Scaling Plan

Cash Flow Funding’s scaling plan was another feature that distinguished it from its competitors. The firm allowed traders to increase their account sizes by 25% once they demonstrated consistent profitability for four consecutive months. Traders who continued to meet the performance targets over an extended period could scale their accounts to a maximum size of $2 million.

The scaling plan also provided an increase in profit share, with an additional 5% added to the profit split for every successful scaling phase, up to a maximum of 90% profit share. This made Cash Flow Funding an attractive choice for traders who aimed for long-term growth with the firm.

Spreads and News Trading Rules

Spreads:

Cash Flow Funding offered variable spreads depending on the market and liquidity conditions. Generally, spreads on major currency pairs were tight, especially during high liquidity periods like the London and New York sessions. For traders focused on indices and commodities, spreads were wider but remained competitive within industry standards.

News Trading Rules:

Cash Flow Funding allowed traders to engage in news trading. However, they cautioned traders about the risks of increased volatility during major economic events. Traders could execute trades during news releases, but extreme caution was recommended due to the unpredictable nature of price movements during such events.

Other Important Rules

Daily Drawdown Calculation:

The daily drawdown was calculated based on the highest equity point of the day. This meant that if a trader's equity reached a new high during the day, the drawdown was reset to 5% from that point. Also as the daily drawdown limit can compound, it can also decrease as well.

Countries Banned from Purchasing:

Cash Flow Funding did not disclose specific countries banned from participating, but traders from regions with heavy financial regulations and sanctions, such as North Korea and Iran, were typically excluded.

Gambling Rules:

Cash Flow Funding prohibited gambling-like trading practices. Traders engaging in reckless behavior like betting large portions of their account on a single trade could face immediate disqualification. The firm’s goal was to promote sustainable and strategic trading practices.

Prohibited Trading Strategies:

• Arbitrage trading strategies
• High-frequency trading using abusive techniques
• Grid or Martingale systems that exposed the account to unsustainable risks
• Automated systems (EAs) that breached risk management protocols
