One phase, no daily drawdown limit, only the overall boundary applies.

Program guideConstant Access4 min read

By the Constant Funded team

Constant Access is Constant's one-phase evaluation program with no daily drawdown restriction. You still need to respect the overall maximum drawdown and the minimum trading days, but there is no separate per-day loss limit to track. Payouts depend on your consistency score and run every 30 days. This page covers everything.

How the program works

Constant Access has one evaluation phase. You either buy the account for a one-time fee based on the account size you choose, or receive it free through a promotion or reward. Once active, you have unlimited time to hit the profit target while respecting the overall drawdown limit. Passing the phase makes you eligible for a funded trading stage and profit-sharing.

Consistency score and activation fee

Constant Access uses a consistency score: your best trading day as a share of your total net profit. Lower is better. Payouts need a score of 35% or lower for the payout cycle. If your evaluation was free, you pay a one-time activation fee after passing, between 37% and 75% of the standard evaluation fee, set by your score when you pass. Paid evaluations owe no activation fee.

No daily drawdown limit

Constant Access does not enforce a per-day loss limit. You can have a losing day without it counting against a daily boundary. The overall maximum drawdown limit still applies at all times and is the only drawdown rule on this plan.

No daily limit does not mean no risk. A single large loss can still breach the 7% maximum drawdown in one trade or one day.

Maximum drawdown

During the evaluation, the maximum drawdown is static: measured from your starting balance and fixed there. On a $10,000 account, the floor is $9,300 and doesn't move as your balance rises. Once funded, the same $700 allowance uses closed-balance trailing: each new highest realized balance after a trade closes can raise the floor, temporary unrealized profit cannot, and live equity is checked continuously. Falling below the floor breaches the account. The floor stops rising and locks permanently when it reaches the original $10,000 starting balance.

The 50% margin rule

At all times you must maintain at least 50% free margin. Free margin is the portion of your account not actively committed as collateral for open positions. If your open positions require more than 50% of your available margin, you are in violation. The fix is straightforward: reduce position sizes, close some trades, or stop adding to existing positions when margin is under pressure.

Margin rule violations may trigger a warning strike. Repeated violations can breach the account.

Strategies and behaviors that are prohibited

  • Any news trading. Close all trades at least 10 minutes before a high-impact (red folder) news event and open nothing until 10 minutes after it.
  • High-frequency trading and tick scalping.
  • Automated strategies, bots, and expert advisors.
  • Copy trading, signal services, and mirrored execution.
  • Martingale, grid, and progressive position-stacking strategies.
  • Trades closed within 60 seconds of opening.
  • Latency arbitrage and exploitation of platform execution delays.
  • Account sharing or allowing third parties to access or trade the account.

What happens when you pass

When you hit the profit target with at least three valid trading days completed, the account moves into a funded account review. This review takes 24 to 48 hours. Your account stays live during this period, data keeps syncing and the maximum drawdown rule still applies.

The funded phase and payout eligibility

After review is approved, the account advances to the funded phase. The same margin requirement and strategy prohibitions still apply, and there's still no daily drawdown limit — but the maximum drawdown switches from static to trailing at this point. After 30 days from when the funded phase begins, the account becomes eligible for its first payout request, and every 30 days after that. To request a payout, your consistency score for the payout cycle must be 35% or lower: your best trading day can be at most 35% of your total net profit since funding or your last payout. A higher score is not a breach; you simply keep trading until it comes down. Each payout also needs at least three valid trading days (days with at least 1% gain) since funding or your last payout, the same as the evaluation.

Best day as a share of total net profit in the payout cycle

The margin rule that applied during evaluation stays active throughout the funded phase, and the maximum drawdown limit keeps applying too — it just switches from static to trailing. A breach in funded phase ends the account.
