What the rules mean in practice

  • To pass, grow the $150K account by $9,000 (6%) without breaking a loss limit.
  • There is no daily loss limit, so a bad day only fails the account if it breaks the overall max loss.
  • The account fails if you lose $4,005 (2.67%). This is intraday trailing drawdown: the loss limit follows your highest intraday equity in real time, including open profit that you later give back.
  • Consistency rule: None in the evaluation; 50% best-day rule on Performance Account payouts
  • At a 100% split, you need about 0.79% return on the funded account to earn back the $1,190 fee.
  • Payouts: a request opens after 5 trading days that each make at least $100 (25K), $200 (50K), $250 (100K) or $300 (150K) in net profit.
  • The threshold trails the peak balance in real time, including open profit. In the Performance Account it stops at the starting balance plus $100.
  • In Rithmic and WealthCharts evaluations trailing stops once the threshold reaches the profit-target balance; in Tradovate evaluations it trails indefinitely.
  • There is no daily loss limit in the evaluation; the Performance Account has a tiered daily loss limit and contract limit (2, 4, 6 or 10 minis at the top tier) that scale with end-of-day profit.
  • Maximum payout per request rises with each payout, from $1,000 on a 25K account to as much as $5,000 on the sixth 150K payout. The account closes after six payouts.
  • A five-pack of the same evaluation lists at $749.50 (25K), $950 (50K), $3,450 (100K) and $4,950 (150K).
