Proposed rules. These rules are still a draft waiting for final approval. Numbers and policies may change before launch, and nothing here is an offer or agreement yet.

Evaluations

What's the difference between Flex and Pro?

Same sizes, targets, drawdown and 90% split. Flex has a 40% consistency rule in the evaluation and none once you're funded. Pro has no consistency rule in the evaluation and a 1-day minimum, so you can pass in a single day; once funded, the 40% rule applies to payouts.

Is there an evaluation consistency rule?

On Flex, yes: your best day may be at most 40% of your total profit before the evaluation counts as passed. Above that you keep trading until other days even it out; it never fails the account. On Pro, no: reach the target in one session or many.

How many trading days do I need?

Flex: at least 3 distinct trading days before passing. Pro: just 1. A day counts when at least one eligible futures trade is completed. On a funded account, each payout needs qualifying days. Flex: 5 profitable days, each with at least $100 / $150 / $200 / $250 net profit. Pro: 3 profitable days, each with at least $150 / $200 / $300 / $400 net profit. Amounts are by account size, $25K to $150K.

How does end-of-day trailing drawdown work?

Think of it as a floor under your balance. It sits a fixed amount below your best end-of-day balance so far, and it only ever moves up. On a $25K account the floor starts at $24,000; end a day at $25,500 and it rises to $24,500. On funded accounts it stops rising once it's $100 above your starting balance. Losses on trades you haven't closed yet count too, so if your balance touches the floor, the rule is broken.

Can I buy more than one account at once?

Yes. One order can hold up to 12 accounts, in any mix of sizes, and you can hold up to 20 open accounts at a time. Current offer: Buy 3, get the 4th free. For every 4 accounts of the same size and the same plan in one order, 1 is free. Accounts of different sizes or plans don't combine toward the offer. It's applied automatically at checkout: there's no code to enter, and you see the discount before you pay.

How are micros counted against mini-contract limits?

10 micros count as 1 mini. Limits: $25K: 2 minis or 20 micros; $50K: 4 minis or 40 micros; $100K: 8 minis or 80 micros; $150K: 12 minis or 120 micros.

Can I reset an evaluation?Pending

Proposed reset fees are $25K: $55; $50K: $100; $100K: $190; $150K: $250. These are not final checkout terms yet.

Funded accounts

What does the 40% consistency rule mean?

Your largest winning day must be no more than 40% of your total net profit. Flex accounts have it in the evaluation; Pro accounts have it on payouts once funded (per payout cycle). Example: a $400 best day with $1,000 total net profit is exactly 40%, which meets the rule.

What happens if my best day exceeds 40%?

Nothing bad happens to your account: it isn't failed, closed or reset, and no profits are taken. You simply keep trading until your total net profit is large enough, and we show you exactly how much more is needed. Example: a $500 best day needs $1,250 total net profit.

What happens when I hit the daily loss limit?

In both the evaluation and funded accounts, your positions are closed and trading pauses until the next session. It doesn't end the account on its own. Limits: $25K: $600; $50K: $1,200; $100K: $1,800; $150K: $2,700.

Payouts

What is the payout buffer?

A protected minimum balance you must reach before requesting a payout. It is simulated, can't be paid out, and a payout can never take you below it. Buffers: $25K: $26,100; $50K: $52,100; $100K: $103,100; $150K: $154,600.

How large can a payout be?

Payout requests range from $500 to the maximum for your account size ($25K: $1,000; $50K: $2,000; $100K: $2,500; $150K: $3,000), as long as your simulated balance stays at or above the buffer. Payouts are performance-based payments from our own funds; you receive 90% of the amount and the firm keeps 10%.

How long does payout processing take?

Our target is 3 business days after approval. It's a target, not a guarantee of payment by a specific date, and your bank or payment provider may take longer to settle.

Rules and conduct

Can I trade during economic news?

No. You can't have open positions from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after these scheduled U.S. releases: FOMC rate decisions and minutes; CPI (consumer price index); Nonfarm payrolls (jobs report). Evaluations test risk management, not one-shot bets on announcements.

Can I appeal a breach?Pending

Yes. If you believe a breach was caused by a technical error, you can request a review. The submission process and response times will be published before launch; until then, use the contact page.

1v1 battles, Cores and Core Rating

What are 1v1 matches?

A friendly competition on simulated trading. You and another trader replay the same week of real historical prices, sped up. Whoever ends with the bigger % gain wins Cores and Core Rating. No money is involved.

How long does a match last, and can I rewind?

Each player has 25 minutes at most. The replay only moves forward: you can't rewind or replay candles to undo a mistake, so every trade stands. When your time runs out, the rest of your week plays out on its own with your positions as they are.

Do stop losses and take profits matter in a match?

Yes. You can attach a stop loss and a take profit to any position, and they fill automatically as the replay moves. At the end of each match you earn bonus Cores for risk management: more for protecting your trades with a stop and for planning a good reward-to-risk ratio (2:1 or better scores best).

What are Cores?

Cores are CORE TRADING's in-app currency. You earn them in 1v1 matches and spend them in the shop on name cards, colours, badges, packs and evaluation discounts. They aren't money, can't be bought and can't be cashed out.

What is Core Rating?

Your Core Rating is your competitive rank score: every Core you earn adds to it, and spending Cores never lowers it. It decides your tier, from Bronze Trader up to Core Trader, and your place on the public leaderboard if you opt in.

Who can message me?

You decide, in Settings: everyone (people who aren't your friends land in Requests first), friends only, or nobody. Messages are private between you and the other person.

How do I block someone?

Open your chat with them and press Block. Neither of you can message the other, you stop being friends, and they aren't told. You can unblock people in Settings.

Pricing, platforms and support

How much does an evaluation cost?

Each evaluation is a one-time fee, with no monthly subscription. Current prices are on the Evaluations page.

How do I pay?Pending

By card, on our secure checkout page. While we're still in test mode, no real money is charged.

Which trading platforms can I use?Pending

We plan to integrate with Tradovate, TradingView, Rithmic, TradeSea and MotiveWave. None of these integrations is available yet, and we aren't affiliated with or endorsed by these companies. We'll announce each one when it's live.

How do I contact support?Pending

Use the contact page or the chat button in the corner. A support email address will be published before launch.
