📋 Additional Rules
Daily Loss Limit is a soft breach - hitting it auto-closes open trades and temporarily disables the account until the next trading day. One-phase evaluation - reach the profit target while respecting drawdown, then undergo final review before becoming a Funded Trader. No monthly subscription or activation fee. Reset fee if breached: $141. Stop Loss is not mandatory but strongly encouraged; martingale/loss-recovery strategies and "all-in" sizing may trigger account review. Copy trading allowed only between accounts you personally own. Microscalping restricted: less than 50% of total profit may come from trades held under 10 seconds.

📋 Additional Rules
Payout cap: $2,500 on your 1st payout, $3,000 on 2nd+ payouts. Trailing drawdown locks once your EOD balance reaches $52,100, becoming your permanent max loss limit. After any payout, the drawdown floor re-locks at $50,100 (starting balance + $100). If breached before your first payout, the account can be reactivated (up to 2 times, within 30 days of breach) for a $750 fee instead of buying a new evaluation - once a payout has been received, reactivation is no longer available.
Things to Remember
- The Daily Loss Limit here is a soft breach – hitting it auto-closes your open trades and pauses the account, but it’s automatically reinstated the next trading day. It doesn’t fail your evaluation.
- Consistency only applies once funded, not during the evaluation – and breaking it doesn’t fail your account, it just blocks payout requests until your profit distribution evens out.
- Your first payout is capped lower ($2,500) than subsequent payouts ($3,000) – the cap increases automatically after your first successful withdrawal.
- The trailing drawdown locks permanently once your EOD balance reaches $52,100. After that, and after any payout, it re-locks at $50,100 (starting balance + $100).
- If you breach before your first payout, you can reactivate the same account (up to 2 times, within 30 days) for $750 instead of buying a whole new evaluation – that option disappears once you’ve received a payout.
- Copy trading is fine between your own accounts, but using someone else’s signals or letting a third party trade for you is against the rules.
- Micro-scalping is capped: less than 50% of your total profit can come from trades held under 10 seconds, in both the evaluation and funded stages.
FAQ
- What happens if I hit the Daily Loss Limit?
- Your open trades close automatically and the account is temporarily disabled – it reinstates itself the next trading day. It’s a soft breach, not a fail.
- What happens if I violate the 40% consistency rule?
- Nothing breaks – your account stays active. You simply can’t request a payout until your best day drops back under 40% of total profit.
- How soon can I request my first payout?
- 3 days after placing your first trade on the funded account, assuming you’re above the $2,100 buffer and consistency-compliant.
