A ruleset built for consistency
TickWise rules focus on one essential goal:
allow traders to perform without risking their own capital.
Once funded, traders operate with significantly fewer constraints, while always respecting a maximum risk of 60 percent of the allocated capital.
Evaluation phase versus funded account
Understanding the difference between evaluation and funded trading is essential.
Evaluation phase
- Structured environment
- Defined profit objective
- Defined drawdown limits
- Focus on discipline and validation
Funded account
- Trade with capital allocated by TickWise
- No unnecessary trading constraints
- Unlimited withdrawals at any time
- Maximum risk limited to 60 percent of allocated capital
What are the RULES?
This structured process guides traders from skill assessment and consistency
validation to real-market trading with clearly defined risk rules.
Rule no. 1: Final balance
The profit target represents the threshold to be reached in order to pass the assessment.
Rule No. 2: Minimum tracking scale
How the trailing stop on the balance works:
- If your balance increases by $100, your minimum trailing stop will also increase by $100.
- If your balance falls by $100, the minimum trailing stop balance remains unchanged – it does not fall.
Rule no. 3: DAILY LOSS
This is the maximum tolerated daily loss. If this threshold is reached, the evaluation is automatically failed, regardless of previous performance.
Each account type has its own limit:
- STARTER account: maximum daily loss of $500
- PRO account: maximum daily loss of $1,000
- EXPERT account: maximum daily loss of $2,000
This rule is eliminatory: it cannot be exceeded.
Rule no. 4: trading day
Valid trading day:
A day is considered to be a cash day if the profit made at the close of the session (17:00 EST) is greater than or equal to :
- STARTER account: $150
- PRO account: $300
- EXPERT account: $600
Only days meeting this criterion count towards the minimum number of days required to pass the assessment.
Why these rules exist
TickWise rules are designed to create alignment between traders and capital.
By keeping rules clear and limited, traders know exactly what is expected from day one.
