What the rules mean in practice
- To pass, grow the $50K account by $2,500 (5%) 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 $650 (1.3%). This is static drawdown: the loss limit is fixed at a set distance below your starting balance and never moves.
- Consistency rule: None
- At a 80% split, you need about 1.81% return on the funded account to earn back the $723 fee.
- Same rules as the evaluation-fee option; the higher single payment covers the evaluation and the CASH account, with no activation fee.
- List prices are taken from the checkout. The site configurator shows $1,125 for the 150K, while the checkout charges $1,123.
- Reaching the profit target on the CASH account pays the fixed bonus (80/20 split) and converts the account to LIVE with daily, uncapped withdrawals.
- The drawdown is static at $500, $650, $800 or $1,000, with no daily loss limit, no consistency rule and no overnight holds.
