What the rules mean in practice

  • To pass, grow the $50K account by $4,000 (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 $1,750 (3.5%). 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: Evaluation: best day at most 40% of profit; none on Qualified accounts
  • At a 90% split, you need about 0.46% return on the funded account to earn back the $209 fee for one month.
  • No Daily Loss Guard in either stage, no news restriction and no scaling plan, so the full contract limit is available from the start.
  • Qualified payouts: up to 4 requests a month, each after 5 winning days of $200 or more and each up to 50% of account profit, with a $1,000 minimum and a $15,000 cap on every size.
  • An evaluation reset costs $189, $319 or $449; Qualified resets are not offered.
  • A $149 activation fee applied to Advanced accounts bought before 8 July 2026; later purchases have none.
  • Advanced Qualified accounts are limited to 3, and a trader with an active Advanced Qualified account is limited to 3 accounts.
