How Flash works: start for $0.99, pay the rest only if you pass

Flash: a one-phase evaluation you start for $0.99. The rest of the price is due within 14 days only if you pass. Targets, limits, sizes, total cost and what Flash leaves out.

At a glance

Flash costs $0.99 to start at every size, and the rest of the price is due only if you pass. The rest is due within 14 days of the e-mail telling you that you passed. If it is not paid, the pass lapses, nothing is owed and the $0.99 is not refunded. This is not a debt, and nobody will chase you for it. Flash is a single attempt with no reset, and no discount code applies to it. Its add-ons, the profit split upgrade, Payout On Demand and swap-free, can be bought only with the payment due on passing, and they apply only once the account is funded.

The amount due on passing is the full price for your size minus the $0.99 already paid. It is due within 14 days of the e-mail telling you that you passed. If you do not pass, nothing more is collected: the $0.99 was the whole cost. Your first payout needs the rest paid. See Passed Flash? Paying the rest of the price.

Flash is a one-phase simulated evaluation with a 2% profit target, no minimum trading days and no time limit, and it can be passed on its first trading day. The evaluation has no daily loss limit; its 5% max overall loss is static and applies from the first trade. Once funded, the reward share is 80%, or 100% with the profit split upgrade. Sizes run from $10K to $200K.

The trade-off: $0.99 to start at every size and a 2% target, against a single attempt with no reset, the most qualifying days per payout cycle of the four accounts (7), and the only funded consistency check: your best day can be at most 20% of the cycle's eligible profit. Passing is not guaranteed, and the fee is the money at risk.

If the amount at checkout is not $0.99 for a Flash, or the amount shown as due on passing differs from this page, stop and ask us through the Messenger or at support@everfunded.com before paying. Do not send passwords or card details.

  • Passing. The target counts realized net profit, after trading costs. To pass, close every position and cancel every pending order. The evaluation has no qualifying-day or consistency gate, so it can be passed on its first trading day. Passing does not start the funded account at once: it starts after the rest of the price is paid and the account is activated. If the account sizes you have bought add up to more than $400,000, activation is reviewed by our Risk team; this is a review, not a ban.

  • No daily limit in the evaluation does not mean no limit. The 5% overall limit applies from the first trade, and every other trading rule still applies. An evaluation that exceeds the overall limit fails (Terms §5.4). A funded Flash has a 3% daily limit, and a funded account that breaks a loss limit is closed, with no warning first.

  • The funded daily limit. Your daily loss limit is a fixed dollar amount. It is your product's daily loss percentage of the starting balance of your current payout cycle. During an evaluation, that starting balance is the account size you bought. Your trading profits and losses do not change this amount, either during the day or from one day to the next. Each server day starts at 00:00 server time. During the day, your equity, including open positions, must not fall below that day's floor. On 1-Step and 2-Step, the floor is your balance at the start of the day minus the limit. On a funded Flash or Instant account, the floor is the higher of your balance and your equity at the start of the day, minus the limit. After a payout is completed and paid, a new payout cycle starts. The balance left in the account becomes the new starting balance, and your overall loss limit starts again from it. The payout itself does not count as a trading loss. It also does not give back any of the daily limit you have already used, so the amount you can still lose that day stays the same. At the next daily reset, your daily limit is recalculated from the new starting balance.

  • The overall limit changes when the account is funded, from static to trailing. It follows the highest closed balance, not floating profit, and once it reaches the starting balance it stays there. After a payout is completed and paid, it starts again. The balance left in the account becomes the new starting balance, the limit is set 5% below it, and the limit locks when it rises to that new starting balance.

  • News. During an evaluation news trading is free, and news trading is never on its own a reason for review. The prohibited practices still apply at every stage (Terms §11.1). On a funded account you may hold positions through news, but profit from a trade opened or closed within 3 minutes before or after a high-impact release is not eligible: it is removed from the balance, and that removal can take the account past its overall loss limit. A trade opened at least 5 hours before the window and closed by a pre-set stop loss or take profit keeps its profit, and a trade opened or closed exactly at the edge of the window counts as inside it.

  • Leverage on other markets. Gold, indices and oil use 1:10 leverage and crypto 1:2.

  • Trading style. There is no minimum trade duration, and no mandatory stop-loss, subject to our risk-management and trading rules. Exploitation, abusive trading practices and unreasonable risk-taking are prohibited and may result in review and action under the account terms (Terms §11.1).

  • No deadline. There is no time limit to reach the target on 2-Step, 1-Step or Flash. Opening or closing a trade counts as activity, and so does a change in the profit or loss of a position you hold open. Signing in to your Dashboard or your platform does not. An account with no activity may be closed for inactivity, and we e-mail you first (Terms §5.7).

Rewards, payouts and what Flash leaves out

  • Reward share: 80%, or 100% with the profit split upgrade. On Flash the upgrade can be bought only with the payment due on passing, and costs 20% of the amount due on passing. There is no scaling plan on Flash. Rewards are discretionary and never guaranteed.

  • When you can request. Every payout, including the first, needs at least 7 qualifying days in the cycle, each with profit of at least 0.5% of the balance the cycle started with. It also needs net profit in the cycle of at least 3% of that balance, 14 days since the cycle started unless you bought Payout On Demand, and a payout of at least $100 to you after the split. After the payout, the account must stay at least 1% of the cycle's starting balance above its overall loss limit.

  • Consistency check. Your best day in the cycle can be at most 20% of the cycle's eligible profit. Above that you keep trading but cannot request a payout until the ratio is back within 20%; it is not a breach.

  • Before you request. Close every position, cancel every pending order and make sure your identity is verified: it must be verified before your first payout. While the request is pending the account is read-only, and every request is checked before it is paid.

  • Cycles and amounts. The first cycle starts at your first trade on the funded account; each later cycle starts when the previous payout has been completed and paid. You choose when to request and how much of the eligible amount to take.

  • Add-ons, only with the payment due on passing. You can add the profit split upgrade for 20%, Payout On Demand for 25% and swap-free for 10% of the amount due on passing, each worked out on that amount, and not at any other time. They apply only to the funded account, never to the evaluation. Payout On Demand removes the 14-day wait before each payout request, including the first, and nothing else: every other condition above, including the best-day check, still applies. Swap-free waives swap fees only.

Flash does not include:

  • A reset. Flash is a single attempt; to try again you buy a new Flash, which is $0.99 to start.

  • The multi-account discount.

  • Discount codes.

  • The fee back after a fourth payout: that applies to 2-Step and 1-Step only.

  • The scaling plan.

  • A credit toward a 2-Step: a Flash bought from 24 October 2026 does not earn one.

  • More than one active Flash account at a time, whether in evaluation or funded.

Example

A trader picks a $50K Flash.

  • To start: they pay $0.99.

  • Evaluation: the target is 2%, which is $1,000 of simulated profit on the $50,000 starting balance, with no minimum days, no daily limit and no deadline. The overall loss limit stays at $47,500 during the evaluation.

  • If they do not pass: nothing more is collected. The $0.99 was the whole cost.

  • If they pass: $271.70 is due within 14 days of the pass e-mail, making $272.69 in total. Adding the profit split upgrade with that payment costs $54.34 more, which is 20% of $271.70. If the payment is not made in time, the pass lapses and nothing is owed.

  • Once funded: the daily allowance is 3% of the $50,000 the payout cycle started with, a fixed $1,500, even when the balance at the start of the day changes. After a payout is completed and paid, it is recalculated from the new cycle's starting balance at the next daily reset. The overall limit becomes trailing: it starts at $47,500 and rises with each new closed-balance high, until it reaches $50,000 when the closed balance reaches $52,500. It stays at $50,000 until a payout is completed and paid, which starts a new payout cycle.

  • First payout: the cycle needs at least 7 qualifying days of at least $250 profit each and at least $1,500 of net profit, and, without Payout On Demand, 14 days must have passed since the first funded trade. With $2,000 of eligible profit in the cycle, the best day can be at most $400.
