Rule by rule
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Phase 1 8% ($4,000), Phase 2 5% ($2,500), minimum 4 days each; static 10% ($5,000) max overall loss.
Single phase: 10% ($5,000), minimum 3 days; 8% ($4,000) max overall loss, 3% daily.
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on the live account, then monthly (or bi-weekly with an add-on), at up to a 90% split — the base without add-ons is unpublished — with the fee 100% refunded at first payout.
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.
