# Rulebook

> Every rule for the evaluation and the funded account.

> [!NOTE]
>
> OWNIT is in private beta.

## Definitions

| Term | Meaning |
| - | - |
| Balance | Account value from closed trades only. |
| Equity | Balance plus the unrealized P\&L of open positions. Both loss limits are checked on equity. |
| Start-of-day balance | A snapshot of your balance at 00:00 UTC: closed trades only, no unrealized P\&L. The max daily loss floor is measured from it. |
| Floor | The equity level at which a limit is hit. |
| From breach | Distance from your equity to the nearer floor. |
| Breach | Equity touches a floor. Positions close and the account stops trading. |

> [!WARNING]
>
> Both loss limits are measured on equity, not balance. An open loss can breach the account before you close the trade.

## Quick reference

Nothing is abbreviated here. Where a rule is identical in both phases, it is written out in both columns.

| Parameter | Evaluation | Funded |
| - | - | - |
| Account sizes | \$5,000, \$10,000, \$25,000, \$50,000, \$100,000 | The size of the evaluation you passed |
| Profit target | 10% of starting balance, measured on balance | None. There is no profit target on a funded account |
| Max daily loss | 3% of start-of-day balance. Checked on equity, resets 00:00 UTC | 3% of start-of-day balance. Checked on equity, resets 00:00 UTC |
| Max loss | 8% of starting balance. Static, checked on equity | 8% of starting balance. Static, checked on equity |
| Best day | Your best day must be ≤ 50% of the sum of your profitable days before you can claim funding | Your best day must be ≤ 50% of the sum of your profitable days before you can request a payout |
| Leverage | Up to 5x, set per market | Up to 5x, set per market |
| Reward | Not applicable. Evaluation profit is not paid out | 90% of your simulated profit, paid to you in USDC |
| Minimum payout | Not applicable | \$20 of available profit |
| Maximum payout | Not applicable | \$10,000 a day, during private beta |
| Partial payouts | Not applicable | Not available. A payout takes the full available profit, up to the daily cap |
| After a payout | Not applicable | Balance and equity return to the starting balance and the objectives reset with it. Profit above the cap is not carried over |
| Evaluation fee | Paid once, at purchase | Refunded for the first funded account qualifying for a payout |
| Breach | The account ends. Buy a new evaluation to trade again | The account ends. Buy a new evaluation to trade again |
| Time limit | None | None |

Your account's dollar limits are always shown at the top of the trading screen.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Note: For private beta only, profit above the daily cap is not carried over. Request a payout holding \$15,000 of available profit and you receive \$10,000. The account then resets to its starting balance and the remaining \$5,000 is gone: there is no rollover and no buffer. Request before your available profit passes \$10,000.

## Max daily loss

You can lose 3% of your start-of-day balance in one day. The floor is set at 00:00 UTC and holds until the next 00:00 UTC.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The 00:00 UTC snapshot is your **balance**, not your equity. Unrealized P\&L on a position held through midnight is not in it, so it does not move the next day's floor. The floor is then checked against equity for the rest of the day.

[Max daily loss: the floor recut at 00:00 UTC, and From breach](https://app.ownit.xyz/embed/prop-rules/daily-loss?percent=3)

```text Daily floor theme={"system"}
Daily floor = start-of-day balance − 3% × start-of-day balance

$100,000 × 0.97 = $97,000
```

\$100,000 account:

| Day | Balance at 00:00 UTC | Daily floor |
| - | - | - |
| 1 | \$100,000 | \$97,000 |
| 2 | \$98,000 | \$95,060 |
| 3 | \$103,000 | \$99,910 |

* The floor is on equity. An open position at a loss counts.
* The floor moves with your balance: lower after a losing day, higher after a winning one.

## Max loss

You can lose 8% of your starting balance over the whole account. One floor, set at purchase. It does not rise when you profit.

[Max loss: a fixed breach level that does not move with profit](https://app.ownit.xyz/embed/prop-rules/max-drawdown?percent=8)

```text Max floor theme={"system"}
Max floor = starting balance × (1 − 8%)

$100,000 × 0.92 = $92,000
```

Grow the account to \$110,000 and the floor is still \$92,000.

## From breach

From breach is the distance from your equity to whichever floor is nearer. It is the number to watch while a position is open. At zero, the account breaches.

```text From breach theme={"system"}
From breach = equity − nearer floor

Equity         $101,500
Daily floor     $97,000   ← nearer
Max floor       $92,000
From breach      $4,500
```

After three losing days the daily floor can sit below the max floor; then the max floor is the nearer one.

## Profit target

Reach 10% above your starting balance to pass. The target is measured on balance, so only closed trades count. There is no time limit and no minimum number of trading days.

[Profit target: balance against the target line](https://app.ownit.xyz/embed/prop-rules/profit-target?percent=10)

```text Profit target theme={"system"}
Target = starting balance × 1.10

$100,000 × 1.10 = $110,000
```

## Best day

Your single best day may not be more than 50% of the sum of your profitable days. Losing days are not subtracted; they simply do not count. The rule gates claiming a funded account and requesting a payout. It never breaches the account.

[Best day: one account clearing the 50% cap and one still over it](https://app.ownit.xyz/embed/prop-rules/best-day?percent=50)

```text Best day theme={"system"}
Day 1   closed profit   +$10,000
Day 2   closed loss      −$2,000   not counted
Day 3   closed profit    +$6,000

Sum of all profitable days  =  $10,000 + $6,000  =  $16,000
Best day                    =  Day 1, $10,000
Best day share              =  $10,000 of $16,000  =  62.5%
```

Day 1 is the best, representing 62.5% of the realized profit, which is over the 50% cap, so your payout claim is on hold. Your progress is not lost; you need to keep trading until you meet the best day rule.

While Day 1 stays your best day, the sum of your profitable days has to be at least \$20,000 for the rule to be satisfied: another \$4,000 from profitable days. Account size does not enter into it; the rule is a ratio. The readout on the Desk shows where you stand.

## What happens on a breach

1. Open positions are closed.
2. The account stops trading.
3. Positions and history stay readable, so you can review what happened.
4. To trade again, buy a new evaluation.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Breaches are final. There are no resets or appeals. You never owe the loss; the account simply ends.

## What is not restricted

| Rule | On OWNIT |
| - | - |
| Time limit | None |
| Minimum trading days | None |
| Weekend or overnight holding | Allowed |
| Holding time of trades | No limits; scalping and swing trading allowed |
| Stop loss | Not required |
| News trading | Allowed |
| Position size | Capped per market by notional; see Markets |
| Multiple accounts | For private beta, one active evaluation per user |

## Refunds

There are two ways to receive a refund:

| Refund | Condition | Amount | Paid |
| - | - | - | - |
| 14-day | Within 14 days of purchase, no trade placed on that account | Full fee | To the payment source |
| Fee refund | Pass and request your first payout (only for your first payout ever) | Full fee | With the payout, as a separate USDC transfer |

The 14-day refund is per account. An untouched second evaluation still qualifies while you trade the first. Placing a trade ends it; you accept that at checkout.

The fee refund is claimed once, on the first funded account where you qualified for a payout. It does not count against your reward. The fee is held against passing, not spent.
