What the rules mean in practice
- To pass, grow the $100K account by $6,000 (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 $3,000 (3%). 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: Combine: best day at or below 55% of the profit target, or the target rises; Express Funded Consistency path: best day at or below 40% of net profit
- At a 90% split, you need about 0.17% return on the funded account to earn back the $149 fee for one month.
- Same Combine rules as the Standard path; the higher monthly price replaces the $149 activation fee. The path cannot be changed after purchase.
- Adding the optional daily loss limit ($1,000, $2,000 or $3,000) at checkout applies the Responsible Trading discount of $10, $20 or $30 a month, giving $85, $129 or $199.
- Payouts: the trader chooses the Express Funded Standard path (5 winning days of $150 or more) or the Consistency path (3 traded days, best day at or below 40%).
- A Reset costs the same as the monthly price, and one free Reset credit is issued at each rebill.
