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 $4,995 (3.33%). This is intraday trailing drawdown: the loss limit follows your highest intraday equity in real time, including open profit that you later give back.
- Consistency rule: None on profit; an Active Trade Day needs $250 of realized profit and 30% of the best day's profit
- At a 100% split, you need about 0.23% return on the funded account to earn back the $347 fee for one month.
- ETF calls this its most popular plan. The drawdown follows the highest unrealized balance in real time, during the evaluation and in the Elite account.
- After passing, the Elite Sim-Funded account is kept active with either the one-time activation fee shown ($177 or $247) or $87 a month; the two are alternatives, and monthly payers can switch to the one-time fee later.
- In the Elite account the trailing stops once realized profit reaches the drawdown plus $100 (the safety net), and the floor is then fixed at the starting balance plus $100.
- For accounts bought from 28 July 2026, payout cycle limits run from $250 up to $1,000, $1,250 or $1,500 (50K, 100K, 150K) in the first cycle, rising to $1,750, $2,000 or $2,250 from the fourth.
- Active Trade Day rules apply to evaluations bought from 2 October 2026; earlier purchases use $200 and 23% of the best day.
- A failed evaluation can be reset for $47 as often as needed, and a failed evaluation is reset at no charge when the subscription renews. The One Day to Pass add-on removes the 5-day minimum.
