We would like to emphasize that we do not accept payments made via a third-party card or account. 

All transactions related to assessment purchases and account trading must be conducted in the name of the cardholder.

Provide accurate information: 

Ensure personal details match your government-issued ID. Inaccurate details or missing documents may result in KYC failure. 

Use official documents: 

Submit valid government-issued ID (e.g., Passport, Driver’s License, Residence Permit, ID Card). 

Nigerian traders (Optional): 

Provide Premium NIN and a recent bank statement (dated within 3 months, with address) in PDF format. 

ID authenticity:

Using someone else’s ID or being an underage trader will result in automatic KYC rejection. 

NOTE: 

You cannot change your personal information once you have placed a trade in your challenge account or during the KYC process. To see the documents accepted by Veriff, visit the link below: https://www.veriff.com/supported-countries

Your IP address for your Step 1, Step 2, and Funded account must match the same geographical region to verify you didn’t receive outside assistance. 

If we see that your IP address has changed, we will ask for proof and reasoning of why this has occurred. 

(Proof may involve plane tickets, live location checking through another medium, or another approach that BAT Funding sees fit.)

You can use a VPS or VPN while trading during both the Evaluation Phase and on your Funded Account. However, if our Risk Team detects a change in your IP address region, they will contact you for confirmation and may request proof, such as:

Proof of ownership for the VPS or VPN (e.g., an invoice with your name).

All account holders must adhere to the terms in the Terms & Conditions signed when purchasing a challenge. 

All Customers are responsible for paying taxes applicable to their place of residence.

Cheating: Using The Demo Trader inefficiencies such as High-Frequency Trading, Toxic Trading Order Flow, Long/Short arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, tick scalping, and server execution.

You cannot copy trade from another individual, if found, both users will be breached.

Reverse/ Group Hedging: Using your account to bet in one direction on singular trade against another account, as this is an attempt at reversing the trade of another account for a 100% chance of winning.

Hedging: You cannot exclusively hedge through a challenge or live account.

EA/ Expert Advisor: "EA not permitted" means that a trader is not allowed to use Expert Advisors (EAs) on their simulated account; we have restrictions on using automated trading systems like EAs to maintain control over risk management and ensure traders actively manage their positions.

Relying heavily on EAs could lead to significant losses if the EA strategy malfunctions or encounters unexpected market conditions.

No Manipulation:

Manipulation includes but not limited to:

• Tick Scalping - constantly opening and closing trades in less than 30 seconds.
• Arbitrage.
• Hedging between accounts.
• Delayed or frozen data feeds.
• Unrealistic fills that don't take into account slippage, where a huge lot size is used and closed within a small amount of pips.
• Allowing others to trade your account.
• Copying others trades.
• Taking advantage of the demo environment is also not permitted

Gambling: You cannot gamble your way through a challenge phase, BAT Funding defines gambling as:

• Excessive scalping: Holding 50% or more of your trades for less than a minute.
• All in: Betting in one direction and holding until you pass or fail. This is defined as making one trade with no risk management (not having stop-loss in place or risking more than the drawdown limit), which would either pass or fail the challenge.
• Excessive leverage or concentrating too much risk in a single trading idea.

Examples:

Excessive Scalping:

The Trader is trying to execute trades rapidly, the trader takes a total of 50 trades, 26 of which have been executed in under a 60s hold time. This means a total of more than 50% of trades have been executed in under a 60s hold time and contributes to excessive scalping.

All in: 

A trader opens a one lot position on EUR/USD, they do not put in a SL and the trade runs all the way to passing the challenge in one go. This trade had two outcomes, either passing the challenge or failing the challenge, this does not show trading ability and the trader will not be processed to the funded stage.  

Note: A ‘trade’ can be determined as a position held by the trader on a specific pair. ‘Trade’ may be one or multiple entries with similar timings and lot sizes. A trade could be determined by multiple entries on the same pair at the same time. Trades with vastly smaller lot sizes will NOT count as a trade. If you are found to be gambling, you will not be advanced to the funded stage and offered to retry the challenge.

Excessive leverage:

We allowed layering or martingale strategies, as long as you are using proper risk management.

Yes, you can hold trade overnight and through the weekends with any evaluation and funded accounts.

What is the total duration of the evaluation period?

• The Assessment period does not have any specified time limits imposed on reaching the trading targets for each phase.
• You have the flexibility to take as much time as you need to trade the account, whether it takes you 1 month or 1 year. There is no expiration date for the account.
• It's important to note that there is a 30 day inactivity limit on each account. if there is no activity, such as logging in (successfully, with a proper connection established, the account balance visible, etc.) or trading, for 30 consecutive days, the account will be automatically deactivated and closed. Please note, once the account is deactivated, this process cannot be reversed and the account will remain closed. If you plan to not log into the account for 30 days or more, please notify our team at support@batfunding.com, and they will assist you with this.

Please note that all accounts in all steps (including Funded accounts) will be limited to a 30-day inactivity period.

This means that if a BAT Funding Trader does not log into their account (successfully, with a proper connection established, the account balance visible, etc.) for more than 30 consecutive days, the account will be deactivated. Please note that once the account is deactivated, this process cannot be reversed, and the account will remain closed.

We don’t have maximum lot size rule, you can open as much as your margin allows, as long as you are using proper risk management.

The BAT Funding dashboard is the central hub to manage your trading account. It provides the insights and metrics essential for monitoring your performance and making informed trading decisions. From tracking your account balance and equity to viewing daily summaries and profit factors, the dashboard is the key interface for maintaining control over your trades.

It’s not uncommon for there to be delays in the reflection of trades on your dashboard history. Please do not worry—this should be updated in due time. In the meantime, rest assured that the balance, trading objective, and equity sections on your dashboard should be correct and updated.

The account statistics displayed are automatically updated periodically, reflecting active trades. If you notice any discrepancies, please allow a little time for the data to sync.

IMPORTANT:

Real-time trading updates are available on the trading platform. The dashboard is for informational purposes only and is not a real-time representation of your trading performance. We suggest checking the trading platform for the latest updates and using the dashboard as a guide to monitor your overall trading performance.

At BAT Funding, your trading journey is your own. We provide the platform and resources, but ultimately, the success or failure of your trades rests in your hands.

Here are some key points to remember about your responsibilities as a trader:

1.⁠ ⁠Account Management:

You are in control: You are solely responsible for managing your account activity, credentials, and overall trading decisions.

One and only: Only you are authorized to enter positions on your account. Sharing your login information with anyone is strictly prohibited.

Data breaches: Should your email or dashboard be compromised due to a data breach on your end, BAT Funding cannot be held liable. Remember, safeguarding your credentials is crucial.

2.⁠ ⁠Simulated funds, real responsibility:

Practice makes perfect: While you're trading with simulated funds, the responsibility for your actions remains real. Treat it as a live environment and hone your skills with diligence.

Own your choices: Take full accountability for all actions taken on your account. Every trade, every decision, is yours to make and learn from.

BAT Funding is not liable: We are not responsible for any losses incurred due to breaches, user errors, or client-side issues. Trade with caution and awareness.
