Evaluation rules

Profit target
6%
Evaluation only — 50K $3,000; 100K $6,000; 150K $9,000. No profit target on Sim-Funded.
Max drawdown
25K $1,000; 50K $2,000; 100K $3,500; 150K $5,000 (EOD trailing)
EOD trailing, locks at Initial Simulated Capital — 50K $2,000; 100K $3,500; 150K $5,000. Equity cannot hit the limit. The limit only rises. After a breach, pay a Reset Fee or wait for the next monthly subscription.
Daily loss limit
25K None; 50K $1,000 soft breach; 100K $2,000 soft breach; 150K $3,000 soft breach
Evaluation none. Sim-Funded soft (auto-flat for the rest of the day; account stays open) — 50K $1,000; 100K $2,000; 150K $3,000.
Min trading days
No minimum trading days
None on Evaluation — accounts are assessed after the trading day ends. Payout eligibility is separate.

Funded rules

Funded drawdown
EOD trailing; floor locks at starting balance + $100 after withdrawal
Same EOD trailing max drawdown as Evaluation, locked at Initial Simulated Capital. Soft daily loss on Sim-Funded only.
Consistency rule
None
40% Best Day during Evaluation — not a hard breach; keep trading until Best Day is ≤ 40% of total profit.
Consistency rule (funded)
40%
None — no Consistency Rule on the Sim-Funded Account
News trading (challenge)
Not recorded
Allowed, provided the trade is not a Forbidden Trading Practice. News-event concentration that is inconsistent with broader trading can still fail the risk-management standard.

Max live balance
Trade up to $750K (futures)
Max 3 concurrent Sim-Funded accounts; up to $450,000 simulated capital. Live Funded is invite-only.
Scaling plan
Not recorded
Sim-Funded only; scales with EOD profit above Initial Simulated Capital and scales back down if that profit falls. 50K starts at 2 contracts (up to 5): $0–999 → 2; $1,000–1,999 → 3; $2,000+ → 5. 100K starts at 4 (up to 10): $0–999 → 4; $1,000–1,999 → 5; $2,000–2,999 → 8; $3,000+ → 10. 150K starts at 6 (up to 15): $0–999 → 6; $1,000–1,999 → 8; $2,000–2,999 → 10; $3,000–4,499 → 12; $4,500+ → 15. Evaluation uses the full size cap (5 / 10 / 15) with no scaling.

Where they differ

No single row separates these two. A row is only ranked when both values share a unit — a percentage is never ranked against a dollar figure, and a monthly fee is never ranked against a one-time one. Read the table above and weigh the rules yourself.
