Verified rules
Drawdown · what kills you
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.
Daily loss
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.
Consistency
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%.
Targets & min days
8% ($4,000) and 5% ($2,500), no minimum days; 8% ($4,000) max overall loss, 4% daily.
Payouts & split
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.
Pricing
$50K Standard 2-Step: one-time $220 (~$198 with a coupon), refundable on your 3rd withdrawal. One-step version at $170.
News trading
On Maven standard challenge and funded accounts you may not open OR close a trade within 2 minutes before or after a red-folder Forex Factory release for the related instrument - including a take-profit firing inside the window, even on a position opened earlier. Profit made inside the window is not credited in either phase, and an evaluation passed on the back of such trades will not be passed. Instant accounts are exempt; OMO has only a 0.50%-of-balance profit cap when funded; Buy Now Pay Later permits news throughout.
What it costs you: The FAQ is more specific, but the T&C is the document that governs a dispute. Trading the news on an instant account trusting the FAQ leaves you with no argument when they answer with the contract.
