What the rules mean in practice
- To pass, grow the $25K account by $2,000 (8%) 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 $1,000 (4%). This is static drawdown: the loss limit is fixed at a set distance below your starting balance and never moves.
- Consistency rule: None on profit; an Active Trade Day needs $125 (10K, 25K) or $250 (50K) of realized profit and 30% of the best day
- At a 100% split, you need about 1.11% return on the funded account to earn back the $277 fee for one month.
- The minimum balance is set on day one and never moves, in the evaluation or in the Elite account; reaching the safety net does not change it.
- Payout cycle limits run from $100 up to $500, $750 or $1,250 (10K, 25K, 50K) in the first cycle, rising to $1,000, $1,500 or $2,000 from the fourth.
- If an account qualifies for the next cycle before the current cycle's maximum has been withdrawn, the unused amount is lost.
- Elite activation is $177 one-time or $87 a month. A failed evaluation can be reset for $47.
