Rules that can fail you
- 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 $500 / $1,500 / $2,500 / $2,000 / $5,000 / $3,500 / $4,500
- Static drawdown
- The loss floor is fixed at the starting balance minus the drawdown — it never moves. Simple, but there is no extra room after good days.
- floor tracks max drawdown of $500 / $1,000 / $2,000 / $5,000
- 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 $2,000 / $3,000 / $5,000 / $6,500
- 40% consistency rule
- No single day may exceed 40% of total profit when you request a payout. Plan your sizing so one big day doesn't trap the account.
- Minimum trading days
- 3–5 (varies by plan) trading days required before payout eligibility.
Rules in your favor
- No daily loss limit on 13 plans
- A bad morning can't end the account by itself — only the max drawdown floor applies.
- No consistency rule on 15 plans
- One big day can be your whole profit — payouts aren't gated on how evenly you earned.
- No activation fee on 2 plans
- Funding starts without a second purchase after passing.
- 100% profit split
- 100% of sim-funded profits up to $25,000 cap, then Live Elite at 80/20
