What the rules mean in practice
- There is no evaluation. You trade a funded $100K account from day one, so the loss limits are the only rules between you and a payout.
- 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.
- Consistency rule: An Active Trade Day needs $500 of realized profit and 50% of the best day
- At a 100% split, you need about 1% return on the funded account to earn back the $997 fee.
- The 100K Direct to Funded account uses a fixed $95,000 floor that never trails; the $5,100 safety net must be reached before the first payout.
- Payout cycle limits are $1,500, $2,500, $3,500 and then $5,000, with a $500 minimum request.
- Positions may be held overnight and over the weekend; a reset costs $447, up to 10 times.
