What the rules mean in practice
- To pass, grow the $50K account by $3,000 (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 $2,000 (4%). 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 0.5% return on the funded account to earn back the $249 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).
