Yes, news trading is allowed at Waka Funding. Leverage Details For Challenge/Evaluation accounts, Waka Funding provides a leverage of 1:100. Real accounts offer leverage of 1:30, similar to what institutional traders have access to. Transaction Commissions With Eightcap, a $7 commission per lot on currency pairs is charged. Proportional commissions apply to partial lots. Indices, commodities, and other instruments incur only market spread with no additional commissions. 33% Consistency Rule Explained The 33% Consistency Rule ensures no single transaction exceeds 33% of the requested profit during withdrawal. This rule promotes sound risk management and prevents excessive risk-taking, especially before significant news events. Implementation during Funding: This rule applies during the funding stage, using volume bands for consistent risk management. For example, if a trader’s average lot size is 3 lots per trade over a month, a 10-lot trade before payday would breach the rule by exceeding 200% of the average volume. Similarly, trades 75% smaller than the average would also be excluded. Formula: Average Lot Size: Total lots traded / Total transactions Upper Limit: Average lot size x 2 Lower Limit: Average lot size x 0.25 Transactions are aggregated within a 30-second window to ensure consistency in volumes and profits. Outcome: Transactions outside the acceptable range are excluded, but the account remains active, with compliant transactions processed normally. The rule is designed to balance competitiveness with long-term sustainability and market presence. While some traders may find this rule restrictive, it encourages better trading habits and adherence to planned strategies.
