What is a Soft Breach?
A soft breach refers to a situation where you violate certain rules or regulations, but instead of losing your account entirely, only the specific trades that broke the rules are removed. Your account remains active, and you retain the remaining balance and progress. This type of breach allows you to continue trading with your account intact, despite the rule violations.
What is a Hard Breach?
A hard breach occurs when a significant violation of the rules or terms of service results in the complete loss of your account. This means that any funds you had, whether from funded accounts or challenges, are forfeited, and your account balance is reset to zero. In essence, all progress and profit are lost, and you will need to start from scratch.
How can I tell if a rule is categorized as Soft or Hard Breach?
The categorization of a breach as Soft or Hard is explicitly stated in the specific rule.
Most of the time, the words "Soft Breach" and "Hard Breach" are used. However, other words, such as terms or phrases that indicate the severity of the breach, can also be used.
For instance:
Soft Breach might be described with terms like "trade is being removed," indicating a less critical issue.
Hard Breach might be described with terms like "loss of funded accounts," indicating a more serious impact
Payout after hard breach
If your account is breached, it will no longer be eligible for a payout. The account will be terminated and any simulated profits will be lost.
