Noctorial's plans state a maximum drawdown of 6% to 8% of the account size (drawdown type: trailing and static), across 17 plans. A consistency rule applies: on funded accounts no single trade may exceed 25% of the profit requested in a payout; in every phase each trade's lot size must stay between half and double the average for that instrument. News trading is conditional: unrestricted during evaluation; on funded accounts the help centre excludes from the payout any profit on trades opened or closed within 3 minutes of high-impact news, while the newer rules docs say news trading is unrestricted on all accounts.
