Rule by rule
In the Gauntlet Mini and Trader Career Path evaluations, an end-of-day trailing drawdown that adjusts at close, is breached intraday against open equity, and freezes at the starting balance (GAU50 = $2,000). Funded Live accounts switch to a continuous intraday trailing drawdown, and the largest Trader Career Path funded accounts use a FIXED minimum balance ($194,000 on the $200K, $388,000 on the $400K) that never trails.
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.
A hard daily loss limit including open P&L and commissions — touching it for an instant, even without closing the position, fails the evaluation. In the Gauntlet Mini it runs $1,100 (GAU50) to $4,400 (GAU200); the Trader Career Path starts lower (e.g. $550 on the $25K).
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.
A 30% rule in the evaluation only: no day may be 30% or more of total PnL (it never fails you, just delays passing); funded accounts have no consistency rule.
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 target, 5-day minimum, within a $2,000 end-of-day trailing drawdown.
Weekly Wednesday payouts from $100 minimum net; the split is set by EACH withdrawal's size against your account tier's threshold: TCP 25K–200K switch from 50/50 to 80/20 at $1,500/$2,250/$3,000/$4,000/$5,000 (TCP 400K is a fixed 60/40), and Gauntlet Mini funded accounts GM50–GM200 at $2,250/$3,000/$4,000/$5,000.
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.
