The Standard Challenge is designed for traders who demonstrate consistent profitability and disciplined risk management. It includes two phases to ensure trades are managed effectively, risk management practices are upheld, and profits are generated consistently.
The profit target for our Standard Challenge is 10%.
This means you must achieve 10% of the initial balance to successfully meet the profit target.
Example: For a $100,000 account, the balance must reach $110,000—an increase of $10,000 (10%).
The maximum daily loss for our Standard Challenge is 5%.
This means your account balance may not drop below 5% of the initial balance or equity (whichever is higher) at the start of the trading day.
Example:
For a $100,000 account, the balance must not fall below $95,000—a decrease of $5,000 (5%).
The maximum loss for our Standard Challenge is 10%.
This means your account balance may not drop below 10% of the initial balance at any point during the funding process.
Example:
For a $100,000 account, the balance must not fall below $90,000—a decrease of $10,000 (10%).
The drawdown level is calculated using the higher value between the balance and the equity at the start of the day. This figure is used to determine the drawdown level for that trading day.
Our two-step Standard Challenge uses a static drawdown system.
Yes, we implement a maximum lot rule on our accounts. The maximum lot sizes are as follows:
Metals: 10 lots per $100,000
Forex (FX): 40 lots per $100,000
Use these figures to calculate the maximum lot size allowed for your selected account size. Any trades placed above this limit will not be counted and may result in a breach of the account.
The Standard Challenge has no minimum trading day requirements for its two phases.
At House of Leverage, we offer traders five different funding levels: $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, and $200,000. Each account size represents the available balance throughout the funding process.
Note: All figures are in U.S. dollars (USD).

We allow news trading during all challenge phases without restrictions. However, for live funded accounts, trades must not be placed or closed within 5 minutes before or after high-impact news events (red folder events).
Violating this rule will result in profits being deducted, and the account will be terminated. We strongly advise all traders to carefully monitor news events.

At House of Leverage, we recognize that traders have diverse styles and strategies. We aim to provide flexibility; however, certain strategies are prohibited to ensure strict risk management. These include:
Yes, we enforce a maximum lot size rule on our accounts. The maximum lot sizes are as follows:
Use these figures to calculate the maximum lot size allowed for your selected account size. Any trades placed above this limit will not be counted and may result in a breach of the account.
The daily drawdown across all account types resets at 5 PM EST daily. This aligns with the market rollover. The daily drawdown limit is calculated based on the previous day’s balance/equity at 5 PM EST.
Stop losses are not required in our challenges, but we highly recommend using them as part of effective risk management strategies.
To keep your account active, you must place at least one trade every 30 days from the date your account is created. Failure to do so will result in your account becoming inactive and a breach of the account.
Yes, we implement a maximum profit per trading setup rule. This rule is as follows:
To maintain balanced profitability and mitigate risk, no single trading setup can contribute more than 40% of your cumulative profits.
Example:
If a trade’s potential profit exceeds $4,000, adjust the position size accordingly to comply with the rule.
This rule is designed to promote disciplined trading and ensure account stability.
All traders operating on our funded accounts are required to follow a strict maximum 2% risk per trade rule. This policy is essential to ensure that trading activity reflects sound risk management principles and encourages consistent, disciplined trading behaviour.
Calculation of the 2% Risk:
The 2% risk limit is calculated based on the initial balance of your funded account.
For example, with a $100,000 account, the maximum permissible risk per trade is $2,000.
Important Compliance Information:
Any trade that exceeds this 2% threshold will be forfeited and will not contribute to your account’s profit calculations.
This rule is designed to safeguard both your capital and the firm’s, ensuring a secure and sustainable trading environment for all parties involved.

Disclosure on Hypothetical Performance: The accounts utilized for our services are demo accounts. Hypothetical performance results come with inherent limitations, among which include the fact that they do not reflect actual trading. No claim is made that any account will achieve or is likely to achieve profits or losses comparable to those discussed; in reality, actual results can significantly differ from those predicted by hypothetical performance. Hypothetical performance often benefits from hindsight, does not account for financial risk, and cannot consider the financial risk in actual trading. For instance, the capacity to endure losses or to stick to a trading plan despite losses are crucial factors that can negatively impact real trading results. Many other market factors or aspects of implementing a specific trading program not accounted for in hypothetical performance preparation can also adversely affect actual trading results. Please be aware that we do not offer specific investment advice, business consulting, analysis of investment opportunities, or any general recommendations on trading investment instruments. Trading in financial markets carries a high level of risk, and we advise against risking more than you can afford to lose. House Of Leverage funded accounts are not live trading accounts, they are fully simulated accounts utilizing real market quotes from liquidity providers.
