Rule by rule
The daily limit is a % of the HIGHER of the day's opening balance or equity (a big overnight floating gain raises your floor), and max loss is static except on Zero, whose 5% trailing line locks at breakeven.
Both the flagship program and the GO program use Smart Drawdown — a -10% floor that tightens to a fixed -5%-of-starting-balance floor after a 5% gain; only the One/Two-Phase and Micro challenge programs use static 4-10% floors.
Hard daily limit of 3–5% by model on the higher of opening balance or equity — an equity touch closes the account instantly, even with the trade still open.
A hard daily limit of 2–5% by program on the higher of balance or equity at 17:00 EST, plus an extra hard rule: losing more than 50% of the day's allowance on a single trade idea also breaches.
Three distinct mechanisms: a 35% score for On-Demand payouts, a 15% best-day cap on Zero, and a concentration policy imposing a permanent 4-profitable-day gate if one trade idea exceeds 60% of the target.
Checked at payout: a 40% best-day cap on One/Two-Phase and a 15% best-day cap on IF Micro and IF1 (best day of total profit, not per trade); the flagship and GO have no consistency rule.
Two phases: 8% ($4,000) and 5% ($2,500), minimum 3 days; 10% ($5,000) max overall loss, 5% daily.
Single phase: 10% ($5,000), minimum 3 days; 8% ($4,000) max overall loss, 3% daily.
You trade split for cadence: 60% weekly, 80% bi-weekly, 90% on-demand (behind the 35% consistency gate) or 100% monthly, with the first payout 7 days after your first trade.
First payout at 14 days on the flagship (on-demand on challenges and Micro, from $25) at 80% upgradeable to 90% — the processing time is in conflict between 24 hours and 48 business hours.
