Minimum holding time: treated differently in Japanese and English FAQs
Japanese FAQ: trades under the minimum holding time reduce the profit share; exceeding the limit resets the account and forfeits that cycle’s profit. No table of limits.

Violation review: details only in the English FAQ
English FAQ: you can reply to a violation notice within 7 days, and only the violating trades are removed before the reward is recalculated. A risk review takes 5 business days; refusing can lead to a withheld payout, suspension or termination. The Japanese FAQ only mentions “an interview or additional documents”.

Passing with one trade: treatment differs between Japanese and English FAQs
Japanese FAQ: a concerning pass that is not a clear violation (e.g. passing with one trade) moves the funded account to “evaluation” status with lower leverage, restored at the 3rd payout. English FAQ: a first case of gambling-style trading is a soft breach; that payout is processed at a 30% share and the payout count restarts from 1.
The 30% treatment is not in the Japanese FAQ. This is not a rule change but a difference between the Japanese and English FAQs. The official FAQs do not say which one applies to users in Japan.

[For Japan] 1-step/2-step/LITE funded (<¥50m): no consistency rule → introduced 35%

[For Japan] Strategy-risk limit: 50% of daily loss cap (funded only) → 1% of initial balance per instrument per day (correlated instruments combined), all accounts and phases (first evaluation breach is warning only). Penalty: first evaluation warning; funded soft breach requiring reset. English FAQ 17437285 retains 50% of daily loss cap and funded-only (breach closes account and loses profits; dashboard reset available).
The 1% limit per instrument per day was extended to all phases. There is also a relaxation in that the first breach in evaluation only results in a warning. It applies only to new purchases and was announced.
[Japan] 1% rule breach: in evaluation, warn first (no first-offense disqualification; breach if not corrected after warning). In funded phase, soft breach requiring account reset via soft-breach reset.
[For Japan] Revival fee after inactivity expiry: 40% → 20% of original price

Terms overhauled: added video interview when requested by the firm. Failure to book and complete it within five business days of request can deny pending payout and cancel account (not mandatory every time for everyone).
A clause that can be grounds for refusing payouts was added. The saved versions of 1/29, 2/1 and 2/7 are all the same 8,220 characters, so nothing was missed in capture. The FAQ before the change did not contain this provision either.

Terms: prohibited gap trading near major economic releases or within two hours before long market closures (FAQ allows news trading)
Gap trading around economic releases and before long market closures was banned, an effective strategy restriction. Note also that the terms and the FAQ contradict each other. We have not been able to confirm whether it was announced.

[For Japan] Instant: Japanese landing page still says “no consistency rule” → Japanese FAQ says standard 35% (disable for 30% higher fee)
