The short answer
Your funded account runs on the same rules as your evaluation. The drawdown mechanics, the allowed strategies, the prohibited behaviour: all identical. Nothing tightens, nothing shifts against you. What changes is that your performance now earns real rewards, paid to you at a profit split of 90%, the same on every product and at every account size.
It is a fair question to ask. The purpose of an evaluation is to show you can trade within a defined set of rules, so it would make no sense to change those rules the moment you succeed. The rules you traded against are the rules you keep, and now they pay.
What carries over unchanged from the evaluation
Whatever rules governed your evaluation are the rules that govern your funded account. The mechanics you learned do not reset.
The same drawdown mechanics, including how your daily and maximum drawdown are measured and when they reset.
The same allowed behaviour: expert advisors, bots and algorithms, custom indicators, news trading, and holding overnight and over the weekend where your product permits it. Expert advisors and copy trading are welcome on accounts you personally own, provided each account runs your own distinctive settings rather than an identical copied configuration.
The same prohibited behaviour, with no new restrictions layered on.
The same leverage of 1:100, across all six markets: forex, metals, crypto, indices, shares and energies.
The same soft Best Day Rule: for a withdrawal, no single trading day may account for more than 20% of your total net profit since your last reward. On Instant 24h this is the Best Trade Rule, where no single trade may account for more than 15%. Exactly 20% (or 15%) is allowed, only above that is held. On the challenge and instant products it never breaches your account, it only delays a withdrawal until your profit is more evenly distributed. On Instant 24h, breaking the 15% limit means the account runs to the end of its 24 hour window and closes with no reward.
Your exact drawdown numbers depend on the product you bought, and they are the same numbers shown on your dashboard during the evaluation. Drawdown is measured on your equity, including any open or floating profit and loss, and your daily limit resets at 00:00 UTC. See your dashboard for the live figures tied to your account.
What the profit split means on a funded account
Once funded, the rewards your strategy generates are shared, and you keep 90%. UZO keeps 10%. This is the same on every product, One Step, Two Step, Instant, Instant Pro and Instant 24h alike, and it is one of the most generous shares available anywhere. Your split is fixed in writing and does not change with your account size. A $5,000 account and a $1,000,000 account split on exactly the same terms.
90/10, the same everywhere
You keep 90% of your profit on every product and at every account size, with no tiers and no fine print that erodes it. On the One Step and Two Step challenges, 100% of your evaluation fee is returned to you with your third reward.
Rewards are designed to be fast: 95% of rewards are approved in 2 to 3 hours, and paid in about 12 hours, by bank transfer or crypto. Your identity verification (KYC, through our identity-verification partner) is completed before your funded account is activated, immediately after you pass your evaluation. Rewards are paid only to a bank account or crypto wallet held in your own name and matching your verified identity, so it is worth making sure your details are correct in advance.
It is still simulated: what that means for your rewards
A funded UZO account is still a simulated (Syn-Fi) account. You trade against real, live market prices, but on simulated capital. No live capital is ever at risk in the market.
The rewards, however, are real. Your performance on the simulated account determines a real cash reward that is paid to you. "Funded" describes the rules and the rewards, not a brokerage account holding your money in the live market. This structure is what lets us offer large account sizes and fast rewards while keeping your downside at zero.
Who you are contracting with (the two entities)
When you accept the funded account agreement, you are contracting with real, identifiable companies.
Entity | Role |
EonStrategy L.L.C-FZ (UAE, licence 2204298.01) | Principal operator and your counterparty under the agreement |
UZO LTD (Saint Lucia) | Operator of the MetaTrader 5 simulation platform |
EonStrategy L.L.C-FZ is the principal you contract with and the party responsible for your rewards. UZO LTD operates the MetaTrader 5 simulation environment (note that MetaTrader 5 is not available to users in the United States; TradeLocker remains available). Both entities are named in your agreement.
What is still prohibited
The conduct rules do not relax once you are funded. The following remain prohibited because they exploit the simulation rather than reflect genuine trading skill:
Latency arbitrage and high-frequency (HFT) arbitrage.
Tick-exploit and tick-scalping techniques.
Any method that games the simulation rather than trading the real prices on offer.
Everything that was allowed on your evaluation stays allowed. We do not add hidden conditions at the funded stage. If a strategy passed your evaluation cleanly, it is welcome on your funded account.
Where to read the full terms
The complete and binding terms live in your account agreement and UZO's published legal documents, which set out the rules, the split, the entities, and the simulated nature of the product in full. If anything here ever appears to conflict with those documents, the agreement governs. Questions about your specific account can go to [email protected].
