FAQS
The information below outlines the structure, rules, and operational framework of our evaluation and funded account programs.
-
The Standard Plan uses an End-of-Day trailing drawdown model. The drawdown updates at the close of each trading day based on your highest end-of-day balance.
-
The profit target is 6% of the account size.
Example:
$50k account → $3,000 target
$100k account → $6,000 target
$150k account → $9,000 target
-
The Standard Plan uses a 3% End-of-Day trailing drawdown.
The drawdown trails your highest end-of-day balance until you reach +3%.
After you pass +3%, the drawdown locks and stops trailing.
If the drawdown is breached during the evaluation phase, the account will be considered failed.
However, you may reset your evaluation at a reduced reset fee:
$50,000 account → $49 reset
$100,000 account → $74 reset
$150,000 account → $99 reset
Resets allow you to restart the evaluation under the same account size and rule structure.
Drawdown breaches on funded accounts cannot be reset and will result in account closure.
-
No single trading day may account for more than 40% of your total profits at the time you request payout or complete the evaluation.
This encourages sustainable performance rather than one large trade.
-
Yes.
Standard Plans require a minimum of 5 winning trading days.
A winning day is defined as at least $250 in realized profit.
-
No. The Standard (EOD) plan does not allow overnight holding unless otherwise specified in the contract specifications.
-
Trading during Tier 1 (T1) high-impact news events is strictly prohibited.
This includes opening or closing trades within the restricted window surrounding designated T1 releases.
Violation of the T1 news rule will result in:
• Immediate account breach
• Closure of the evaluation or funded account
• Forfeiture of eligibility under that account
T1 events typically include, but are not limited to:
FOMC rate decisions
CPI
NFP
Major central bank announcements
Other high-impact macroeconomic releases designated by the firm
The official T1 news list are provided here.
-
The Speed Plan uses an intraday trailing drawdown model and allows traders to complete the evaluation in as little as one trading day, provided all rules are respected.
Because the drawdown trails your highest intraday balance in real time, risk management must be tighter compared to the Standard (EOD) Plan.
This model is designed for disciplined intraday traders who prefer faster evaluation timelines and are comfortable operating under active trailing mechanics.
-
Same as Standard: 6% of the account size.
-
The Speed Plan uses an intraday trailing drawdown.
The drawdown trails your highest unrealized balance during the trading session.
This means risk management must be tighter compared to the Standard Plan.
If the drawdown is breached during the evaluation phase, the account will be considered failed.
However, you may reset your evaluation at a reduced reset fee:
$50,000 account → $49 reset
$100,000 account → $74 reset
$150,000 account → $99 reset
Resets allow you to restart the evaluation under the same account size and rule structure.
Drawdown breaches on funded accounts cannot be reset and will result in account closure.
-
No. The 40% consistency rule does not applies. Traders are able to pass in 1 day.
-
No minimum number of days is required to pass.
You may complete the evaluation in one trading day if all rules are respected.
-
No.
-
Trading during Tier 1 (T1) high-impact news events is strictly prohibited.
This includes opening or closing trades within the restricted window surrounding designated T1 releases.
Violation of the T1 news rule will result in:
• Immediate account breach
• Closure of the evaluation or funded account
• Forfeiture of eligibility under that account
T1 events typically include, but are not limited to:
FOMC rate decisions

-
You will receive a Funded Account agreement.
Upon execution of the agreement, you may begin trading under funded conditions.
-
90% to the trader
10% to the firm
-
The funded account uses a 3% End-of-Day trailing drawdown that stops trailing after +3%.
If the drawdown is breached during the funded phase, the account will be considered failed and closed immediately.
To obtain a new funded account after a breach, a new evaluation must be purchased and successfully completed.
Any other funded accounts currently in good standing will remain active, provided they remain compliant with all rules and risk parameters.
If a trader already has the maximum of 5 active funded accounts, and additional evaluations have been successfully passed but are idle, those funded accounts may be activated once an active funded account slot becomes available.
Activation of idle funded accounts is subject to compliance review and must adhere to the maximum 5-account limit per trader.
-
You may request your first payout after:
Reaching a 3% profit buffer
Achieving at least 5 winning days of $249.99 or more
Generating at least $500 in withdrawable profit
-
Every 14 days.
-
$500 minimum and $10,000 per withdrawal request.
-
Yes. Up to 3 funded accounts per tier are permitted.
However, the following practices are strictly prohibited:
Hedging positions between accounts (e.g., long in one account and short in another)
Copy trading between personal accounts to bypass risk rules
Coordinated trading across accounts to artificially reduce drawdown
Opposing positions across accounts to lock in risk-free exposure
Using one account to offset losses in another
Executing mirrored or inverse strategies designed to exploit payout mechanics
Any form of rule circumvention through correlated account behavior
All accounts are monitored for correlated activity.
If abusive or manipulative trading behavior is detected, accounts may be:
Closed
Voided
Disqualified from payouts
Multiple accounts are permitted for scaling performance — not for exploiting structure.
