To qualify for a withdrawal, ALL of the following conditions must be met:
(a) The trader must have been funded for at least 14 calendar days for their first withdrawal on their phase 3 account (Funded Status). This is known as Account Age.
Thereafter, trading profits will be paid out bi-weekly if the Funded Trader meets the requirements for a pay-out.

(c) The trader must not have broken any rules set out in these Terms and Conditions.

8.2.2.3.3. The standard profit split for Challenge accounts is 80%. This may differ if:

(d) Profit splits will only be paid if the trader has complied with all the Terms and Conditions of this agreement and remains at the discretion of First Frontier.
The spreads we use are very competitive, and it is usually 0.1 pips for EURUSD on average. Different market conditions and liquidity can cause spreads to vary accordingly. At high volatility events, such as during high-impact economic releases, the spreads can widen. At the end of each day, between 10 PM & midnight UK Time, the banks move vast amounts of orders from the current day to the following day while there is less liquidity. This may cause spreads to be significantly increased. Therefore, it is advisable to widen stop losses during these times to avoid unwanted execution of nearby orders due to technicalities. The commission is fixed at $3.50 per lot per side ($7.00 per round trip) for FX and Commodities on the Evaluation. First Frontier and/or its broker reserves the right to change this at any time. The commission is fixed at $3.50 per lot per side ($7.00 per round trip) for FX and Commodities once funded on a Funded Trader Account.
Sometimes, during very illiquid periods, the markets can gap significantly. Any orders placed at prices with no quotes will be filled at the next available price. This may result in opening the trade at a less favourable price. Slippage can occur at any time but is mostly relevant during periods of high volatility when market orders are executed. This can also happen when a large market order is executed, but there isn’t enough volume at the chosen price to execute the trade at the current market price. Slippage can occur when there is a delay between the trade being ordered and when it’s completed. Therefore, First Frontier does not guarantee to pay the profit for trades where significant slippages occur on First Frontier’s corporate trading account.
First Frontier supports responsible traders who show a talent for Trading. We do not support traders looking to cheat the system, or who trade with a gambling “all-or-nothing” mentality. We therefore have a Responsible Trading Policy for Traders to abide by. You agree that before your commitment, that you already have a trading strategy and have experience in good risk management practices, which is important to pass the challenge.
1. The Funded Trader shall not trade the Funded Account in coordination or in conjunction with other active traders on the same account. The account shall be for the sole and singular use of the Funded Trader.
2. The Funded Trader must not use the name of another person on one or more funded accounts.
3. The Funded Trader must not duplicate trades and orders using copy/social trading service providers. However, the Funded Trader can copy their other personal accounts into a First Frontier Account.
4. The Funded Trader shall not open accounts in other people’s names, entities or styles other than their own name.
5. As a First Frontier Funded Trader you may have up to 2 funded accounts at the same time and may from time to time merge two funded accounts into one. The merged accounts will be treated as one account after the two accounts are merged.
It is prohibited to max out on leverage on any single trade and to ensure responsible risk management practices as a Funded Trader you shall not max out on leverage on any single trade and in the event of entering a trade when maxed out on leverage or an unusual volume size to the entry, that trade shall not in any way be counted towards the trader’s profit target.
You agree that to protect First Frontier’s capital and help our traders succeed we monitor every account for gambling or reckless trading and in particular to look for the following:
(a) risking 100% or more of your drawdown limits in open trades, for example, open trades totalling 5% risk if the traders max daily loss is 5%,
(b) risking 40% or more of your drawdown limits in a single trade or across multiple trades on the same instrument such as risking 2% on a single position if the traders max daily loss is 5%, or
(c) trading with no stop loss.
For every trade, the trader must add a stop loss within 120 seconds (2 minutes) of the position open time. Any modifications within this initial 120 seconds (2 minutes) are immune from the Risk Management Rules, i.e. You have unlimited opportunities within this initial 120 seconds (2 minutes) to make sure your stop loss is set to a level which does breach the Responsible Trading Policy.
After this initial 120 seconds (2 minutes), traders have no limit on how many times they may modify a position, but we will only permit one stop loss modification error which breaches the RTP as long as it is rectified within 30 seconds of the error being made. For example, if the trader moves their stop loss to a price which breaches the RTP, they have 30 seconds to amend the mistake and must not make any more mistakes for the remaining duration of this trade.
The stop loss value when the trade is closed is final. If a trade is closed with no stop loss or if the stop loss set breaches the risk management rules, this will be a breach regardless of the trade duration.
Trades closed without a stop loss will automatically deem the account to be high risk and we reserve the right to take any of the actions listed in ponts a - i stated below.
Accounts are reviewed manually on a regular basis, and at key events such as the progression from from Phase 1 to Phase 2, Phase 2 to Phase 3 (Funded Phase), the request for an account scale or a withdrawal request. If we see signs of gambling or “all-or-nothing” mentality or if we deem an account to be extremely high risk, we reserve the right to take any of the following actions:
(a) Reset a Challenge account to the start of Phase 1.
(b) Reset a Challenge account to the start of Phase 2.
(c) Rejection of request for Funded Status.
(d) Reset of Funded Account (either Funded Challenge or Instant Funding) back to initial funded capital.
(e) Temporary reduction of between 25% and 100% of profit split.
(f) Refusal of Withdrawal.
(g) Refusal to Scale.
(h) Full Account Termination.
(i) Reduction in Account Leverage
