Illustration representing a prop firm's new evaluation model with fewer trading restrictions.
01 What happened

Several rules removed, one explicitly kept.

Hola Prime has launched Prime X, a new 2-step challenge model aimed at traders seeking fewer restrictions than the firm's standard challenge structure. The new model removes several named rules while explicitly keeping one: a 10% max loss limit.

Hola Prime describes Prime X as designed for traders seeking fewer restrictions. Compared to the firm's existing challenge structure, Prime X removes the risk rule, the mandatory stop loss requirement, the 10-minute re-entry rule, and the profit concentration rule. The 10% max loss limit is explicitly retained.

Hola Prime's own published rules page lists 2-Step Prime X alongside 2-Step Pro and Direct as account type options, spanning sizes from $2K to $300K, corroborating Prime X as a genuine, integrated part of the firm's current product lineup rather than a standalone promotional item.

Comparing how firms structure their risk rules across evaluation models is worth doing anywhere. Apex Trader Funding is another established futures firm worth comparing on documented terms, currently running a discount on evaluation fees.

02 Confirmed

What is confirmed, and what isn't.

The Prime X launch and its stated removal of the risk rule, mandatory stop loss, 10-minute re-entry rule, and profit concentration rule, alongside the retained 10% max loss limit, are confirmed via a dated report on PropScorer's live feed. Prime X's existence as a current account type option is independently corroborated on Hola Prime's own published rules page. We could not locate a direct statement from Hola Prime detailing the full rule set for Prime X beyond what's covered here, including pricing, profit targets, and minimum trading day requirements specific to this model.

03 Why this matters

Why this matters.

Removing the mandatory stop loss and the re-entry restriction is a meaningfully different trading experience than most challenge structures offer, these rules typically exist to enforce specific risk-management behaviour during evaluation.

Worth keeping in mind

A trader considering Prime X should understand that fewer restrictions during the evaluation phase doesn't necessarily mean less risk overall, the 10% max loss limit still applies as a hard boundary, and removing structural guardrails shifts more responsibility onto the trader's own discipline.

We will update this piece if Hola Prime publishes full Prime X pricing and rule details beyond what's covered here.
