All legal documents · Qualification Terms of Service

hi2morrow · rules & conditions · version 1.0 · effective on publication

Every rule of the qualification and of the seat it leads to, with every number, published before you pay. Nothing here is subject to discretion unless a clause says so, and nothing changes during an attempt you have already started.

How to read this page. Part 1 is the test. Part 2 is the one-month Test Flight. Part 3 is what you pay and what comes back. Part 4 is the seat you hold if you pass. Part 5 says which decisions are the desk's and which are not. Part 6 defines the terms.

Precedence. This page states the rules in plain language. The Qualification Terms of Service contains the same rules in contractual form, and if the two ever differ the Terms prevail. The Terms are revised whenever this page is, on the same date, with the same version number.

Contents


Part 1. The Qualification

Stage 1 · simulated account · live market data

1.1 What it is

A two-month assessment on a simulated account fed with real-time US equity market data. No real money is traded and no order reaches any exchange. You pay a participation fee for access to the assessment; the fee is not a deposit, is not trading capital, and is not tradeable or withdrawable. Most participants do not pass.

1.2 The five tiers

Every tier runs the identical test in risk units. What differs is the simulated buying power, what one unit of risk is worth in dollars, and the level of the seat a pass opens.

Every dollar figure is calculated from buying power: daily R 0.25%, AutoStop 0.375%, profit target 5%, best day 1% (20% of the target). The maximum loss is the allocation of the seat the tier opens — 20R, 18R, 14R, 12R and 10R (see 4.5) — so you test under the room you would trade with. Nothing here is set by hand and nothing changes during an attempt.

1.3 The unit of risk

1R = 0.25% of buying power

Every limit in this test is a multiple of R. R is fixed for the whole attempt: it is the same on the first day and the last, and no result — good or bad — changes it.

1.4 The profit target

20R · 5% of buying power · may rise under 1.8, never falls

You pass when your cumulative net result at the end of any trading session is at or above the target. The target starts at 20R. It can rise under the best-day rule (1.8); it never falls and is never capped.

1.5 The daily pause

1R · 0.25% of buying power

When your net result for the session reaches −1R you may not open any new position or add to any existing one for the rest of that session. Positions already open are not closed by the pause; you may reduce or close them. Reaching the pause is not recorded against you.

1.6 The AutoStop and the allowance

1.5R · 0.375% of buying power · two per calendar month

When your net result for the session reaches −1.5R, every open position is closed by the system and the session ends. Each such event is an AutoStop and is counted.

  • You may have two AutoStops in any calendar month. A third AutoStop in the same calendar month ends the attempt.
  • The count resets to zero at the start of each calendar month.
  • The allowance is counted separately in each calendar month, so how many AutoStops an attempt can absorb depends on how many calendar months it falls across. What ends the attempt is a third one inside a single calendar month.

1.7 The maximum loss

the allocation of the seat you are testing for · 20R at Associate down to 10R at Principal · measured from the starting balance

If your cumulative net result at any point reaches the tier's maximum loss in 1.2, the attempt ends. It equals the allocation you would hold on the seat that tier opens (4.5): 20R at Associate, 18R at Associate Plus, 14R at Senior, 12R at Lead, 10R at Principal. It is static — measured from the balance you started with — and does not move up as you make profit.

1.8 The best-day rule

20% of the target · 4R at the start · the same at every tier

After each session, if that session's net result is greater than 20% of the current target, the target becomes that result divided by 0.20. The attempt is not failed and the result is not reduced — every dollar of the day counts toward the target. The bar rises instead.

  • Example at Associate: the target is $1,000 and the best day is $200. A day of +$300 raises the target to $1,500. A later day of +$400 raises it to $2,000. Every dollar of both days counts in full.
  • The target never falls back. It is never capped.
  • Loss days never affect the target.

1.9 Duration

two calendar months · about 40 trading sessions

The attempt begins on the first US trading session after your account is activated and ends at the close of the last US trading session two calendar months later. Reaching that close without having met the target ends the attempt. There is no extension.

1.10 Session, instruments and holding

  • Positions may be opened between 09:35 and 15:45 Eastern Time, on days the US equity exchanges are open. Between 15:45 and 15:50 positions may only be closed.
  • Instruments: common stock and exchange-traded products listed on NYSE, NASDAQ and NYSE American. A position may be opened only in an instrument with an average daily volume above 2,000,000 shares, a volume on the day of the trade above 300,000 shares and a market capitalisation above $200 million.
  • Intraday only. All positions must be flat by 15:50 Eastern Time. Pre-market, after-hours and overnight positions are not permitted during the qualification. Any position still open at 15:50 is closed by the system at the market price and the result counts.
  • Trading in a symbol is not permitted while it is halted, and for one minute after a halt lifts.
  • A simulated commission of $0.0015 per share ($1.50 per 1,000 shares) is charged on every fill and is deducted before any result is measured against the target, the pause, the AutoStop or the maximum loss.
  • Associate, Associate Plus and Senior have no limit on a single position, and that holds for their Test Flight and for a second attempt. At Lead and Principal a single position may not exceed 50% of buying power. The gross book stays at or below 100% of buying power, and no single name goes above 0.5% of its twenty-day median daily volume. You test under the room you would trade with.

1.11 Conduct

  • One attempt per person at a time. Opening the same or the opposite position on another account within thirty minutes is copy or wash trading and ends the attempt.
  • Placing orders with no intention of execution, or any other conduct intended to manipulate the simulated result, ends the attempt.
  • The account is yours alone. Sharing access ends the attempt.

1.12 Three consecutive losing sessions

Three consecutive sessions closing net-negative are flagged for review by the risk desk. The review does not end the attempt, does not change any limit, and does not affect the result. It exists so that a candidate in difficulty hears from someone.

1.13 Passing, review and what follows

  • The attempt passes at the close of the session in which the target is met, provided the attempt has not ended under 1.6, 1.7, 1.9, 1.10 or 1.11.
  • The risk desk reviews every passed attempt within five business days for compliance with these rules. A pass is confirmed unless a rule in this Part was broken.
  • Identity and residence verification is required before any seat is allocated.
  • A confirmed pass at Associate, Associate Plus or Senior opens the seat named in 1.2. Lead and Principal are subject to 1.14.

1.14 Lead and Principal: placement is verified

A pass at Lead or Principal does not by itself allocate a $300,000 or $600,000 seat. After you pass and before the seat is opened, we review your trading record outside this assessment. If it supports the level you bought, that seat is allocated. If it does not, you choose between the highest level it does support and a full refund of the participation fee. The criteria for this review are published separately and do not change after you have paid.

1.15 Nothing changes under you

The rules and numbers in force on the day your attempt begins apply to the whole attempt. If this page changes, the change applies only to attempts that begin after the new version's effective date.


Part 2. The Test Flight

simulated account · one month · cannot lead to a seat

2.1 What it is

$10 · one calendar month · one per person

One month on a simulated account under the full conditions of any one tier in 1.2 that you choose at purchase — the same buying power, daily pause, AutoStop, allowance, target, maximum loss and best-day rule. Every rule in Part 1 applies except 1.9 (duration is one month) and 1.13 (see 2.2).

2.2 No result can win a seat

Reaching the target in a Test Flight does not open a seat and does not count toward any qualification attempt. Nothing you trade in a Test Flight carries into an attempt. At the end of the month you receive your own figures: average daily result, how often you reached the pause, and how often the AutoStop closed you.

2.3 The discount

reach 10R inside the month → 25% off the participation fee at that tier or below

If your cumulative net result reaches half the tier's starting target — 10R — at the end of any session inside the month, without the attempt having ended under 1.6, 1.7, 1.10 or 1.11, and under the best-day rule in 1.8, you receive a discount code.

  • 25% off the participation fee for a qualification at the tier you tested or any tier below it.
  • Single use. Not transferable. Expires 60 days after issue. Not combinable with the retry price in 3.4.
  • 10R in dollars: $500 at Associate, $1,250 at Associate Plus, $3,750 at Senior, $7,500 at Lead, $15,000 at Principal.

Part 3. Fees, retries and the return

applies to every qualification attempt

3.1 The participation fee

The participation fee is the price of access to the assessment: the platform, the market data and the evaluation. It is not a deposit, not trading capital, not an investment, and not a payment for a seat, for employment or for any result. Prices are those in 1.2 and 2.1.

3.2 The fee comes back with your first payout

If you pass, take a seat under Part 4, and receive your first profit payout, the participation fee you paid for the attempt that qualified you is returned to you in full with that payout. This is a term of the trading agreement, paid by the entity that operates the seat; it is not a refund of the fee and it is not owed if no payout occurs.

3.3 No refund when an attempt ends

If your attempt ends without passing, for any reason in Part 1, the participation fee is not refunded. Where the law of your country of residence gives you a right to withdraw from a distance contract, that right is honoured as the law requires and is stated in the Refund Policy.

3.4 Retrying

one retry at half price · starting no sooner than the next calendar month · then full price

If your attempt ends without passing you may buy one further attempt at the same tier for half the participation fee, rounded down to the whole dollar. It cannot begin before the first trading session of the calendar month after the one in which your previous attempt ended. Any attempt after that is at full price.

3.5 Prices

All prices in US dollars. The retry and the code cannot be combined. Prices are those in force on the day of purchase.


Part 4. The Seat

Stage 2 · firm capital · live US equity markets

A seat is held under a separate written agreement with the group entity that provides the capital. This Part states the rules of that seat so that you can read them before you attempt the qualification. Where this Part and the seat agreement differ, the agreement prevails. Seats for recruits outside the floor's location are remote by default.

4.1 The twelve levels

Daily R 0.25%, AutoStop 0.375%, week stop 0.75% (3R), month stop 1.5% (6R), promotion 5% (20R) of buying power at every level. The allocation is 21 minus the level, in R, and never less than 10R. Five bands: Associate, Trader, Senior Trader, Lead Trader, Principal. Partner begins at $1,000,000 on individually agreed terms with no published ceiling.

4.2 Daily R, the pause and the AutoStop

pause 1R · AutoStop 1.5R · three AutoStops per calendar month, two after a losing month

The daily pause and the AutoStop work exactly as in 1.5 and 1.6. The allowance is three AutoStops per calendar month; if the previous calendar month closed net-negative it is two. Exceeding the allowance does not end the seat: your size is cut one rung (4.7) and the risk desk reviews your month.

Double risk — a 2R day — is available when the two preceding closed calendar months are both net-positive, on notice to the risk desk before the open. A double-risk day closing positive makes the option available twice more that month; one closing negative withdraws it for the month.

4.3 The week stop

3R over your trailing five sessions · 0.75% of buying power · stopped to the end of the calendar week

After each session, if the sum of your net results over the trailing five sessions is −3R or worse, you are stopped for the remaining sessions of that calendar week and resume on the following Monday at the size rung you were on before the stop. If that was full size, you return at full size: a stop never reduces your size and never restores it. The measurement is rolling — any five consecutive sessions — so a losing run that spans a weekend still counts. Your seat, your level, your allocation and your size are unchanged by a week stop.

4.4 The month stop

6R month-to-date · 1.5% of buying power · enforced during the session

When your net result for the calendar month reaches −6R, all positions are closed by the system and you do not trade again until the first session of the next calendar month, and you resume at the size rung you were on before the stop. The stop is enforced the moment the level is crossed, mid-session, so a month cannot close worse than −6R. Your seat, your level, your allocation and your size are unchanged by a month stop. You resume at full size.

4.5 The allocation, and when the seat ends

21 minus your level, in R, never less than 10R · below the best point reached at your current level

Your allocation is measured as drawdown: the distance between the highest cumulative result you have reached at your current level and where you are now. When that distance reaches your level's allocation — 20R at L1, falling one R per level to 10R at L11 and L12, as in 4.1 — the seat ends. On promotion the high-water mark is set to your result at that moment. On demotion it is set so that half the new level's allocation already counts as used. Because a month cannot cost more than 6R, reaching the allocation takes at least two losing months at Principal and four at Associate I.

There is no cascade and no second allocation. The seat also ends on a third demotion (4.9) or for a conduct breach (4.11).

4.6 Promotion

20R of net profit at your level · decided at month-end · no deadline

You accumulate net R at your level across months, with no expiry. At the end of any calendar month that closed net-positive, if your accumulator is at or above 20R, you move up one level. Anything above 20R carries to the next level. There is no clock: a level takes as long as it takes.

  • Within a band, faster routes exist — a single month of 6R with zero AutoStops and a strong points score, 11R with at most one, or 16R — each moving you one level within the band. A month of 25R or more may move two.
  • Crossing into a new band — L4 to L5, L6 to L7, L8 to L9, L10 to L11 — is on the 20R accumulator only.
  • Partner is reached at 60R accumulated at L12, on an individual contract.

4.7 Your size, and when the desk cuts it

rungs 1.00 · 0.70 · 0.50 of R · never automatic on P&L alone

You trade at full R unless the desk cuts your size. A cut is one rung, and happens only for a stated reason on the record: exceeding the AutoStop allowance, a Critical points month (4.8), or a risk-manager decision with the reason logged. A cut can never make you bigger. There is no automatic size reduction for a run of losing days.

Restoration: one rung back after ten consecutive clean sessions — no AutoStop, and the ten-session total at or above zero — and full size on any month that closes net-positive.

4.8 Points

Alongside the money rules, every session is scored on how it was traded — losing days by their size relative to your allowed size and their frequency in the month, AutoStops on their own scale, winning days positively. Points burn at month-end. A month that closes net at or above zero can never cost you your seat or your level on points, whatever the score.

  • A Critical month cuts one rung, triggers a review, and withdraws double risk for two months.
  • A Committee month — only possible in a month that also closed net-negative — sends the seat to committee.
  • Thresholds are pro-rated to the sessions actually traded that month. The full scoring table is in the seat agreement.

4.9 Demotion

two consecutive calendar months both closing net-negative · one level · at most twice

If two consecutive calendar months both close net-negative, you move down one level at the second month-end. You keep your current size rung, and you begin the lower level with half its allocation already used. A second Critical points month within six months can also demote, but only where that month itself closed net-negative; in a month that did not, a Critical score cuts your size rung and triggers a review without demoting you. An accumulated record of rule breaches can also demote. A third demotion in your time on the desk ends the seat. Demotion is never more than one level at a time.

4.10 Position limits and holding

gross book ≤ 100% of buying power

  • Levels L1 to L8 carry no limit on a single position. From L9 a single position may not exceed 50% of the buying power of the level, and that figure applies to every name alike.
  • No single-name position may exceed 0.5% of that name's twenty-day median daily volume.
  • Levels L1 to L8: intraday only, flat by the close, as in 1.10.
  • Levels L9 to L12, after six months on the desk: positions may be held overnight within the overnight caps — 20% in a Tier-1 US stock, 10% in a developed-market ADR, 20% in a sector ETF, 10% nominal in a leveraged product. Tier 2 and low-float names, capital-control-market ADRs and any name through a scheduled binary event may not be held overnight. Positions above the overnight cap are reduced by the system at 15:30 Eastern.

4.11 Conduct

The conduct rules in 1.10 and 1.11 apply on the seat. A breach is recorded; an accumulated record can demote (4.9); a serious breach ends the seat.

4.12 Payout and settlement

monthly · your share by band · above your high-water mark since the last withdrawal

Each calendar month closes, the net result is settled, and profit is shared at the band's split — 50% at Associate and Trader, 55% at Senior Trader, 60% at Lead Trader, 65% at Principal, up to 80% at Partner. Profit is shared only above your cumulative net since your last withdrawal, so losing months carry forward and are made back before the next payout. Platform, data and execution costs are deducted from P&L as set out in the seat agreement's fee schedule. Promotion, demotion, the allowance and the points score all resolve at the same month-end.

4.13 What one bad period costs you

One bad day cannot end your seat — it costs at most 1.5R. One bad week cannot — it costs at most 3R, and you return on Monday at the size you were on. One bad month cannot — it costs at most 6R, and you return next month at the size you were on. It takes at least two losing months at the top of the ladder and four at the bottom, with the desk reviewing you, to reach the allocation. A level you reach is not guaranteed: two losing months in a row move you down one, and a third demotion ends the seat.


Part 5. What is discretionary, and what is not

both stages

5.1 Never discretionary

Every number on this page. The pause, the AutoStop, the allowance, the maximum loss, the target, the best-day rule, the duration, the month stop, the allocation, the promotion threshold, the demotion trigger, the prices, the retry, the return and the discount are applied by the system as written, to everyone, without exception.

5.2 Discretionary, on the record

  • A size cut under 4.7, and its restoration. The reason is logged and shown to you.
  • The outcome of a review under 1.12, 1.13, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.8, and of a committee under 4.8.
  • Whether conduct under 1.11 and 4.11 amounts to a breach.
  • Placement under 1.14 — against criteria published before you pay.
  • Partner terms.

5.3 Changes

A change to this page carries a new version number and effective date. It applies to qualification attempts beginning after that date. It applies to an existing seat only as the seat agreement provides, with notice.


Part 6. Definitions

as used on this page

  • Buying power — The notional capital available to trade at a tier or level. Not a cash balance, and during the qualification not real money.
  • R — One unit of daily risk: 0.25% of buying power. All limits are multiples of R.
  • Session — One US regular trading day. Within the qualification, positions may be opened from 09:35 to 15:45 Eastern Time and must be flat by 15:50 (see 1.10).
  • Calendar month — A month of the Gregorian calendar, in Eastern Time. The AutoStop allowance, the month stop and settlement all use it.
  • Net result — Realised profit or loss after simulated commissions and fees, for a session, a month, or cumulatively. The simulated commission is $0.0015 per share.
  • AutoStop — The system closing all positions when a session's net result reaches −1.5R. Counted per calendar month.
  • Allowance — The number of AutoStops permitted in a calendar month before a consequence follows: two in the qualification, three on the seat.
  • Target — The cumulative net result that passes the qualification: 20R, rising under the best-day rule.
  • Best day — 20% of the current target. A session above it raises the target to that session's result divided by 0.20.
  • Maximum loss — In the qualification, the allocation of the seat the tier opens — 20R at Associate down to 10R at Principal — from the starting balance.
  • Allocation — On the seat, drawdown from the high-water mark at the current level equal to 21 minus the level in R, never less than 10R.
  • Week stop — The stop that applies when the trailing five sessions sum to −3R or worse: no trading for the rest of that calendar week.
  • High-water mark — The highest cumulative net result reached — at a level, for the allocation; since the last withdrawal, for payout.
  • Level and band — Twelve levels in five bands. A band is a payout step. Partner sits above L12.
  • Rung — Your size as a fraction of R: 1.00, 0.70 or 0.50.
  • Participation fee — The price of access to a qualification attempt or Test Flight. Not a deposit and not capital.

Version 1.0. Published by Hitomorrow Assessment Data Classification and Analysis L.L.C. The qualification is a simulated assessment; no real money is traded and no orders reach a market. A seat is provided under a separate agreement with a group entity, with execution through Hitomorrow Securities LTD, regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CIF 237/14). The qualification is not offered to residents of the United States, of the European Economic Area, of the United Kingdom, or of any sanctioned jurisdiction. Most participants do not pass. Nothing on this page is investment advice, an offer of employment, or a promise of any result. Past qualification performance is not indicative of future results. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. The Qualification Terms of Service, the Refund Policy and the Legal Disclosures form part of the contract and prevail over this page where they differ.

Qualification Terms of Service

Effective on publication | Version 1.0

These Qualification Terms of Service (the "Terms") are issued by Hitomorrow Assessment Data Classification and Analysis L.L.C, a limited liability company incorporated in the United Arab Emirates under Commercial License No. 1275729, which operates the hi2morrow platform and related assessment services (hereinafter "hi2morrow", "we", "us", or the "Company").

These Terms govern participation in any qualification or evaluation program ("Qualification Program" or "Program") offered by hi2morrow. They form part of the contractual framework with the General Terms & Conditions ("GTC"), the Terms and Conditions, the User Agreement, the Return & Refund Policy, the Legal Disclosures and Risk Warnings ("Legal Disclosures"), the Risk Disclosure Statement, the Privacy Policy, the Qualification Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy, each as published on the Website (together with these Terms, collectively, the "Governing Documents").

Incorporation by Reference. These Terms must be read together with the GTC (in particular Sections 3, 7, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 23, 24, 25 and 28) and the Legal Disclosures. In the event of any inconsistency concerning the Qualification Program, the GTC shall prevail, then these Terms, and then the Terms and Conditions. The Rules & Conditions page published on the Website states the same rules in plain language and carries the same version number and effective date as these Terms; where that page and these Terms differ, these Terms prevail. Any allocation of real firm capital, and the Real Capital Phase in its entirety, are governed exclusively by separate written agreements with the relevant group entity (Neoway Trading Ltd or Hitomorrow Securities LTD) and are outside the scope of these Terms.


1. DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

In these Terms, unless the context otherwise requires, the following words and expressions shall have the following meanings. Terms defined in the GTC or Legal Disclosures shall bear the same meaning when used herein unless otherwise defined.

Additional definitions are set out in Section 3 of the General Terms & Conditions and Section 3 of the Legal Disclosures.


2. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS AND GOVERNING DOCUMENTS

2.1 By purchasing, accessing, registering for, or participating in any Qualification Program, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms, the GTC, the Terms and Conditions, the User Agreement, the Return & Refund Policy, the Legal Disclosures, the Risk Disclosure Statement, the Privacy Policy, the Qualification Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy, as amended from time to time.

2.2 If you do not agree to any provision of these Terms or the Governing Documents, you must not purchase or participate in any Qualification Program.

2.3 These Terms constitute a binding contract between you and Hitomorrow Assessment Data Classification and Analysis L.L.C. Continued participation after any amendment constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms.


3. NATURE AND PURPOSE OF THE QUALIFICATION PROGRAM

3.1 The Qualification Programs are structured assessment mechanisms designed to evaluate participants' trading skill, discipline, consistency, risk management and decision-making quality under simulated market conditions using real-time data feeds from the US equity exchanges (the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and NYSE American).

3.2 The Qualification Program is an assessment process only. It is not a competition, does not confer any prize, title or ranking with monetary value, and does not create any right, entitlement or legitimate expectation to receive real firm capital, an allocation of firm capital, a Level, profit share, compensation, employment or any ongoing commercial relationship with hi2morrow or any group entity.

3.3 All trading activity within a Qualification Program occurs in a simulated environment. Market data is real-time, but all positions, profit and loss, Equity and Buying Power are notional. No actual securities or other financial instruments are bought, sold or otherwise dealt in, and no real market or counterparty risk is assumed by the participant or by hi2morrow.

3.4 Every tier applies the same assessment framework, expressed in the same unit of risk. What differs between tiers is the Allocated Buying Power, the resulting monetary limits, the Maximum Loss (which is the Allocation of the Level that the tier opens and which therefore falls, expressed in R, as the tier rises), and the Level at which a participant would enter the Real Capital Phase were an allocation to be offered. The Best Day Rule set out in clauses 5.6 and 5.7, the Profit Target of 20R, the Daily Pause of 1R, the AutoStop of 1.5R and the monthly AutoStop allowance are identical at every tier.

3.5 Fees paid for a Qualification Program are consideration solely for access to the assessment infrastructure, technology platform, real-time data feeds, analytics tools, evaluation processes and related services. Fees do not constitute payment for real trading capital, any guarantee of future opportunities, or any results-based compensation.

Further detail on the distinction between the Qualification Phase and the Real Capital Phase is set out in Section 5 of the Legal Disclosures and Section 16 of the General Terms & Conditions.


4. ELIGIBILITY AND REGISTRATION

4.1 To be eligible to participate in any Qualification Program you must:

  • be at least eighteen (18) years of age or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction of residence, whichever is higher;
  • provide accurate, complete and truthful information during registration and throughout the Program;
  • not be resident in, or a national of, any Restricted Jurisdiction as defined in the GTC;
  • not be subject to any sanctions, embargoes or restrictions imposed by the United Nations, European Union, United States OFAC, or any other relevant authority that would prohibit your participation;
  • not have been convicted of any offence involving fraud, financial crime, dishonesty or terrorism; and
  • comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

Restricted territories. The Services are not offered to, and may not be purchased by, any person resident in the European Economic Area or in the United Kingdom. Registration and payment are refused where the country of residence given is within those territories. The Services are also not directed to any person in any other jurisdiction where their offer or use would be contrary to local law, and it is the responsibility of each person to satisfy themselves that participation is lawful where they live.

4.2 hi2morrow reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse registration, suspend or terminate access, or disqualify any participant at any time if eligibility requirements are not met or if false, incomplete or misleading information is provided. No refund shall be due in such circumstances.

4.3 Every tier is open to any person who satisfies clause 4.1. No tier requires an application, an invitation, a prior assessment or any approval before purchase, and the participant selects the tier. The tier selected determines the Allocated Buying Power and the monetary limits set out in clause 5.13; the assessment itself is the same at every tier.

See also GTC Section 4.3 (Restricted Jurisdictions) and Section 12 (Enhanced Due Diligence).


5. QUALIFICATION PROGRAM RULES AND REQUIREMENTS

5.1 Participants must comply strictly with all rules published on the Website and in Program documentation for the specific tier purchased. The rules set out below are fundamental terms. Breach may result in immediate failure of the Qualification Program, removal of trades from performance calculations, or termination of access without refund.

5.2 Trading Hours and Position Management

Intraday Only. Trading is permitted solely during the Intraday Trading Period on each Calendar Day on which the US equity exchanges are open for regular trading. No position may be opened before 9:35 AM ET or after 3:45 PM ET, and any position still open at 3:50 PM ET is closed by the system. No overnight positions, swing trading, pre-market trading, after-hours trading or options trading is permitted under any Qualification Program.

Eligible markets and instruments. Positions may be opened only in common stock and exchange-traded products listed on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and NYSE American, and only in instruments which satisfy the liquidity criteria and the position limits in clause 5.5.

Position Closure. All open positions must be flat by 3:50 PM ET on each trading day. Any position remaining open at 3:50 PM ET is closed by the system at the market price, and the result of that closure is applied in full to the participant's performance, whether that result is a profit or a loss. Reliance on system closure is not a substitute for compliance with this clause, and repeated or deliberate reliance on it may be treated as a rule violation under Section 8.

Trading halts. No position may be opened or added to in a symbol while trading in that symbol is halted, and no position may be opened or added to in that symbol until one (1) minute after trading in it resumes. Clause 5.19 applies in full to halts and to the conduct required during and after them.

One attempt at a time. A participant may hold one active Qualification Account at any time. Opening the same position, or the opposite position, in the same instrument on another account, whether that account is the participant's own or that of a connected person, within thirty (30) minutes constitutes copy trading or wash trading. Placing an order with no intention that it be executed, and any other conduct intended to manipulate the simulated result, is likewise prohibited. Where hi2morrow determines that conduct of either kind has occurred, the attempt shall end, and clause 8.1 and the remainder of Section 8 apply to the consequences.

5.3 The Daily Pause

The daily unit of risk. The Daily Pause is 0.250 per cent of Allocated Buying Power, being one Risk Unit (1R), and applies on each trading day of an attempt. It is set at activation and holds the same monetary amount until the attempt ends. Neither a losing day nor a sequence of losing days reduces it, and no de-risking ladder or size reduction of any kind is applied to a Qualification Account. The monetary amount for each tier is set out in clause 5.13.

Effect of reaching the limit. Where the net result for the session (realised and unrealised) on a Qualification Account reaches minus one Risk Unit (−1R), the participant may open no new position and may add to no existing position for the remainder of that session. Positions already open are not closed by the operation of this clause, and the participant remains free to reduce or to close them at any time. Reaching the Daily Pause is an ordinary outcome within the Program: it is not recorded against the participant, is not of itself a rule violation, and has no effect on the Profit Target or on the time limit in clause 5.11. The Daily Pause resets in full at the opening of the next trading session.

Continued trading. Opening a new position, or adding to an existing position, after the Daily Pause has been reached constitutes a material violation. Reducing or closing an existing position after that point does not. hi2morrow's response to a violation of this clause under Section 8 shall have regard to whether the violation was isolated or was repeated or reckless, but a single violation is a material violation in either case.

The Daily Pause and the AutoStop are separate controls. The Daily Pause governs conduct: it stops new risk being taken for the remainder of the session, and nothing more. The AutoStop in clause 5.4 governs money: it is the hard limit at which the risk system closes every open position and ends the session. A position left open after the Daily Pause has been reached may continue to move against the account and may carry the session to the AutoStop, and the participant bears that outcome in full.

5.4 AutoStop

What the AutoStop does. Where aggregate loss (realised and unrealised) on a Qualification Account reaches 0.375 per cent of Allocated Buying Power (1.5R) within a single Calendar Day, the risk system shall close all open positions and the trading day shall end. No further position may be opened until the next trading day. The monetary amount for each tier is set out in clause 5.13.

Why it sits where it does. The AutoStop bounds what a single session can cost, and it is set at the same percentage of Allocated Buying Power at every Level of the Real Capital Phase, so that the risk framework a participant works to during an attempt is the framework that applies afterwards. hi2morrow does not warrant that the AutoStop will execute at or close to the stated level in all market or system conditions; clause 11.2 and Section 12 apply to its operation.

Status of an AutoStop. An AutoStop is recorded as a discrete event on the account and is not of itself a rule violation. It does not end the attempt, and trading resumes at the full Daily Pause on the next trading session.

Monthly allowance. Two (2) AutoStop events are permitted in each calendar month during an attempt, and the allowance resets to zero on the first Calendar Day of each calendar month. A third AutoStop event within the same calendar month shall end the attempt. An attempt spans two calendar months, so four AutoStop events in total may occur without ending the attempt, provided that no single calendar month contains three. The allowance during a Qualification Program is two; the allowance in the Real Capital Phase is three, and two following a calendar month which closed net-negative. The assessment is deliberately set tighter in this respect than the framework described in clause 6.5, and clauses 6.1 and 6.2 apply to that framework in full.

Relationship to the Daily Pause. The Daily Pause at 1R is the point at which no new risk may be taken for the remainder of the session; it does not close any position. The AutoStop at 1.5R is the boundary enforced by the risk system, at which every open position is closed and the session ends. An AutoStop occurring while a participant is reducing or closing positions after the Daily Pause has been reached shall not of itself constitute a violation of clause 5.3, and hi2morrow's rights under Section 8 are unaffected.

5.5 Position Sizing and Concentration

The position limit. A Qualification Program at Associate, Associate Plus or Senior, including a Test Flight and a second attempt on those tiers, carries no limit on the size of a single position or on aggregated exposure in the same underlying instrument. At Lead and Principal, and at Levels L9 to L12 in the Real Capital Phase, the maximum size of a single position, or of aggregated exposure in the same underlying instrument, is fifty per cent (50%) of Allocated Buying Power, measured at the time the position is opened or added to. That figure is a single limit and applies to every instrument alike: no price band, no instrument class and no exchange-traded fund carries a limit of its own, and no limit changes in the opening or the closing minutes of the session.

Gross exposure. The gross value of all open positions may not exceed one hundred per cent (100%) of Allocated Buying Power at any time. The number of instruments traded concurrently is not otherwise restricted.

Share count. No position in a single instrument may exceed one half of one per cent (0.5%) of that instrument's twenty-day median daily volume. Breach of any limit in this clause constitutes a material violation.

Eligible instruments. Positions may be opened only in instruments that meet the liquidity criteria published on the Website, being at the effective date of these Terms an average daily volume above two million (2,000,000) shares, a volume on the day of the trade above three hundred thousand (300,000) shares, and a market capitalisation above two hundred million United States dollars ($200,000,000). Breach constitutes a material violation.

5.6 The Best Day Rule

Tiers to which this clause applies. The Best Day Rule applies at the Associate, Associate Plus, Senior, Lead and Principal tiers alike, in the same form and on the same percentage, and applies to a Test Flight in the same way. It operates only during a Qualification Program or a Test Flight and forms no part of the Real Capital Phase. No cap of any kind is placed on the profit which a single trading session may contribute towards the Profit Target, and no tier is subject to any consistency mechanism other than the one set out in this clause. This clause and clause 5.7 state the whole of the consistency requirement applicable to a Qualification Program, and clause 7.3 and clause 14.2 govern the position of an attempt activated under earlier parameters.

The threshold. The threshold for a single session is twenty per cent (20%) of the Profit Target then in force, measured on the net result of that session after deduction of Virtual Commissions. At activation the Profit Target is 20R and the threshold is therefore 4R, being two hundred dollars ($200) at Associate, five hundred dollars ($500) at Associate Plus, one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) at Senior, three thousand dollars ($3,000) at Lead and six thousand dollars ($6,000) at Principal. Where the Profit Target has already risen under this clause, the threshold is twenty per cent (20%) of the figure to which it has risen.

Effect of exceeding the threshold. Where the net result of a session exceeds the threshold, the Profit Target for that attempt becomes the net result of that session divided by 0.20, so that the session in question represents exactly twenty per cent (20%) of the adjusted Profit Target. The attempt is not failed. No result is reduced, excluded or disregarded, and every dollar of the session counts towards the cumulative net result in full. No further fee becomes payable by reason of the adjustment, and no election of any kind falls to be made by the participant. The adjustment is applied by the system after the close of the session and takes effect immediately.

What the rule does not do. The Profit Target never falls. It is not reduced below the figure set at activation, it is not reduced from a figure to which it has already risen, and it is not capped at any level. A session which closes net-negative has no effect on the Profit Target. The purpose of the rule is to ensure that qualification demonstrates a result which a participant can repeat rather than a single unusual session: it sets the amount of profit required and removes no profit already recorded. This clause is subject to Section 8 and to clause 5.2, and does not limit any right of hi2morrow to void, exclude or disregard a trade or a session's result.

5.7 The Best Day Rule: Application

How the Profit Target is recalculated. The Best Day Rule is applied once after the close of each trading session, in the following order. The net result of the session is determined after deduction of Virtual Commissions. That result is compared with twenty per cent (20%) of the Profit Target then in force. Where the result is greater, the Profit Target is replaced by that result divided by 0.20. Where a later session exceeds twenty per cent (20%) of the Profit Target as so replaced, the calculation is performed again on the same basis. There is no limit on the number of times the Profit Target may rise during an attempt, and no attempt is ended by the operation of this clause.

Worked example at the Associate tier. The Profit Target at activation is one thousand dollars ($1,000) and the threshold is two hundred dollars ($200). A session closing at a net result of three hundred dollars (+$300) exceeds that threshold, and the Profit Target becomes one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500), the threshold becoming three hundred dollars ($300). A later session closing at a net result of four hundred dollars (+$400) exceeds the threshold in turn, and the Profit Target becomes two thousand dollars ($2,000). Both sessions count in full towards the cumulative net result, and no part of either is excluded.

The same rule at every other tier. The arithmetic is identical at every tier, because the threshold is a percentage of the Profit Target rather than a monetary amount fixed in advance. The Profit Target and the threshold at activation for each tier are set out in clause 5.13.

Passing. An attempt passes at the close of the session at which the cumulative net result stands at or above the Profit Target then in force, subject to clauses 5.9 and 5.23 and to Section 8. A session which raises the Profit Target under this clause may nevertheless be the session at which the attempt passes, where the cumulative net result at the close of that session stands at or above the raised figure.

5.8 Maximum Loss

The limit. The Maximum Loss for a tier is the Allocation of the Level which that tier opens, measured from the Starting Balance, being 20R at Associate, 18R at Associate Plus, 14R at Senior, 12R at Lead and 10R at Principal. Expressed in money, the Maximum Loss is one thousand dollars ($1,000) at Associate, two thousand two hundred and fifty dollars ($2,250) at Associate Plus, five thousand two hundred and fifty dollars ($5,250) at Senior, nine thousand dollars ($9,000) at Lead and fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) at Principal, as set out in clause 5.13.

Why the limit differs between tiers. The Allocation attaching to a Level in the Real Capital Phase is max(21 − Level, 10) expressed in R, as set out in clause 6.3. The Maximum Loss of a tier is set equal to the Allocation of the Level which that tier opens, so that a participant is assessed under the same room as would attach to that Level. It follows that the Maximum Loss is not the same multiple of R at every tier and that a higher tier is assessed under a tighter multiple, the room falling from 20R at Associate to 10R at Principal.

Static measurement. The Maximum Loss is calculated once, at activation, and does not move during an attempt. It does not follow the highest Equity reached and is not recalculated after a profitable day, so profit made during an attempt widens the distance between the account and the Maximum Loss for the remainder of that attempt. It differs in this respect from the Allocation in the Real Capital Phase, which is measured as a drawdown from the highest cumulative result reached at the current Level.

Effect. Where the cumulative decline in Equity from the Starting Balance reaches the Maximum Loss at any point, the Qualification Program shall be deemed failed automatically and the attempt shall end. A further attempt may be purchased in accordance with clause 7.4.

5.9 Profit Target

The Profit Target is 5.000 per cent of Allocated Buying Power (20R) at every tier at activation, calculated on cumulative net simulated profit after deduction of Virtual Commissions, subject to increase under clauses 5.6 and 5.7 and to the profit recognition requirements in clause 5.21. An attempt in which the cumulative net result reaches the Profit Target then in force, at the close of any trading session within the time limit in clause 5.11, without the Maximum Loss having been reached and without a third AutoStop event within a single calendar month, shall be recorded by hi2morrow as successfully completed, subject to clause 5.23 and to Section 8. Successful completion is subject in all respects to Section 6.

5.10 Virtual Commissions and Fees

A Virtual Commission of USD 0.0015 per share is applied to every simulated trade. All performance calculations, Equity and P&L are stated net of Virtual Commissions. hi2morrow may adjust the Virtual Commission rate with reasonable notice; such adjustment shall not affect an attempt already activated.

5.11 Time Limit

Each Qualification Program runs for two (2) calendar months, beginning with the first US trading session after the Qualification Account is activated and ending at the close of the last US trading session falling on or before the day of the second following month that corresponds to the date of activation or, where that month has no such day, its last day. That period contains approximately forty (40) trading sessions. Where the cumulative net result has not reached the Profit Target then in force by that close, the attempt shall end, and no extension of the period is granted by reason of the Profit Target not having been reached. A Test Flight runs for one (1) calendar month from activation, ending on the day of the following month that corresponds to the date of activation or, where that month has no such day, on its last day. Where a failure of the platform operated by hi2morrow prevents access for a material part of the period, hi2morrow shall extend that period by an equivalent period, on the terms of Section 7 of the Return & Refund Policy; that extension is a remedy for a failure of the Services and is not an extension granted at discretion. An interruption caused by the participant's own equipment, software, network configuration or internet connection, or by an event beyond hi2morrow's control, gives rise to no right to an extension, refund, re-run or compensation of any kind, and clause 11.2 and Section 12 apply.

5.12 Rules Applicable to the Real Capital Phase Only

The following controls apply in the Real Capital Phase and do not apply to any Qualification Program or to any Test Flight: the Weekly Loss Limit of 0.750 per cent of Allocated Buying Power (3R), measured over the trailing five trading sessions; the Monthly Loss Limit of 1.500 per cent of Allocated Buying Power (6R); the size rungs of 1.00, 0.70 and 0.50 of R referred to in clause 6.5; the points score by which each session is assessed; and promotion and demotion between Levels. No weekly loss limit, no monthly loss limit, no de-risking ladder, no size reduction and no behavioural points score is applied to a Qualification Account, and no result recorded during a Qualification Program is scored under the points system.

Conversely, the Best Day Rule in clauses 5.6 and 5.7 applies only during a Qualification Program or a Test Flight and forms no part of the Real Capital Phase, and the Maximum Loss in clause 5.8 is replaced in the Real Capital Phase by the Allocation, which is measured as a drawdown from the highest cumulative result reached at the current Level rather than from a starting balance.

5.13 Tier Parameters

The following parameters apply for the duration of an attempt and form part of these Terms. Every monetary figure is derived from Allocated Buying Power at the constants stated in these Terms: the Daily Pause at 0.250 per cent, the AutoStop at 0.375 per cent, the Profit Target at 5.000 per cent and the Best Day Threshold at twenty per cent (20%) of the Profit Target, being 1.000 per cent of Allocated Buying Power at activation. The Maximum Loss is the Allocation of the Level which the tier opens. No figure in the table is set by hand.

The monthly AutoStop allowance is two (2) events at every tier, and a third event within the same calendar month ends the attempt, as set out in clause 5.4. The Best Day Rule in clauses 5.6 and 5.7 applies at every tier in the same form. The Profit Target stated in the table is the figure at activation and may rise under clause 5.6; it never falls and is not capped.

Every tier in the table is open to any eligible person in accordance with clause 4.3. The Entry Level column states the Level at which a participant would enter the Real Capital Phase were an allocation to be offered, and at the Lead and Principal tiers is subject to clause 6.6. No tier confers a Level, no tier confers any entitlement to an allocation, and Section 6 applies to the column in full.

The parameters applicable to an attempt are those in force at its activation, as recorded by hi2morrow for that attempt. The table above states the parameters in force at the effective date of these Terms, and participation fees are those published on the Website at the time of purchase. It is your responsibility to review the current parameters before purchase.

TEST FLIGHT

5.14 Nature of the Test Flight

The Test Flight is a trial of the assessment environment, offered for a fee of ten dollars ($10). It provides the platform, the real-time market data and the rule set of a Qualification Program, so that a person can see how the assessment works before deciding whether to enter one. A Test Flight is not a Qualification Program. Sections 1 to 4 and 6 to 15 of these Terms apply to a Test Flight as they apply to a Qualification Program, and clause 5.15 states which rules of this Section apply to it.

5.15 Conditions and duration

Before payment the participant selects the tier on whose conditions the Test Flight is to run, being Associate, Associate Plus, Senior, Lead or Principal. The Allocated Buying Power, Daily Pause, AutoStop, monthly AutoStop allowance, Profit Target, Maximum Loss and Best Day Threshold of the selected tier then apply, and no other entry in the table at clause 5.13 applies to a Test Flight. On payment the selection is fixed and may not be changed, transferred to another tier or reallocated to another person. The Test Flight runs for one (1) calendar month from activation, and clauses 5.1 to 5.10, 5.19 to 5.22, 5.24 and 5.25 apply to it in the same way as to a Qualification Program, save that the time limit is the one stated in this clause. Clause 5.23 does not apply to a Test Flight, and clause 5.16 governs its result.

5.16 What a Test Flight confers

Completion of a Test Flight, on any result, does not confer a place in the Real Capital Phase, does not confer a Level, does not count towards the Profit Target, the elapsed time or any other parameter of a later Qualification Program, and does not create any right, entitlement or legitimate expectation of any kind against hi2morrow or any group entity. A person who wishes to be assessed must purchase and complete a Qualification Program, and a Test Flight forms no part of that assessment. Section 6 applies to a Test Flight in full. At the end of the month the participant is given their own figures for the period, being the average daily net result, the number of sessions on which the Daily Pause was reached and the number of AutoStop events recorded; those figures are a report and confer nothing. The single exception is the discount code described in clause 5.17.

5.17 The Test Flight discount code

How the code is earned. Where, at the close of any session within the month of the Test Flight, the cumulative net result reaches one half of the Profit Target of the selected tier as that target stood at activation, being ten Risk Units (10R), the Best Day Rule in clauses 5.6 and 5.7 having applied to the Test Flight throughout and the Test Flight not having ended under clause 5.2, clause 5.4, clause 5.8 or Section 8, hi2morrow shall issue a discount code worth twenty-five per cent (25%) of the participation fee. The thresholds are five hundred dollars ($500) on Associate conditions, one thousand two hundred and fifty dollars ($1,250) on Associate Plus, three thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars ($3,750) on Senior, seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) on Lead and fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) on Principal.

Terms of the code. The code applies to the participation fee of the tier whose conditions were selected for the Test Flight, or of any lower tier. Applied to the fees in clause 5.13, the code produces a price of seventy-four dollars and twenty-five cents ($74.25) at Associate, one hundred and forty-nine dollars and twenty-five cents ($149.25) at Associate Plus, four hundred and eighty-six dollars and seventy-five cents ($486.75) at Senior, eight hundred and sixty-one dollars and seventy-five cents ($861.75) at Lead and one thousand seven hundred and twenty-four dollars and twenty-five cents ($1,724.25) at Principal. It is valid for a single use, is not transferable, expires sixty (60) Calendar Days after issue, and may not be combined with the reduced fee for a second attempt under clause 7.4. The code is the only benefit a Test Flight confers, and clause 5.16 applies to every other aspect of the result.

5.18 One Test Flight per person

One Test Flight may be purchased per person. A further Test Flight purchased by the same person confers no rights of any kind; hi2morrow shall cancel it and refund the fee paid for it. The Test Flight fee is payable in advance, and Section 7 applies to it in the same way as to a Qualification Program fee.

HALTS, VOLATILITY AND PROFIT RECOGNITION

5.19 Trading Halts and Volatility

No trading during a halt. Active trading is not permitted during a trading halt. For the purposes of this clause a halt includes a pause in trading in a symbol for any reason, an automatic market-wide shutdown or other disruption on an exchange or across the market, any condition that disrupts a fair and orderly market in a symbol or market-wide, whether declared in advance or at the time by hi2morrow, and any condition in which the trading system shows a symbol as non-tradeable.

What counts as active trading. Active trading includes the execution of any order in a halted symbol and the placing of an order to open or add to a position in a halted symbol. Execution during a technically implemented halt is generally impossible; where the system inadvertently records such an execution, hi2morrow may cancel or remove the trade in question.

Resumption. Where a halt occurs, the participant must wait one (1) minute after trading resumes before opening or adding to a position in the affected symbol. There is no exception to this rule, and a position opened in breach of this clause may be removed from performance calculations.

Automatic halts. A symbol may be halted automatically and without prior notice after the asset moves by ten per cent (10%) within five (5) regular trading minutes. The participant is responsible for being aware of possible halts and for managing open positions and orders accordingly, and should be familiar with the trading halt rules of the US exchanges, including the Limit Up-Limit Down (LULD) mechanism, under which the applicable bands are set by the exchanges and vary by security.

5.20 Position Opening Restrictions

Entry after a sharp movement. No position may be opened or added to in the direction of the movement in a symbol which has moved by eight per cent (8%) within four (4) regular trading minutes.

The measurement period. The volatility measurement period covers the last two hundred and forty (240) regular trading seconds on a rolling basis at the time of entry, limited to the current trading session and excluding any halt period for the symbol and any extended trading hours.

How the restriction is applied. The restriction applies where the price is greater than or equal to 1.08 times the minimum execution price for long positions, or less than or equal to 0.92 times the maximum execution price for short positions. Entry on a retracement within the eight per cent (8%) movement is permitted, provided that the range set by this calculation is not breached.

5.21 Profit Recognition Requirements

Minimum profit on a position. For profit on a position to be counted, each position must produce at least ten (10) price ticks of profit, being a difference of ten (10) cents between the average entry price and the average exit price. By way of example, a purchase at $50.10 and a sale at $50.20 meets the minimum.

Minimum interval between executions. Between each opening or adding execution and the next closing or reducing execution during the life of a position, an interval of at least sixty (60) seconds must elapse.

Scope. The requirements in this clause apply to profit over the entire life of a position, from the opening of the trade until the position is closed in full.

Effect. Profit on a position which does not meet the requirements of this clause is retained on the Qualification Account but is not credited towards the Profit Target.

REVIEW, CONFIRMATION AND DISCRETION

5.22 Three Consecutive Losing Sessions

Three consecutive trading sessions each closing net-negative are flagged for review by the risk desk. The review does not end the attempt, does not alter any limit, parameter or recorded result, does not count towards the monthly AutoStop allowance and has no bearing on the assessment of the attempt. It exists so that a participant in difficulty is contacted by a person. A participant is under no obligation to respond to it, and no adverse inference is drawn from a failure to do so.

5.23 Confirmation of a Pass

Review of a passed attempt. Every attempt in which the cumulative net result reaches the Profit Target is reviewed by hi2morrow within five (5) business days of the close of the session at which it was reached, for compliance with this Section. A pass is confirmed unless a rule in this Section has been breached. Where a breach is found, Section 8 applies.

Verification of identity and residence. Verification of identity and of country of residence is required before any Level is allocated. Where that verification is not completed, or where it establishes that the participant was ineligible under clause 4.1 at any material time, no Level is allocated and clause 4.2 applies.

What a confirmed pass records. A confirmed pass at the Associate, Associate Plus or Senior tier is recorded against the Level stated for that tier in clause 5.13, that Level being the one at which an allocation would be made were an allocation to be offered at all. A confirmed pass at the Lead or Principal tier is subject in addition to clause 6.6. A confirmed pass is not itself an allocation and does not open one. Section 6 applies in every case in full, and a confirmed pass creates no right, entitlement or legitimate expectation to any allocation of firm capital, to any Level or to any relationship with hi2morrow or any group entity.

5.24 Matters Which Are Not Discretionary

Every parameter published in these Terms is applied by the system as written, to every participant, without exception and without variation in any individual case. This applies to the Daily Pause, the AutoStop, the monthly AutoStop allowance, the Maximum Loss, the Profit Target, the Best Day Rule and its threshold, the position limits, the time limit, the participation fees, the reduced fee for a second attempt under clause 7.4, the discount code under clause 5.17 and the return of the participation fee under clause 7.5. hi2morrow does not waive any of them and does not apply any of them more favourably or less favourably to any individual. A change to any of them takes effect only under clause 7.3 and clause 14.2 and does not affect an attempt already activated.

5.25 Matters Which Are Discretionary

The following are matters of judgment for hi2morrow, and in each case the determination and the reason for it are recorded: whether conduct flagged in a review under clause 5.22, or found in a review under clause 5.23, amounts to a breach; whether conduct amounts to a breach under clause 5.2, clause 5.19 or Section 8; the determination under clause 6.6 of the Level which a verified track record supports, made against criteria published before purchase; a reduction or restoration of size under clause 6.5, the reason for which is recorded and given to the person concerned; and the commercial terms of any arrangement above the published Levels referred to in clause 6.3. hi2morrow's determination in each such case is final and binding, subject to Section 13.


6. SIMULATED ENVIRONMENT AND NO ENTITLEMENT TO REAL CAPITAL

6.1 Successful completion of a Qualification Program does not create any right, title, interest, entitlement or legitimate expectation to receive real firm capital, an account holding firm capital, a Level, profit share, signing bonus, compensation or any form of ongoing relationship with hi2morrow or any group entity, and does not entitle you to be considered for any allocation of firm capital. Qualification is the first step of a selection process and confers nothing beyond the record of the attempt itself.

6.2 Any allocation of real firm capital, if offered at all, is granted at the sole and absolute discretion of hi2morrow and the relevant group entity (typically Neoway Trading Ltd) following separate Enhanced Due Diligence, execution of a written contractor, trader or employment agreement, and satisfaction of all applicable regulatory and fit-and-proper requirements. Such allocation and any subsequent live trading are governed exclusively by the terms of that separate agreement and not by these Terms. Each candidate is reviewed individually and the final decision rests with the Company.

6.3 The Level ladder, for information. The Real Capital Phase is organised in twelve Levels, grouped in five bands: Associate, Trader, Senior Trader, Lead Trader and Principal. A band is one step of profit share, so a promotion within a band changes Allocated Buying Power alone, while a promotion across a band may also change the profit share; the Associate band and the Trader band share a profit share of fifty per cent (50%), so the crossing from L4 to L5 changes Allocated Buying Power alone. The outline below is published for information only, may be varied or withdrawn at any time, confers no entitlement to any Level or to any allocation, and takes effect for any individual only through the separate written agreement referred to in clause 6.2.

Every figure in the table is derived from Allocated Buying Power at the same constants as apply during a Qualification Program: the Daily Pause at 0.250 per cent, the AutoStop at 0.375 per cent, the Weekly Loss Limit at 0.750 per cent, the Monthly Loss Limit at 1.500 per cent and the promotion threshold at 5.000 per cent of Allocated Buying Power. The Allocation column follows max(21 − Level, 10) expressed in R, so it falls by one R for each Level from 20R at L1 and stops falling at 10R, which L11 and L12 share.

The published ladder of profit shares ends at sixty-five per cent (65%). A profit share above sixty-five per cent (65%) is not published and arises only under individually agreed terms. Partner terms begin at Buying Power of one million dollars ($1,000,000) and may carry a profit share of up to eighty per cent (80%). The threshold for Partner terms is a cumulative net result of 60R at L12. Partner is a threshold rather than a published Level, and the commercial terms are agreed individually in each case.

6.4 The percentages in the table at clause 6.3 are shares of the net trading result on firm capital under the separate written agreement referred to in clause 6.2. They are not a rate of return and are not a projection of earnings. No sum of any kind is promised, guaranteed or implied by their publication.

6.5 The Real Capital Phase framework, for information. In the Real Capital Phase the Daily Pause, the AutoStop and the promotion threshold are calculated on the same percentages of Allocated Buying Power as during a Qualification Program, so that the risk framework a participant works to during an attempt is the framework which would apply were an allocation to be offered. The controls set out below apply in addition, and none of them forms any part of a Qualification Program.

The Weekly Loss Limit and the Monthly Loss Limit. Where the sum of net results over the trailing five trading sessions is minus three Risk Units (−3R) or worse, trading is stopped for the remaining sessions of that calendar week and resumes on the following Monday at full size. Where the net result for a calendar month reaches minus six Risk Units (−6R), open positions are closed and trading resumes at the first session of the following calendar month at full size. Neither stop changes the Level, the Allocation or the size at which a person trades.

The Allocation. The Allocation is measured as a drawdown below the highest cumulative result reached at the current Level. The high-water mark resets on a change of Level. Reaching the Allocation ends the arrangement, and there is no second allocation on that route.

The AutoStop allowance and size. The allowance is three AutoStop events in a calendar month, and two where the preceding calendar month closed net-negative. Exceeding the allowance does not end the arrangement: it reduces size by one rung and triggers a review. Size is expressed in rungs of 1.00, 0.70 and 0.50 of R. A reduction is made only for a stated reason recorded at the time, being an allowance breach, a critical month on the points score, or a decision of the risk manager; there is no automatic reduction for a sequence of losing days, and a reduction can never increase size. One rung is restored after ten consecutive clean sessions, and full size is restored in any calendar month which closes net-positive.

Promotion, demotion and the points score. Promotion is decided at the close of a calendar month which closed net-positive, on an accumulator of 20R of net profit at the current Level which carries across months without expiry, any excess carrying to the next Level; faster routes exist within a band, being a calendar month producing 6R with no AutoStop event, a calendar month producing 11R with no more than one, or a calendar month producing 16R, each of which moves the person one Level within the band, and a calendar month producing 25R or more which may move two Levels within the band; a move into a new band is on the 20R accumulator alone. The band boundaries are L4 to L5, L6 to L7, L8 to L9 and L10 to L11. Two consecutive calendar months both closing net-negative reduce the Level by one; the current size rung carries down and the lower Level begins with half of its Allocation already consumed. A third such reduction ends the arrangement. Each session is additionally scored on how it was traded, the score expiring at the close of each calendar month, and a month closing net at or above zero cannot cost a person the arrangement or the Level on that score. The scoring table, the thresholds and the consequences of a month scored as critical or referred to committee are set out in the separate written agreement referred to in clause 6.2.

Holding periods and position limits. The position limits in clause 5.5 apply. Levels L1 to L8 are intraday only and flat by the close, as during a Qualification Program. Levels L9 to L12, after six months in the Real Capital Phase, may hold positions overnight within separate caps, being twenty per cent (20%) of Allocated Buying Power in a Tier 1 US stock, ten per cent (10%) in a developed-market American Depositary Receipt, twenty per cent (20%) in a sector or single-country exchange-traded fund and ten per cent (10%) nominal in a leveraged or inverse product. Tier 2 instruments, low-float instruments, American Depositary Receipts of issuers in China, Hong Kong and other capital-control markets, and any instrument through a scheduled binary event may not be held overnight. Exposure above an overnight cap is reduced by the system at 3:30 PM ET.

All of the above takes effect for any individual only under the separate written agreement referred to in clause 6.2, and the terms of that agreement prevail over this clause.

6.6 Verification of track record at the Lead and Principal tiers. Where a Participant completes a Qualification Program purchased at the Lead or Principal tier, hi2morrow shall verify that Participant's trading track record after completion and before any Level is allocated. A pass at the Lead or Principal tier does not of itself allocate the Level stated for that tier in clause 5.13. Where the verified track record does not support the Level associated with the tier purchased, the Participant shall choose between allocation at the highest Level which the verified track record does support and the return of the full Participation Fee paid for that Qualification Program. The choice rests with the Participant, and hi2morrow shall give effect to it. The criteria applied in the verification are published on the Website before purchase and are not changed after the Participation Fee has been paid. This clause applies to the Lead and Principal tiers only, and clause 5.23 applies to a pass at every tier. A return made under this clause is a refund of the Participation Fee. Apart from a return under this clause, and the return of the Participation Fee with a first profit share under clause 7.5, which is a term of the separate written agreement rather than a refund, a Participation Fee is refunded only in exercise of the statutory rights described in Section 7 and the Return & Refund Policy.

6.7 Place of work. Where an allocation is offered, it is performed remotely by default for any person outside the location of the Company's trading floor. Neither a Qualification Program nor any allocation confers a right to attend any premises of hi2morrow or of any group entity, and nothing in these Terms is an offer of employment, of a work placement or of a place at any premises. Clause 6.1 applies in full.

See Legal Disclosures Section 4 and GTC Section 16 for full detail on the distinction between phases.


7. FEES, PAYMENT AND REFUND POLICY

7.1 All fees for Qualification Programs, including the Test Flight fee, are non-cancellable and non-refundable once the Qualification Account has been activated or any trade has been placed, except to the extent required by mandatory consumer protection legislation in your jurisdiction of residence (including any applicable cooling-off or withdrawal rights).

7.2 Fees are payable in full before access is granted. Payment is deemed received only when cleared funds are credited to hi2morrow's account.

7.3 hi2morrow reserves the right to change fees and Program parameters at any time. Such a change shall not affect an attempt already activated, which continues on the parameters recorded for it at activation.

7.4 Second and subsequent attempts. One attempt is included in the participation fee. Where that attempt ends before the Profit Target is reached, a second attempt at the same tier may be purchased at one half of the participation fee for that tier, rounded down to the whole dollar, being $49 at Associate, $99 at Associate Plus, $324 at Senior, $574 at Lead and $1,149 at Principal. A second attempt may be started no earlier than the calendar month following the month in which the previous attempt ended. Each further attempt is purchased at the full participation fee for the tier. The reduced fee may not be combined with a discount code issued under clause 5.17.

7.5 Return of the participation fee. Where a participant is allocated firm capital under the separate written agreement referred to in clause 6.2, the participation fee paid for the Qualification Program that preceded the allocation is returned to that person with the first profit share settled under that agreement. The participation fee is retained by hi2morrow in every other case. This clause does not create any right or expectation of an allocation, and Section 6 applies to it in full.

7.6 Initiation of an unjustified chargeback or dispute may result in immediate termination of access, forfeiture of all progress and eligibility, and denial of future services at hi2morrow's discretion.

See also GTC Section 9 (Payment Terms) and Section 10.6 (cooling-off rights where applicable).

9. DATA COLLECTION, MONITORING AND USAGE

9.1 By participating in a Qualification Program you acknowledge that hi2morrow (and its group entities) collect, record, monitor, store and analyse all trading activity, order flow, behavioural patterns, journal entries, session data, device and IP information, and any other data generated during the Program. That processing is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and hi2morrow and rests, so far as it goes beyond what that performance requires, on hi2morrow's legitimate interest in operating an assessment which cannot be manipulated and in defending claims. Participation is not conditional on consent to monitoring, and the legal basis for each category of processing is set out in the Privacy Policy.

9.2 Such data may be used for:

  • evaluation of your performance, skill, discipline and risk management;
  • improvement and validation of assessment methodologies;
  • compliance, risk management and anti-abuse purposes;
  • sharing with group entities (including Neoway Trading Ltd and Hitomorrow Securities LTD) for the purpose of considering eligibility for real capital allocation programmes; and
  • aggregated or anonymised analytics and product development.

9.3 You acknowledge that you have no right to compensation or remuneration in respect of any such use of data. The records, analytics and derived materials generated by hi2morrow from the Program remain the exclusive property of hi2morrow. Personal data is not the subject of ownership by either party: it is processed on the terms of the Privacy Policy and of applicable data protection law, and your rights as a data subject are unaffected by this clause.

Processing of personal data is governed by the Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. See also GTC Section 18.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hi2morrow does not warrant that the platform, the data feed or any risk control described in Section 5 will be available without interruption or will operate at any particular level in all market or system conditions.


12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY

12.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, hi2morrow and its group entities, officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall have no liability to you or any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, data, opportunity, goodwill or anticipated savings, whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

12.2 Where liability is established by a competent court or authority, the aggregate liability of hi2morrow and all group entities combined in connection with these Terms or any Qualification Program shall not exceed the total fees actually paid by you for the specific Qualification Program giving rise to the claim. This cap applies regardless of the number of claims or causes of action and constitutes your sole and exclusive remedy, save as provided in clause 12.3.

12.3 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by mandatory applicable law.

12.4 You agree to indemnify and hold harmless hi2morrow and its group entities from and against all claims, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, expenses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with your breach of these Terms, misuse of the Services, violation of applicable law, or any conduct during participation in a Qualification Program.
