What happens after I complete the required Benchmarks?

What happens when you finish the Benchmark ladder depends on whether you are trading a Gladiator Futures (Payout Account) or a Gladiator Stocks account.

On a Gladiator Futures (Payout Account), Benchmark 8 triggers an automatic transition to Real Prop. Benchmark 8 is the transition milestone, not a cash-paying milestone.

• No cash payout is issued at Benchmark 8.
• Instead, the Evaluation agreement concludes and the Real Prop Trading Agreement (RPTA) is issued.
• Once the RPTA is signed, the account is activated as a Real Prop account.
• The trader starts at an 80/20 profit split, which scales toward 90/10 as the Real Prop account grows.

Along the way, Benchmarks 2 through 7 each trigger an automatic simulated payout within 72 hours of benchmark recording and compliance approval. The cumulative payout cap over the full ladder is $3,000 on a 25K-class account and $6,000 on a 50K-class account.

On a Gladiator Stocks account, completing the Benchmark ladder triggers Real Prop review. On approval and execution of the Real Prop Trading Agreement:

• A Signing Bonus is released: $3,000 for a 25K Stocks account, $6,000 for a 50K Stocks account.
• 50% of the Signing Bonus is paid on execution of the RPTA; the remaining 50% is distributed across the first two Real Prop payouts.
• The account is activated as a Real Prop account.
• The trader starts at an 80/20 profit split, which scales toward 90/10 as the Real Prop account grows.

At every stage of the Benchmark ladder, and especially at transition, the firm reviews:

• Benchmark completion on the same account
• Trading consistency over time
• Rule adherence
• Overall risk behavior (drawdown, MAE, position sizing)
• Compliance history
• Account activity and longevity
• KYC status

• An 80/20 profit split that scales toward 90/10 as the Real Prop account grows
• Monthly payout cycle
• Ongoing risk and compliance monitoring
• No fixed payout cap under Real Prop (the Evaluation-phase cap does not apply)
