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 0.98% return on the funded account to earn back the $490 fee.
- Same evaluation and Performance Account rules as Intraday Trail; the higher evaluation price replaces the activation fee, which the configurator shows as free.
- Prices are as listed in the configurator on the check date. The 25K was listed above the 50K and 100K, and the 100K was listed below the standard Intraday Trail 100K ($790).
- A five-pack lists at $2,950 (25K), $2,450 (50K), $2,950 (100K) and $8,950 (150K).
