2-Step Evaluation – Dual Protocol Challenge (Swing)

Phase 1 – Evaluation Objectives

  • Achieve a 8% profit target.
  • Complete a minimum of 5 trading days.
  • Respect all trading rules and risk limits. Successful completion will automatically grant access to Step 2.

Phase 2 – Evaluation Objectives

  • Reach a 5% profit target.
  • Complete a minimum of 5 trading days.
  • Follow all trading guidelines and limits. Following a successful review, the funded account is awarded.

NOTE: Active trading days are defined as days on which at least one position is opened and closed with a minimum trade size of 0.01 lots, resulting in either a profit or a loss.

Risk Management – Hard Breach Policy

Two-Step Dual Protocol Swing operates under a static drawdown system, emphasizing responsible risk control. A hard breach occurs when a trader exceeds the permitted daily drawdown or maximum overall loss and leads to the immediate closure of the account, applicable both during the evaluation and funded phases.

Daily Drawdown Limit – 5%

What does it mean?

Your maximum daily loss is limited to 5% of your initial account balance.
This limit is recalculated every day AT MIDNIGHT (00.00 CEST), based on the higher value between your balance and equity, ensuring a fair and transparent trading environment.

How is it calculated?

At each daily reset AT MIDNIGHT (00.00 CEST), Cyber Funded determines which value is higher between your account balance or equity.
Then, 5% of your initial balance is subtracted from that value to set your new daily drawdown limit for the following trading day.

Example 1 – Higher Equity:

If your balance is $105,000 and your equity is $107,000, your equity must not fall below $101,650 during the next trading day.

Example 2 – Higher Balance:

If your balance is $100,000 and your equity is $99,000, your equity cannot drop below $95,000 the following day.

Overall Loss Limit – 10%

This is the absolute minimum your balance can reach before triggering a hard breach. It rule caps the total permissible drawdown from the initial balance. A drop below 10% of your starting capital constitutes a hard breach.

Example: On a $100,000 account, the lowest allowable value for equity or balance is $90,000.

All trade results, including closed P&L and commissions, are considered in the drawdown calculations.

Swing accounts are Swap Free!

Trader Rewards & Profit Sharing

Cyber Funded offers a competitive 80% profit split as standard, with a BI-Weekly Payout for the Dual Protocol Standard Swing.

Example: If you generate $5,000 in profit, your reward would amount to $4,000.

Scaling Plan:

To scale up your payout percentage, you need to meet these criteria over any consecutive 4-month period:

  • Minimum of 4 months of account activity is required
  • 4 consecutive payouts received
  • At least 10% total net simulated profit in the 4-months trading window
  • Positive account balance at the time of scale-up

When you’re ready to request a scale-up:

  1. Close all open trades
  2. Finish your current trading cycle
  3. Contact our support via E-mail support@cyberfunded (with object SCALING UP) immediately after the cycle ends
  4. Don’t open new trades during the review

If eligible, you’ll receive a 25% balance increase and your profit share will increase to 90% for future payouts. 

Reward Cycle & Withdrawal Flexibility

The first payout will be processed 28 days after the request has been submitted. Subsequently we will operate on a BI-weekly cycle, allowing traders to request their share of profits after 14 days or once they feel comfortable with it. Simply submit a request, and we will process your payout accordingly.

Holding over nights/weekends

The Cyber Funded Swing Account is tailored for traders who require greater flexibility in their trading approach, particularly those who rely on medium to long-term strategies.

Unlike the standard account type, the Swing Account allows traders to:

  • Hold positions overnight, even across market breaks longer than two hours
  • Maintain trades over the weekend
  • Trade freely around high-impact news events with no time restriction 

This makes the Swing Account particularly suitable for:

  • Fundamental traders, who anticipate that macroeconomic sentiment will unfold over several days or weeks
  • Technical traders focusing on higher timeframes (typically H1/H4 and above), where trades are not opened and closed within the same session

While the Swing Account offers extended flexibility, traders must still comply with all Cyber Funded policies. We strongly discourage the use of prohibited trading practices and high-risk (“gambling-like”) behaviors.
