Trading Rules and Restrictions

These are Program Rules version 2026-11-10-proposed (status: PROPOSED, pending business approval). The version in effect when you buy an account is recorded on that account and continues to govern it; later versions apply only if you agree.

• $25,000 account: profit target $1,250; daily loss limit $600; maximum drawdown $1,000; up to 2 mini or 20 micro contracts; minimum 3 trading days.
• $50,000 account: profit target $3,000; daily loss limit $1,200; maximum drawdown $2,000; up to 4 mini or 40 micro contracts; minimum 3 trading days.
• $100,000 account: profit target $6,000; daily loss limit $1,800; maximum drawdown $3,000; up to 8 mini or 80 micro contracts; minimum 3 trading days.
• $150,000 account: profit target $9,000; daily loss limit $2,700; maximum drawdown $4,500; up to 12 mini or 120 micro contracts; minimum 3 trading days.

There is no time limit in the evaluation stage.

Accounts come in two plans. Flex: in the evaluation, your best trading day may be at most 40% of your total profit before the evaluation counts as passed (more profit on other days evens it out; it never fails the account); there is no consistency rule once funded. Pro: there is no consistency rule in the evaluation and the minimum is 1 trading day, so it can be passed in a single day; once funded, the 40% consistency rule applies to payouts.

Maximum drawdown is measured at the end of each trading day and trails the highest end-of-day balance. If the end-of-day balance falls to or below the drawdown threshold, the account fails.

In the funded stage, the threshold stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance plus $100.

If losses in one trading day reach the daily loss limit, your positions are closed and trading pauses until the next trading day. This does not fail the account. The daily loss limit is the same in both stages.

Trading days follow Chicago time; a trading day begins at 17:00 Chicago time on the previous calendar day. All positions must be closed by 15:59 Chicago time every trading day. Days when CME is fully closed are not trading days; early-close days count as normal trading days.

• No trading from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after these scheduled releases: FOMC rate decisions and minutes; CPI (consumer price index); Nonfarm payrolls (jobs report).
• No exploiting errors, latency, price-feed delays or other features of the simulated environment that would not be available in live markets.
• No hedging or offsetting positions across accounts, and no coordinated trading with other participants.
• No account sharing, account management by another person, or trading for someone else.
• Automated strategies only where the trading platform authorizes them and not used for manipulation or exploitation.
• [PLACEHOLDER: owner to confirm any further prohibited strategies and the eligible product list and trading hours.]

An account with no trade for 30 consecutive days may be closed.

When an account fails or is closed for a breach, we record which rule was broken and the supporting data, and tell you the reason. You may appeal as described in the Payout Policy.

[PLACEHOLDER: owner and counsel to define how platform or data-feed outages are handled, e.g. review of affected trades.]
