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.
All plans use an end-of-day trailing drawdown ($1,000 to $5,250 by plan and size) that updates end-of-day but is enforced in real time. On Sim Funded accounts it locks into a fixed floor $100 above start once you profit past the drawdown amount; evaluation accounts do NOT lock.
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.
Soft daily limit of $600 to $3,000 by size (Select Flex has none) that pauses the session without failing the account. At 6% profit the limit is RAISED to a higher fixed amount on current accounts; it is fully removed only on legacy pre-Sep-2025 accounts.
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.
Consistency only blocks payouts, never the account: 35% on funded Growth, 40% in the Select evaluation only, and a progressive 20/25/30% by payout number on Lightning.
50K: $3,000 profit target against a $2,500 drawdown, no minimum days.
50K Growth: $3,000 target, 1-day minimum, no consistency rule in the evaluation.
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.
A 90/10 split across plans, with payouts every 5 winning days on Growth and Select Flex, daily on Select Daily, and instant on Lightning, always subject to per-payout caps.
