Security & compliance
What can reduce/deny a reward?
TL;DR
If you break rules, trade during processing, or ignore add-on restrictions, your reward can be reduced, delayed, cancelled, or denied.
How it works
A reward request is only clean if:
- You’re within all trading rules (drawdowns, consistency rule, news/weekend restrictions unless you have the add-ons).
- You have no unresolved rule violations.
- Your performance supports the requested amount.
Also: PropXP reserves the right to delay/withhold/deny payout requests as part of review/enforcement.
Minimum holding time impact (Funded + Instant Funding)
For Funded Accounts and Instant Funding, positions must be held at least 2 minutes before they may be closed or reduced by you (including EAs/bots).
If you’re routinely closing/reducing positions under 2 minutes (or attempting to circumvent the intent), PropXP may take actions that directly impact rewards, including:
- excluding affected trades (in whole or in part) from results,
- adjusting results impacted by the conduct,
- applying restrictions (instruments/leverage/permissions),
- reducing the reward amount, denying the reward request, and/or
- disqualifying/terminating the account.
Common gotchas
- Trading while request is processing = your request may be cancelled/rejected.
- Funded news violation = account termination. Permanent ban for repeated violations.
- Missing the News Trading add-on / Weekend Trading add-on but trading as if you have it = it will have consequences that can range from a warning, to reward denial, to loss of account.
- On Funded/Instant Funding, closing trades in under 2 minutes can trigger review and lead to trade exclusions/adjustments and reward denial.
- “I didn’t know” doesn’t fix an account state. Ask support before you get creative.
- If something looks off (eligibility, metrics, timing), don’t brute-force it, check the dashboard and contact support.
Example
You submit a reward request, then place trades “just to manage risk.” That can invalidate eligibility and get your request cancelled/rejected. Or: you trade through restricted news on funded without the News Trading add-on and find yourself suddenly without a funded account.
And yes, repeating it because it saves everyone pain: once you request a reward, treat the account like it’s in “read-only mode” until it’s confirmed and paid.
