WARBUX FAQ

Advice and answers from the WarBux Team

ARE COMMISSIONS CHARGED ON THE TRADING ACTIVITY?

Commissions or commission-equivalents may be charged in connection with your trading activity.

Note: Cryptocurrency trading is subject to a percentage-based commission rate of 0.05% of the total notional trade volume, charged per side (USD amount * 0.0005).

ARE STOP LOSSES REQUIRED?

No, WarBux does not require traders to place a stop loss.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A BREACH?

A breach occurs when you violate the Max Drawdown rule. If this happens, your Assessment will fail or your Funded Account will be revoked.

HOW DO YOU CALCULATE THE MAXIMUM STATIC DRAWDOWN?

The Maximum Static Drawdown means that it stays fixed for the entire duration of your account.

To calculate it, we take the drawdown percentage from your starting balance.

Example:

If your starting balance is $100,000 with a 6% Max Drawdown, your limit is $94,000. Dropping below that would violate the rule.

Even if your closed balance increases — for instance, to $102,000 — your Max Drawdown remains $94,000.

No matter how high your balance grows, your drawdown limit never changes.

HOW DO YOU CALCULATE THE MAXIMUM TRAILING DRAWDOWN?

The Maximum Trailing Drawdown is determined by first calculating the drawdown amount — this is the drawdown percentage taken from your starting balance.

We then subtract that amount from your end-of-day High-Water Mark (HWM) to find your drawdown limit.

Example:

On a $100,000 account with a 6% drawdown, the drawdown amount is $6,000.

If you end the trading day with a HWM of $102,000, your new drawdown limit becomes $96,000 ($102,000 – $6,000).

If your equity ever falls below $96,000, your account will be breached.

HOW DO YOU CALCULATE THE DAILY DRAWDOWN?

The Daily Loss Limit is the maximum amount your account can lose in a single day. It is based on your previous day’s end-of-day balance, which resets at 5 PM EST.

The limit compounds as your account grows — meaning it increases when your balance increases.

Example:

If your end-of-day balance yesterday (5 PM EST) was $100,000, with a daily drawdown of 5%, your Daily Loss Limit would be $95,000.

This means your equity cannot fall below $95,000 at any time during the trading day.

Even if you start the next day with $105,000 in equity, your loss limit for that day still uses the previous day’s $100,000 balance — so your limit remains $95,000 until the next reset.

 

WHAT IS THE CONSISTENCY RULE AND IS IT REQUIRED TO PASS THE CHALLENGE?

The Consistency Rule at WarBux applies to all accounts, including both evaluation and funded accounts.
It measures your ability to generate steady, consistent profits rather than relying on one outsized winning day.

On funded accounts, users will be ineligible for a payout until consistency is met.

To meet the rule, your most profitable day must not exceed 33% of your total profits.
If a single day’s profit is greater than 33% of your total profits — even after reaching the profit target — you must continue trading until that percentage falls below 33%.

Calculation

Best Profitable Day Ă· Total Profits Ă— 100 = Best Day % of Total Profit

Example 1

On a $100,000 account with a 10% profit target ($10,000):

  • Day 1: +$8,000
  • Day 2: +$2,000

Calculation:

8,000 Ă· 10,000 Ă— 100 = 80%

Since 80% exceeds the 33% limit, the trader must continue trading.

If on Day 3 they earn another $5,000, their total profit is $15,000.
8,000 ÷ 15,000 × 100 = 53.3% — still above 33%, so trading must continue.

Example 2 (Consistent Performance)

On a $100,000 account with a 10% profit target ($10,000), the trader trades for 4 days, earning $2,500 each day.

Calculation:

2,500 Ă· 10,000 Ă— 100 = 25%

Because the best day’s profit is below 33%, the trader meets both the profit target and the consistency requirement.

HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY TRADING CREDENTIALS?

Your trading credentials will be delivered to you by email.

 

CAN I HOLD POSITIONS OVER THE WEEKEND?

Yes, WarBux allows you to hold positions over the weekend at no additional cost.

 

IS THERE A BREACH FOR INACTIVITY?

Yes. We will consider you inactive and your account will be breached if you do not have any trading activity on your account for 30 consecutive days.

 

CAN I HAVE MORE THAN ONE ACCOUNT?

Evaluation Limits:

You are allowed to take only one evaluation of a specific account size and a specific plan tier at a time across all trading platforms.

Example: You can have one 100k One Step Plan and one 100k Two Step Plan active simultaneously. However, you cannot have 2+ 100k 1 Step plans simultaneously

Maximum Assessment Limits:

A maximum allocation of $380K in active evaluation plans per person is permitted. This can be composed of multiple assessments, provided that none are the same account size and are within the same Step framework as described above.

Maximum Funded Limits:

A maximum of $380K in active funded plans per person is permitted.

If a customer passes multiple assessments and has 2 active funded accounts of the same account size, they will have 2 options:

  1. Only maintain one active funded account of the same plan type and size at the same time.
  2. If no trading has taken place in either account, the customer can opt to combine the 2 accounts into a single account of double the size.

Compounding Limits:

There are no limits on compounding.

You can start with up to $1 million of initial funding and grow the account to any balance you desire, including $10 million, $20 million, and beyond.

 

HOW DOES HEDGING WORK ON WARBUX?

WarBux allows hedging, but certain safeguards are in place to support a more balanced trading environment and manage risk.

Margin is charged on the larger position.

For example, if you hold a 1-lot long and a 1-lot short position, the margin requirement will not be zero.

Instead, DXtrade applies margin to the larger side of the hedge — in this case, 1 lot — regardless of trade direction.

 

WHAT IS SLIPPAGE?

Slippage occurs when a trade is executed at a different price than what was requested, often as a result of high market volatility or low liquidity.

One consequence of periods of increased volatility or low liquidity is that prices can change so rapidly that the desired price is no longer available by the time the order is processed, forcing it to be filled at the next best available price.

 

WHAT IS SPREAD?

The spread is the difference between the bid and ask price of an asset. It represents trading costs and simulates trading conditions.

Please note that WarBuxis not a broker and only has spread to simulate realistic trading conditions.

 

WHAT STRATEGIES ARE ALLOWED?

You may not engage in any trading strategies that are restricted by the Company or its Liquidity Providers.

These restricted strategies (“Prohibited Trading”) include, but are not limited to:

Exploiting errors or latency in the pricing and/or platform(s) provided by the Liquidity Provider

Utilizing non-public and/or insider information

Front-running of trades placed elsewhere

Trading in any way that jeopardizes the relationship that the Company has with a Liquidity Provider or may result in the canceling of trades

Trading in any way that creates regulatory issues for the Liquidity Provider

Utilizing any third-party strategy, off-the-shelf strategy or one marketed to pass challenge accounts

Utilizing one strategy to pass an assessment and then utilizing a different strategy in a funded account, as determined by the Company in cooperation with Prop Account, LLC at their discretion

Attempting to arbitrage an assessment account with another account with the Company or any third-party company, as determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion.

Opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a News Event is prohibited. Any traders identified as having opened a position during a News Event are subject to having that position closed and the associated P&L removed from their account, having the leverage on their account reduced or having their account breached altogether. The Company has sole and absolute discretion in determining what constitutes a News Event. This rule is intended to protect the integrity of our program and is not meant to penalize traders who inadvertently trade through a news event.

No Gambling Permitted : When participating in trading on both Challenge and Funded Accounts, traders are expected to adhere to responsible risk management practices. This includes carefully considering the risks associated with position size, trade duration, and hedging strategies. Taking excessive risks, such as utilizing maximum leverage to open large positions with the hope of reaching profit targets through a single price movement, is strictly prohibited. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for the full Prohibition of Gambling Practices language.

If the Company detects that your trading constitutes Prohibited Trading, your participation in the program will be terminated and may include forfeiture of any fees paid to the Company. Additionally, and before any Trader shall receive a funded account, the trading activity of the Trader under these Terms and

Conditions shall be reviewed by both the Company and the Liquidity Provider to determine whether such trading activity constitutes Prohibited Trading. In the case of Prohibited Trading, the Trader shall not receive a funded account.

Additionally, the Company reserves the right to disallow or block any Trader from participating in the program for any reason, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

To view all Prohibited Uses, please review our Terms and Conditions here.

ARE THERE ANY WITHDRAWAL FEES?

WarBux does not charge any additional fees for withdrawing

Please note that Blockchain network fees (also called gas fees) apply when withdrawing in crypto.

These fees are not charged by WarBux but by the crypto network itself and can vary depending on network congestion and the type of cryptocurrency used.

 

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY FUNDED ACCOUNT?

Upon passing your Assessment, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access and complete both your “Know Your Customer” verification and your “Trader Agreement”.

Once both are completed your Funded Account will be created, funded and issued to you typically within 24-48 business hours.

You will receive a confirmation email once this account is being enabled.

 

ONCE I PASS THE ASSESSMENT AM I PROVIDED WITH A DEMO OR FUNDED ACCOUNT?

Once you pass the Assessment, we provide you with a funded account, backed by our capital.

The capital in your funded Account is notional and may not match the amount of capital on deposit with the Liquidity Provider.

A Funded Account is notionally funded when actual funds in the account (i.e., the equity in a Funded Account represented by the amount of capital) differs from the nominal account size (i.e., the size of the Funded Account that establishes the initial account value and level of trading).

Notional funds are the difference between nominal account size and actual capital in a Funded Account.

Use of notional funding does not impact your trading conditions in any way.

 

WHAT ARE THE WITHDRAWAL OPTIONS?

WarBux offers withdrawals through Columis and Rise.

  • Columis supports withdrawals in ETH, BTC, and USDC.
  • Rise supports  the withdrawal of funds in either fiat or crypto. Payouts can go to a crypto wallet, or to a local bank account in your local currency.

They support “100+ supported coins” for crypto withdrawals, and “90+ fiat currencies” for payouts to bank accounts.

 

DO WE MANIPULATE THE PRICING OR EXECUTIONS YOU RECEIVE IN YOUR FUNDED ACCOUNT?

No. All market pricing and trade executions are provided by the Liquidity Provider(s), without any alterations or modifications on our part.

 

WHO IS THE COUNTERPARTY TO MY TRADES?

For purposes of managing risk and minimizing transaction costs, we may offset or negate market risk and act as the direct counterparty to certain trades initiated in the Account.

Such trades are executed at prices provided by the Liquidity Provider(s).

This framework is intended to ensure you receive real market execution on your trades, while simultaneously allowing us to manage risk dynamically by routing existing positions or future orders to third parties for execution as we deem appropriate.

We believe that such real market execution and dynamic risk management would not be possible or as cost-effective if trades were executed in simulated accounts.

Regardless of whether we act as counterparty to your trades, the gain or loss on your funded account is not calculated differently.

However, when we act as the counterparty to your trades, there is an inherent potential conflict of interest because your trades do not result in net gain or loss to us, as your trades would if we were not the direct counterparty.

 

AM I SUBJECT TO ANY POSITION LIMITS?

The maximum position that you may open is determined by your available margin.

We reserve the right to increase the margin requirement, amend the leverage ratio limits, or limit the number of open positions you may enter or maintain in a Funded Account at any time, without prior notice, and to revise, in response to market conditions, the drawdown levels at which trading in the funded account will be halted.

We or the Liquidity Provider reserve the right to refuse to accept any order.

 

WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR THE FUNDED ACCOUNT?

The rules for the funded account are exactly the same as your Assessment account. However, with a funded account, there is no profit target.

 

IF I HAVE A BREACH IN MY FUNDED ACCOUNT AND THERE ARE GAINS IN THE ACCOUNT, DO I FORFEIT THOSE GAINS?

If you have gains in your funded account at the time of a breach, you will still receive your portion of those gains provided you have met consistency.

For example, if you have a $100,000 account and you grow that account to $110,000. Should you then have a breach we would close the account.

Of the $10,000 in gains in your funded account, you would be paid your portion thereof.

 

HOW DO I WITHDRAW THE GAINS IN MY FUNDED ACCOUNT?

Traders can request a withdrawal of the gains in their funded account at any time in their trader dashboard using the available payment methods.

So, if you make gains in your funded account, you can request a withdrawal.

When you are ready to withdraw the gains from your funded account, click the Withdraw Profits button in your trader dashboard and enter the amount to withdraw.

All such gains are distributed via the available outbound payment solutions offered from time to time.

Once your withdrawal request is approved, we will pay the monies owed to you.

We reserve the right to change the withdrawal methods and options at any time.

 

WHEN CAN I WITHDRAW THE GAINS IN MY FUNDED ACCOUNT AND HOW DOES THAT AFFECT MY MAXIMUM DRAWDOWN? 

Your first withdrawal can be requested at any time, subject to the profit split stated in the Trader Agreement.

When a withdrawal is approved, we will also withdraw our share of the gains.

The drawdown does not reset when you request a withdrawal.

Example: You have taken an account from $100,000 to $120,000.

You then request a withdrawal of $16,000 where the profit split is 80/20. In this scenario, you will receive $14,400 and we would retain $1,600.

This would also take the balance of the account down to $104,000, and your Maximum Drawdown will remain$94,000.

So, you would have $10,000 maximum you could lose on the account before it would violate the Maximum Drawdown rule.

If you take a full withdrawal of the gains in your Funded Account, the Maximum Drawdown will still remain at $94,000.

 

DO I HAVE TO USE ONE OF YOUR ACCOUNTS FOR THE ASSESSMENT OR CAN I USE MY OWN?

We have risk management software that is synced with the accounts we create.

This allows us to analyze your performance in real time for achievements or rule violations.

As such, you must use an account that we provide to you.

 

WHAT COUNTRIES ARE ACCEPTED?

Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, traders from all countries, excluding OFAC listed countries, can take part in our program, unless otherwise limited at the Company’s discretion.

 

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE I MUST BE TO BE PART OF YOUR PROGRAM?

You must be at least 18 years of age, or the applicable minimum legal age in your country, to purchase an assessment.

 

WHERE DO I TRACK THE PROGRESS OF MY ACCOUNT?

Upon purchasing an Assessment, you will receive access to a trader dashboard where you can monitor your Assessment and Funded Accounts.

The dashboard is updated every time we calculate metrics, which occurs roughly every 60 seconds. It is your responsibility to monitor your breach levels.

 

WHAT PLATFORM CAN I TRADE ON?

All trades will be executed on the DXtrade platform.

 

WHAT PRODUCTS CAN I TRADE?

You can trade any products streamed by the Liquidity Provider into the available platform.

 

WHAT IS THE LEVERAGE?

We allow up to 5:1 leverage on BTC and ETH.  Other cryptocurrencies listed on the platform are at 2:1.

We reserve the right to modify the leverage limits offered on any asset at any time, without prior notice. This includes adjusting maximum leverage ratios, changing margin requirements, or imposing additional restrictions on the use of leverage in your account. Leverage levels may also be revised in response to market conditions or risk considerations, and such changes may affect your existing or future positions.

 

WHAT ARE THE TRADING HOURS?

Trading hours are set by the cryptocurrency exchange or Liquidity Provider(s) and are generally open 24 hours. We do not have any control over the trading hours.

Please note that holidays can have an impact on available trading hours.

 

CAN I USE AUTOMATED STRATEGIES?

By default, DxTrade does not support automated trading strategies. However, there are no restrictions against using them if customers are able to program their strategies directly within DxTrade.

 

CAN I TRADE DURING NEWS EVENTS?

Opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a News Event, for example a Red Folder event is prohibited.

Any traders identified as having opened a position during a News Event are subject to having that position closed and the associated P&L removed from their account, having the leverage on their account reduced or having their account breached altogether.

The Company has sole and absolute discretion in determining what constitutes a News Event.

This rule is intended to protect the integrity of our program and is not meant to penalize traders who inadvertently trade through a news event.

 

HOW WILL I SEE THE CHARGE ON MY STATEMENT?

Charges come across in the name of warbuxbtc.com.

 

HOW ARE TAXES HANDLED?

When trading a Funded Account for our firm, you are treated as an independent contractor. As a result, you are responsible for any and all taxes on your gains.

 

HOW ARE AFFILIATES CREDITED?

Affiliates are credited for referrals when a user creates an account using a link or discount code provided by the Affiliate.

Note: These may subject to change.

 

WHEN DOES THE TRADING DAY END?

The trading day ends at 5:00 PM EST.

Any positions held past this time may incur overnight fees and experience temporarily widened spreads.
