Rule by rule
Each size sells with two drawdown engines ($1,500–$5,500): Option 1 is a real-time intraday trail that counts floating P&L and documents no stop, while Option 2 is EOD with a daily limit that locks at initial balance + $100.
Multiple drawdown engines by plan: 1-Step uses live intraday trailing where unrealized peaks raise the floor (the firm does not publish a lock level for it); EOD plans move the floor only at close and lock at starting balance + $100; static plans never move.
Only Option 2 (EOD) carries a daily limit, from $400 to $4,500 by size, and it is soft: it suspends the rest of the day without failing the account.
Only the EOD plans ($1,100–$2,200) and Diamond Hands ($1,500) carry a daily limit, and it is hard: touching it, open losses included, fails the account unless you buy the TradeShield add-on.
The 40% rule applies only when requesting a Master Account payout: no single day may account for more than 40% of total profit, blocking the payout without breaching the account.
Instead of classic consistency, funded payouts use the ATD system: you need 8–10 active days each earning at least MAX($200, 23% of your best day); the 1-Step keeps a classic rule whose percentage the firm doesn't publish.
Weekly Wednesday payouts ($1,000 minimum, after 10 traded days) at 100% of the first $10,000 then 90/10 — but declining the mandatory move to a live account after 3 payouts closes the Master with no payout.
On Elite sim accounts you keep 100% of only the first $12,500 then 90%, with payouts processed every Wednesday and requiring 15 Active Trading Days for the first two cycles then 10 thereafter. LIVE ELITE (uncapped 80/20, $250 min) triggers at whichever comes first: 5 payouts, 50 Active Trading Days, or the $25,000 sim cap.
