What the rules mean in practice
- There are 3 phases. Phase 1 needs $6,000 profit (6%); Phase 2 needs $6,000 profit (6%); Phase 3 needs $6,000 profit (6%). The loss limits apply in every phase.
- 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 $5,000 (5%). This is static drawdown: the loss limit is fixed at a set distance below your starting balance and never moves.
- At a 50% split, you need about 0.19% return on the funded account to earn back the $95 fee.
- Payouts: every 14 days; first payout 14 days after the funded account is issued.
- Size is the funded account balance. The three evaluation steps run on smaller balances: $5K, $10K and $15K for the 20K track; $25K, $50K and $75K for the 100K track; $100K, $150K and $200K for the 250K track.
- The entry fee is paid up front and the remaining fee (activation fee here) only after passing all three steps; totals are $72, $300 and $575.
- There is no daily limit during the evaluation. Funded accounts have a 4% maximum loss, a 5% target per scale-up and a 3% daily pause that stops trading for the rest of the day.
- Profit split starts at 50% and rises to 100% as the funded account scales on each 5% target.
- Up to 4 active Bootcamp accounts (one 250K, one 100K and two 20K), each traded with a different strategy.
- Leverage 1:30 on forex, 1:25 on metals and indices, with lower leverage on commodities and crypto. The fee is non-refundable.
