Rule by rule
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Only the Test has a consistency rule: no single day may exceed 50% of total net profits. The rule is soft — exceeding it raises your profit goal rather than failing you. How far it raises it is contested within TPT's own rule: the formula implies twice your best day ($4,000 after a $2,000 day), while TPT's worked example sets it at twice current net P/L ($6,200 on $3,100), and TPT does not say which its dashboard enforces — plan on the higher figure. The PRO and PRO+ rules articles list no consistency rule.
50K: $3,000 target, $2,000 drawdown, 5-day minimum. On Diamond Hands, ETF's own pages disagree on the minimum: the plan page says 5 trading days, the homepage comparison strip says 10 — plan on 10 until ETF settles it.
50K: $3,000 target, 3-day minimum on new tests bought from Aug 17, 2026 (existing tests and resets: 5 days), within a $2,000 end-of-day trailing drawdown.
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.
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: we publish no verified price. ETF's own April-2026 blog says 1-Step "starting at $197" and End of Day "starting at $347"; a third-party guide puts the 1-Step 50K at $165, and the live plan pages contradict both. Resets and funded-stage fees are recorded as open disagreements, so we settle neither.
50K Test: $150/month subscription, no activation. Test resets are risk-adjusted by size since May 2026 ($79–$199; 50K $99), though one TPT landing still shows the old flat $100. Frequent promos (e.g. NOFEE40).
