Your Questions, Answered.

Clear answers to the most common questions about our challenges, trading conditions, payouts and account policies.

The BOGO45 promotion is a limited-time offer that gives you:

  • 45% off your purchase, and
  • One free Mint Direct account as a bonus reward.

    Note: The free account provided under this promotion is a Mint Direct account, not
    an instant funded account issued at the point of purchase. 

 
  1. Purchase an eligible Mint Direct account using the code BOGO45 at checkout.
  2. You receive 45% off at checkout immediately.
  3. Your free account is not issued immediately — it becomes available once you
    have met the Mint Direct qualification criteria on your purchased account.

To unlock your free Mint Direct account you must meet both of the following
conditions on your purchased account:

  • Reach a cumulative PnL of 12% on the account, and
  • Not have violated the floating loss rule at any point.

    Once both conditions are met your free account becomes claimable.
 

Once you have met both qualification criteria, contact our support team to claim your free BOGO45 account. It will not be issued automatically — you must reach out to us to trigger the process.

 

The free account issued through the BOGO45 promotion is a Mint Direct account at the same size as your originally purchased account.

 

If you violate the floating loss rule at any point during your trading, you will no longer be eligible for the free BOGO45 account. Both conditions must be met simultaneously on the same account.

 

Mint Direct is our instant-funded standard account. There is no evaluation — you receive funded access from day one. There is no profit target.

The overall drawdown is 6% trailing, calculated from the highest closed balance recorded on the account. As your closed balance grows the floor moves up with it, always remaining 6% below the peak closed balance. Once the trailing floor reaches your initial account balance it locks there permanently — you can never lose below where you started.

Your daily loss limit is 3%, calculated from whichever is higher between your balance and equity at the 5 PM EST reset the previous day. That fixed dollar amount stays constant for the following trading day regardless of intraday movement.

Example — $10,000 account

  • Balance and equity at 5 PM EST = $10,000. Fixed daily loss amount = 3% of $10,000 = $300. Breach level for the next day = $10,000 − $300 = $9,700.
  • Balance $10,000, equity at 5 PM EST = $10,500 (open profit). System takes the higher value. Daily loss amount = 3% of $10,000 starting balance = $300. Breach level = $10,500 − $300 = $10,200.

First payout is available after 3 minimum trading days and 2.5% minimum profit. A trading day counts only once at least 0.25% profit is generated on that day.

Mint Vault is our premium instant-funded account. There is no evaluation — you receive funded access from day one. There is no profit target.

The overall drawdown starts at 8% fixed from your starting balance. On a $100,000 account this means your equity must not fall below $92,000 at any point. Once you achieve 5% profit on your starting balance the floor permanently locks upward — on a $100,000 account that means it moves from $92,000 to $97,000, which is 3% below your starting balance. This new level stays fixed for the life of the account regardless of any subsequent performance.

Your daily loss limit is 3%, calculated from whichever is higher between your balance and equity at the 5 PM EST reset the previous day. That fixed dollar amount stays constant for the following trading day regardless of intraday movement.

A 1% floating loss limit applies across all open positions simultaneously. If your total floating loss across all open trades reaches 1% of your starting balance, all positions are closed automatically. This is a soft intervention — you are not disqualified and can continue trading immediately. A second breach results in a hard breach and the account is closed.

Payouts are available on demand once you achieve 5% minimum profit and meet the 15% consistency requirement — meaning no single trading day can account for more than 15% of your total profit.

The overall loss limit on Mint Vault operates in two stages. It starts at 8% below your starting balance and is fixed from the moment your account opens. On a $100,000 account your equity must not fall below $92,000 at any point.

Once you achieve 5% profit on your starting balance the floor permanently moves up to 3% below your starting balance. On a $100,000 account that means the floor moves from $92,000 to $97,000 and stays there for the life of the account. It does not move again regardless of any further growth or drawdown.

Mint Sprint is our fastest one-step evaluation. One phase, one 10% profit target, one clear route to funding. Trailing drawdown of 10%, 4% daily loss (5% with add-on), 3 minimum trading days. After passing, you move into a funded account with the same risk limits.

A 2% floating loss limit applies across all open positions simultaneously. If your total floating loss across all open trades reaches 2% of your starting balance, all positions are closed automatically. This is a soft intervention — your first violation results in positions being closed and your profit share reduces to 50% for that cycle. A second violation results in a hard breach and the account is closed.

Mint Precision is our conservative one-step evaluation. The drawdown is static — it never trails. 10% profit target, 3% static daily loss, 6% static overall loss, and a 30% consistency rule apply throughout both the challenge and funded phases. Designed for traders who prefer predictable, fixed risk levels.

A 2% floating loss limit applies across all open positions simultaneously. If your total floating loss across all open trades reaches 2% of your starting balance, all positions are closed automatically. Your first violation is a soft intervention — positions are closed and your profit share reduces to 50% for that cycle. A second violation results in a hard breach and the account is closed.

Mint Precision requires a minimum of 3 active trading days on both the evaluation phase and the funded phase before a payout can be approved.

A trading day counts only if you generate at least 0.25% profit on that day. Days where you trade but do not reach the 0.25% threshold do not count toward the minimum.

There is no maximum number of trading days and no overall time limit.

Mint Ascend is our two-phase evaluation. Phase 1 has an 8% profit target, Phase 2 has a 5% profit target, and the drawdown is fixed at 8% from your starting balance (10% with the add-on). 4% daily loss (5% with add-on), 3 minimum trading days per phase. No time limit.

A 2% floating loss limit applies across all open positions simultaneously. If your total floating loss across all open trades reaches 2% of your starting balance, all positions are closed automatically. Your first violation is a soft intervention — positions are closed and your profit share reduces to 50% for that cycle. A second violation results in a hard breach and the account is closed.

Your daily drawdown limit is calculated at 5 PM EST each day. The system looks at both your balance and your equity at that moment and takes the higher of the two values. It then applies your fixed daily loss percentage to that higher value. That result becomes your breach level for the following trading day — neither your balance nor your equity should cross below it at any point.

1. Example 1 — Mint Direct, $100,000 account (3% daily loss)

At 5 PM EST: Balance = $100,000, Equity = $101,500. System takes the higher value: $101,500. Daily loss = 3% of $101,500 = $3,045. Breach level = $101,500 − $3,045 = $98,455. Neither your balance nor your equity should drop below $98,455 on the following trading day.

2. Example 2 — Mint Direct, $50,000 account (3% daily loss)

At 5 PM EST: Balance = $50,000, Equity = $51,200. System takes the higher value: $51,200. Daily loss = 3% of $51,200 = $1,536. Breach level = $51,200 − $1,536 = $49,664. Neither your balance nor your equity should drop below $49,664 on the following trading day.

The floating-loss limit is a real-time safety net. The system monitors floating losses across all open trades on your account at all times. If your combined open P&L reaches the floating-loss threshold for your product, the system automatically closes all open positions across all symbols.

This is a soft intervention — you are not disqualified. You can continue trading immediately after the system closes your positions. A second violation, however, will result in a full account closure.

The floating-loss thresholds for live products are:

  • Mint Direct: 2% of starting balance
  • Mint Vault: 1% of starting balance
  • Mint Sprint: 2% of starting balance
  • Mint Precision: 2% of starting balance
  • Mint Ascend: 2% of starting balance

This protects your account from breaching the daily or overall drawdown limits because of unrealised losses building up across multiple open trades. Most prop firms breach you the moment you cross a line — we close your positions first.

Different challenges apply consistency rules in different ways:

  • Mint Direct: 20% consistency required to request a payout (no single day > 20% of total profit).
  • Mint Vault: 15% consistency required to request a payout (no single day > 15% of total profit).
  • Mint Precision: 30% consistency rule applies throughout both the evaluation and funded phases.
  • Mint Ascend: 40% consistency rule applies on the funded phase.
  • Mint Sprint: No consistency rule.

The formula is: Consistency % = (Highest day profit ÷ Total profit) × 100. If you exceed the threshold, the account does not fail — you simply continue trading until your profits are more evenly distributed.

  • Trailing drawdown (Mint Direct, Mint Sprint): The maximum loss level moves upward as your equity reaches new highs. Your drawdown buffer trails behind your highest equity point.
  • Fixed drawdown (Mint Ascend): The maximum loss level is set from your starting balance and does not move for the life of the account.
  • Static drawdown (Mint Precision): Same as fixed — calculated from the initial balance only and does not change.
  • Smart Lock (Mint Vault): Hybrid — fixed at 8% below starting balance until you reach 5% profit, then permanently locks upward to your starting balance (breakeven).

Your daily drawdown limit is a fixed dollar amount, calculated once from your initial account balance. On a $100,000 account with a 4% daily limit, that’s $4,000. That dollar amount stays fixed for the life of the account — it doesn’t grow or shrink with your equity.

At 5 PM EST each day, the system stores your equity at that moment. Your breach level for the next trading day is calculated by subtracting your fixed dollar amount from that stored equity. If your equity drops below that level at any point during the trading day, the account is breached.

Example — $100,000 account, 4% daily ($4,000 fixed):

Day 1 reset: Equity at 5 PM EST = $100,000
→ Breach level for Day 2 = $100,000 − $4,000 = $96,000
→ Your equity must not drop below $96,000 on Day 2.

Day 1: Trader makes $2,000. Equity at 5 PM EST = $102,000
→ System stores $102,000 as new starting equity
→ Breach level for Day 2 = $102,000 − $4,000 = $98,000

The $4,000 daily loss amount does not change. Only the breach level updates each day, based on stored equity.

Leverage is set by asset group and applies the same across all five challenge types:

Forex (Major and Minor) 1:30
Indices 1:10
Commodities (Metals and Energy) 1:5
Cryptocurrencies (CFD) 1:2

By default, news trading is restricted across all challenge types. Without the News Trading add-on, you must not open, close, or modify trades within 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after designated restricted events such as CPI, FOMC, NFP, GDP releases, and major central bank statements. The add-on removes this restriction.

 

Weekend holding is restricted by default on funded accounts. The Weekend Holding add-on is available if you wish to leave positions open over the weekend, provided you remain compliant with all risk limits and trading rules.

 

At no point should the margin used on a single trade idea exceed 50% of the account’s starting balance. You should never have more than half your starting account balance tied up in one trade idea at any time.

In addition, Capital Mint Markets monitors the total floating losses across all open positions on your account at all times. If your combined open P&L reaches the floating-loss limit for your product, all open positions are automatically closed.

How it’s applied:

  • This rule applies to funded accounts only.
  • Exposure is assessed on the combined margin of all positions that form part of the same trade idea.
  • The 50% margin limit applies per trade idea, not across the entire account.
  • Reopening a position on the same pair in the same direction within 10 minutes of a losing close is treated as a continuation of the previous trade idea and counts toward the same limit.
  • Evaluation stage: Only custom bots are permitted. Third-party applications and signal services are not supported.
  • Funded stage: You may use third-party applications, provided you remain compliant with all trading rules, risk limits, and prohibited behaviour policies.
  • Copy trading: You may only copy trades that you placed yourself. Copying other traders, paid signals, or third-party signal services is not allowed on any account.
  • Within the same account: Allowed.
  • Across multiple accounts: Not allowed.
  • Several strategies are prohibited because they distort results, exploit conditions, or create an unfair advantage. The most consequential are: insider tradingfront-runningarbitrage / latency arbitragetick scalpingdata feed manipulationgroup hedging, and account management abuse — all resulting in an immediate ban. Other restricted activities include HFTmartingalegrid tradingsignal copyingorder splitting, and news trading without the add-on, which trigger warnings, profit deductions, or bans depending on severity.

     

Different challenges apply consistency rules in different ways:

  • Mint Direct: 20% consistency required to request a payout (no single day > 20% of total profit).
  • Mint Vault: 15% consistency required to request a payout (no single day > 15% of total profit).
  • Mint Precision: 30% consistency rule applies throughout both the evaluation and funded phases.
  • Mint Ascend: 40% consistency rule applies on the funded phase.
  • Mint Sprint: No consistency rule.

The formula is: Consistency % = (Highest day profit ÷ Total profit) × 100. If you exceed the threshold, the account does not fail — you simply continue trading until your profits are more evenly distributed.

Challenge Fee Refund add-on Refunds your challenge fee with the third funded payout See below

If you purchase the Challenge Fee Refund add-on, your challenge fee is refunded with your third funded payout, provided you have generated enough profit to qualify for that payout under the standard withdrawal rules.

Refund eligibility depends on whether trading activity has occurred:

  • Eligible: Account purchased and no trades placed within 14 days of purchase.
  • Not eligible: Any trade has been placed (the account becomes active and is no longer refundable).
  • Not eligible: The account has been disabled for inactivity.

To request a refund, contact Capital Mint Markets support and include your order number and purchase email address.

Accounts with no trading activity for 30 consecutive days are automatically disabled. Once disabled for inactivity, the challenge is treated as failed and cannot be reinstated. No refunds are issued for accounts disabled due to inactivity. The inactivity timer starts from the date the account is issued.

 

No. Capital Mint Markets does not support merging funded accounts under any challenge type. Each funded account is treated as a separate account with its own risk limits, trading history, and payout tracking. You may hold multiple funded accounts, but the combined starting balances must remain at or below $100,000.

 

In the event of extreme market volatility — defined as price movements exceeding 1.5× the normal Average Daily Range (ADR) for two or more consecutive days — the firm may classify this as a Black Swan Event and temporarily implement risk adjustments such as reduced leverage, a maximum risk per trade idea, or temporary changes to trading conditions. These measures are designed to protect both traders and the firm during periods of abnormal market behaviour.
