Rule by rule
A mix of static floors (8% Two-Step, 3% Three-Step, 10% BNPL eval) and trailing ones (5% One-Step, 3% Instant, 8% funded BNPL off the floating-equity peak), with no documentation of whether the trail ever stops at breakeven.
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 hard daily limit of 2–4% by program on the higher of equity or balance at 00:00 UTC; only the BNPL evaluation has no daily limit.
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.
A 20% consistency score on Instant, funded BNPL and OMO (15% per trade on Mini) gates withdrawals, plus a universal rule: above $5,000 profit your best day can't exceed 50%.
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.
8% ($4,000) and 5% ($2,500), no minimum days; 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.
Payouts every 10 business days at 80/20 (Mini at 70% and within 24 hours), with a global $10,000-per-trader cap every rolling 30 days and the M2 Account Saver cutting your split to 50% at a 2% drawdown.
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.
$50K Standard 2-Step: one-time $220 (~$198 with a coupon), refundable on your 3rd withdrawal. One-step version at $170.
$50K High Stakes (2-step): one-time ~$309, no monthly or activation fee (a lower-priced variant with revised targets also exists).
