Rule by rule
Trailing drawdown of $1,000–$4,000 by size (EOD or intraday line) that locks at starting balance + $100 in the PA, with unrealized P&L counting toward a breach even on the EOD line.
Trailing drawdown of $1,500–$4,500 by size — EOD in the Test (with the breach checked in real time) and intraday in PRO — locking exactly at the starting balance, without the +$100 extra other firms add.
Soft daily limit of $500–$2,000 by size that pauses your session without failing the account; intraday evaluations have no daily loss limit at all.
There is no daily loss limit in the Test or PRO (removed January 2025); only PRO+ Development remediation accounts carry a soft $500–$2,000 limit.
No consistency rule in the evaluation; in the PA no single day may account for 50% or more of total profit since your last approved payout, checked when you request one.
Only the Test has a consistency rule: no single day may exceed 50% of total net profits (a soft rule that raises your goal); PRO and PRO+ have none.
50K: $3,000 profit target against a $2,500 drawdown, no minimum days.
50K: $3,000 target, 5-day minimum, within a $2,000 end-of-day trailing drawdown.
Weekly payouts after 5 qualifying days, $500 minimum, at a 100% split but hard-capped at 6 payouts per PA, after which the account is closed.
Withdrawals from day one in PRO at an 80/20 split once you clear a buffer equal to the max drawdown, and PRO+ pays daily at 90/10 with no buffer.
50K: ~$197/month list, but with near-constant promos (up to ~90% off, ~$20/month). One-time ~$85 activation when funded. No paid resets on current evals.
50K Test: $150/month subscription, no activation, $100 reset. Frequent promos (e.g. NOFEE40).
