Organized answers for traders, clients, and account reviews.

Gravity Funding is a trader evaluation platform. Traders use simulated accounts to complete published objectives, follow risk rules, and become eligible for the next account stage or performance rewards after internal review.

No. Evaluation and funded-stage accounts are simulated trading accounts governed by Gravity Funding program terms. Results, account status, and payout eligibility are reviewed through Gravity systems before any reward is approved.

Start by choosing the account type and size that fits your risk tolerance. Review the phase targets, drawdown limits, minimum trading days, restricted strategies, payout rules, and verification requirements before placing your first trade.

Passing is not only about reaching the profit target. Your account must also respect daily and maximum drawdown, valid trading day rules, margin requirements, execution rules, and behavior checks designed to identify abuse or unsustainable risk.

Yes. You can configure a program and account size on the public website. When checkout or activation requires account context, you will be asked to sign in or create a profile so the dashboard can attach the order to the correct user.

No. The registered account owner must control the account and place every trade. Shared login details, third-party account management, selling access, copy management, or allowing another person to trade may result in review or breach.

Yes. Gravity may review device, IP address, session history, login patterns, and trading behavior when checking for account sharing, coordinated trading, copy behavior, fraud, or rule abuse.

Your account status controls what actions are available, including trading access, phase progression, activation, payout requests, support context, and compliance review. If the dashboard shows a pending or restricted state, avoid repeated actions and contact support with the account ID.

Gravity 2 Step has two evaluation phases. Phase 1 requires a 10% profit target and Phase 2 requires a 4% profit target. The program includes a 4% daily drawdown limit, a 10% maximum drawdown limit, and at least three valid trading days per phase.

Pay After Pass lets traders begin an available account size for $15. Both phases require a 6% profit target, with a 4% daily drawdown limit and an 8% maximum drawdown limit. Account activation is required after passing and review before progressing.

Gravity 2 Step and Pay After Pass have unlimited maximum trading days. Each phase still requires the published minimum number of valid trading days, and the account must remain within all drawdown and trading rules.

For Gravity 2 Step and Pay After Pass, a valid trading day generally requires the day to close with at least a 0.5% gain on the account balance. Free Accounts use a different valid-day rule, so always check the rule set for your specific account.

Completing Phase 2 moves your account into a funded account review, not directly to payouts. The review takes 24 to 48 hours. After review is confirmed, the account advances to the funded phase where you continue trading under the same rules. A 14-day countdown then runs before your account becomes eligible to request a payout.

The funded phase uses the same risk rules as evaluation — same daily drawdown limit, same maximum drawdown, same margin requirement, same strategy prohibitions. A breach in funded phase ends the account the same as a breach during evaluation. The key difference is that Gravity 2 Step and Pay After Pass already have no phase time limit, and Free Account traders no longer have the 30-day calendar deadline once they reach funded phase.

Eligible traders may be considered for scaling up to $1,000,000 after maintaining consistent performance, following all rules, completing required reviews, and meeting the current program terms. Scaling is not automatic and remains subject to approval.

Free Accounts use two phases. Phase 1 requires a 10% profit target ($800 on an $8,000 account) and Phase 2 requires a 4% profit target ($320). Each phase requires at least four valid trading days and must be completed within 30 calendar days from your first trade. See the full rules guide for complete details.

A Free Account trading day is valid only when you close the day with at least a 1% net gain — that is $80 or more on an $8,000 account. Days you break even or finish in a loss do not count toward the four-day minimum, even if you were actively trading.

The 30-day clock starts the moment you place your very first trade — not when your account is activated. From that point you have exactly 30 calendar days to hit the phase target and complete four valid trading days. Weekends count as calendar days even though trading is not allowed on weekends. The Phase 2 clock resets when you advance from Phase 1.

News trading, high-frequency trading, bots and EAs, copy trading, martingale strategies, and trades shorter than 30 seconds are all prohibited. Cryptocurrency instruments are not supported on this account type. Weekend trading is not permitted — all positions must be closed before Friday's market close.

You must keep at least 50% of your total margin free at all times. In plain terms: you cannot have more than half your available margin tied up in open positions at once. The system allows two strikes for violations before a third violation breaches the account.

Free Accounts are eligible for a single one-time payout, requested after the 14-day funded wait. The maximum eligible amount is $200, and you receive 80% of that — about $160. The moment you submit the payout request, the funded account automatically closes — there is no second cycle. Payouts also require passing the trading behavior review, completing identity verification, and having a registered crypto wallet in your dashboard. This is different from Gravity 2 Step and Pay After Pass, where funded accounts keep trading on ongoing 14-day payout cycles instead of closing after one payout. Reaching the profit target alone does not guarantee a payout — review is required.

Phase 1 target: 10% ($800). Phase 2 target: 4% ($320). Daily drawdown limit: 4% ($320). Maximum drawdown: 10% ($800). Minimum valid trading days: 4 per phase. Valid day threshold: 1% daily gain. Phase time limit: 30 calendar days from first trade (Phase 1 and 2 only — funded phase has no time limit). No weekend trading. No crypto instruments. 50% free margin required at all times. After Phase 2: 24–48 hr review → funded phase → 14-day wait → payout eligible. Maximum payout: $200 cap, you receive 80% (about $160), one-time only — submitting that request automatically closes the funded account (unlike Gravity 2 Step and Pay After Pass, which continue on repeating 14-day payout cycles). Full details on the Free 8K Account rules page.

No. Opening or closing trades around restricted high-impact news events is not allowed. If your strategy depends on news volatility, review the restricted window before trading because violations may lead to review or breach.

No. Automated execution, expert advisors, HFT, tick scalping, copy trading, account management services, signal copying, and account sharing are prohibited unless a future program explicitly states otherwise in writing.

No. Traders may not use latency differences, delayed pricing, stale quotes, platform errors, or execution delays to create an unfair profit. This is treated as execution abuse and may invalidate results.

No. Martingale, grid recovery, excessive averaging, and position stacking designed to recover losses through increased exposure are prohibited because they create unstable risk and can hide account damage until drawdown is breached.

Trading decisions must be independent. Copying another trader, using third-party signal services, coordinating entries, mirroring trades across unrelated accounts, sharing account access, or allowing another person to trade the account is prohibited.

Toxic order flow is trading designed to abuse liquidity, platform execution, spreads, rollover, abnormal market conditions, or other execution conditions. Examples may include exploit-based scalping, abusive order bursts, and trades relying on technical errors rather than market risk.

Every trade must remain open for more than 30 seconds. Shorter trades may be reviewed and may count as a violation, especially when combined with high-frequency entries, news spikes, latency abuse, or other restricted behavior.

Traders must maintain at least 50% free margin when the rule applies to the account type. The program may issue two strikes for violations; an additional violation may result in breach.

You pay $15 to begin the Pay After Pass evaluation. After passing both phases and completing review, account activation is required before progressing to the next eligible stage.

After checkout, the dashboard should attach the purchase or activation to your profile, show the account status, and display the next action. If payment succeeds but the dashboard does not update, do not create duplicate orders; contact support with the payment reference.

Activation can be delayed when payment confirmation, account provisioning, identity checks, compliance review, or trading-platform availability requires additional processing. The dashboard should show a clear pending state instead of silently failing.

On Gravity 2 Step and Pay After Pass, eligible traders may request a payout every 14 days on an ongoing basis, subject to account status, identity verification, trading review, payout limits, and compliance checks. Free Accounts are different: after the first 14-day funded wait, you can submit one payout request for up to $200 (you receive 80%, about $160), and submitting that request automatically closes the funded account — there is no repeating cycle on free accounts.

The processing target is within 24 hours after approval. Accounts requiring identity, payment, trading, or compliance review may take longer. Approval and processing are separate steps, so an approved request may still need payment handling time.

Yes. Identity verification may be required before funded-stage access, payouts, account upgrades, or other protected account actions. Verification helps confirm account ownership and reduce fraud or account-sharing risk.

Yes. Reaching a profit target does not guarantee payout approval. The account must also pass rule checks, identity checks when required, payment checks, and trading behavior review under the current program terms.

OpenBook Terminal is the trading terminal used with Gravity Funding accounts. It provides the trading workspace and account visibility needed to monitor progress, risk limits, trading activity, and account status.

Your Gravity dashboard and OpenBook account experience should show the relevant phase, target progress, drawdown usage, valid days, and account status. The backend API should remain the source of truth for these values.

The dashboard should show a clear degraded or retry state, preserve the last safe account context when appropriate, and prevent duplicate payment, activation, or payout actions. A temporary service issue should not create conflicting account states.

Once OpenBook API integration is available, account metrics should come from the API-backed backend rather than hardcoded frontend assumptions. The frontend should display API state clearly, including loading, unavailable, pending review, breached, passed, and funded states.

Support can help clarify program rules, account access, dashboard status, payment questions, verification steps, payout requests, and technical issues. Account-specific requests should be submitted from the dashboard when possible.

Sign in and open the Support section in your dashboard so the request can be associated with your profile, evaluation, payment, and account status. Include screenshots, account ID, payment reference, and the exact time of the issue when available.

Avoid repeating sensitive actions such as checkout, activation, or payout submission. Refresh once, confirm your internet connection, then contact support if the issue remains. Support can review backend logs and account state without creating duplicate client-side requests.

Use the dashboard support flow when available and include the account ID, affected action, timestamps, screenshots, and any transaction reference. Clear context helps the team separate account-rule issues from platform or backend incidents.
