Additional Rules

6% profit target ($6,000) with no daily limit or consistency rule in evaluation: Maximum evaluation flexibility at this account size. Pass in 1 day possible.
EOD maximum drawdown of $3,500 (3.5%): The initial floor is $96,500. Breach at session close terminates the evaluation.
40% consistency activates in funded stage: The balance target of $103,100 means the first funded payout requires $3,100 in profits. A single day generating $1,240 or more (40% of $3,100) blocks the payout until additional trading normalizes the ratio.
5 winning days per cycle (min $360/day): The $360 minimum qualifying day is the same threshold as the Beginner $100K — a demanding bar requiring meaningful sustained daily performance.
Fixed 6-Mini funded capacity — no scaling: Unlike the Beginner $100K where funded trading starts at 2 Minis, the Standard $100K funded account provides 6 Minis from the first funded trade. This immediate full capacity access combined with on-demand payouts makes the Standard the most operationally efficient evaluation model for experienced traders at this account size.
Reward cap of $2,000 is lower than Beginner equivalent ($3,000): Despite the higher on-demand flexibility, the Standard $100K has a lower payout cap per cycle than the Beginner $100K. Traders who generate large monthly profits may prefer the Beginner's higher $3,000 cap despite the weekly-only schedule.
1.71:1 PT:DD ratio: Generating $6,000 with $3,500 of EOD buffer requires efficient, consistent execution. A single $1,750 adverse session (50% of buffer) leaves the remaining $1,750 to absorb all future adversity while still needing the full $6,000 target.
Platforms: Tradovate, Volumetrica.

Scaling Plan

No contract scaling in funded: Fixed 6 Mini / 60 Micros throughout the funded stage.
Balance target for first funded payout: $103,100 ($3,100 above starting balance). On-demand payouts with 5 winning days per cycle. Reward cap: $2,000. Min payout: $500. Min daily profit: $360.
90% profit split. Up to $450,000 maximum.
