Update to DNA Funded's trading challenge parameters

As DNA Funded continues to mature, they are refining their framework to ensure that things remain professional, sustainable, and competitive in the long term. These updates are designed to strengthen the platform, improve trading quality, and support consistent growth.

They have introduced a series of measured adjustments across their challenge models. While some parameters are being tightened, others are being expanded to create a healthier balance between opportunity and risk. This ensures the platform continues to attract serious traders while maintaining strong operational standards.

Key Updates:

Increased Leverage
Forex leverage across all challenges has been increased to 1:50, providing traders with greater flexibility in position sizing.

Reduced News Restrictions
The news trading window has been reduced from 10 minutes to 5 minutes, allowing traders to re-enter the market faster after major events.

Daily Drawdown Adjustments
Daily drawdown limits have been reduced as follows:
One Phase: 5% → 4%
Two Phase: 6% → 5%
Rapid: 4% → 3%
These changes promote more consistent risk management and discourage over-aggressive trading behaviour.

Two Phase Challenge Adjustments
Phase 1 Profit Target: 10% → 8%
Maximum Drawdown: 10% → 8%
Aligning profit targets with drawdown limits creates a more balanced and sustainable challenge structure.

Profit Distribution and Trading Days
Profit distribution is now set at 30%, and the minimum trading period across all challenges is now 5 trading days. These changes align DNA Funded with established industry standards and support long-term platform stability.

Effective Date: These updates are effective as of 3 February 2026.

Please Note: These changes will be implemented for new purchases from 3 February. Accounts that have been purchased or activated prior to this date will continue under the existing rules. Both sets of rules will be outlined in the Rules and Conditions document available on our website, and the Risk Team will apply them accordingly.

Overall, these updates are focused on improving trader quality, reducing unsustainable behaviour, and strengthening the DNA Funded brand. This creates a more reliable environment for affiliates, with fewer disputes, better retention, and stronger lifetime value per client.
