Cointracts's plans state a maximum drawdown of 8% to 10% of the account size (drawdown type: static), across 6 plans. A consistency rule applies: largest single day's profit under 50% of all positive-day profit for a payout, alongside a 70% total margin cap that carries payout penalties; checked at payout review. News trading is conditional: no news restrictions in the challenge guide; an older FAQ on the challenge page lists news-spike abuse among prohibited strategies.
