First Frontier FZ-LLC is a privately-owned company registered by the Registrar of Companies, Ras Al-Khaimah Government's Economic Zone Authority in the United Arab Emirates with the registration ‎number 0000004042431. Our registered address is Compass Building, Al Shohada Road, AL Hamra Industrial Zone-FZ, Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. First Frontier operates as an educational trading ‎community and a simulated trading evaluation firm. The intent of the Company is to identify individuals with a demonstrated ability for trading. No live trading is provided by the Company in either the challenge phases or funded simulation. Traders who pass an assessment offered by the Company shall be issued a live simulated account to trade in a live simulated environment under the terms of an agreement with Funding Frontier.

We want to be clear that First Frontier is not authorized or regulated by the Central Bank of the UAE (CB), the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), or the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA). We do not undertake any financially regulated activities.

First Frontier provides a unique service model that differs from traditional financial institutions. We are not a financial institution or a broker, and we do not ‎market any brokerage services. It's important to understand that we do not invest Funded Traders' capital or trade it on the financial markets. All ‎funding is provided exclusively by the company's own and its directors' capital. Our primary service is providing practical evaluation for educational purposes through our Funded Trader Programs, giving traders an opportunity to enhance their risk management capabilities, ‎trading psychology, and profit-compounding skills within a simulated trading environment.

Details regarding specific requirements, targets, rules, and restrictions for each phase are fully documented in our Program Rules and FAQ. These requirements and rules are subject to change, and the current version published on our website shall be considered the operative version at any given time.

- Copy trading from external sources
- Group trading activities

The trading rules and risk management requirements detailed in the Program Rules and FAQ are not exhaustive, and First Frontier reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether any trading activity violates the spirit or intent of our program rules, even if not specifically prohibited.

Compliance with all trading rules and risk management policies is mandatory and essential to maintain participation in the program. We strongly encourage all traders to thoroughly review and regularly reference the Program Rules and FAQ to ensure continued compliance.

If the trader has been inactive for 30 days, First Frontier reserves the right to close the account with no refund. This is to re-allocate resources and to ensure our trade servers and our dashboard are running at optimal performance. A minimum of 1 trade should be placed every 30 days for the account to remain active.

The trader must not breach any rules set out in the Responsible Trading Policy Breaking the Daily Drawdown Rule, the Max Drawdown Rule, multiple breaches of a soft breach rule or the Inactivity Rule will result in account termination. Breaching the Responsible Trading Policy may result in the trader's funded request being rejected and thus being required to re-attempt the evaluation. First Frontier reserves the right to change the rules for Challenge Accounts at any time. If we discover at a later time that you have breached any of our terms and conditions, we reserve the right to terminate your account. In the event this happens, you will not be entitled to a refund.

The Trader must continue to use the same strategy when funded as during the challenge. If there is a significant change of behaviour when funded (suggesting a change of trading strategy) a withdrawal can be refused. This will be at the sole discretion of First Frontier. The trader must not breach any rules set out in the Responsible Trading Policy. Breaking the Daily Drawdown Rule, the Max Drawdown Rule, the Inactivity Rule or the Trading Behaviour Rule will result in account termination. Breaching the Responsible Trading Policy may result in the trader's funded account balance being reset, and/or a temporary reduction of profit split to 25%, and/or a withdrawal being refused, and/or a scaling request being rejected and in extreme circumstances, account termination. The final decision will be at the discretion of First Frontier. First Frontier reserves the right to change the rules for Challenge Accounts at any time. If we discover at a later time that you have breached any of our terms and conditions, we reserve the right to terminate your account. In the event this happens, you will not be entitled to a refund.

eligibil1. 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 points a - i stated below.

Accounts are reviewed manually on a regular basis, and at key events such as the progression 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
