is a single-stage evaluation built around one clear goal: reach the profit target while staying inside the daily and overall loss limits. If you meet the objective without breaking any rules, you qualify to move into a funded account under Capital Mint’s funded trading and payout policies.

  • Each evaluation phase requires at least 5 trading days.
  • Funded stage: Before a payout can be approved, you must complete at least 3 active trading days on the funded account.
  • If you purchase the No Minimum Trading Days add-on, the minimum trading day requirement is reduced to 0 days (evaluation and funded).
  • There is no maximum number of trading days and no time limit to complete a phase.

Your daily drawdown limit is 3% of your account’s initial balance.

Each day at 5 PM EST, Capital Mint compares your starting day balance and equity (including floating profit/loss). The higher of those two values is used as the reference point for that day’s limit, while the 3% amount is always calculated from the initial balance.

This approach protects the account from sharp intraday losses while still allowing profits to build without changing the underlying risk cap.

Example

  • Starting Balance: $100,000 → Daily loss limit = $3,000 (3%)
  • If at 5 PM EST your starting-day balance is $100,000 and your starting-day equity is $102,000:
    • Reference value used = $102,000
    • Minimum equity allowed that day = $102,000 − $3,000 = $99,000

If Equity touches or drops below the minimum equity level at any time before the next day reset, the account is in breach and trading access is removed for that account.

  • The maximum overall drawdown is 6% of your starting balance.
  • This limit is trailing, which means the loss limit can move upward as the account reaches new highs (see further details in Trailing Drawdown Explanation).

To reduce outsized single-trade or single-day outcomes:

  • Single trade profit may not exceed $10,000, or
  • Total profit across multiple trades in the same day may not exceed $10,000.
  • Applies to realised and unrealised/floating profits.

Once $10,000 profit has been achieved in any given day, your account will be disabled/paused till the start of the next trading day.

 Funded accounts must comply with the Max Exposure rule:

  • The combined value of all open trading positions must not exceed 2x the account’s initial balance.
  • This rule applies at all times while positions are open.
  • Breaching the Max Exposure limit results in an account breach.
  • Payouts are available once you achieve at least $100 profit.
  • Minimum payout request: $100.
  • Profit Split: 80% standard, or 90% with the Higher Profit Share add-on.
  • Payouts are processed within 1 business day.

The Consistency Rule still applies while the account is in drawdown.

  • Profit is measured relative to the account’s initial equity, not the current balance.
  • Recovering previous losses does not count as new profit.

Action Required

Continue trading until profits are rebalanced

This rule is intended to keep evaluation performance more representative of a consistent approach.

  • Your most profitable trading day must not account for more than 40% of your total profit.
  • If you exceed this threshold, you must continue trading until your profits are more evenly distributed across days.

Weekend trading means you may open, close and hold positions over the weekend.

  • Challenge accounts: Weekend trading is allowed.
  • Funded accounts: Weekend trading is allowed, provided all open positions remain compliant with Capital Mint’s risk rules.

High-impact news can create sharp volatility and fast price moves.

  • Challenge accounts: News trading is allowed only with the News Trading add-on.
  • Funded accounts: News trading is allowed only with the News Trading add-on.

The Consistency Rule is a control used during the evaluation phase. Its purpose is to discourage “one big day” outcomes and encourage results that come from repeatable trading rather than a single outsized win.

Key Concepts

Concept

Details

Purpose

Encourages steadier performance across multiple trading days.

When It Applies

Evaluation phase only (not the funded stage). Applies even if the account is in drawdown.

How We Calculate It

Formula:
Consistency % = (Highest day profit ÷ Total profit) × 100

Example:

  • Total profit: $1,000
  • Highest day profit: $250
  • Calculation: (250 ÷ 1000) × 100 = 25%

Because 25% is below the 40% threshold, the trader remains within the rule.

 

 

If your highest trading day represents more than 40% of your total profit:

  • The account does not fail because of this rule alone.
  • You must continue trading until the percentage falls below 40% before the evaluation phase can be marked as passed.

Trailing drawdown is a risk control that limits how far your account can fall while still allowing the account to grow. In the One-Phase Challenge, the maximum trailing drawdown is 6% of your starting balance.

  • The drawdown level moves upward as your account reaches new equity highs (Highest Watermark).

How it works

  • Starting point: The drawdown starts 6% below your initial account balance.
  • Trailing with equity: As your equity (balance plus open P/L) reaches new highs, the drawdown level moves up to follow those highs.

Example

  • Starting balance: $100,000
  • Trailing drawdown amount: $6,000
  • Equity rises to $130,000
  • If the account drops below $124,000, the account fails.

Why it matters for payouts

Trailing drawdown continues to apply after you move into a funded account.

  • Profits only count if they are earned while remaining above the drawdown threshold.
  • If the drawdown limit is breached, the account is closed and any pending payouts may be forfeited.
  • Keeping a buffer above the drawdown level reduces the chance of avoidable breaches during normal volatility.

Why we use this rule

Trailing drawdown is designed to reward profitable performance while still enforcing basic risk discipline. It provides room for growth, but it also requires you to protect the account as it scales.

First payout

  • Eligibility: You can request your first payout 14 days after placing your first trade on the funded account (or sooner with the Payout on Demand add-on).
  • Purpose: This initial waiting period helps confirm trading activity and basic rule compliance.
  • Timeline: Once requested, payouts are processed within 1 business day.

Subsequent payouts

  • Eligibility: After a payout is completed, the next payout request is available 7 days after your first trade following the last payout.
  • Purpose: This keeps payouts tied to ongoing trading activity, not inactivity.
  • Timeline: Payouts are processed within 1 business day of the request.

Key notes

  • Timer reset: The 7-day timer restarts after your first trade following a payout.
  • Open trades: You must have no open trades at the time you submit a payout request.
  • Compliance: All trading and risk rules must be followed before submitting a request.

This payout schedule is designed to keep withdrawals predictable while ensuring accounts remain active and compliant.

Capital Mint sets a maximum funded allocation per trader to keep funding limits clear and to maintain a consistent risk framework across all accounts.

The maximum total funded balance is $100,000 per trader. This cap includes the combined starting balances of all active funded accounts held under the same trader profile.

How It Works

You may hold more than one funded account, but the combined funded balance across all active funded accounts must not exceed $100,000.

  • Multiple funded accounts are allowed.
  • The combined funded balance must remain at or below $100,000.
  • Merging accounts is not permitted. Each funded account is managed independently.
  • If you reach the $100,000 cap, additional funded accounts will not be issued unless your total funded balance falls below the cap.

Funded accounts are structured as separate accounts so performance and risk controls remain clean and trackable.

This approach supports:

  • Consistent risk limits on each account
  • Clear performance tracking
  • Operational simplicity when monitoring accounts and payouts

Once your total funded balance reaches $100,000:

  • You cannot receive additional funded accounts.
  • You must reduce your total funded balance below $100,000 before you can receive more funded accounts.

The Two-Step Challenge adds an extra layer of validation before funding by splitting the evaluation into two phases. You complete Phase 1 first, then Phase 2, with a separate profit target for each stage and the same core risk controls throughout. There is no time limit, so progress is based on execution and risk discipline rather than speed. After passing both phases, you advance to a funded account and follow the funded payout rules.

The Two-Step Challenge is a two-phase evaluation that must be completed in order: Phase 1 first, then Phase 2. Each phase has its own profit target, and the same core risk limits apply throughout. There is no time limit, so the focus is on following the rules and completing both stages without breaches before progressing to a funded account.

To advance through each phase:

  1. Phase 1: 8% profit target.
  2. Phase 2: 5% profit target.



  1. Each evaluation phase requires at least 5 trading days.
  2. Funded stage: Before a payout can be approved, you must complete at least 3 active trading days on the funded account.
  3. If you purchase the No Minimum Trading Days add-on, the minimum trading day requirement is reduced to 0 days (evaluation and funded).
  4. There is no maximum number of trading days and no time limit to complete a phase.



Your daily drawdown limit is 5% of your account’s initial balance.

Each day at 5 PM EST, Capital Mint compares your starting day balance and equity (including floating profit/loss). The higher of those two values is used as the reference point for that day’s limit, while the 5% amount is always calculated from the initial balance.

This keeps the loss amount constant while letting the reference level reflect gains already earned.

Example

  1. Initial Balance: $100,000 → Daily Drawdown amount = $5,000
  2. If at 5 PM EST your starting-day balance is $100,000 and your starting-day equity is $102,000:
    1. Reference value used = $102,000
    2. Minimum equity allowed that day = $102,000 − $5,000 = $97,000

If Equity touches or drops below the minimum equity level at any time before the next day reset, the account is in breach and trading access is removed for that account.



  1. The maximum overall drawdown is 10% of your starting balance.
  2. This limit is not daily and does not reset. Once set, it stays fixed to the starting balance for the duration of the account.



To reduce outsized single-trade or single-day outcomes:

  1. Single trade profit may not exceed $10,000, or
  2. Total profit across multiple trades in the same day may not exceed $10,000.
  3. Applies to realised and unrealised/floating profits.

Once $10,000 profit has been achieved in any given day, your account will be disabled/paused till the start of the next trading day.



Funded accounts must comply with the Max Exposure rule:

  1. The combined value of all open trading positions must not exceed 2x the account’s initial balance.
  2. This rule applies at all times while positions are open.
  3. Breaching the Max Exposure limit results in an account breach.



  1. Payouts are available once you achieve at least $100 profit.
  2. Minimum payout request: $100.
  3. Profit Split: 80% standard, or 90% with the Higher Profit Share add-on.
  4. Payouts are processed within 1 business day.



  1. Your most profitable trading day must not account for more than 40% of your total profit.
  2. If you exceed this threshold, you must continue trading until your profits are more evenly distributed across days.



Weekend trading means you may open, close and hold positions over the weekend.

  1. Challenge accounts: Weekend trading is allowed.
  2. Funded accounts: Weekend trading is allowed, provided all open positions remain compliant with Capital Mint’s risk rules.

High-impact news can create sharp volatility and fast price moves.

  1. Challenge accounts: News trading is allowed only with the News Trading add-on.
  2. Funded accounts: News trading is allowed only with the News Trading add-on.

The Consistency Rule is a control used during the evaluation phase. Its purpose is to discourage “one big day” outcomes and encourage results that come from repeatable trading rather than a single outsized win.

Key Concepts

Concept

Details

Purpose

Encourages steadier performance across multiple trading days.

When It Applies

Evaluation phase only (not the funded stage). Applies even if the account is in drawdown.

How We Calculate It

Formula:
Consistency % = (Highest day profit ÷ Total profit) × 100

Example:

  1. Total profit: $1,000
  2. Highest day profit: $250
  3. Calculation: (250 ÷ 1000) × 100 = 25%

Because 25% is below the 40% threshold, the trader remains within the rule.

 What Happens If You Go Over 40%

If your highest trading day represents more than 40% of your total profit:

  1. The account does not fail because of this rule alone.
  2. You must continue trading until the percentage falls below 40% before the evaluation phase can be marked as passed.

 How Drawdown Affects the Calculation

The Consistency Rule still applies while the account is in drawdown.

  1. Profit is measured relative to the account’s initial equity, not the current balance.
  2. Recovering previous losses does not count as new profit.

First payout

  1. Eligibility: You can request your first payout 7 days after placing your first trade on the funded account (or sooner with the Payout on Demand add-on).
  2. Purpose: This initial waiting period helps confirm trading activity and basic rule compliance.
  3. Timeline: Once requested, payouts are processed within 1 business day.

Subsequent payouts

  1. Eligibility: After a payout is completed, the next payout request is available 7 days after your first trade following the last payout.
  2. Purpose: This keeps payouts tied to ongoing trading activity, not inactivity.
  3. Timeline: Payouts are processed within 1 business day of the request.

Key notes

  1. Timer reset: The 7-day timer restarts after your first trade following a payout.
  2. Open trades: You must have no open trades at the time you submit a payout request.
  3. Compliance: All trading and risk rules must be followed before submitting a request.

This payout schedule is designed to keep withdrawals predictable while ensuring accounts remain active and compliant.

Capital Mint sets a maximum funded allocation per trader to keep funding limits clear and to maintain a consistent risk framework across all accounts.

The maximum total funded balance is $100,000 per trader. This cap includes the combined starting balances of all active funded accounts held under the same trader profile.

How It Works

You may hold more than one funded account, but the combined funded balance across all active funded accounts must not exceed $100,000.

  1. Multiple funded accounts are allowed.
  2. The combined funded balance must remain at or below $100,000.
  3. Merging accounts is not permitted. Each funded account is managed independently.
  4. If you reach the $100,000 cap, additional funded accounts will not be issued unless your total funded balance falls below the cap.

Why Accounts Cannot Be Merged

Funded accounts are structured as separate accounts so performance and risk controls remain clean and trackable.

This approach supports:

  1. Consistent risk limits on each account
  2. Clear performance tracking
  3. Operational simplicity when monitoring accounts and payouts

What Happens at the $100,000 Cap

Once your total funded balance reaches $100,000:

  1. You cannot receive additional funded accounts.
  2. You must reduce your total funded balance below $100,000 before you can receive more funded accounts.

The Three-Step Challenge is Capital Mint’s most structured evaluation route, built around three separate phases. You must complete Phase 1 first, then Phases 2 and 3, hitting each phase’s profit target while staying within the same core loss limits. There is no time limit, so the focus is on maintaining discipline and avoiding rule breaches across multiple stages rather than rushing to a single outcome. After passing all three phases, you progress to a funded account and follow the funded payout rules.

The Three-Step Challenge is a three-phase evaluation designed to test consistency over multiple stages. You must complete Phase 1, then Phase 2, then Phase 3, meeting each phase’s profit target while respecting the daily and overall loss limits at all times. Once all three phases are passed without rule violations, you advance to a funded account under Capital Mint’s funded trading and payout policies.

To advance through each phase:

  1. Phase 1: 8% profit target.
  2. Phase 2: 5% profit target.
  3. Phase 3: 5% profit target.
  1. Each evaluation phase requires at least 5 trading days.
  2. Funded stage: Before a payout can be approved, you must complete at least 3 active trading days on the funded account.
  3. If you purchase the No Minimum Trading Days add-on, the minimum trading day requirement is reduced to 0 days (evaluation and funded).
  4. There is no maximum number of trading days and no time limit to complete a phase.

Your daily drawdown limit is 5% of your account’s initial balance.

Each day at 5 PM EST, Capital Mint compares your starting day balance and equity (including floating profit/loss). The higher of those two values is used as the reference point for that day’s limit, while the 5% amount is always calculated from the initial balance.

This approach protects the account from sharp intraday losses while still allowing profits to build without changing the underlying risk cap.

Example

  1. Initial Balance: $100,000 → Daily Drawdown amount = $5,000
  2. If at 5 PM EST your starting-day balance is $100,000 and your starting-day equity is $102,000:
    1. Reference value used = $102,000
    2. Minimum equity allowed that day = $102,000 − $5,000 = $97,000

If Equity touches or drops below the minimum equity level at any time before the next day reset, the account is in breach and trading access is removed for that account.

  1. The maximum overall drawdown is 10% of your starting balance.
  2. This limit is not daily and does not reset. Once set, it stays fixed to the starting balance for the duration of the account.

To limit extreme outliers and keep results representative, Capital Mint applies a profit ceiling:

  1. Single trade profit may not exceed $10,000, or
  2. Total profit across multiple trades in the same day may not exceed $10,000.
  3. Applies to realised and unrealised/floating profits.

Once $10,000 profit has been achieved in any given day, your account will be disabled/paused till the start of the next trading day.

Funded accounts must comply with the Max Exposure rule:

  1. The combined value of all open trading positions must not exceed 2x the account’s initial balance.
  2. This rule applies at all times while positions are open.
  3. Breaching the Max Exposure limit results in an account breach.
  1. Payouts are available once you achieve at least $100 profit.
  2. Minimum payout request: $100.
  3. Profit Split: 80% standard, or 90% with the Higher Profit Share add-on.
  4. Payouts are processed within 1 business day.
  1. Your most profitable trading day must not account for more than 40% of your total profit.
  2. If you exceed this threshold, you must continue trading until your profits are more evenly distributed across days.

Weekend trading means you may open, close and hold positions over the weekend.

  1. Challenge accounts: Weekend trading is allowed.
  2. Funded accounts: Weekend trading is allowed, provided all open positions remain compliant with Capital Mint’s risk rules.

High-impact news can create sharp volatility and fast price moves.

You may hold more than one funded account, but the combined funded balance across all active funded accounts must not exceed $100,000.

  1. Multiple funded accounts are allowed.
  2. The combined funded balance must remain at or below $100,000.

This approach supports:

  1. Consistent risk limits on each account
  2. Clear performance tracking
  3. Operational simplicity when monitoring accounts and payouts

What Happens at the $100,000 Cap

Once your total funded balance reaches $100,000:

  1. You cannot receive additional funded accounts.
  2. You must reduce your total funded balance below $100,000 before you can receive more funded accounts.

To keep funded trading stable and sustainable, funded accounts operate under defined drawdown limits and withdrawal conditions. These limits vary by account type and are designed to promote consistency and controlled risk-taking.

By Account Type

Daily Drawdown Limit

Max Overall Drawdown

Profit Cap

One-Phase Funded

Maximum 3% of the higher of starting balance or equity

Daily reset time (5 PM EST): The daily drawdown is refreshed at 5 PM EST each day. At that time, Capital Mint sets the day’s drawdown reference using whichever is higher: your balance or your equity (including floating P/L). The daily limit for the next trading day is then applied from that reference level.

To keep funded risk controlled during volatile market conditions, Capital Mint applies a
maximum exposure limit to funded accounts. This rule is designed to prevent excessive position sizing on any single trade idea, even if individual positions appear small in isolation.

Rule
At no point should the margin used on a single trade idea exceed 50% of the account’s starting balance. In simple terms, you should never have more than half your starting account balance tied up in one trade idea at any given time.

What counts as a trade idea
A trade idea is defined as all open trades on the same pair in the same direction. Additionally, opening a new position on the same pair in the same direction within 10 minutes of closing a losing trade is considered part of the same trade idea.

How it is applied
1. This rule applies to funded accounts only.
2. Exposure is assessed on the combined margin of all positions that form part of the same trade idea at any point in time.
3. The 50% margin limit applies per trade idea, not across the entire account.
4. Reopening a position on the same pair in the same direction within 10 minutes of a losing close is treated as a continuation of the previous trade idea and counts toward the same limit.

Why this matters
Concentrating too much margin on a single trade idea can cause rapid drawdowns during fast market moves. The max exposure limit is intended to keep risk within the account’s drawdown rules and reduce the chance of avoidable account breaches.

Enforcement
If the max exposure limit is breached, Capital Mint may:
5. Deduct profits attributable to the breach.
6. Issue a warning for a first violation.
7. Mark the account as breached on repeated violation, which can result in account closure.

To keep funded risk controlled during volatile market conditions, Capital Mint applies a maximum exposure limit to funded accounts. This rule is designed to prevent excessive position sizing across multiple open trades, even if individual trades appear small in isolation.

Rule
The combined value of all open trading positions must not exceed 2x the account’s initial balance.

How it is applied

  1. This rule applies to funded accounts only.
  2. Exposure is assessed on the combined value of all open positions at any point in time, including when multiple positions are held simultaneously.
  3. This limit applies across the account as a whole, not just to a single position.

Why this matters
High total exposure can cause rapid drawdowns during fast market moves. The max exposure limit is intended to keep risk within the account’s drawdown rules and reduce the chance of avoidable account breaches.

Enforcement
If the max exposure limit is breached, Capital Mint may:

  1. Close positions to reduce exposure, and/or
  2. Mark the account as breached, which can result in account closure.

To reduce outsized single-trade or single-day outcomes, Capital Mint enforces the following profit cap:

  1. Single trade profit must not exceed USD 10,000, or
  2. Total profit across multiple trades on the same day must not exceed USD 10,000.
  3. Applies to realised and unrealised/floating profits.

How it works

  1. If you breach the profit cap, your account will be disabled and the funded account may be deemed breached, at Capital Mint’s discretion.
  2. The $10,000 daily cap applies to the sum of all profits on that day.

Examples

  1. Single-trade breach: You one trade reaches for $10,250 profit → breach.

Multi-trade same-day breach: Three trades reach $4,000, $3,500, and $2,800 profit the same day (total $10,300) → breach.
