Challenge Rules
and Requirements
Our challenge rules and requirements have been put in place to protect our learners
and help you to make the most of your Plus Markets account.
Please read through the following requirements carefully before using Plus Markets.
Plus Markets Eligibility Criteria
Before joining Plus Markets, prospective learners must meet specific eligibility criteria.
First and foremost, all applicants must be at least 18 years old to participate
in our proprietary challenge program.
Additionally, learners must ensure they comply with all applicable laws and regulations in their jurisdiction. It is the responsibility of each participant to understand and adhere to any legal requirements that may affect their ability to learn.
While prior challenge experience can be beneficial, it is not a strict requirement.
We welcome beginners who are eager to learn and demonstrate a strong willingness to follow
our guidelines. Commitment to discipline, risk management, and continuous improvement
is essential for success in our program.
How to Become a Plus Learner
Plus Learners (sometimes referred to as allocated learners) can earn money from their simulated challenge accounts. Anyone can unlock Plus Learner status by placing successful learns in a simulated challenge environment.
To become a allocated learnr with Plus Markets, you must follow a straightforward process designed to assess your challenge skills and suitability for our program.
The first step is to choose a allocating challenge. We offer 3-step, 2-step and 1-step challenges for accounts up to $100K. The challenge that you choose to take will dictate the size of your challenge account.
If you do not pass the evaluation, you will not be eligible to become a Plus Learner. You are welcome to retake a challenge as many times as you wish.
As a Plus Learner, learners must learn in accordance with our challenge best practices and stay within the 10% daily loss limit. If you do not stay within these parameters, your account will be closed.
Successful learners can keep up to 90% of the profits that they make as a Plus Learner. Profits are paid out weekly or bi-weekly.
Challenge Challenges
To ensure learners are prepared to learn in line with our rules, we offer structured challenge challenges:
Challenge tiers: Select from Fast Track, Accelerate, or Launch Pad challenge.
Evaluation Period: If you select a 2-step/3-step challenge, you will be required to pass an evaluation period. This gives you a chance to practice challenge within our rules and earn Plus Learner status. Your account will not be shut down during this period. However, you will not be able to move on to the next phase until you meet the challenge requirements.
Performance metrics: To pass a Plus Markets challenge, you must meet or exceed profit targets while maintaining compliance with risk management guidelines. If you are unable to reach these targets, you will not be given a allocated account.
Risk Management Rules
Effective risk management is crucial for all learners at Plus Markets. To ensure long-term success and
responsible challenge, learners must adhere to specific risk parameters.
The daily loss limit must not be exceeded, meaning learners should carefully manage their learns to avoid surpassing the maximum allowable loss in a single challenge day.
Additionally, learners must operate within the maximum drawdown limits, ensuring that overall losses remain within the set thresholds throughout the evaluation period.
Proper position sizing is also essential, requiring learners to follow guidelines on the maximum size of individual learns in relation to their account equity.
Finally, learners must use leverage responsibly, staying within the limits assigned to their accounts to maintain control over risk exposure.
Challenge Conduct
We expect all learners to maintain professionalism and integrity:
Adherence to strategies: Learn according to the strategies and plans discussed during the application process.
Prohibited practices: Avoid unethical practices such as market manipulation, or any form of deceitful behavior.
Use of automated systems: Obtain approval before employing Expert Advisors (EAs) or automated challenge systems. Ensure these tools comply with our guidelines and do not pose undue risk.
Challenge Instruments
Plus Markets is a simulated challenge platform that uses the MT5 and DXlearn challenge interfaces.
Learners can learn forex, crypto, and commodities with commissions from $4 per standard lot round turn.
All challenge is simulated, which means that you do not own the underlying asset at any time during the challenge process.
The instruments available through Plus Markets are designed to simulate those that are offered by live challenge platforms.
Challenge Account Credentials
Once you buy a challenge, you will be given unique login credentials. It is prohibited to change your login credentials. Any learnr that changes their credentials will have their account terminated.
It is important that you store your account credentials in a safe and secure location.
You will not be able to withdraw your profits without access to your account.
The Plus Markets team continuously monitors each challenge account for suspicious activity.
If we believe that a third party has gained access to your account, we will shut it down.
Payouts
Successful learners are eligible to receive up to 90% of the profits that they make as a payout. Payouts are processed weekly, ensuring that learners can quickly access their earnings. To qualify for a payout, learners must place profitable learns while adhering to all challenge rules.
Become a Plus Learner: If you choose the Accelerate or Launch Pad challenge, you will need to pass an evaluation phase before earning Plus Learner status. If you opt for the Fast Track challenge, you will automatically be given Plus Learner status (after passing the verification).
Make profitable learns: Use your desired challenge strategy to place profitable learns within our challenge rules. You will be eligible to receive up to 90% of the profits that you make.
Request a payout: Once you have made a profit, you will be able to request a payout.
Processing & approval: Our team verifies that all challenge rules were followed before approving the payout.
Receive your earnings: Approved payouts are sent via your chosen withdrawal method, with fast processing times to ensure you receive your funds quickly.
Up to 90% profit share: You keep up to 90% of the profits you generate in the final challenge phase.
Weekly payouts: Get paid every week as long as you meet the requirements.
No hidden fees: What you earn is what you receive.
Stay disciplined, follow the rules, and turn your challenge skills into real payouts.
Prohibited Challenge Practices
At Plus Markets, we welcome skilled and independent learners who bring their own unique strategies to the table. Our aim is to reward talent and support your journey with allocating opportunities and learnr resources. Most speculative challenge styles are welcome — but any approach that attempts to exploit the system is strictly off-limits and a violation of our Terms and Conditions.
These rules apply at every stage of your journey, from evaluations to allocated accounts.
Below are examples of prohibited practices that breach our policies:
1. Arbitrage Challenge
Exploiting pricing mismatches across brokers or platforms (such as latency arbitrage or cross-broker price discrepancies) is strictly forbidden.
2. High-Frequency Scalping
Excessive use of ultra-short-term challenge, typically lasting just a few seconds, often powered by algorithms or bots.
Example: Taking advantage of a delay or mismatch in asset pricing between two markets to secure risk-free profits.
3. News Bracketing
Placing stop orders on both sides of the price just before major news releases in hopes of catching a sharp move in either direction.
Example: Running systems that open and close hundreds of positions per minute to exploit micro price movements.
4. System Manipulation
Using strategies that intentionally or unintentionally take advantage of pricing errors, platform delays, or quote lags.
Example: Challenge based on a momentary platform glitch that shows incorrect pricing or frozen quotes.
5. Coordinated or Mirrored Challenge
Sharing strategies or copying learns across multiple accounts or among groups of learners to gain an unfair advantage.
Example: Several accounts following the same learn pattern simultaneously to mimic results or manipulate outcomes.
6. One-Sided Betting
Entering learns in only one direction (e.g., always long) without proper market analysis or risk management.
Example: Repeatedly opening long positions on a pair without accounting for market volatility or trend changes.
7. Rollover Scalping with EAs
Using bots to scalp small price movements during the rollover period when liquidity is low.
Example: Running an EA that triggers learns at midnight to take advantage of widening spreads.
8. Shared or Third-Party Expert Advisors
Using EAs purchased from vendors that are widely used by others, especially where the learnr doesn't own or control the source code.
Example: Challenge with a pre-built EA used by hundreds of others that results in identical learns across accounts.
9. Tick Scalping
Opening and closing learns within seconds to capture single-tick price changes.
Example: Rapid learns based solely on tiny price fluctuations with high frequency.
10. Hedge or Reverse Arbitrage
Simultaneously buying and selling the same instrument across different accounts or brokers to exploit momentary inefficiencies.
Example: Hedging in two directions using separate accounts to gain from price divergence.
11. Account Sharing or Resale
Letting someone else learn on your account, or selling access to it, is strictly prohibited.
Example: Selling a allocated account to another learnr in exchange for a fee or shared profits.
12. Managed Account Services or Challenge Passing Services
Allowing someone else to learn your account or complete your evaluation challenge on your behalf.
Example: Hiring a service that guarantees to pass your challenge for a cut of future payouts.
If any of the above activities are detected, your account may be suspended or permanently disabled. Plus Markets reserves the right to terminate your access and withhold any payouts or refunds. Violating these rules results in immediate disqualification from our programs and permanent exclusion from Plus Markets.
Account Inactivity
If your challenge account remains inactive for 30 days, it will be automatically shut down.
To keep your account open, we encourage learners to participate in challenge every week.
If your account is shut down due to inactivity,
you will have to start the challenge process from scratch.
Compliance and Reporting
To maintain transparency and uphold regulatory compliance, all learners at Plus Markets
are required to follow strict guidelines.
Learn reporting: Learners must keep accurate records of all their learns. In cases of significant or unusual challenge activity, learners should be prepared to provide clear explanations to ensure compliance with internal and external oversight.
Adhering to regulatory requirements: Learners must comply with all relevant financial regulations and laws, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols. These measures help prevent fraudulent activity and maintain the integrity of the challenge environment.
This ensures that all challenge activity remains compliant with Plus Markets' standards
and broader regulatory obligations, promoting a secure and transparent challenge experience
for everyone involved.
Key Terms
Allocated Account
This refers to a simulated challenge account through which learners can earn up to 90% of the virtual profits that they make.
Plus Learner
The name given to learners who manage to pass a challenge and unlock a allocated account.
Evaluation Phase
This is the first stage of a challenge challenge where you prove your challenge skills by meeting specific rules, like hitting a profit target and staying within risk limits. If you pass, you move on to the next phase or receive a allocated account, depending on the challenge.
Verification
After passing the Evaluation Phase, you need to meet a second, usually easier, set of rules to confirm your consistency and risk management. Once you pass Verification, you can qualify for a allocated challenge account.
Drawdown
Drawdown is the reduction in your challenge account balance from a peak to a low point due to losses. It shows how much your account has dropped during a losing streak and helps measure risk.
Daily Loss Limit

Consequences of Rule Violations
Non-compliance with Plus Markets' challenge rules can lead to serious consequences.
For minor infractions, learners may receive warnings as an initial response. These warnings serve as formal notices, often accompanied by discussions on necessary corrective actions to prevent future violations.
If a learnr continues to violate the rules or commits a more serious offence, they may face account suspension. This means their challenge privileges will be temporarily revoked, restricting their ability to learn until the issue is resolved.
In cases of persistent non-compliance or severe misconduct, termination of the challenge agreement may occur. This means the learnr will lose their allocated account and no longer be eligible to learn with Plus Markets. Maintaining strict adherence to challenge rules is essential to ensuring a fair and professional environment for all participants.
Adhering to Plus Markets' challenge rules and requirements is essential for fostering a successful challenge career within our firm.
We are dedicated to supporting our learners' growth and ensuring a fair, compliant, and profitable challenge environment.
