Overview
Gladiator Sprint is a futures-only, day-trading-only account family that uses End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown only, in 25K and 50K sizes. Sprint runs in two phases — the Sprint Evaluation, then the Sprint PTSA (payout phase) after the trader passes and signs the required contract. Unlike Gladiator Light and Forge, Sprint does not use the Benchmark ladder; in the PTSA phase, payouts are requested manually once eligibility is met.
Phase 1 — Sprint Evaluation
Pass by reaching the Evaluation profit target in a minimum of 1 qualifying trading day, while staying within all active risk rules. After passing, a contract is sent for signature, and the Sprint PTSA account is created only after it is signed. There is no activation fee to move from Evaluation to PTSA.

Phase 2 — Sprint PTSA (payout account)
Sprint PTSA accounts do not use automatic payouts. Before each payout request, the trader must complete 3 qualifying trading days, reach the payout target above the drawdown buffer, pass the 50% consistency rule, and remain within all active risk and compliance rules. Qualifying days do not need to be consecutive.

Payout ladder
Sprint PTSA payouts use a 90/10 split — the trader receives 90% of each approved payout. The amount shown below is the gross payout that is deducted from the account balance. The minimum payout request is $500.
Payout | 25K | 50K |
Payout 1 | $1,000 | $2,000 |
Payout 2 | $1,000 | $2,000 |
Payout 3 | $1,000 | $2,000 |
Payout 4 | $1,250 | $2,500 |
Payout 5 | $1,250 | $2,500 |
Maximum per account | $5,500 | $11,000 |
First payout eligibility & the drawdown buffer
On a Sprint PTSA account, the EOD drawdown trails upward as the balance grows, then locks. Once it locks, the account has a buffer floor that must always remain — the trader can never withdraw below it.
50K Sprint PTSA: build the balance to $52,100 ($50,000 + $2,000 Max EOD Drawdown + $100). At $52,100, the drawdown locks at $50,100, and $52,100 becomes the permanent buffer floor. The $500 minimum payout requires a balance of $52,600 ($52,100 + $500).
For example, at $53,100, the trader can request up to $1,000 — everything above the $52,100 floor. At the 90/10 split, they receive $900; the full $1,000 is deducted, returning the balance to $52,100.
25K Sprint PTSA: the buffer floor is $26,100 ($25,000 + $1,000 Max EOD Drawdown + $100). The $500 minimum payout requires a balance of $26,600.
Each request is also capped by the payout ladder above. After an approved payout returns the balance to the floor, the trader completes 3 new qualifying trading days and builds back above the floor to request the next payout. The 50% consistency calculation resets after each approved payout.
After the 5th payout
Each Sprint PTSA account allows a maximum of 5 payouts. After the 5th payout, the account is routed to Risk-Team review for Move Live consideration. This review is discretionary and is not automatic — it remains subject to the trader's full activity, risk profile, compliance history, and KYC status.
Risk & failure rules
These apply in both the Sprint Evaluation and Sprint PTSA phases:
Maximum EOD Drawdown — hard fail. Breaching the maximum EOD drawdown fails the account.
50% MAE — instant fail ($500 on 25K, $1,000 on 50K). A single position reaching the MAE amount fails the account immediately. There are no warnings, and the MAE amount is a static limit (it does not trail or expand in profit).
Daily Loss Limit — soft breach ($625 on 25K, $1,250 on 50K). When net daily P&L reaches the Daily Loss Limit, positions are closed, and the account is locked from trading until the next session (6:00 PM EST). It does not by itself fail the account.
Overnight holding is not allowed. Sprint Accounts are day-trading futures accounts only.
Resets and Signing Bonus
Only the Sprint Evaluation can be reset, using a Standard Reset at the fixed reset price ($65 on 25K, $100 on 50K). Sprint PTSA accounts cannot be reset. There is no Signing Bonus on a Sprint Account at any stage.
