Every rule that can
end your account.
With the numbers.
FairTicks is a simulated trading evaluation platform. This page names every rule that can breach an account, the threshold behind it, and which of the four models uses it. The Rule Snapshot attached to the size you buy carries the exact values, and it is published before checkout.
Your account moves through four states before anything breaks. The percentage is how much of an active limit you have consumed, and the dashboard names the state you are in.
One tick, one value, one calculation.
FairTicks measures market movement in official logical ticks. The contract you pick sets what one tick is worth on your account, and that is the only number between the market and your PnL.
There is no lot size to compute, no margin to reverse-engineer and no leverage multiplier. You choose a fixed-value card and you see your exposure before the order goes in.
1x leverage on every card. The number on the screen is your exposure.

Compare the four FairTicks models rule by rule. A rule marked Off is not an active breach condition on that model. Exact dollar values still depend on the account size you select.
Rule coverage and values by model
Targets and loss limits scale with account size unless a value is explicitly fixed. Instinct currently uses the 50K configuration.

What each rule actually measures
The matrix tells you where a rule applies. These definitions explain what the platform measures when that rule is active.
Daily Loss
A daily equity-loss boundary used on Classic and Discipline. The active allowance is calculated from the account's published Daily Loss framework and shown in the dashboard during the trading day.
EOD Maximum Loss
An account-level equity floor used on Rapid, Classic and Discipline. Its official level is derived from the published end-of-day framework rather than following every intraday tick.
Intraday Trailing Drawdown
Instinct starts with $2,500 of room below starting balance. As new live equity highs are created, the floor follows 80% of each new equity gain, leaving 20% as progress room. The floor never moves down and stops rising when it reaches starting balance.
Profit Targets
The Training profit objective you must reach while staying inside the active rules. Rapid, Discipline and Instinct use one required target. On Classic, Target 1 is the only required target.
Stop Loss and exposure
No FairTicks model requires a Stop Loss, and trading without one is not itself a breach. Position size is controlled through the published account exposure limits and the NANO, MICRO and MINI contract sizes.
Minimum Training Days
The minimum number of qualifying trading days required before a Training Account can pass, even if its profit target has already been reached. Rapid 3, Classic 5, Discipline 5, Instinct 0.
It is part of that model's active framework and can become a breach condition when its published threshold and timing conditions are met.
It is not an active breach rule for that account snapshot. The exact rules that do apply are the ones shown in the account's Rule Snapshot and live dashboard.
What you see before, during and after a breach.
A breach is never the first thing you learn about. You read the rules before you pay, you watch the number climb while you trade, and if the account breaks you get the rule that caused it, in writing, with the record behind it.
Read the Rule Snapshot
Every active limit for the exact size you are buying: the target, the loss floors or the trailing mechanic, the validity, the minimum trading days, the reset and extension prices. It also names the rules that stay off on that model.
Watch the number climb
The dashboard shows your equity, your balance, each active floor and how much of it you have consumed. It names the risk state you are in, and none of the first four states closes the account or stops you trading.
A breach happens at 100%. Not before.
Not at 85%, not at 99%. When an active limit reaches 100%, the account is marked breached according to the rules stored in its snapshot. A warning is information, not protection, and reaching Critical does not remove your responsibility for the rules on your account.
You get the rule that caused it
The dashboard names the rule, the position involved, the timestamp and the value that crossed the limit. The account status changes to breached and the event is written to your account timeline, alongside passing, resets, extensions and payout events.
Ask for a documented review
Open a review through the contact page. We read your account, position, rule and timeline records rather than answering with a policy paragraph. Every review returns a reference, a status and a written outcome.
Created at activation for the model and size you bought. Published before checkout. A newer product template never replaces it.
Live equity, balance, every active floor, how much of each buffer you have used, your risk state, target progress and Qualified Profit Days.
The position, timestamp, rule and value behind every status change. This is what a review reads, and it is what lets a result be explained rather than asserted.
Passing gets you qualified. Performance gets you paid.
Passing a Training Account releases no money. It moves you into a separate simulated Qualified Account, where eligible profit, Qualified Profit Days and payout eligibility are built.
Your payout starts after the pass.
Your Training Account proves that you can operate inside the model. Your Qualified Account is where payout eligibility starts. The account keeps the applicable risk framework of the model you purchased.
Complete Training
Reach the published target for your size while respecting every active rule and the minimum Training Days: Rapid 3, Classic 5, Discipline 5, Instinct 0.
Pass — no money moves
Training ends here. This is not a payout. Training targets and Training Consistency stop applying after the transition.
Start the Qualified Account
A separate simulated account carries the applicable risk framework of the model you bought. Eligible profit and Qualified Profit Days are built here.
Build the QPD required by your model
A QPD is a day that closes at least 0.5% of starting capital up with at least one valid trade. The requirement is Rapid 5, Classic 7, Discipline 10, Instinct 7, and your dashboard shows how many remain.
Unlock the payout request
Once your model-specific QPD and minimum-age requirements are met, the remaining submission checks must also be clear. The full request panel below shows them without compressing everything into the timeline.
Request the payout
Your dashboard evaluates these conditions before the request can be submitted. QPD and minimum Qualified-account age depend on the account model.
Identity verification must be complete before payout processing.
All positions must be closed before submission.
Only one payout request can be active on the account at a time.
The payout engine must calculate at least $100 available to request.
The request applies your active profit-share percentage and releases up to 75% of available realized profit. The protected reserve remains inside the simulated account; it is not a FairTicks fee. Trading is paused while the request is being processed.
Five answers the matrix does not give you.
The table above lists what each rule is and where it runs. These five cover how the framework behaves once you are inside it.
FairTicks is a simulated trading evaluation platform using virtual capital and rules-based account progression. You never deposit trading capital and no order is routed to a real market. It is not a broker, an exchange, an investment advisor or a guarantee of income.
What you pay is an account fee. It buys platform access and the evaluation you selected, not trading capital.
Not one of the four. On Rapid, Classic, Discipline and Instinct the Stop Loss is optional, and a missing Stop Loss is never a breach condition. Trading without one does not put an account at risk of being marked breached.
The name Discipline suggests otherwise, so to be explicit: it does not require one either. What it adds is a ceiling on the stop you choose to use, capped at 0.5% of starting capital. The rules that can breach a Discipline account are Daily Loss and EOD Maximum Loss.
The four models use different combinations. Daily Loss runs on Classic and Discipline, not on Rapid or Instinct. EOD Maximum Loss runs on Rapid, Classic and Discipline, not on Instinct. Instinct uses one live trailing floor set $2,500 below your highest equity, and no deadline at all.
A rule marked off on a model is not calculated and cannot breach that account. The rule matrix lists all of them side by side, and your Rule Snapshot carries the exact values for the size you buy.
On the other three, the target is not enough on its own. You also clear the minimum trading days: Rapid 3, Classic 5, Discipline 5. A day counts when it carries at least one valid trade.
Instinct has none, so it can pass the moment its $3,000 target is reached. Classic and Discipline also run a 40% Training Consistency rule during Training, which caps how much of your progress can come from a single day.
A breach happens when an active limit reaches 100%, and not before. The account is marked breached according to the rules stored in its snapshot, and the dashboard names the rule, the position, the timestamp and the value that crossed.
Before that point you pass through four named states: Safe below 60%, Warning from 60%, High from 75%, Critical from 85%. None of them closes the account or stops you trading, and none of them protects you from a breach either. If a result looks wrong, request a documented review through the contact page and you get a reference, a status and a written outcome.
No tricks.
