🧪 Evaluation Rules (Challenge Phase)
📉 10% Max Loss
What It Means:
You cannot let your account drop more than 10% from the starting balance — this includes both closed and open (floating) losses.
Example:
You start with $100,000. If your equity or balance falls below $90,000 at any time, the challenge is failed.
Why This Benefits You:
This rule gives you enough room to trade with flexibility, while keeping you focused on smart risk management — a core habit of successful traders.
📉 5% Daily Loss
What It Means:
On any given trading day, your equity cannot fall more than 5% from the day’s starting balance.
Example:
You start the day with $100,000. If at any point during the day your equity falls to $95,000, even temporarily, your account will be breached.
Why This Benefits You:
It keeps your emotions in check, discourages revenge trading, and protects your capital so you can stay in the game longer.
🎯 9% Profit Target
What It Means:
To pass the challenge, you must grow your starting balance by 9%.
Example:
Start with $100,000 → Your goal is to reach $109,000 to pass.
Why This Benefits You:
This target is achievable for disciplined, skilled traders and filters out gambling. If you can grow an account by 9%, you’ve proven you deserve funding.
📅 Minimum Trading Days: 5
What It Means:
You must place trades on at least 5 separate days to pass the challenge.
Example:
You hit the 9% profit target in 3 days? Great — just trade 2 more days, even with minimal volume, to fulfill the requirement.
Why This Benefits You:
It proves you're not just a one-hit wonder. It encourages discipline and helps you develop real-world trading habits that last beyond funding.
⏳ Inactivity: 15 Days
What It Means:
If you don’t place a trade for 15 consecutive days, your account may be closed.
Why This Benefits You:
Staying active helps you stay sharp. This keeps you engaged and in rhythm with the markets — an important trait for long-term trading success.
💰 Funded Trader Phase – Payouts Explained
After passing the challenge, you're funded — and that’s where the real rewards begin. With each payout, your profit split increases, payout frequency speeds up, and your minimum required trading days drop.
Let’s break down each payout level:
🥇 1st Payout
Profit Split: 80%
Payout Window: Every 14 days
Minimum Trading Days: 7
Example:
You generate $10,000 in profit.
→ You receive 80% = $8,000
→ Traded only 5 days? You must trade 2 more before payout is unlocked.
Why This Benefits You:
This first phase ensures you're showing up consistently, but still rewards you generously right out of the gate.
🥈 2nd Payout
Profit Split: 90%
Payout Window: Every 14 days
Minimum Trading Days: 5
Example:
Earn $10,000 in profit.
→ 90% payout = $9,000
→ You’ve traded 5+ days? You're good to go.
Why This Benefits You:
As you prove consistency, you get a higher cut of your earnings with less wait time.
📊 50% Consistency Rule
Rule:
No single trading day should contribute more than 50% of your total profits at the time of requesting payout.
Why It Matters:
This rule is designed to reward traders who show steady performance over time, not just one lucky trade. It helps ensure your strategy is repeatable and lowers the risk of payout abuse.
Example:
Let’s say your total profit is $10,000 when you request payout.
To meet the 50% consistency rule, no single day should have generated more than $5,000 of that profit.
If you made $6,000 in one day and only $4,000 across the rest, you'd fail the consistency check and need to keep trading until your profits are more evenly distributed.
💸 Minimum 1% Profit Required to Request a Payout
What It Means:
You must generate at least 1% profit in the cycle to request a payout.
Example:
On a $100K account, you must make at least $1,000 to be eligible for a payout.
Why This Helps You:
Ensures that every payout is meaningful. It also encourages strategic, purposeful trading — not just meeting minimum criteria.
