How it works

1. 1. Evaluate

   Complete an evaluation by reaching the profit target without breaching the drawdown limit.

2. 2. Advance

   Pass to the funded stage: a simulated account with its own rules (below).

3. 3. Request payouts

   Request performance-based payouts once every payout requirement is met.

• Hit the profit target without your balance falling to the max-loss floor. Take one day or many.
• Flex: your best day may be at most 40% of your total profit before the evaluation counts as passed. Above that, keep trading until other days even it out; it never fails the account.
• Pro: no consistency rule and a 1-day minimum, so you can pass in a single day.
• Flex needs 3 distinct trading days before passing. A day counts when at least one eligible futures trade is completed. There is no minimum daily profit.
• Evaluations don't expire.
• Daily loss limit: the same as funded ($25K: $600, $50K: $1,200, $100K: $1,800, $150K: $2,700). Hitting it closes your positions and pauses trading until the next session. It doesn't fail the evaluation.

• Daily loss limit: hitting it closes your positions and pauses trading until the next session. It does not end your account on its own.
• Contracts: 10 micros count as 1 mini. For example, on a $25K account (2 minis maximum) you could hold 1 mini plus 10 micros, but not 1 mini plus 11 micros.
• The account size is a simulated balance, not cash, and can't be withdrawn. See payout policy.

Think of your max loss as a floor under your balance (we call it your threshold). It sits your maximum drawdown below your best end-of-day balance so far, and it only moves up, never down. If your balance falls to the floor, that breaks the rule. Losses on trades you haven't closed yet count too.

Example on a $25K funded account:

• You start at $25,000. Your threshold is $24,000.
• You end a day at $25,500. Your threshold rises to $24,500.
• Once your highest end-of-day balance reaches $26,100, the threshold locks at $25,100 ($100 above your starting balance) and stops trailing.

The floor set at the end of each day stays put for the whole next day. Touching it exactly counts as breaking the rule. During the evaluation the floor never locks: it keeps following your best end-of-day balance up.

We can't check these rules automatically while you trade until our trading-platform connection is live.

Flex accounts have it in the evaluation (it holds back the pass); Pro accounts have it once funded (it only affects payout eligibility). Flex funded accounts and Pro evaluations have no consistency rule. Your largest winning day must be no more than 40% of your total net profit for the current payout cycle.

Consistency = largest winning day ÷ total net profit × 100

• Example: largest day $400, total net profit $1,000 = 40%. That meets the rule.
• If you're above 40%, your account stays open and active. Nothing is failed, closed, reset or taken away. Keep trading; we show the exact extra net profit needed. For example, a $500 best day on $1,000 total needs $250 more.
• Profit means simulated net realized P&L after commissions and fees. Deposits, promotional credits and non-trading adjustments don't count.
• The cycle restarts only after an approved payout has been processed.
• With zero or negative net profit for the cycle, the account isn't payout-eligible yet.

To request a payout from a funded account, all of these must be true:

• Your balance has reached the payout buffer for your account size.
• You have enough qualifying days since your last payout. A qualifying day is a distinct trading session with at least the minimum net realized profit for your plan and account size. 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.
• Your net profit for the payout cycle is positive.
• Pro accounts only: you meet the 40% consistency rule.
• No unresolved risk breach, prohibited-activity or fraud review is open.

What the payout buffer means: it's a protected simulated balance. Payouts can only be requested for simulated profit above it, and a payout can never take your balance below it. For a $25K account the buffer is $26,100: your starting balance plus the $1,000 drawdown plus $100.

Example: a $25K funded account at $27,000 has $900 above the buffer. A $900 request pays $810 to you (90%) and $90 to the firm (10%). The split is applied once.

• Processing target: 3 business days after approval. This is a target, not a guarantee of payment by a particular date, and it doesn't include the time your bank or payment provider takes to settle.
• Statuses: requested, under review, approved, processing, paid, or rejected (with the reason and how to request a review).
• After 5 simulated funded payouts, the account goes to an eligibility review before any further payout.

• Trading days follow America/Chicago time. All positions must be closed by 3:59 PM Chicago time every trading day. Exchange holidays follow CME's published calendar: full-closure days aren't trading days, and early-close days count as normal trading days. Full-closure days: New Year's Day (2026-01-01); Christmas Day (2026-12-25); New Year's Day (2027-01-01); Good Friday (2027-03-26); Christmas Day (observed) (2027-12-24).
• Eligible futures products and trading hours: To be published
• Scalping and day trading are allowed. There is no minimum trade duration.
• Automated strategies are allowed if the trading platform authorizes them and they aren't used for manipulation or exploitation.
• Overnight and weekend positions are not allowed.
• News trading is not allowed: no 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).
• Inactivity: an account may be closed or suspended only after 30 consecutive calendar days without an eligible trade. We warn you after 23 and 29 days without a trade.

• Account sharing or unauthorized account access.
• Deliberate hedging across correlated instruments or accounts to get around risk limits.
• Exploiting stale prices, data-feed errors or platform vulnerabilities.
• Manipulating orders or market data.
• Trading after a hard risk breach.
• Falsifying identity or payout information.

A legitimate strategy is never prohibited just because it is profitable or uses short holding periods.

For every breach we record:

• The account ID and the time of the breach.
• The rule involved, the account values observed and the threshold at that moment.
• Related order or fill IDs, where available.
• The action taken and whether an appeal is available.

If you believe a breach was caused by a technical error, you can ask for a review. Fraud investigations may be handled separately. How to submit an appeal and response times: To be published. Until then, use the contact page.
