Good standing is straightforward. UZO does not look for reasons to close accounts, and there are no hidden traps. Three things keep you funded: respecting your risk limits, keeping the account active, and trading the market rather than the platform. Everything below explains exactly what each of those means.

Your funded account carries two drawdown limits, and these are the lines that matter most. Stay on the right side of both at all times and the account remains active.

Because the thresholds differ by product, always read the live figures on your dashboard rather than relying on memory. Your dashboard shows the precise daily and maximum drawdown levels for your specific account, updated in real time.

Your funded account belongs to you alone. Verification is completed by you, in your own name, and you must be the same person shown on your identity documents throughout. One person holds one account. You may not trade an account registered to anyone else, nor hand yours to another person to trade.

Rewards are paid only to a bank account or cryptocurrency wallet held in your own name and matching your verified identity. We do not pay a third party, a company account in a different name, or another person's wallet. Should a name not match, the reward is simply held until it is corrected, and nothing is lost. Keeping the account and its rewards tied to one verified identity is what protects your earnings and keeps every result genuinely yours.

A funded account can be closed regardless of drawdown if you trade in ways that exploit the simulated environment rather than the market. UZO runs on real live prices, and the rules exist to keep every result honest. Examples of prohibited conduct include:

These are examples rather than the complete list. The full set of prohibited strategies is published in our prohibited-strategies article. What they all have in common has nothing to do with being a fast or active trader; it is whether your edge comes from the market or from exploiting how the platform is built. Should an account be reset for using a prohibited strategy, a 50% deduction is applied to the next and all ongoing withdrawals from that same account. Trade the real price action and none of this comes near you.

UZO is deliberately permissive on legitimate trading. You do not need permission to use any of the following, and none of them count against your standing:

There is one soft rule, the Best Day Rule, and it affects withdrawals only, never your account standing. When you request a withdrawal, no single trading day may account for more than 20% of your total net profit in the current reward segment, meaning the profit earned since your last reward. On One Step, Two Step, Instant and Instant Pro the rule can never breach or close an account. If your profit is concentrated in one day, the request is simply held until your results are more evenly spread, after which the withdrawal proceeds. Nothing is lost.

Instant 24h uses the Best Trade Rule instead, where no single trade may exceed 15% of that profit. Because an Instant 24h session closes automatically at the end of its 24 hour window, a single trade above 15% means the account runs to the end of the window and closes with no reward generated, rather than breaching part way through. The purpose of both rules is the same: to keep every reward a reflection of genuine, sustained trading.

On One Step, Instant and Instant Pro the trailing drawdown is built to protect the progress you have already earned. As your account grows, your maximum drawdown floor trails your equity upward, and once your account has grown by the trailing percentage the floor locks at your starting balance. Two Step works differently: it uses a static maximum drawdown that never moves. Instant 24h also trails your equity upward, but its trailing drawdown never locks.

In plain terms, on the locking products, once the floor has locked a difficult run cannot wipe out the progress that has already been secured. It removes the worst-case scenario where a single rough stretch undoes weeks of disciplined trading. The trailing drawdown works automatically in your favour, and there is nothing to switch on.

There is no deadline to reach a target once you are funded, so you may trade at your own pace. The one requirement is that the account is used: place at least one trade within any 35 day period to keep it active. An account left with no activity for 35 days is closed automatically, so if you plan to be away, a single trade before you go keeps everything in good standing.

Should you be uncertain whether an approach is allowed, the safe test is simple: does your edge come from the market, or from the way the platform processes prices? Market-driven strategies are welcome. Anything designed to exploit feed timing or simulation mechanics is not.

When in doubt, ask before you trade it. Reach our team at [email protected] and we will give you a straight answer. We would always rather confirm in advance than see a good account closed over a misunderstanding.
