Rules & Parameters
Velocity Funds Rules
A clear breakdown of evaluation rules, risk parameters, and reward structures for each Velocity Starter and Velocity Funded account.
These rules apply to all Velocity Starter evaluations and Velocity Funded simulated accounts operated by Velocity Funds LLC. Velocity Funds is built around professional risk behavior, not one-off lucky runs. There is no fixed time limit to reach your profit target as long as your subscription is active, but you must respect the minimum trading days shown in the rules table above.
Trading Instruments
Velocity Funds currently operates in a fully simulated futures environment using our supported brokerage and technology partners (for example, Rithmic). Only products made available in your platform and account are permitted.
- You may trade the exchange-traded futures contracts and micros enabled in your login.
- Spot FX, crypto, options, CFDs, and any product not explicitly enabled in your account are not permitted.
- All positions must be closed in accordance with exchange hours and any overnight or holiday restrictions communicated by Velocity Funds or its partners.
Account Credentials & Usage
Every evaluation and funded login is intended for a single individual trader. Sharing access or operating as an undeclared group harms both the firm and other traders.
- Do not share your dashboard or platform credentials with anyone.
- You are responsible for all trades placed under your credentials, whether placed by you or someone you allowed to access your account.
- Velocity Funds may suspend or close accounts that show signs of credential sharing, multi-user activity, or other security risks.
Inactivity & Account Closure
To keep the environment efficient, inactive accounts may be closed so resources can be reallocated to active traders.
- If no trades are placed for an extended period (for example, 30 consecutive calendar days), your evaluation or funded account may be marked inactive and closed.
- Closed inactive accounts are not eligible for rewards. A new evaluation purchase may be required to participate again.
- Specific inactivity windows and processes may be updated over time and communicated via email, dashboard notifications, or this page.
IP Address, Devices & Multiple Accounts
Velocity Funds monitors logins and trade flow to protect the integrity of the programs. Activity that appears coordinated or abusive may lead to review or closure of related accounts.
- Multiple accounts accessing from the same IP address or device may be reviewed for copy trading or other prohibited coordination.
- Using VPNs, VPSs, or remote servers is allowed, but attempting to hide identity or circumvent restrictions is not.
- Velocity Funds may merge, close, or restrict accounts that appear to be used collectively to bypass contract limits, reward caps, or other rules.
This Rules section is a high-level summary of how the Velocity Starter and Velocity Funded programs operate. It should be read together with the Terms & Conditions and Risk Disclosure, which govern your use of the platform.
Discipline, Pace & Consistency
Velocity Funds is built around professional risk behavior, not one-off lucky runs. There is no fixed time limit to reach your profit target as long as your subscription is active, but you must respect the minimum trading days shown in the rules table above.
- Your results must show consistent execution, not extreme single-day spikes.
- During the evaluation, no single day's net profit may exceed 40% of your total evaluation profits.
- Accounts may be reviewed or disqualified if trading behavior resembles gambling, martingale, or other non-professional patterns.
Trading Behaviour & Rules
All trading must be conducted fairly and in line with how a professional futures desk would operate. Any attempt to game the environment or exploit technical limitations may result in account closure.
- No intentional latency, arbitrage, or platform-exploit strategies.
- No mirroring, copy trading, or signal-sharing between multiple Velocity accounts for the purpose of bypassing rules.
- No fully automated high-frequency systems designed to exploit tick data or infrastructure instead of market opportunity.
- All positions must comply with the contract limits, risk limits, and product restrictions shown on this page and inside your dashboard.
- Holding into restricted events or trading behavior that contradicts broker or exchange rules may result in disqualification, even if other metrics are respected.
Velocity Funded ("Live") Stage
When you pass the evaluation and move into the Velocity Funded stage, you are still trading a simulated account. Velocity Funds may use your performance to inform internal risk allocation, but you have no claim on specific firm capital or positions.
- All risk parameters (trailing loss, contract limits, and similar) continue to apply in the funded stage.
- Failure to respect rules in the funded stage can result in account closure and forfeiture of pending rewards.
- Velocity Funds reserves the right to end, pause, or modify a funded account at its discretion in order to manage firmwide risk.
Your account is considered breached if you violate any of the core risk parameters or behavioural rules. The live rules table above is the source of truth for current limits.
- Breaching the Max End-of-Day Trailing Loss or Maximum Daily Loss displayed for your account will fail the account.
- Exceeding your maximum allowed contracts or micros will result in a breach.
- Serious behavioural violations (for example platform abuse, prohibited arbitrage, or account sharing) may result in immediate closure with no eligibility for resets or rewards.
- Reset options, when available, will be shown clearly in your client dashboard and may require a reset fee or new evaluation purchase.
Rewards, Dynamic Caps & Payout Structure
All Velocity Funded accounts remain simulated. Rewards are paid based on performance in the simulated environment, subject to review of risk, behavior, and consistency.
- Reward cycles are typically every 5 active trading days with an 80% reward split, as shown in the rules table.
- Funded accounts are subject to a dynamic reward cap per payout cycle. The current caps for each account size are reflected in the Dynamic Reward Cap table below.
- For the $50K Velocity Starter program, traders may operate under either our standard dynamic reward schedule or a flat $1,000 reward cap per cycle, selectable inside the dashboard.
- Rewards are only paid on accounts that have respected all rules, including the consistency rule and contract limits. Violations discovered during review may void a pending reward.
- Velocity Funds may adjust reward schedules, caps, or splits over time. Any changes will be communicated on this page and or in your dashboard and will only apply going forward.
Note: All activity takes place in a simulated environment. No live market funds are deposited to or withdrawn from any broker account in your name as a result of participating in Velocity Starter or Velocity Funded programs.
