Rule by rule
The trailing drawdown rises only on CLOSED profits (equity never moves it) and locks at the initial balance once you gain the drawdown amount; Pro uses a static 8% and Signature an EOD trail of $1,000–$4,500 by size.
A 4–10% trailing drawdown by program off the closed-balance high that locks at the starting balance once you gain that percentage or request your first payout — withdrawing all profit leaves you with zero buffer.
A hard daily limit (fixed dollars off initial balance) of 3% on One and 2.5% on Pro that permanently closes the account on an equity or balance touch; Signature only has a soft 2% pause in the Performance stage.
A 3–5% daily limit by program based on the previous day's balance; the standard Instant account's is in documented conflict between 'none' and '8%'.
A best-day rule only in the funded stage: your top day can't exceed 40% (One) or 35% (Signature) of total profit when requesting a payout — the payout is merely deferred, the account survives; Pro has none.
Standard programs document no consistency rule; Lightning caps your best day at 30% of total profits and Instant Lite at 20%, withholding the payout (not the account) until met.
Single phase: $4,500 (9%) target, no minimum days; $3,000 (6%) max drawdown, $2,000 (4%) daily.
Phase 1 8% ($4,000), Phase 2 5% ($2,500), minimum 4 days each; static 10% ($5,000) max overall loss.
First payout from just 3 days into the funded stage (daily on Pro and Zero), at an 80/90/100% split chosen at purchase and paid via Rise or WorkMarket, subject to the best-day rule.
First payout on demand after your first closed trade on the live account, then monthly (or bi-weekly with an add-on), at up to a 90% split — the base without add-ons is unpublished — with the fee 100% refunded at first payout.
