FND · RULES FND.1–FND.3
Foundation
FND.1
Purpose & Scope
FND.1.1 Why this Rulebook exists
So that every rule, risk limit and account condition lives in one place, uses one set of definitions, and reads the same way for you, for Support, and for our Risk and Compliance teams.
FND.1.2 Who it applies to
Everyone who registers with Hola Prime, buys or holds any Challenge, Sim. Funded, Direct or Live Account, or takes part in any Hola Prime programme — including the Affiliate Programme, Trading Competitions, the Scaling Programme, Prime Circle and the Prime Consistency Programme.
FND.1.3 Scope of this edition
This Rulebook covers the Forex programme. The Futures programme is published as a separate Rulebook; if you hold accounts in both, each book governs its own accounts.
FND.1.4 Simulated trading
All trading at Hola Prime happens in a simulated environment with virtual funds and real-time market prices.
FND.2
General Principles
FND.2.1 Trade it like your own money
Treat every account as if the capital were yours — with sensible, sustainable risk management on every trade. Most of the rules in this book simply enforce that idea.
FND.2.2 No hidden rules
Every rule, condition and prohibited practice is published in advance. We do not apply surprise clauses or change the definition of acceptable conduct retroactively.
FND.2.3 Same rules for everyone
Rules are applied uniformly to all traders, with only the model-specific differences set out in the rules and the Schedules, and the discretion described in GEN.1.
FND.2.4 Skill, not gambling
Our programmes reward disciplined, repeatable performance and capital preservation. Gambling-style and all-or-nothing behaviour is dealt with in the Prohibited Trading Practices (PTP) and Prime Consistency Programme (PCP) sections
FND.2.5 Verification
You can verify our pricing and execution at any time through the daily Price Transparency Report and read-only market access (PLT.5).
FND.3
Order of Precedence
FND.3.1 If documents conflict
This is the order of authority, from highest to lowest:
applicable law and regulation;
your signed client Agreement and the Terms of Service;
official notices we issue and the rules of your specific account model;
this Rulebook; and
explanatory material, examples, how-to guides and marketing statements.
FND.3.2 Model rules win
Inside this Rulebook, a rule written for your specific model beats a general rule wherever the two differ.
FND.3.3 Not sure? Ask
If two statements seem inconsistent, do not guess which one applies — ask Support (GEN.6) and rely on the written answer.
