Can several account types share one rule set?
Quick answer
Yes. Rule sets are standalone, and any number of account types can point at the same one. For example, "$10K Standard", "$25K Standard" and "$50K Standard" can all use "Standard Rules", because rules are expressed as percentages of each account's starting balance.
Detailed answer
Sharing rule sets keeps a product line consistent.
Why it works
Loss limits and targets are percentages. A 5% daily limit is $500 on a $10,000 account and $2,500 on a $50,000 account, from the same rule.
Benefits
- One edit, every size: a new version applies to new accounts of every account type using the set.
- Consistency: traders get the same rules whatever size they buy.
- Fewer rule sets: important on Starter, which allows 3.
When to use separate rule sets
- Evaluation and funded stages with different rules.
- A two-step programme with different targets per phase.
- Add-on products, such as weekend holding allowed.
- Crypto accounts with different leverage.
Plan limits
Starter allows 3 rule sets, Basic 15 and Growth unlimited. Sharing rule sets across account types stretches the lower limits a long way.
A common structure
One rule set for evaluations, one for funded accounts and one for a special product, shared by every account size, covers most firms' needs within Starter's limit.
