Trading Rules - Riverton Markets

Trading Rules & Regulations

Understanding our trading rules is crucial for your success

Trading Time Requirements

We enforce specific time-based rules to ensure fair and sustainable trading practices:

  • Minimum trade duration: 60 seconds
  • No high-frequency trading (HFT)
Important: Any trade closed before 60 seconds will result in account breach.

Example:

If you open a trade at 10:00:00, you must hold it until at least 10:01:00.

Drawdown Limits

We have two types of drawdown limits to protect your account:

Type Limit Details
Daily Drawdown 8% Equity-based, trailing daily, resets at market close
Overall Drawdown 12% Account lifetime

Daily Drawdown Example:

The 12% daily drawdown is calculated based on your highest equity point during the trading day. It trails your performance and resets daily at market close.

Note: Breaching either drawdown limit will result in account termination.

Profit and Payout Rules

Our profit and payout system is designed to maintain sustainable trading practices:

  • Weekly payouts
  • 10% profit target of account size
  • Profit cap rule: If any single trade makes 25% or more of your total profit target, your entire payout for that week will be reduced to 25%

Example:

For a $10,000 account:

  • Profit target: $1,000 (10% of account)
  • If any single trade makes $250 or more (25% of $1,000), your entire weekly payout will be capped at 25%
  • Example scenario: If you make $1,000 total profit but one trade made $300, you'll only receive $250 (25% of profit target) instead of $1,000
Important: This rule encourages consistent trading with managed risk rather than relying on large individual trades.
