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 $3,990 (2.66%). This is end-of-day trailing drawdown: the loss limit moves up once a day, based on your end-of-day balance, and ignores swings during the session.
- Consistency rule: Challenge only: no day may exceed 40% of the total profit, or the target rises; none on the performance account
- At a 80% split, you need about 0.37% return on the funded account to earn back the $438 fee.
- Payouts: daily, once at least $100 of payout is available; no consistency rule, minimum days or daily profit cap on the performance account.
- Prices above are for the 80% payout share. With a 100% share the list prices are $168 / $268 / $418 / $568.
- Dollar rules: profit target $1,500 / $3,000 / $6,500 / $9,000 and end-of-day drawdown $1,000 / $1,500 / $3,000 / $3,990.
- In the challenge the end-of-day drawdown keeps trailing with closed profit and does not lock; on the performance account it locks at the starting balance once profit reaches the drawdown amount or the first payout is taken.
- Caps per request: $600 / $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,000. The configurator data sets the 100K cap at 1.6% ($1,600), so the help centre and website differ by $100 on that size.
- Only profit made in the current cycle can be requested; anything left behind stays as a buffer.
- Performance accounts close after 4 payouts (5 for accounts bought before 1 October 2026) and the trader receives a free challenge of the same size; the product overview page still says 5.
- On the performance account the contract limit starts at 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 contracts and rises at 1.5% and 3% locked profit to the challenge limit.
- No activation fee is charged after passing.
