5.3. While trading on an “Instant account” during any Calendar Day, the Customer’s account equity shall not decrease more than the account maximum drawdown limit, present in the table below for demonstration purposes, from the initial balance of the account. Breaking the rule will lead to the account closure.
Account Initial Balance | 5,000 | 10,000 | 25,000 | 50,000 | 85,000 | 150,000 |
Maximum Drawdown (10%) | 500 | 1,000 | 2,500 | 5,000 | 8,0500 | 15,000 |
Taking into example an account with initial capital equal to $10,000, if the maximum account balance of the day is $ 12,300, the account equity cannot be lower or equal to $9,900 (when trading on a 10% account model).
5.3.1. Neither the equity nor the account balance may ever fall below the account's maximum total drawdown. For instance, in an account with $100,000 initial capital, neither the equity nor the balance can drop to $90,000 or below.

6.1. The Customer’s entitlement to the Reward and its amount will depend exclusively on the results of the Customer’s demo trading and fulfilment of the parameters set by iFunds for its payment. The Customer acknowledges that the entitlement or the amount of the Reward does not in any way depend on developments in the real financial markets or on the value that the demo trades would have in the real financial markets.

In particular, if the Customer meets all the parameters set out in Clause 5.2, and at the withdrawal review time, the value of the account balance is higher the initial balance, then the Customer will be entitled to the predefined Split percentage (50%) of the excess amount (the “Profit”). For the purposes of determining the Customer’s entitlement to the Reward, only the Customer’s results achieved within the Customer’s demo trades in the iFunds Account will be taken into account.

In such a case, the maturity period of the invoice will be interrupted, and a new maturity period will begin upon the issuance of a corrected invoice. The Customer is responsible for the content of the invoice so issued and must check the accuracy of the data immediately upon receipt of the issued invoice.
6.5.2. In case the Customer revokes the authorisation for iFunds to issue invoices under Clause 6.5.1 by email, the Customer shall issue the invoice itself.
