Fee refund policy
Hantec Trader does not refund the challenge fee. Treat the evaluation cost as a one-time purchase.
Why traders fail Hantec Trader challenges
The most common failure causes are tied directly to Hantec Trader's rule set — here are the ones to plan around before paying for an evaluation.
- 1
Breaching the absolute balance drawdown
Hantec Trader enforces a drawdown limit on the account balance. Traders typically breach it by oversizing — a single trade that goes against them is enough.
Tip: Cap your risk per trade so a stop-out never approaches the daily or max loss line.
- 2
Failing the consistency rule
Hantec Trader enforces a consistency rule (EnhancedX: Your best trading day's profit based on equity at the end of day must not exceed 45% of total profits, this applies to evaluation and funded stage. Instant Funding Lite: Your best trading day's profit based on equity at the end of day must not exceed 20% of total profits). One outsized winning day can disqualify the run even if the profit target is hit.
Tip: Spread profit across multiple sessions — don't double down once you're up. Smaller, repeatable winners pass the rule cleanly.
- 3
News trading violations
Hantec Trader restricts news trading: News trading is allowed during evaluation stages, but not allowed 3 minutes before and after high impact news in funded stages and Instant funding accounts. A single trade open during the restricted window — even if it's profitable — can breach the rule.
Tip: Flatten exposure 5+ minutes before high-impact releases. Use an economic calendar — don't rely on memory.
- 4
Running disallowed EAs or copy trading
Hantec Trader restricts automation: EAs are not allowed in Instant Funding accounts. Even a single forbidden bot trade can void the run.
Tip: Check the rule list before installing any tool that places trades for you. When unsure, trade manually until you've confirmed in writing.
Who Hantec Trader fits
Good fit if you trade like this:
- Traders who want funded capital without a multi-week evaluation — instant-funding tier is available.
Look elsewhere if any of these apply:
- News-event traders — releases are off-limits or heavily restricted.
- High-variance traders relying on a single big day — the consistency rule will block the pass.
