Common questions
Why do prop firms have drawdown limits?
Not because anyone is losing money in a market. Maven says so itself, in bold, at the top of its own Terms and Conditions: “all accounts provided to our clients are demo accounts with simulated funds, and all trading activities are conducted in a simulated trading environment”. Its Risk Disclosure repeats that the environment “does not involve real money trading”. A falling balance is a number moving in a platform, not a loss taken in the market.
What is real is the money either side of it: the fee paid for the account, and the payout made on simulated profit. A maximum loss is the point at which that arrangement ends. It is what lets an account be sold for a fixed fee against a payout obligation that would otherwise have no defined end, which is why every firm in the sector operates one and why the figures cluster in the same range.
Maven documents the mechanics of its own limits better than most. Its FAQ names four distinct drawdown types, static, equity based, balance based and trailing, and works the arithmetic for each on a $1,000 account. That is genuinely useful and worth reading before you buy, because the four products in its Terms and the four that are not use different combinations of them.
Which company are you actually contracting with?
Maven publishes two different companies, with two different registration numbers, at the same Dubai address, and does not explain the relationship between them. The Terms and Conditions open by naming the vendor as “MAVEN LLC”, registration “105072496000001”, regulatory authority “DIEZ”, at “DSO-IFZA, IFZA Properties, Dubai, Silicon Oasis”.
The footer that appears on every page of the site, including that one, names a different entity: “Maven Edu – FZCO is a registered limited corporation in United Arab Emirates, DSO-IFZA, IFZA Properties, Dubai Silicon Oasis with the registration number 006-0060823-070425”. Different name, different legal form, different number, same address.
Two further names appear on the firm’s own legal pages. The AML policy is written throughout in the name of “MAVEN EDU”, and the Risk Disclosure in the name of “Maven-EDU”. Neither mentions MAVEN LLC. Meanwhile the firm’s own LinkedIn page gives its headquarters as Castries, Saint Lucia, and Saint Lucia appears on Maven’s own restricted-countries list in the site footer.
We treat MAVEN LLC as the operative contracting party, because it is named in the substantive text of the agreement you accept rather than in a footer disclaimer. That is our reading, not Maven’s stated position, because Maven has not published one. We could not verify either registration number against a public register: IFZA and the DIEZ free zone do not publish a free company search, and the UAE federal register we tried did not resolve.
Can you use an expert advisor at Maven Trading?
The Terms and Conditions answer this twice, in the same clause, and the two answers cannot both be right. Clause 4 first says automation is conditionally allowed: “Using Expert Advisors (EAs), bots, or other automated systems is prohibited unless you have received prior approval from us”. Nine bullets later, in the same list, it says the opposite: “EA: EAs are not permitted under any circumstances across all our platforms”.
Maven’s FAQ reproduces only the second version. On the published record the safe reading is therefore that no expert advisor is permitted on any account, and a trader who obtains what looks like approval under the first sentence is still exposed to the second.
This matters more than most drafting slips because the consequence attached to the clause is termination. It sits alongside a separate hedging rule that assumes advisors are in use at all: “If we see your account is exclusively hedging, we will ask you to provide the EA you have used (if applicable)”.
Can you trade the news at Maven Trading?
It depends which document you read, and the two disagree in the direction that costs a trader an account. The Terms and Conditions state the restriction for everyone: “For all accounts, you may not place new trades or close existing trades within 2 minutes before or after ‘Red Folder’ news events listed on Forex Factory”.
The FAQ contradicts that for at least three products. It states plainly that “The News rule does not apply to our instant accounts”. The Omo Two-Step page says “News trading is fully permitted during Phase 1 and Phase 2 with no restrictions”, with funded-stage profit from a news event capped at 0.50% of balance. The Buy Now, Pay Later page says news trading is “fully permitted during the evaluation with no restrictions”.
On the products where the restriction does apply, it is strict and unusually well documented. The two-minute window catches a take-profit filling inside it, and the FAQ is explicit that this includes trades opened long before the release: “If you have any trade that generates profit in this news window you will not pass the challenge”. Maven then publishes a currency-by-currency list of which releases count for which instruments, which is more detail than most firms give.
How much can you actually withdraw?
$10,000 per rolling 30 days, per trader rather than per account, and anything above it is voided rather than carried forward. Maven publishes the rule in its FAQ under the heading “Overflow”: “You are entitled to a maximum withdrawal of $10,000 per 30-day rolling cycle (per trader). If you profit more than $10,000, you will be given the maximum of $10,000. If you are trading on multiple accounts, your accounts will be treated as the same account… Any profits generated over the $10,000 limit will be voided.”
Two further gates sit on the same page. Once total profit passes $5,000, no single trading day or single trade idea may account for more than 50% of the profit in that payout cycle, and anything above the 50% mark is “contracted” back to it. Past $5,000 in payouts a risk interview with an analyst becomes mandatory: one cancellation is allowed, a second means “your payout will not be processed”.
And after each payout, “Your account will be reset to the starting balance after receiving the profit split”. Whether the $10,000 ceiling moves as an account is scaled is the one thing the page does not settle: two consecutive sentences in the scaling answer read “The max withdrawal cap scales alongside with the scaling plan” and then “The max withdrawal does not scale along”. We publish both rather than choosing.
What is Maven’s published withdrawal success rate?
Maven publishes a figure on this that we have not seen another firm in this sector publish at all. Its Risk Disclosure states: “We would like to inform our clients that the likelihood of successfully executing a withdrawal in our simulation is less than 2.5% per transaction, highlighting the challenging nature of trading activities.”
The firm does not define the denominator, so the sentence can be read more than one way, and we are not going to pick one on its behalf. Read as the share of purchased accounts that reach a paid withdrawal, a low single-digit figure is unremarkable for this sector and the disclosure is simply more candid than the norm. Read literally as a per-transaction success rate, it says something else entirely.
What is not ambiguous is where it sits. This sentence is on a legal page linked from the footer, while the firm’s Instagram biography reads “World’s FASTEST payouts!” and its FAQ says Maven is “focused on fast payouts”. Both are Maven’s own words. We record the figure because it is published, sourced and material, and we flag that it is unexplained rather than treating it as settled.
Which of Maven’s products does its contract actually cover?
Four of eight, and the contract miscounts its own list. Clause 3 of the Terms and Conditions says “We have five distinct account types” and then describes four: the Two-Step, One-Step, Instant and Three-Step programmes. The checkout sells eight: those four plus Mini, the Omo Two-Step, Buy Now Pay Later, and Prediction Markets in two tiers.
The Terms carry “Last Amended: 22/10/2025”, which is close to eleven months before the date this page was checked. Every rule for the four uncovered products, including the M2 Account Saver that can permanently halve a profit split, exists only in the FAQ. Nothing in the FAQ carries a date or a version.
The consequence is ordinary rather than dramatic, and it is the same one we record for every firm that holds its rules in several places: a trader on the Omo or the Mini is bound by a contract that does not describe the product they bought, and the only description that does is one the firm can change without notice or record. Rules that live in one dated place are the fix, and it is a cheap one.
Who you are contracting with, and which document binds
Maven holds its rules in three places: a Terms and Conditions last amended on 22 October 2025, a large undated FAQ, and the product pages. Where they disagree, this page gives every position with its source rather than picking one silently. That is not a criticism of the firm, it is what the published record says.
The documents
Verified 6 September 2026The Terms and Conditions name the vendor in their own opening clause:
Vendor Name: MAVEN LLC. Registration: 105072496000001. Regulatory Authority: DIEZ. Address: DSO-IFZA, IFZA Properties, Dubai, Silicon Oasis, Dubai.
The site-wide footer, which appears on that same page, names a different company: “Maven Edu – FZCO is a registered limited corporation in United Arab Emirates, DSO-IFZA, IFZA Properties, Dubai Silicon Oasis with the registration number 006-0060823-070425”. The AML policy is written in the name of “MAVEN EDU” and the Risk Disclosure in the name of “Maven-EDU”. Neither mentions MAVEN LLC.
Nothing on the site explains whether these are one company, a parent and a subsidiary, or something else. We treat MAVEN LLC as the operative contracting party because it is named in the substantive agreement text rather than a footer disclaimer, but that is our inference and the firm has published no position on it. Neither registration number could be verified: IFZA and DIEZ publish no free public company search.

The Terms list “Regulatory Authority: DIEZ”. DIEZ, Dubai Integrated Economic Zones, is the free-zone authority that issues the trade licence, not a financial regulator, and the same document is clear that no regulated service is being sold: “No part of the services we provide should be interpreted as an investment service under UAE or international law… we do not accept customer funds or deliver regulated financial services.”
That disclosure is to Maven’s credit and more explicit than several firms manage. Sitting beside it, less happily, is a claim the same clause makes: “Our operations are fully compliant with UAE financial regulations and relevant DIFC/DMCC/ADGM requirements.” DIFC, DMCC and ADGM are three separate free zones, none of them DIEZ, each with its own regime. No basis for that claim is given.
The AML policy describes the firm as a Designated Non-Financial Business or Profession and commits to reporting suspicious activity “to the relevant DIEZ Freezone authority”, which is consistent with a trade licence rather than a financial one.

Clause 12 puts the agreement under “UAE law and the specific laws of the DIEZ Freezone”, with a four-step escalation: informal resolution within 30 days, UAE-approved mediation, binding arbitration under UAE Arbitration Law, then the courts.
The venue is named twice, both times as “the courts in Al ‘Ulan, UAE”, which is not a place name we can match to any UAE emirate or city. We record the wording as published rather than correcting it to a plausible alternative, because guessing which court a jurisdiction clause means is exactly the thing a trader should not have to do.

The Terms carry “Last Amended: 22/10/2025”. Clause 3 states “We have five distinct account types” and then describes four: Two-Step, One-Step, Instant and Three-Step. Maven’s checkout currently sells eight configurations, adding Mini, the Omo Two-Step, Buy Now Pay Later, and Prediction Markets in Essential and Elite tiers.
The four products the contract does not describe are governed only by FAQ entries, none of which carries a date, a version or a change record. Clause 16 reserves the right to “modify these Terms at our sole discretion”, with continued use taken as acceptance.

Conduct and strategy
Verified 6 September 2026Clause 4 lists the practices that end an account. Most of them name a specific, well-documented abuse pattern rather than an ordinary way of trading, and are worth reading as such:
- Account sharing, and copy trading from another individual, where “both users will be breached”
- Reverse or group hedging, defined as betting one account against another on a single trade “for a 100% chance of winning”
- Exclusive hedging within an account, aimed at hedging bots the simulated environment cannot mirror to a live server
- Grid and gap trading, “prohibited across all challenge and funded accounts”
- Latency arbitrage, tick scalping, high-frequency trading and server flooding
- Traders associated with other proprietary trading firms
- “Gamifying”, defined as risking a large percentage on single bets at a risk-to-reward ratio of 1:1.25 or lower
Two of the definitions are objective in a way this sector often avoids. Excessive scalping is “holding 50% or more of your trades for less than a minute”, with a worked example. “All in” is one trade with no stop loss, or a stop placed beyond the drawdown limit, that would either pass or fail the challenge outright. A trader can measure themselves against both before the fact, which is the test that matters.
The published consequence is termination, and for gambling specifically, being “offered to retry the challenge” rather than progressing to funded.

Clause 4 states the rule twice, and the two statements are incompatible. First, conditional permission:
Automated Trading: Using Expert Advisors (EAs), bots, or other automated systems is prohibited unless you have received prior approval from us.
Then, nine bullets later in the same list, an absolute ban:
EA: EAs are not permitted under any circumstances across all our platforms.
The FAQ reproduces only the second. The safe reading is that no expert advisor is permitted anywhere, and that a trader relying on the approval route in the first sentence has no protection from the second. Both sentences carry termination as the consequence.
Source: Terms and Conditions, modified 22 October 2025 · Maven Trading FAQ
Clause 5 reserves a discretionary power to change a live account’s risk limit and then breach it on the new one:
If we notice excessive trading on your account without appropriate risk management, we may limit your trading to 1% risk, whereby if ever your account equity drops beneath 1% of your account balance, this will breach the account. We have the discretion to do this at any point within your trading journey.
The FAQ frames it more narrowly and adds a notification step: “This rule is applied to only a small minority of traders… Unless you receive a notification, you are free to trade as usual and are not risk limited. If you do risk over the amount stated in your email, your account will be breached.”
Two things about it are worth stating plainly. It is a rule a trader cannot price before buying, because whether it applies is decided later and by the firm. And as drafted in the Terms it is ambiguous: equity dropping “beneath 1% of your account balance” literally describes a 99% loss, where the FAQ’s worked examples elsewhere use the same phrasing to mean a 1% floating loss. We publish the wording as written.

Clause 14, headed Confidentiality, ends with an obligation that is not about confidential information at all:
You agree also not to defame Maven LLC on social media and review sites, doing this will lead to account termination and further action when necessary.
The same clause treats “all communication with MAVEN users, including emails, platform messages, and support interactions” as strictly confidential. Neither sentence defines who decides what counts as defamatory, and taken at face value the wording reaches a trader posting a true but negative account of their own experience. We found no example of it being enforced against a named reviewer, and we also found no published limit on how it could be used.
It is worth reading next to two other published facts rather than on its own: Trustpilot has suppressed Maven’s rating for a breach of its guidelines and states that it removed fake reviews from the listing, and Maven’s last replies on that platform, dated 14 July 2026, direct reviewers to Feefo instead.

Payouts, eligibility and the trading environment
Almost everything in this part is published in the FAQ rather than in the Terms and Conditions. That includes the withdrawal ceiling, the consistency gates and the mandatory risk interview, which are the three rules most likely to decide what a profitable trader is actually paid.
Payouts, caps and gates
Verified 6 September 2026Published in the FAQ under the heading “Overflow”, and not in the Terms:
You are entitled to a maximum withdrawal of $10,000 per 30-day rolling cycle (per trader). If you profit more than $10,000, you will be given the maximum of $10,000. If you are trading on multiple accounts, your accounts will be treated as the same account. Your account will be reset to the starting balance after receiving the profit split. The $10,000 is calculated from the date on which you close the profit on the account. Any profits generated over the $10,000 limit will be voided.
Three separate things are happening in that paragraph, and each one binds independently. The cap is per trader rather than per account, so buying more accounts does not raise it. Profit above the cap is voided rather than rolled forward. And the account resets to its starting balance after every payout, so nothing above the starting figure survives a withdrawal.
Whether the ceiling rises with a scaled account is unresolved on Maven’s own page: see the scaling entry below.
Source: Maven Trading FAQ
A second gate opens once cumulative profit passes $5,000. From the same FAQ answer: “your best trading day… or singular trade… may not exceed 50% of your profit in the funded stage payout cycle. If you do exceed the 50%, the profits made will be contracted to the 50% mark.”
Maven works the arithmetic itself. On a $100,000 account making $5,000 on day one and $3,000 on day two, the withdrawable figure before split is $6,000, not $8,000, because the best day is capped at half the total. A single $10,000 trade yields $5,000. The published alternative is to keep trading until no day exceeds half the total, which is the same shape as a consistency rule but applied to money rather than eligibility.
A “trade” is defined for this purpose as multiple entries opened at the same time on the same pair, and a “day” as the gap between two trades where less than 24 hours separates closing one and opening the next.
Source: Maven Trading FAQ
“After exceeding $5,000 in payouts, you must participate in a risk interview with one of our analysts.” One cancellation is allowed and the rescheduled interview is compulsory: “If you fail to attend and participate in your interview, your payout will not be processed.” The booking window is two weeks from the invitation.
Below $5,000, interviews “may be conducted randomly or at Maven’s discretion”. Clause 10 of the Terms confirms the firm “may also conduct risk interviews” without setting a threshold. A verification step of this kind is a reasonable anti-abuse measure and several firms run one. It is worth knowing that it exists, when it triggers, and that a missed rescheduled slot stops a payout that has otherwise been earned.
Source: Maven Trading FAQ · Terms and Conditions, modified 22 October 2025
“You can request a withdrawal every 10 business days after your first trade” on the standard programmes, with the Mini and Buy Now Pay Later products on their own cycles described in the table below.
Methods are direct bank transfer or Rise, with availability set by country. Traders in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana may use direct bank transfer; a long list of other territories, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and France, is restricted to Rise. Payments via Rise “incur a $20 withdrawal fee”.
The evaluation fee is credited back, and the firm publishes this two ways. The FAQ says “A full refund will be issued on the third withdrawal on your account”, and the product cards carry the badge “Refundable on the third withdrawal”. Clause 6 agrees: fees are “nonrefundable except after receiving three payouts”. Clause 1 of the same document states the flat position that “once a payment is made, a refund cannot be issued”, without the exception. This is a fee credit on reaching a payout milestone rather than a right to a refund, which is how the mechanic works across most of this sector.
Source: Maven Trading FAQ · Terms and Conditions, modified 22 October 2025 · Two-Step challenge page
The published route is 10% profit over four months, an average of 2.5% a month, with at least one payout processed each month, rewarded with a 25% account increase. It is repeatable to $1,000,000. Starting capital on funded accounts is capped at $200,000 across a trader’s accounts before scaling.
The answer then ends with two consecutive sentences that cancel each other out: “The max withdrawal cap scales alongside with the scaling plan. The max withdrawal does not scale along.”
We publish both. This is the single most consequential unresolved figure on the page, because on a scaled account it decides whether the $10,000 ceiling is a floor on ambition or a formality.
Source: Maven Trading FAQ
A trader who has held and lost a funded account can buy it back without re-running a challenge, at a published price: $200 on a $2,000 account, $400 on $5,000, $750 on $10,000, $1,400 on $20,000, $3,500 on $50,000 and $6,000 on $100,000.
Set against the list price of the corresponding challenge, the buyback costs several times more than a fresh evaluation on every size. It buys immediacy rather than value, and the FAQ does not compare the two.

Eligibility, verification and territories
Verified 6 September 2026Verification is run through Veriff at the point a payout is requested, and Maven attaches two conditions that catch people out later rather than at signup:
- “You can only use one email for one person throughout your Maven journey”, and multiple accounts must be bought on that same email or “you will not make it through the KYC process”
- “The card you use must be your card, the use of someone else’s card will result in a breach when you come to do KYC”
- “You cannot change your personal information once you have placed a trade in your challenge account or during the KYC process”
- Nigerian traders may verify with a selfie and an NIN number instead of the standard document set
Clause 2 of the Terms adds source-of-funds verification and enhanced due diligence for “high-risk profiles”, and states that transactions made without verification “are considered invalid”.
Source: Maven Trading FAQ · Terms and Conditions, modified 22 October 2025
“Your IP address throughout your Maven journey 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.” The published examples of acceptable proof are “plane tickets, live location checking through another medium, or another approach that Maven sees fit”.
The purpose is clear enough, since account-passing services are a real and widespread problem in this sector. It is worth knowing before you travel, and the standard of proof is set by the firm rather than defined.
Source: Maven Trading FAQ
“Each person is allowed to register only once. Creating multiple accounts with different email addresses is strictly prohibited.” Multiple challenges are permitted on the one account, and funded starting capital is capped at $200,000 across them, scalable to $1,000,000.

Saint Lucia is on that list, and is also the location Maven’s own LinkedIn company page gives as its headquarters, and the country shown on its Trustpilot profile. Both facts are published by the firm; we record them together without drawing a conclusion from the pair.

Stated in capitals at the top of the Terms, and the reason the drawdown answer at the top of this page is framed the way it is:
A CRITICAL NOTICE: It is important to understand that all accounts provided to our clients are demo accounts with simulated funds, and all trading activities are conducted in a simulated trading environment.
The Risk Disclosure repeats it and adds that the simulation may differ from live markets in “market liquidity, execution timing, and the absence of financial risk”. This is the sector norm rather than anything particular to Maven, and Maven states it more plainly than several firms do. The FAQ carries one line that reads against it: “You trade, and we cover the losses.” There are no losses to cover on a demo account, and the phrase is marketing rather than a term.

Rules by product
Eight live configurations as sold on Maven’s checkout on 6 September 2026. The first four are the ones the Terms and Conditions describe; the last four exist only in the FAQ. Prediction Markets is a different instrument class from the rest, event contracts rather than CFDs, and is included here because Maven sells it under the same brand and the same Terms; none of the CFD rules should be read across to it. Figures shown are structural rules, not price: pricing goes stale and belongs on our Firm Offers page, not here, so it is not reproduced. Percentages are of the initial balance unless the row says otherwise.
| Rule | Two-Step | One-Step | Three-Step | Instant | Mini | Omo Two-Step | Buy Now, Pay Later | Prediction Markets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation phases | 2 | 1 | 3 | 0, funded from purchase | 0, funded from purchase | 2 | 1, with the balance of the fee paid after passing and before the funded stage opens | 1 |
| Profit target | 8% in phase 1, then 5% in phase 2 | 8% | 3% in each of the three phases | None. 3% profit is required before a payout | None. 3% profit is required before a payout | 6% in phase 1, then 8% in phase 2 | 4% in the evaluation. None once funded | 9%. No profit target on the funded stage |
| Maximum loss | 8% | 5% | 3% | 3% | 3% | 8% | 10% in the evaluation, 8% once funded | Published two ways. The FAQ gives 3% on Essential and 5% on Elite; the product cards give 5% in phase 1 and 8% funded for both tiers. See the note below the table |
| How the maximum loss is measured | Static, fixed at 8% of the initial balance | Trailing from the highest equity point reached | Static, fixed at 3% of the initial balance | Trailing from the highest equity point reached. Maven’s own worked example: an account taken to $10,350 breaches below $10,039.50 | Trailing, and Maven states it does not reset: the drawdown is active throughout the account | Static, calculated from the starting balance and applied across both phases and the funded stage | Static from the starting balance in the evaluation; trailing from the highest floating equity once funded | Trailing on Essential and static on Elite per the FAQ; the product cards state neither. See the note below the table |
| Daily loss limit | 4%, taken from the higher of equity or balance at 00:00 UTC | 3%, taken from the higher of equity or balance at 00:00 UTC | 2%, taken from the higher of equity or balance at 00:00 UTC | 2%, taken from the higher of equity or balance at 00:00 UTC | 2%, taken from the higher of equity or balance at 00:00 UTC | 4%, measured end of day and reset at 00:00 UTC on the higher of balance or equity | None in the evaluation. 4% once funded, measured end of day and reset at 00:00 UTC | None |
| Minimum profitable days | 3 profitable days of 0.5% in each phase, and again on the funded account before a withdrawal | Not published | Not published | Not published | None. The account runs for 24 hours | 4 profitable days of 0.5% in each phase, including the funded stage | None, in the evaluation or once funded | None |
| Minimum hold time | None published, though holding 50% or more of your trades for under a minute is prohibited firm-wide as excessive scalping | None published, though holding 50% or more of your trades for under a minute is prohibited firm-wide as excessive scalping | None published, though holding 50% or more of your trades for under a minute is prohibited firm-wide as excessive scalping | None published, though holding 50% or more of your trades for under a minute is prohibited firm-wide as excessive scalping | 150 seconds. Trades held for less do not count towards profits, and only one position may be open at a time | 150 seconds. Trades closed sooner do not count towards progress, including at the funded stage | None published, though holding 50% or more of your trades for under a minute is prohibited firm-wide as excessive scalping | None published, though holding 50% or more of your trades for under a minute is prohibited firm-wide as excessive scalping |
| Cap on open risk | None published | None published | None published | 1%. The FAQ measures it as total open floating loss, so a $10,000 account breaches if equity touches $9,900; the Terms describe the same rule as a 1% maximum risk per trade | 1% of balance in open floating loss, and one position at a time | None published. The M2 Account Saver closes all open positions at 2% open drawdown | None published.

Notes on the table
Maven’s Prediction Markets FAQ says the two tiers differ only in their drawdown model: “One-Step Essential uses Trailing Drawdown with a 3% max drawdown. One-Step Elite uses Static Drawdown with a 5% max drawdown.”
The product cards on the same page state something different, and state it identically for both tiers: “Max loss Phase 1 5%, Funded 8%”. So the FAQ gives Essential a 3% trailing floor while the card selling it gives 5%, and neither mentions the other’s funded figure.
On a $5,000 account that is the difference between a $150 floor and a $250 one, decided by which half of one page a buyer happens to read. We publish both.

The FAQ answers “What is my profit split?” with “80% across instant, one step, two step and three step”, and clause 3 of the Terms gives 80% for the four programmes it describes. Two of the products the Terms do not describe run at 70%: the Mini (“The payout split is 70%”) and Prediction Markets (“The profit split is 70%”).
On the Omo Two-Step and Buy Now, Pay Later, the split is 80% but can be halved permanently. The M2 Account Saver triggers automatically at 2% open drawdown: “First breach: all open trades are immediately closed and your profit split is permanently reduced to 50% for the remainder of the account. Second breach… your account is permanently deactivated.” The Buy Now, Pay Later FAQ separately states that the split “applies from your very first withdrawal and does not change over time, regardless of account size”, which the M2 answer on the same page contradicts.
Checkout also sells a “90% Profit Split” add-on at $2.25, described as “Keep 90% of your profits instead of the standard split”. It is cheap, and it means the headline figure is a default rather than a term.

The Terms state one rule for all eight products: no opening or closing within two minutes either side of a Forex Factory red-folder release. The FAQ then exempts Instant, and the Omo and Buy Now, Pay Later pages permit news trading outright in evaluation. The table above gives each product’s FAQ position, because that is the one written for that product, and records the contract’s blanket rule here so the conflict is visible rather than smoothed away.
Where the restriction does apply, it is wider than the two-minute wording suggests. A take-profit filling inside the window counts, including on a trade opened long beforehand, and Maven’s automatic close on hitting a target is not treated as an exception: “If your trades are closed during a news event, whether or not a take profit is set, it will be considered a violation.” Profit earned in the window is not credited, and a pass achieved on such a trade is not a pass.

The $10,000 rolling 30-day withdrawal ceiling described in Part two applies per trader, not per account, and treats multiple accounts as one. It therefore sits above every column in this table at once, and the per-product withdrawal caps in the table are additional to it rather than instead of it.
Whether that ceiling rises with a scaled account is the one figure Maven states both ways on the same page. See the scaling entry in Part two.

What has changed
Every rule change we find is logged here with the date we found it and a link to the source. This page was first published in September 2026, so the log starts empty and fills as the firm changes its rules.
No changes to Maven Trading's published rules have been recorded since this page was first verified on 27 September 2026. This page is re-checked against Maven Trading's own pages every Sunday, and any change will be logged here with the previous and new wording.
How this page is maintained
Every value on this page was read from Maven Trading’s own published pages and is linked to the page it came from. Where two of the firm’s pages state different things, both are given with their sources rather than merged into a figure neither page contains.
Values, verification dates and the change log are held separately from the writing, so a re-check can update a figure without touching a sentence. Where a rule is not published, the page says so rather than filling the gap.
We have no affiliate agreement with Maven Trading and earn nothing if you buy from them. The firm is documented here to the same standard as the firms we are paid by, because a rules record that covered only our commercial partners would not be worth keeping.
One methodological note. Maven’s FAQ answers are not present in the page’s visible text until each item is opened, so they were read from the structured data the page itself serves rather than through any summarising fetch. Every quotation here is the firm’s own string, copied rather than paraphrased.
Right of reply
Every figure on this page was read from Maven Trading’s own published pages and is linked to its source, with the date it was checked. If something here is wrong, we want to know.
If you work for the firm: write to corrections@propfirmbriefing.com. We aim to acknowledge within two working days.
What happens next depends on what is wrong.
- If we have misread a rule, we correct it, date the correction and record it in the changelog on this page.
- If the rule has changed since we checked, we re-read the source, update the value and log both the old and the new figure.
- Where we have documented a contradiction between two of the firm’s own published documents, we will not remove it. We will publish the firm’s explanation alongside it, and mark it resolved when the underlying documents agree.
- If the disagreement is about interpretation rather than fact, we publish the firm’s position in full next to ours and leave readers to weigh both.
We do not accept payment to change or remove anything, and whether we have a commercial relationship with a firm makes no difference to any of the above. Corrections are shown on the page, never made silently.
If you are a trader and a rule here no longer matches what you see in your account, tell us at the same address. Rules in this industry move quickly and traders usually notice before we do.
