Starter Challenge Account

The Starter Challenge is the first step in the evaluation process.

You’ll need to:

  • Hit your profit target

  • Respect all risk and drawdown rules

  • Maintain 50% consistency

  • Trade on at least 2 separate days

Once passed, you’re upgraded to a Prime Account.


Prime Account

Prime is the post-evaluation, funded stage where your performance and consistency are monitored more closely.

Prime accounts include:

  • 90/10 profit split (you keep 90%)

  • 35% consistency rule

  • Soft daily loss limit — breaching it results in payout delays, not termination

  • Payout eligibility after 10 profitable trading days, each with at least $150 in profit

  • Ability to manage up to 3 Prime accounts simultaneously


Account Management Notes

  • You can hold unlimited Challenge accounts

  • You may hold up to 3 Prime accounts at once

  • Once you graduate to Live, you're limited to 1 account
