Rules that can fail you
- Intraday trailing drawdown
- The loss floor trails your peak in real time, including open profit. A trade that runs green and comes back can fail you even on a winning day.
- floor tracks max drawdown of $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,000
- EOD trailing drawdown
- The loss floor moves up with your end-of-day balance high — never intraday. A green day that retraces before the close cannot fail you.
- floor tracks max drawdown of $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,000
- 50% consistency rule
- No single day may exceed 50% of total profit when you request a payout. Plan your sizing so one big day doesn't trap the account.
- Minimum trading days
- 1 trading day required before payout eligibility.
Rules in your favor
- No daily loss limit on 4 plans
- A bad morning can't end the account by itself — only the max drawdown floor applies.
- 100% profit split
- 100% of every approved payout; no tiered split
