Reset Accounts
A reset gives an eligible breached Training Account a fresh Training attempt. FairTicks currently supports a standard Paid Reset for eligible account families and a special one-time Free Reset for eligible Discipline Training Accounts.
Reset restores the active Training state for a new attempt, but it does not erase the account's historical record. Previous positions, breach events, reset events, and lifecycle history remain available for audit, account history, and support review.
Reset in one sentence
Standard reset requires an eligible
BREACHED
Training Account.
It does not apply to active Training Accounts,
Qualified Accounts,
Free Trials,
or current standard Rapid Accounts.
Paid Reset vs Free Reset
Paid Reset and Free Reset both restore an eligible breached Training Account, but the economics and lifecycle consequences are different.
| Path | What it does | Capital | Expiration | Future Qualified effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paid Reset | Starts a fresh Training attempt after an eligible breach. | Uses the same supported account family and capital tier. | Refreshes the Training validity from the reset date using the current template. | Does not create the Free Reset 50 / 50 rule by itself. |
| Discipline Free Reset | Gives one eligible Discipline Account a fresh attempt without purchasing a reset. | Uses the official Discipline downgrade mapping. | Keeps the existing expiration date. | Future Qualified Account uses 50% trader / 50% FairTicks and does not use the standard QPD Reward Share ladder. |
| Extension | Adds time to an eligible account without creating a fresh Trading attempt. | Does not change capital. | Updates the expiration date. | No Free Reset split consequence. |
Reset is for an eligible breached Training Account. Extension is for an eligible active or expired Training Account that needs more time. A breached account cannot use the standard extension flow.
Which current account families support reset?
| Account family | Paid Reset | Free Reset | Current standard behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rapid | Not available | Not available | Rapid is a fixed 15-day one-shot Training model. |
| Classic | Available when eligible | Not available | Paid Reset products currently exist for 10K, 25K, 50K, and 100K Classic. |
| Discipline | Available when eligible | Available when eligible | Paid Reset products currently exist for 10K, 25K, 50K, and 100K. Discipline is also the only standard family with the one-time Free Reset pathway. |
| Instinct | Available when eligible | Not available | Paid Reset is supported for the current Instinct 50K structure. |
| Free Trial | Not available | Not available | Free Trials use a separate unused-trial restart pathway where eligible. |
| Qualified / Straight | Not available | Not available | Qualified-stage accounts do not use the Training reset system. |
Paid Reset eligibility
The current Paid Reset flow applies only when the backend eligibility conditions are satisfied.
- The account must be a Training / DEMO Account.
-
The account status must be
BREACHED. - The account must not currently be expired.
- The account must not be a Free Trial.
- The account must not be Rapid.
- The selected Paid Reset product must match both the account family and capital.
- The Paid Reset limit must not have been reached.
- No open position may remain on the account.
An eligible Training Account can currently use up to 3 Paid Resets.
FairTicks validates both the account family and account capital against the selected Paid Reset product. A reset product for a different family or account size is rejected.
Paid Reset starts a fresh Training attempt
Paid Reset does not continue the breached attempt. It creates a fresh Training attempt on the same account lifecycle.
The current account template is used to refresh the Training rules and progression configuration.
new expiration
= reset date + current template validity
Remaining time from the breached attempt is not added on top of the fresh reset period.
Reset date: June 25
Current standard Classic validity: 30 days
New Training attempt: starts from June 25
The previous attempt's remaining days are not carried over.
Paid Reset validity by current standard family
| Family | After eligible Paid Reset |
|---|---|
| Classic | Fresh 30-day Training validity from the reset date. |
| Discipline | Fresh 30-day Training validity from the reset date. |
| Instinct | Restored using the current Instinct template. Publicly, current standard Instinct has No practical expiry. |
FairTicks describes the current Instinct lifecycle publicly as No practical expiry. Do not rely on an old 365-day description.
What Paid Reset restores
Paid Reset refreshes the Training attempt using the current official template for that family and tier.
| Area | After Paid Reset |
|---|---|
| Account status |
Returns to
ACTIVE.
|
| Capital | Restored to the selected account template capital. |
| Balance | Restored to starting capital. |
| Equity | Restored to starting capital. |
| Highest equity | Restored to starting capital. |
| Realized PnL | Reset to 0 for the fresh attempt. |
| Unrealized PnL | Reset to 0. |
| Daily Loss state | Reinitialized from the current template where Daily Loss is enabled. |
| Maximum Loss state | Reinitialized from starting capital where Maximum Loss is enabled. |
| Trailing Drawdown state | Reinitialized where Trailing Drawdown is enabled. |
| Profit target progress | Reset. |
| Training days | Reset to 0. |
| Training Consistency state | Reinitialized for the new attempt according to the current template. |
| Training performance counters | Reinitialized for the new attempt. |
| Total commissions for the attempt | Reset to 0. |
| Current exposure | Reset to 0. |
| Contract-card availability | Restored from the current account template. |
| Expiration | Fresh validity from the reset date using the current template. |
Historical records are not deleted
A fresh attempt does not mean the previous account history disappears.
FairTicks preserves historical information such as:
- previous closed positions;
- previous breach information;
- previous reset events;
- reset timestamps;
- Paid Reset usage;
- Free Reset usage, when applicable; and
- account lifecycle audit events.
The new attempt uses a new performance-cycle context so new statistics do not need to be mixed with the previous breached attempt, while historical records remain available.
Discipline Free Reset
Free Reset is a special one-time Discipline-only pathway.
It is designed for a trader who made a meaningful Training attempt before breaching and satisfies the required activity conditions.
The current Free Reset flow rejects Rapid, Classic, Instinct, Free Trial, and Qualified-stage accounts.
Free Reset eligibility
Before Free Reset can be applied, the account must satisfy the hard lifecycle conditions.
| Condition | Current standard requirement |
|---|---|
| Account stage | Training / DEMO only. |
| Family | Discipline only. |
| Status |
Must be
BREACHED.
|
| Expiration | Account must still have a valid future expiration date. |
| Free Trial | Not eligible. |
| Previous Free Reset | Must not already have used Free Reset. |
| Trading activity | Must satisfy the Free Reset activity policy. |
| Reset tier | A valid active Discipline template must exist for the mapped capital tier. |
| Open positions | No open positions may remain. |
Free Reset activity requirement
The current activity test looks at officially closed positions.
The account needs at least 5 valid trading days. Each qualifying day must contain at least 3 closed trades, and each of those trades must have lasted at least 30 seconds.
Day 1: 3 qualifying trades
Day 2: 3 qualifying trades
Day 3: 3 qualifying trades
Day 4: 3 qualifying trades
Day 5: 3 qualifying trades
Every counted trade lasted at least 30 seconds.
Result: the activity portion can be complete.
Calendar trading days: 5
Days containing at least 3 qualifying 30-second trades: 3
Result: only 3 / 5 valid Free Reset trading days have been completed.
How a Free Reset trading day is counted
For this specific Free Reset eligibility rule:
- FairTicks evaluates closed positions.
- A counted trade must have a duration of at least 30 seconds.
- The trade is associated with the FairTicks trading day in which it closes.
- At least 3 qualifying trades are needed for that day to count.
- At least 5 such days are required.
Do not confuse the Free Reset activity test with Qualified Profit Days, Training Consistency, or the standard Training minimum-day requirement.
Free Reset capital mapping
Free Reset does not normally preserve a higher Discipline account size. It applies the current downgrade mapping.
| Discipline capital before Free Reset | Capital after Free Reset |
|---|---|
| $100,000 | $50,000 |
| $50,000 | $25,000 |
| $25,000 | $10,000 |
| $10,000 | $10,000 |
Free Reset requires an active Discipline template for the mapped capital. If the mapped template is unavailable, the reset cannot be applied.
The mapped tier becomes the new Training attempt
Free Reset does more than replace the balance number. FairTicks refreshes the attempt using the active Discipline template for the mapped tier.
This can include the mapped tier's:
- starting simulated capital;
- profit target;
- Daily Loss limit;
- Maximum Loss limit;
- risk-per-trade setting;
- contract-card allocation;
- maximum exposure;
- Training Consistency policy;
- future Qualified payout-rule snapshot; and
- other current template controls.
What Free Reset restores
| Area | After Free Reset |
|---|---|
| Account status |
ACTIVE
|
| Capital | Restored to the mapped Discipline tier. |
| Balance and equity | Restored to mapped starting capital. |
| Highest equity | Restored to mapped starting capital. |
| Realized / unrealized PnL | Reset to 0 for the new attempt. |
| Daily Loss state | Reinitialized from the mapped Discipline template. |
| Maximum Loss state | Reinitialized from mapped capital and the mapped template. |
| Profit target progress | Reset using the mapped template targets. |
| Training days | Reset to 0. |
| Training Consistency | Reinitialized using the current mapped template. |
| Current exposure | Reset to 0. |
| Contract cards | Restored from the mapped template. |
| Attempt commissions | Reset to 0. |
| Expiration | Kept unchanged. |
| Free Reset flag | Permanently marked as used for this account. |
Free Reset does not add time
Free Reset keeps the account's existing expiration date.
expiration after Free Reset
= expiration before Free Reset
Expiration before Free Reset: June 30
Free Reset date: June 20
Expiration after Free Reset: June 30
Free Reset can restore the Trading attempt, but it does not give the account a new 30-day window.
Expired accounts and reset
An expired account is not eligible for the standard reset flows.
The available next action depends on the account's actual lifecycle state.
FairTicks does not promise a sequence where every expired
account can simply be extended and then reset.
The standard extension flow itself blocks
BREACHED
accounts.
Always use the action currently shown
for the selected account in the dashboard.
Free Reset and future Qualified Reward Share
Free Reset has a permanent effect if that Training Account later passes and generates a Qualified Account.
50% trader / 50% FairTicks
Source family: Discipline
Standard Discipline starting Reward Share: 85%
Free Reset used: Yes
Future Qualified trader share: 50%
Future FairTicks share: 50%
No standard QPD Reward Share ladder after Free Reset
The current Qualified-generation logic does more than change the initial split to 50 / 50.
For a Qualified Account generated from a Free Reset Training Account, the standard QPD Reward Share progression is disabled.
Do not tell traders that a Free Reset Qualified Account begins at 50% and can later climb through the normal Discipline 85% → 90% → 95% → 100% ladder. Under the current implementation, that standard ladder is not enabled for the Free Reset Qualified configuration.
Does a later Paid Reset remove the Free Reset consequence?
No. Free Reset usage remains attached to the Training Account after it has been used.
A later Paid Reset does not remove the Free Reset flag.
If Free Reset was used before Qualified generation, the future Qualified Account remains subject to the special Free Reset economics.
Does Free Reset use one of the three Paid Resets?
Free Reset has its own dedicated one-time flag.
The current Free Reset flow does not increment the Paid Reset counter used by the standard three-Paid-Reset limit.
Paid Resets used: 0 / 3
Free Reset used: No
Eligible Free Reset is applied.
Free Reset used: Yes
Paid Reset usage remains tracked independently.
Can Paid Reset be used after Free Reset?
It can still be possible if the Training Account later breaches again and satisfies the standard Paid Reset conditions.
However:
- the account must still be reset-eligible;
- the Paid Reset limit must not have been reached;
- the matching Paid Reset product must exist; and
- the previous Free Reset flag remains preserved.
Why Rapid cannot be reset
Current standard Rapid is intentionally a fixed-window one-shot Training model.
Rapid is therefore blocked from both Paid Reset and Free Reset.
After a Rapid breach, a new Rapid evaluation is the standard new-attempt path.
Why Classic does not have Free Reset
Classic supports Paid Reset where eligible, but the special Free Reset pathway is reserved for Discipline.
The Discipline Free Reset is designed as a specific lifecycle trade-off:
- meaningful activity is required;
- it is available only once;
- capital follows the downgrade mapping;
- the expiration date is not extended;
- future Qualified economics become 50 / 50; and
- the standard QPD Reward Share ladder is disabled.
Free Trials use a different restart system
Free Trials cannot use:
- Paid Reset;
- Discipline Free Reset; or
- standard paid extension.
Instead, an unused Free Trial can have a separate Restart Free Trial lifecycle where eligible.
An eligible Free Trial can receive one additional 7-day restart if the trial reached expiration without ever creating a position and the restart has not already been used.
Restart Free Trial is a separate trial lifecycle action. It must not be counted as a Paid Reset or Discipline Free Reset.
Qualified Accounts cannot use Training Reset
Qualified / Straight Accounts do not use the Training Reset system.
If a Qualified Account breaches, standard Paid Reset and Discipline Free Reset do not reactivate that Qualified Account.
Paid Reset flow

- Paid Reset usage is incremented.
-
The account returns to
ACTIVE.
Discipline Free Reset flow
-
A Discipline Training Account reaches
BREACHED. - FairTicks confirms the account has not already used Free Reset.
- FairTicks confirms the account has not expired.
- FairTicks verifies at least 5 qualifying activity days.
- Each counted day must contain at least 3 qualifying trades of at least 30 seconds each.
- FairTicks determines the mapped Discipline capital tier.
- FairTicks verifies an active template exists for that mapped tier.
- The fresh Training attempt is initialized from the mapped template.
- The existing expiration date is preserved.
- The account is permanently marked as having used Free Reset.

ACTIVE.
Example 1 — Paid Reset on Classic 50K
Account family: Classic
Capital: $50,000
Status:
BREACHED
Expired: No
Paid Resets used: 1 / 3
Open positions: 0
Correct reset product: Classic 50K Reset
Result: Paid Reset can be processed if all remaining checks pass.
Example 2 — Discipline 100K Free Reset
Original capital: $100,000
Status:
BREACHED
Free Reset used before: No
Required activity: Complete
Original expiration: June 30
New capital: $50,000
New expiration: still June 30
Future Qualified economics: 50% trader / 50% FairTicks
Example 3 — Discipline 50K Free Reset
Original capital: $50,000
Free Reset target: $25,000 Discipline
The fresh attempt uses the current 25K Discipline template while keeping the account's existing expiration date.
Example 4 — Discipline 25K Free Reset
Original capital: $25,000
Mapped capital: $10,000
Required 10K Discipline template: must be active
Result: the account receives a fresh 10K Discipline Training state while keeping the previous expiration date.
Example 5 — Discipline 10K Free Reset
Original capital: $10,000
Mapped capital: $10,000
Result: the account remains at the lowest supported 10K Discipline tier but receives a fresh Trading attempt.
Expiration: unchanged
Future Qualified economics: 50 / 50
Example 6 — expired account
Account status:
EXPIRED
Result: standard Reset is not available.
Next step: review the account's available lifecycle actions in the dashboard.
Common mistakes to avoid
| Mistake | Correct understanding |
|---|---|
| Thinking active accounts can be reset |
Standard reset requires
BREACHED.
|
| Thinking Rapid can be reset | Current standard Rapid has no Paid Reset or Free Reset. |
| Thinking Paid Reset preserves remaining days | Paid Reset starts fresh template validity from the reset date. |
| Thinking Instinct resets to a public 365-day lifecycle | Current public Instinct wording is No practical expiry. |

Common questions
Can I reset an active Training Account?
No.
Standard reset requires an eligible
BREACHED
Training Account.
Can I reset an expired account?
No directly. Expired accounts are not eligible for the standard Reset flows. Check the account's available lifecycle action in the dashboard.
Can I extend a breached account and then reset it?
Do not rely on that sequence.
The current standard extension flow rejects
BREACHED
accounts.
Can I use Free Reset on Classic?
No. Free Reset is currently reserved for Discipline Training Accounts.
Can I use Free Reset on Instinct?
No. Current standard Instinct supports Paid Reset where eligible, not Discipline Free Reset.
Can Rapid be reset?
No. Current standard Rapid has no reset pathway.
How many Paid Resets can I use?
The current standard maximum is 3 Paid Resets per eligible Training Account.
How many times can I use Discipline Free Reset?
Once per eligible account.
What activity is required for Discipline Free Reset?
At least 5 qualifying trading days, with at least 3 qualifying closed trades per day, each lasting at least 30 seconds.
Does Free Reset consume one of the three Paid Resets?
No under the current implementation. Free Reset uses its own one-time flag while the Paid Reset counter is tracked separately.
Can I use Paid Reset after Free Reset?
It can still be possible after another breach if the account remains eligible and the Paid Reset limit has not been reached.
Does Paid Reset remove my previous Free Reset?
No. The Free Reset flag remains attached to the account.
Why did my capital decrease after Free Reset?
Discipline Free Reset follows the current mapping: 100K → 50K, 50K → 25K, 25K → 10K, and 10K → 10K.
Why did my expiration date stay the same after Free Reset?
Because Free Reset restores the Training state but deliberately does not extend account validity.
Why is my future Qualified Reward Share 50 / 50?
Because the source Discipline Training Account used the Free Reset pathway before Qualified generation.
Can the 50 / 50 Free Reset Qualified Account later reach 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100%?
Not through the standard QPD Reward Share ladder under the current Free Reset Qualified configuration. That standard ladder is disabled for this special lifecycle.
Can I reset a Free Trial?
No. Free Trials cannot use standard Paid Reset or Discipline Free Reset.
Can an unused Free Trial be restarted?
Yes, where eligible. The current standard unused-trial pathway allows one additional 7-day restart for an expired Free Trial that never created a position and has not already used its restart.
Can I reset a Qualified Account?
No. Qualified / Straight Accounts do not use the Training reset system.
Does Reset erase old trades?
No. The fresh attempt reinitializes the active Training state, while historical account records remain preserved.
Why is the Reset action unavailable?
Possible reasons include: the account is not breached, is expired, is Rapid, is a Free Trial, is not a Training Account, has reached the Paid Reset limit, has already used Free Reset, does not satisfy Free Reset activity, does not have a matching reset product or mapped template, still has an inconsistent open position, or otherwise fails the account-specific reset checks.
Summary
Paid Reset and Discipline Free Reset both create fresh Training attempts, but they are deliberately different products.
Paid Reset:
- applies to eligible breached Classic, Discipline, and Instinct Training Accounts;
- is not available on Rapid;
- has a current maximum of 3 Paid Resets;
- restores the supported same account tier;
- refreshes the Training attempt from the current template; and
- gives fresh template validity from the reset date.
Discipline Free Reset:
- is available once per eligible account;
- requires 5 qualifying activity days;
- requires at least 3 qualifying 30-second trades on each counted day;
- applies the 100K → 50K → 25K → 10K capital mapping, with 10K remaining 10K;
- keeps the existing expiration date;
- permanently marks the account as having used Free Reset;
- makes the future Qualified split 50% trader / 50% FairTicks; and
- disables the standard QPD Reward Share ladder on that future Qualified configuration.
Paid Reset gives an eligible breached account a fresh same-tier Training attempt; Discipline Free Reset gives one qualified extra chance through the official downgrade mapping, keeps the existing deadline, and permanently changes the future Qualified economics.
Paid Reset restores the attempt. Free Reset changes the future economics.
Paid Reset keeps the supported family and capital tier and refreshes Training from the current template. Discipline Free Reset is a one-time downgrade pathway that preserves the current expiration date and creates a permanent 50 / 50 future Qualified configuration.
Not sure why Reset is available or blocked?
Check the account family, status, expiration state, capital, Paid Reset count, Free Reset status, Free Reset activity, and available account actions first. If something still appears incorrect, contact FairTicks Support with your account number and relevant screenshots.
