Shark Funded $5K Instant Bolt Account Rules
Exact dollar thresholds, breach math, and verified sources for this tier.
All-In Cost to First Payout
Sticker price vs real cost — All-In Quantitative Fee Model
If you pass first try
Assumes pass on first attempt. Add 1–2 resets for realistic avg (FPFX: only 7% get payout).
Realistic (1 reset avg)
Non-refundable — every reset is sunk cost
Assumes 1 reset(s). Data fees vary by platform. FPFX base rate: ~7% ever get payout — budget for resets.
Methodology: challenge + resets + activation + data + add-ons − documented refund. Futures add $38/mo data + $149 activation where applicable. We never hide reset cost behind “bonus” language.
RISK ANALYSIS
How Can I Fail This Account?
Before spending capital on this evaluation, these are the exact mathematical and operational tripwires that disqualify traders on this specific model.
Daily Loss at 00:00 Rollover
Daily loss is calculated against your day-starting balance/equity. Holding floating drawdown into the 00:00 server reset can breach on spread widening alone.
14-Day Inactivity Forfeiture
14 consecutive days without a trade = automatic lock and revoked credentials. Many pass the evaluation and pause before the next step, losing all progress.
Withdrawal Gates Bite After Passing
Only after a minimum 24-hour period from the first executed trade; minimum 1% of account size per request; account above starting balance; payout must fit inside the daily-drawdown equity cushion. Avoid trading after requesting payout.
Banned Patterns Pass Silently, Fail at Payout
Grid, martingale, all-in sizing, copied signals, and cross-account hedging often trigger no dashboard warning during evaluation — the review lands when you request real money.
COMPLETE RULEBOOK
Every Rule on This Account
Daily drawdown, max drawdown, targets, trading days, payouts, news, holding, automation, inactivity — each rule translated to this 5,000 account's exact dollar numbers.
Daily Loss Limit: 3% ($150/day)
Your daily allowance is fixed off the starting balance and counts open + closed P&L. It resets at 0:00 server time. Intraday profits temporarily widen the buffer, but the base never changes — lose the full allowance in 24 hours and the account is terminated on the spot.
Maximum Loss: 4% (floor starts at $4,800)
Static: the floor is set once from your starting balance and never moves — profits never drag it up behind you. Across the whole lifetime of the account, equity can never print below the current floor.
No Profit Target
This account is funded from day one — there is nothing to pass. Your only job is protecting the trailing maximum while growing toward an on-demand withdrawal.
No Minimum Trading Days
Hit the target in a single session and you pass — no forced grinding. Discipline still applies: every other rule (drawdown, consistency where active, strategy bans) is fully enforced on that one day.
Payouts: Every 24 hours · 70% split
Only after a minimum 24-hour period from the first executed trade; minimum 1% of account size per request; account above starting balance; payout must fit inside the daily-drawdown equity cushion. Avoid trading after requesting payout.. Your share of every approved withdrawal is 70%.
News Trading: Restricted
Funded: no open/close within 10 min before or after news (20-min window, all order types); 5-hour-old swings exempt.
Flat Before Close — No Overnight, No Weekend
Every position must be closed before the market close. Being in a trade past the close is itself a rule violation — independent of profit or loss. Swing strategies built for CFD holding will breach here by habit, not by P&L.
Expert Advisors / Bots: Not Allowed
Manual trading only. Any EA, bot, or automation layer is prohibited on this account.
Copy Trading & Hedging Boundaries
Copy trading involving a funded account (either direction), third-party signals, and for-hire account management are prohibited. Cross-account and correlated-instrument hedging are banned.
Inactivity: 14 Days
Place at least one trade every 14 consecutive days or the account is automatically deactivated — no warning email, no extension. This kills more passed evaluations than any market move: traders pass, take a break, and return to revoked credentials.
Consistency Rule Active
None stated for Bolt.
Markets, Leverage & Platforms
Trade Unknown. Leverage: Unknown — verify before purchase. Platforms: To be verified.
