# Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often.
***
What payment methods are available?
For Challenge payments we accept **USDT or USDC**, on these networks: ERC-20, TRC-20, BEP-20, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Solana. See [How to buy a Challenge](/hashhedge-user-guide/start-here/buy-challenge.md).
Can I take part in several Challenges at once?
Yes, up to the **Trader** stage. On **Trader** you can trade only one Challenge of each denomination (account size); a passed Challenge that has to wait gets the **Trader Transition** status. See [Rules, stages and loss limits](/hashhedge-user-guide/rules/challenge-rules.md) and [Your accounts and stages](/hashhedge-user-guide/account-and-payouts/accounts-stages.md). Denominations are counted per market: a $100,000 US Stocks Challenge and a $100,000 Crypto + TradFi Challenge are different denominations, so both can trade at the Trader stage.
What rules must I follow during a Challenge?
Stay within the daily and total loss limits and reach each stage's profit target. Arbitrage and manipulation are forbidden; any other strategy is allowed. See [Rules, stages and loss limits](/hashhedge-user-guide/rules/challenge-rules.md).
What happens if I exceed a loss limit?
If any loss limit is exceeded, the Challenge is permanently failed, unless you use Daily Loss Protection or a Daily Loss Reset, which cover the daily limit. See [Rules, stages and loss limits](/hashhedge-user-guide/rules/challenge-rules.md).
How is the daily loss limit calculated?
Daily loss = current Equity − Balance at the start of the day. **Balance** is your account after all closed positions and fees; **Equity** includes open positions too. The daily limit updates at **00:00–00:10 UTC+4** on a Crypto + TradFi account, and at **08:00–08:10 UTC+4** on a US Stocks one. See [How the daily loss limit is calculated](/hashhedge-user-guide/rules/daily-loss-calculation.md).
Do open positions affect the loss limits?
Yes. Open positions (unrealized profit and loss) are part of Equity, so they directly affect your limits. See [How the daily loss limit is calculated](/hashhedge-user-guide/rules/daily-loss-calculation.md).
What is the maximum leverage?
Leverage of up to **1:5** is available. See [Adjusting leverage](/hashhedge-user-guide/trading-terminal/leverage.md).
Is Stop Loss mandatory?
No. But you must stay within the loss limits. If a limit is hit, positions are force-closed and the Challenge ends, unless you use Daily Loss Protection or a Daily Loss Reset, which cover the daily limit. See [Rules, stages and loss limits](/hashhedge-user-guide/rules/challenge-rules.md).
Can I keep positions open for several days?
On a Crypto + TradFi account, yes: just watch the loss limits, because open positions count toward them. On a US Stocks account, no: every position is closed automatically at the end of the trading day. See [Trading US Stocks](/hashhedge-user-guide/trading-terminal/stocks-terminal.md).
Can I trade on weekends or during major news?
Yes. We don't restrict trading during news events or on weekends.
Is spot trading available?
Not for crypto. On a Crypto + TradFi account you trade futures; on a US Stocks account you trade US stocks with leverage. See [Trading US Stocks](/hashhedge-user-guide/trading-terminal/stocks-terminal.md).
Can I trade in different margin modes at the same time?
No. You can use either Cross or Isolated margin at a time. To switch, first close all positions and limit orders in the current mode. See [Margin mode: Isolated and Cross](/hashhedge-user-guide/trading-terminal/margin-mode.md).
I passed the Challenge. What's next?
You get a funded account where you trade the company's capital and keep 80% of the profit, or 90% if you added the +10% Profit Split option when buying that Challenge. The switch to the **Trader** stage is immediate. See [Becoming a Trader](/hashhedge-user-guide/rules/becoming-a-trader.md).
What is a trading day?
Any day on which you opened at least one position. Opening on one day and closing on another still counts as one trading day, and each stage of the Two-stage Challenge needs a **minimum of 5**, the One-stage Challenge **3**. See [Rules, stages and loss limits](/hashhedge-user-guide/rules/challenge-rules.md).
Are there withdrawal limits?
Yes: you can withdraw 80% of your profit (90% with Profit Split) every 14 days; the maximum is $10,000 per account per 14 days, and the minimum is $100. See [Profit share and payouts](/hashhedge-user-guide/account-and-payouts/profit-payouts.md).
