Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account

Overview

The Hola Prime Account is a simulated funded environment that you unlock after passing your challenge. It allows you to earn rewards from your trading performance while Hola Prime manages risk and uses your trading to inform its live proprietary activity.

Breaches, Holidays, and Closures

1. How Does a Hard Breach Affect My Hola Prime Rewards?

If your Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account is breached, it becomes ineligible for any further payouts, regardless of the profits accumulated. Whether the breach is due to Maximum Total Loss Limit, Inactivity Period, or any prohibited trading activity, the Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account will be terminated and all simulated profits forfeited. This policy also applies in cases of contract termination or any violation of the Terms of Service.​

2. Which Holidays Impact My Trading Schedule?

Holiday behavior depends on how your platform handles CME Holiday Protocol.

3. What rules must I follow in the Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account?

Core Rules in the Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account

In the Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account, you must respect the following key rules:

Max. Loss Limit (EOD Trailing)

  • Set at 4% of initial balance ($25K & $50K accounts purchased on or after January 19, 2026), and 3% of initial balance $100K & $150K accounts)
  • Trails the highest previous day's end-of-day (E.O.D) balance until the account reaches 4%/3% profit depending on the account size.

Daily Loss Limit (for Direct Futures Accounts)

  • Set at 2.5% of the previous day’s closing balance is a soft breach.​
  • Resets every day at 16:00 CT server time.​

Inactivity Period

  • If there is no trading activity in the Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account for more than a calendar week (from Sunday to Friday), the account will be subject to closure due to inactivity.
  • A traded day is counted only when at least one round trip trade is fully completed on any permitted instrument, as opening a position without closing it on the same day does not qualify.
Risk Rule (Funded & Direct Accounts)
Your risk per trade idea should not exceed 1% of the initial account balance on DX Futures platform and 2% of the initial account balance on Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts platforms.
This rule applies exclusively to Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Accounts and Direct Accounts. It does not apply during the Challenge phase. A violation of this rule is considered a hard breach and will result in account termination.
Stop Loss Requirement
"Risk" refers to the maximum amount at stake on a trade or trade idea, determined by the stop-loss placement. A Stop Loss (SL) is mandatory on every trade.
  • Only the risk taken matters, not the loss: If an SL is set within the 2% risk limit, any additional loss caused by price differences will not be considered in risk calculation.
  • A floating or realized loss exceeding 2% on a trade or trade idea without an SL will be considered a breach.
  • Failure to comply with this requirement constitutes a hard breach and result in account termination.
Once the stop loss requirement is met, risk is assessed based on the Single Trade Idea rule. This includes
  • Layering / Splitting Positions
  • 10-Minute Re-entry Rule
Layering/Splitting positions
If you open multiple positions on the same assets, same direction, with overlapping time, they are collectively treated as one single trade idea. This includes multiple entries opened and/or closed at different times.
Any continuous sequence or chain of such overlapping positions will also be treated as one single trade idea for risk calculation purposes.
In DX Futures, the combined risk of all these positions cannot exceed the 1% limit.
In Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts, the combined risk of all these positions cannot exceed the 2% limit. View Example ▾
 
Example — Splitting One Trade Idea into Multiple Overlapping Positions
INITIAL ACCOUNT BALANCE $100,000
MAXIMUM RISK PER TRADE IDEA 2% ($2,000)
TRADE ASSET SIDE CONTRACTS CONTRACT SIZE OPEN TIME (CT) ENTRY PRICE STOP LOSS CLOSE TIME (CT) EXIT PRICE RISK
Trade 1 ESU6 Buy 2 50 13:00:00 7,570.25 7,565.25 13:25:00 7,574.75 0.5%($500)
Trade 2 ESU6 Buy 2 50 13:03:00 7,571.00 7,561.00 13:49:00 7,576.75 1.0%($1,000)
Trade 3 ESU6 Buy 1 50 13:07:00 7,572.50 7,560.50 13:36:00 7,575.25 0.6%($600)
 

Risk per Trade Idea Assessment

As all three positions were opened on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and were active simultaneously, they are classified as a single trade idea in accordance with the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
Total Risk Exposure (Trade 1 + Trade 2 + Trade 3):
0.5% + 1.0% + 0.6% = 2.1% ($2,100)
Compliance Outcome:
The combined risk exposure for this trade idea exceeded the maximum permitted limit of 2% ($2,000). Accordingly, this constitutes a hard breach of the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
The 10-Minute Re-entry Rule
If you close a position and then open a new one in the same direction on the same assets within 10 minutes, the system considers this a continuation of the same trade idea.
Any continuous sequence or chain of such closely timed positions will also be treated as one single trade idea for risk calculation purposes.
In DX Futures, the combined risk of all these positions cannot exceed the 1% limit.
In Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts, the combined risk of all these positions cannot exceed the 2% limit. View Example ▾
 
Example — Re-entering the Same Asset Within 10 Minutes
INITIAL ACCOUNT BALANCE $100,000
MAXIMUM RISK PER TRADE IDEA 2% ($2,000)
TRADE ASSET SIDE CONTRACTS CONTRACT SIZE OPEN TIME (CT) ENTRY PRICE STOP LOSS CLOSE TIME (CT) EXIT PRICE RISK
Trade 1 ESU6 Buy 3 50 13:00:00 7,570.25 7,560.25 13:25:00 7,574.75 1.5%($1,500)
Trade 2 ESU6 Buy 2 50 13:49:00 7,578.25 7,568.25 13:49:00 7,576.75 1.0%($1,000)
Trade 3 ESU6 Buy 3 50 14:04:00 7,583.00 7,573.00 13:36:00 7,575.25 1.5%($1,500)
Trade 4 ESU6 Buy 2 50 14:19:00 7,590.00 7,582.00 13:36:00 7,575.25 0.8%($800)
 

Risk per Trade Idea Assessment

  • Trade 2 was opened 31 minutes after Trade 1 had been closed. As the time gap exceeded 10 minutes, Trade 2 is classified as a new trade idea.
  • Trade 3 was opened 5 minutes after Trade 2 had been closed. As it was executed on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and within 10 minutes of the previous position being closed, it is considered a continuation of the same trade idea.
  • Trade 4 was opened 6 minutes after Trade 3 had been closed. Since it was executed on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and within 10 minutes, it is also considered a continuation of the same trade idea.
Total Risk Exposure (Trade 2 + Trade 3 + Trade 4):
1.0% + 1.5% + 0.8% = 3.3% ($3,300)
Compliance Outcome:
Although Trade 2 began a new trade idea, both Trade 3 and Trade 4 were opened within 10 minutes of the preceding trade being closed. Therefore, Trade 2, Trade 3, and Trade 4 are treated as a single trade idea.
Since the combined risk exposure for this trade idea is 3.3% ($3,300), exceeding the maximum permitted limit of 2% ($2,000), this constitutes a hard breach of the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
Layering Positions Followed by Re-entry Within 10 Minutes
This example demonstrates how overlapping positions and a subsequent re-entry within 10 minutes on the same asset and in the same direction are treated as a single trade idea.
In Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts, the combined risk of all these positions cannot exceed the 2% limit. View Example ▾
 
Example — Layering Positions Followed by Re-entry Within 10 Minutes
INITIAL ACCOUNT BALANCE $100,000
MAXIMUM RISK PER TRADE IDEA 2% ($2,000)
TRADE ASSET SIDE CONTRACTS CONTRACT SIZE OPEN TIME (CT) ENTRY PRICE STOP LOSS CLOSE TIME (CT) EXIT PRICE RISK
Trade 1 ESU6 Buy 2 50 13:00:00 7,570.25 7,565.25 13:25:00 7,574.75 0.5%($500)
Trade 2 ESU6 Buy 2 50 13:03:00 7,571.00 7,561.00 13:49:00 7,576.75 1.0%($1,000)
Trade 3 ESU6 Buy 1 50 13:54:00 7,577.25 7,565.25 14:10:00 7,582.00 0.6%($600)
 

Risk per Trade Idea Assessment

Trade 1 and Trade 2 overlapped in time on the same trading instrument and in the same direction. Therefore, they are treated as a single trade idea.
Trade 3 was opened 5 minutes after Trade 2 was closed. Since it was executed on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and within 10 minutes of closing Trade 2, it is considered a continuation of the same trade idea.
Total Risk Exposure (Trade 1 + Trade 2 + Trade 3):
0.5% + 1.0% + 0.6% = 2.1% ($2,100)
Compliance Outcome:
Trade 1 and Trade 2 are considered a single trade idea due to their overlapping duration. Trade 3 is treated as a continuation of the same trade idea, as it was opened within 10 minutes of closing Trade 2. Accordingly, all three trades are assessed as one continuous trade idea.
The combined risk exposure across these trades was 2.1% ($2,100), exceeding the maximum permitted Risk per Trade Idea limit of 2% ($2,000). This constitutes a hard breach of the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
Additional Guidelines
General risk management rules should always be followed, and traders should operate the account as if it were their own capital. Please refer to prohibited gambling behavior for further details.
