Rule by rule
Express and Instant use a 6% relative drawdown trailing the CLOSED balance high (floating equity never moves it) that locks at the starting balance; the 2-Step Classic uses a static 8% on both phases.
A static 10% max loss from initial balance and a 5% daily limit anchored to the higher of the previous close's balance or equity — nothing trails, but touching either terminates the account.
A 4% daily limit (6% on Instant) whose basis is in documented conflict between the prior day's closed balance and the higher of balance or equity, plus a hard 3% per-symbol daily limit on Classic.
A hard 5% daily limit on High Stakes measured against the higher of the previous midnight's balance or equity — hitting it terminates the account.
The Classic requires no day to exceed 35% of net profit in each step, and the funded account 50% per payout period — it never fails the account, only delays passing or paying.
There is no percentage consistency rule, but each step requires at least 3 profitable days of +0.5% or more, which blocks one-day passes.
7% per phase ($3,500), no minimum days; static 8% ($4,000) max overall loss, 4% daily.
Two steps: 8% and 5% (a 10%/5% variant also exists), minimum 3 days each; 10% ($5,000) max overall loss, 5% daily.
Withdrawals begin day 1 on Express/Instant then every 7 days; the 2-Step Classic pays every 10 days. The split scales 80/20 to 90/10 at 20% profit and to 100% (lifetime) at 30%, so the advertised up-to-100% is accurate.
First withdrawal 14 days after the funded account is activated and every 2 weeks thereafter, at an 80% split scaling to 100%; performance is rewarded with redeemable hub credit toward future challenges — not a cash refund of your fee.
