# Where the real rules live (and what this help center is)

Trading Rules is the full contract. FAQ is short answers. This help center is the how-to for buttons and MetaTrader. If they ever disagree, the contract pages win.

## Step 1: Open the contract, then the short FAQ

Open [Trading Rules](https://smpfund.com/trading-rules). Use the section buttons to jump to risk, news, payouts, and similar chapters. That is what the risk engine follows.

Open [FAQ](https://smpfund.com/faq) for short checkout and drawdown questions.

Open [Payout info](https://smpfund.com/payout-info) for profit split in marketing language; your live eligibility is still [Payouts](https://smpfund.com/account/payouts).

Company legal pages sit under [Legal](https://smpfund.com/legal). This [Help center](https://smpfund.com/help) never replaces the contract — it only shows which button to press.

## Related guides

- [News calendar and yellow/red flags (beginner)](https://smpfund.com/help/news-and-flags): Restricted news windows follow the clock at the top of the panel, not your phone. Trading inside a news window is never a yellow or red flag: on Prime/Rapid only 40% of that profit counts, and on Instant it is not credited. Yellow and red flags come from other rules — confirm your program on Trading Rules.
- [Request a payout when you have never withdrawn](https://smpfund.com/help/payouts): Payouts are your profit share in crypto after funded rules (and KYC). Save a wallet first, wait until the panel says you are eligible, then submit. A wrong network can lose the coins forever.
- [Public pages you can read before you buy](https://smpfund.com/help/public-info-pages): These pages do not need a login. They explain the journey, brokers, platforms, scaling, rankings, and headlines. Live trading risk still uses the in-panel news calendar after you have an account.
