03Daily loss limit
Your daily loss 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 3% 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.
Example 1 — $10,000 account, balance and equity equal at reset
At 5 PM EST: Balance = $10,000, Equity = $10,000. System takes the higher value: $10,000. Daily loss = 3% of $10,000 = $300. Breach level = $10,000 − $300 = $9,700. Neither your balance nor your equity should drop below $9,700 on the following trading day.
Example 2 — trader has open profitable positions at reset
At 5 PM EST: Balance = $10,000, Equity = $10,300 (open profit). System takes the higher value: $10,300. Daily loss = 3% of $10,300 = $309. Breach level = $10,300 − $309 = $9,991. Neither your balance nor your equity should drop below $9,991 on the following trading day.
04Overall loss limit
The maximum overall loss is 4% trailing, calculated from your highest equity value recorded on the account. As your equity grows the floor moves up with it, always remaining 4% below the peak equity. Once the trailing floor reaches your initial account balance it locks there permanently — you can never lose below where you started.
Example — $10,000 account
Starting equity: $10,000. Initial floor = $10,000 − 4% ($400) = $9,600. Trader grows equity to $10,800. New floor = $10,800 − $400 = $10,400. If equity then drops to $10,400 the account is breached. The floor does not move down, only up.
05Floating loss limit
The system monitors the total floating losses across all open positions in real time. If your combined unrealised losses across all open trades reach 2% of your starting balance, all open positions are automatically closed across all symbols to prevent further losses.
- This is a soft intervention — you are not disqualified.
- You can open new positions immediately after the system intervenes.
- The floating loss is calculated across all open positions simultaneously, not per trade or per symbol.
06Payouts
Payouts on the Minty funded account are available on demand. To request a payout, the following conditions must be met:
- Minimum withdrawal threshold: you must have generated at least 4% profit on your starting balance before any payout request can be submitted.
- Consistency score: at least 20% — no single trading day can account for more than 20% of your total profit.
- No open positions at the time of the payout request.
- Minimum payout: $100.
- Giveaway accounts: maximum single payout of $200. After the payout is issued the account is permanently closed.
07Giveaway account payout cap
All giveaway Minty accounts are limited to a single payout of up to $200.
After the payout has been processed, the account is permanently closed. Traders may then purchase any Capital Mint Markets challenge to continue trading in the ecosystem.
Frequently Asked Questions
Minty Flash FAQs.
Key trader-facing answers covering account sizes, targets, drawdowns, expiry, payout conditions, and giveaway account limits.
01What is the Minty Flash Challenge?
Minty is a time-limited challenge giving traders access to a funded account at an ultra-low entry cost. You have 7 days to hit a 4% profit target while staying within the risk rules. Pass and you receive a funded account immediately.
02What account sizes are available?
$2,500, $5,000, $10,000, and $15,000.
03What is the profit target?
4% of your starting balance. On a $10,000 account you need to reach $10,400 within 7 days.
04What is the daily loss limit?
Your daily loss limit is 3%. At 5 PM EST each day, the system checks both your balance and your equity, and takes the higher of the two values. The daily loss allowance for the next trading day is then calculated as 3% of that higher value.
Your breach level for the following day is that reset value minus the 3% daily loss amount. During the next trading day, neither your balance nor your equity may fall below that breach level.
Example 1 — $10,000 account, balance and equity equal at reset
- At 5 PM EST: Balance = $10,000, Equity = $10,000
- System takes the higher value: $10,000
- Daily loss = 3% of $10,000 = $300
- Breach level for the next day = $10,000 − $300 = $9,700
- Neither your balance nor your equity may drop below $9,700 during the following trading day
Example 2 — trader has open profitable positions at reset
- At 5 PM EST: Balance = $10,000, Equity = $10,300
- System takes the higher value: $10,300
- Daily loss = 3% of $10,300 = $309
- Breach level for the next day = $10,300 − $309 = $9,991
- Neither your balance nor your equity may drop below $9,991 during the following trading day
05What is the overall loss limit?
The maximum overall loss is a 4% trailing drawdown based on your highest equity reached on the account.
The trailing floor always stays 4% below peak equity. As your equity increases, the overall loss floor moves up with it. Once the trailing floor reaches your starting balance, it locks there permanently and does not trail any further.
Example — $10,000 account
- Starting equity = $10,000
- Initial trailing floor = $10,000 − $400 = $9,600
- If your equity grows to $10,800, the new trailing floor becomes $10,800 − $400 = $10,400
- If equity then falls to $10,400, the account is breached
- The floor only moves upward with new peak equity — it never moves down
- Once the floor reaches $10,000, it locks there permanently
06What is the floating loss limit?
The system monitors the total floating losses across all your open positions in real time. If your combined unrealised losses reach 2% of your starting balance, all open positions are automatically closed across all symbols.
This is a soft intervention — you are not disqualified and can continue trading immediately.
07Is the drawdown trailing or static?
The daily loss limit is 3% and is calculated from the higher of your balance or equity at the 5 PM EST daily reset.
The overall loss limit is 4% trailing, based on your highest equity, and it locks once it reaches the starting balance.
08Does the challenge expire?
Yes. The challenge expires after 7 days from activation. If you do not hit the 4% profit target within 7 days the challenge is failed. There is no extension.
09Can I trade news events?
Yes, news trading is permitted during the challenge phase. Once you are on a funded account, news trading is restricted.
10Can I trade over the weekend?
Yes, weekend trading is permitted on both the challenge and funded account.
11How do payouts work on the funded account?
Payouts are available on demand once you have achieved at least 4% profit on your starting balance.
Your consistency score must be at least 20%, meaning no single trading day can account for more than 20% of your total profit.
You must have no open positions at the time of the payout request. Minimum payout is $100. Giveaway accounts are capped at $200 per payout, after which the account is closed.
12What is the minimum withdrawal threshold?
You must generate at least 4% profit on your starting balance before you can submit a payout request. On a $10,000 account this means your account must reach $10,400 before any withdrawal can be made.
The 4% threshold must be met first, irrespective of whether the 20% consistency requirement has been met.
13What is the profit split?
80% to the trader.
14What leverage is available?
1:30 on Forex, 1:10 on Indices, and 1:5 on Commodities.
